TAKES Stand

Similar HILL CLAIMS HE HAD
NO KNOWLEDGE THAT HORSE
WAS ST0LEN-NEvER CLAIM
ED OWNERSHIP

The feature of the proceedings in
1.-THE district court today was the
testimony of Similar Hill, charged
with completely in the horse stealing
operations of Henry Bauer and
Edgar Kent. The state closed its
case last night and the entire fore
noon session was given over to the
defense in the presentation of It's
testimony.
about II o'clock and told of his Wis
it to Kippen and the meeting of Ed
gar Kent at the time he is accused
of having received the stolen horse.
The witness did not deny receiving
the animal but stated he had no
knowledge of the horse being
and that he accepted it only to pas
ture for Kent. That the horse was
turned in the pasture adjoining the
county road, and that no attempt
was made to conceal 1t from the
public view. That in fact he had
ridden the horse to Clifford and to
Summit where 1t was exposed to the
public view.
After the conclusion of the case
by the state Attorney @. w. Tan
nahill filed motion providing for
the court to instruct the jury to
render a verdict of mot guilty" /"
but this motion was denied.
/ Parties who have attended the
trial now in progress and who at
tended the preliminary examinations
of Hill when the testimony of Bauer
and Kent was given, are of the opin-
ion that the witnesses for the state
have not presented as clear case
before the district court as at the
preliminary examination.
The defense has made its case on
the grounds that Hill did not know
that the horse was stolen ana
never. claimed ownership of the
animal.
All Of this testimony was corropo-
rated by witnesses who were on the
H'll ranch and endeavored to pur-
chase the horse in question, but
were told it was being pastured for
man named Kent.
The arguments were made this
afternoon, and 1t is expected YER
dict will be reached early this even
ing.

TITIONS C0NDEMNING IT

BOISE, Jan. 29.-The Idaho wool
growers have begun in earnest to
make a bitter fight against the Tor
est service and the Inauguration of
the Pinchot policies, says the Capital
News, and have gotten Que numer-
Gus petitions, condemning in strong
terms the forest reserve policy,
which are to be sent to Idaho's rep
resentatives in congress. Several OF
the petitions are said to have a
large number of signers. Following
is "a copy of the petition:
s''To Idahos Representatives in Con-
gress:
Whereas, conditions in Idaho
were never more prosperous than at
present, it is our desire that the
same be maintained. Under the ex-
isting laws the irrigable lands are
being reclaimed, the areas suscepti-
be to dry farming are being home
steaded, and our population is stead
lily increasing; the mines are In OPP
Grafton day and night, and many
new properties are being developed;
new lines of railway are being built
in the state, and old ones extended;
the livestock interests are prosper
GUS, and especially the wool indus
try; the ranges wer enever better;
our merchants report increasing
trade; and our laboring men have
plenty of work at satisfactory
wages.
Therefore, we view with alarm
the Inauguration of the so-called
Pinchot policies, which by the very
nature of things Will retard the
growth of our young state, handicap
work upon the Irrigation projects OF
the government and private capital
restrict or destroy the home market
of the small ranchman, dry farmer
and settler, keep out the homebuild-
er, and otherwise restrict fmmigra-
tion, curtail the production of our
mines and prevent the opening OF
new properties and cause "a reduc-
ton in the wages of skilled mechap-
les and the laborer.
Therefore, we are unalterably
opposed to the leasing and fencing
of the public domain as propose1 by
the so-called Pinchot policies"

Fire Quilted the seven-story ware,

IS covered by insurance. Sherman
Moors and Alex MILAN, employed in
the warehouse, had narrow escapes
from death soon after the fire started.
They attempted to extinguish the
blaze with chemicals and while so en-
ployed their avenues of escape were
filled with fire. Seeing that it was
impossible for them to extinguish the
fire they raced for their lives through
the smoke and flames. Both men
were burned about the face and hands.
The fire went from the second floor
through the roof. Fire walls prevent
ed the flames from spreading to sur
rounding wholesale buildings.
