DISTRICT COURT In SESSION.
Regular Term On, With Prospect
for Three Weeks Grind.

The regular April term of
the district court for Elmore
county was opened at the court
house on Monday, and the court
has been in session ever since,
and unless all signs fail, will be
busily engaged in grinding out
justice in large and small por-
tions, for the next three weeks.
The work of the first two days
has been largely preliminary
to the serious work that is to
follow, but some matters of i'm
portance have already been dis
posed of. All the cases on the
calendar, as announced in a for
mer issue of this paper, have
either been set for trial or put
over the term, and the remain
der of the week will be devoted
to hearing motions and argu-
ments in cases where a jury is
not needed. The first case set
for trial before a jury is that of
the State of Idaho VS.. James
Clark, who was bound over to
this court on a charge of as
sault with intent to kill, in conse-
quence of a shooting scrape
near Dixie last November.
This case is set for next Mon
day, the 18th inst, and will
doubtless be the center of in
terest for several days. On the
18th inst, the hearing in the
proceedings for the winding up
of the celebrated Columbus
Burge estate, which has been
before the courts since 1882,
having been initiated at Haley
in that year, when this county
was still a part of the now dis
membered Alturas county.
Other cases of considerable To-
cal Importance have been set
for trial, and the remainder of
the term promises to be unus-
ually interesting.

Evans Case Dismissed.

This morning at the opening
of court for the second day Of
the regular spring term, Dis
trict Attorney Mclaughlin pre-
sented a motion to Judge Walt
ers that the case of the State
of Idaho VS.. w. D. Evans be
dismissed, on the ground that
he was not in possession of suf-
ficient evidence to convict the
defendant. The motion was
granted, and the case ordered
dismissed. This case, which
originated in the probate court
a year and a half ago, resulted
in the conviction of the defend
ant on the charge of gambling.
The |! case was appealed to the
district court, and came up for
hearing at the term last fall,
but was put over the term
for some reason never salts
factorily explained.

Bulge Case Opinion.

The vital point in the opin.
ion handed down by the Idaho
supreme court in the Bulge
case is that legal Interpretation
has been put upon the meaning
of the terms celestial" and
"patriachial" marriage as they
appear in the test oath clause OF
the state constitution and that
hereafter these terms, which
have been the subject of so much
controversy, can have but one
meaning in the eyes of the law.
The court holds that mas
much as the constitutional con.
vention clearly intended to pro-
hibit from voting or holding of.
hce only such persons as had
entered into the marriage rela-
ton with more than one wife
at time, or who belonged to a
church which aided or taught
them to enter into such polyga-
nous relation, the terms celes.

ment's irrigation program, the pros
ecution of great public works to
give employment TO the idle in this
time of depression, and the issue of
emergency currency exclusively by
the government.
The late date selected for the con.
vention of the new party suggests
the idea OF deal with one of the
old parties, presumably the democ'
racy. In the absence OF such a
bargain there will apparently be
four radical tickets in the field this
year. If the conservative elements
have any voting strength at all,
they may find the opportunity
tempting.-Collisrs.

as they appear in the state con-
stitution, mean the same thing
as bigamy, polygamy or plural
marriage-that they are synon-
ymous with such terms. In
other words, the supreme court
recognizes that the trainers of
the constitution did not intend
to debar anyone from voting or
holding Office because of his Pc
culiar religious beliefs, but only
on account of his illegal prac-
tices, or because he belonged to
church which aided and abet-
ted him in such illegal practices.
The court holds that the test
oath clause is self-operative-
that Is, Its provisions are bind
ing without legislative re.enact-
ment upon all citizens of Idaho
today-but this does not mean
that the Mormon people cannot
vote or hold Office legally if
they are innocent OF bigalnous
or polygamous practices, and if
their church does not teach
that such practices are right,
for it would have to be proved
that they were guilty of such
practices and that their church
still teaches polygamy or plural
marriage before they could be
debarred from voting or holding G

The pan in which braise is to

placed. A little water or stock and

gravy can be poured over the meat,
or can be served separately.

GOOD AUDIENCE
HEARS BOB SMITH
Popular Humorist and Reader Gives
Delightful Entertainment at Bap-
tist Church Monday Night.

A fair sized audience was
present at the Baptist church
Monday evening to hear the
well-known and popular enter
tainer, Bob Smith, and those
who were able to be present
were we'll repaid for their time
and trouble. Mr.. Smith render
ed a number of selections. both
humorous and pathetic, and
seemed to be equally good in
either kind. Among those CIV
en- were several favorites from
James Whitcomb Riley, whose
work seems always to please a
Mountain Home audience. The
touching selection, "I've Writ
ten Mother Pm Coming Home"
seemed to touch a responsive
chord with most of the listen
ers, while the amusing take-off
of the sweet girl graduate, and
her essay on Grass" made an
equally big hit with the audi
ence in another direction. Mr..
Smith is undoubtedly an i'm
personator of ability, and it is
indeed unfortunate that more
were not present to hear him.
The entertainment was given
under the auspices of the Bap-
tist Young Peoples Society and
the proceeds were for the bene-
fit Of the proposed new church
building.

KILLS MESSENGER
AND RIFLES SAFE
A. ID. BAILEY, WELLS FARGO EN-.
PLOYE is STRUCK DOWN BY
ASSASSIN AND ROBBER.
Tragedy Takes Place ON the Santa
Fe Express in Kansas-No Trace
OF the Outlaw Is Found.

Newton, Kas., March S0,-A. D.
Bailey, an express messenger of the
Wells-Fargo Company, was killed by
an unknown person on Santa Fe train
No. lis, between Florence and New
ton, yesterday. The murder was
brutal, with robbery as the object.
Both safes, the local and the through
safes, were ransacked and at least
$1,000 in money and some jewelry
taken. The amount the robbers Sc
cured is not known.
The dead body of Messenger Bailey
was found when the train reached
Newton. 1t was stretched on the
floor of the car, the head beaten to
pulp and lying In pool of blood.
The back of the skull was crushed
and the end of the car where it was
lying was spatteded with blood. The
blood .spatters reached to the CELL
ing.
There was no evidence of any
struggle, the indications pointing to
the commission of the murder while
the messenger was asleep, before he
could offer resistance Bailey was
seen alive at Strong City. At Pea
body some one opened the car door
just enough to throw out a package
Of waybills and then closed 1t quick
ly.
The custom of the messenger has
been to go to sleep after leaving
Florence and 1t is possible that he
did this.v, After being struck while
sleeping, and rendered unconscious
his body rolled to the floor, and the
robber, after beating him on the
head, covered 1t with the dead mans
coat. One blow was struck at the
mans face with some sharp instru-
ment, apparently a hatchet, which
broke the jaw bone. From the dead
mans pockets the keys were removed
and the safes ransacked. Then the
keys were put back into Bailey's
overcoat, the coat folded and put in
his grip, where 1t was found later.
