SPECTACULAR
INCIDENT
SELLING WITNESSES
TO OPPOSITION AND HAGGLING
OVER TERMS Is \ FEATURE OF
COOPER TRIAL.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March g.
The spectacle of counsel on one side
not only calling witnesses to the OPP
position, but haggling over the terms,
was an incident today in the Cooper
trial. The subject of the transac-
tion was DR.. MePheeters Glasgow,
who had been employed by the pros
ecution to perform an autopsy on
Senator Carmack's body. He did so
and reported his findings to the pros
ecution. He was subpoenaed by the
state. but was not used, The defense
learned of the autopsy and summon
ed the doctor.
DR.. Glasgow told counsel for the
defense that his services as an expert
had been retained by the state and
that he would not discuss the case
except with the attorney general.
Then Attorney General MeCarn
proposed that IL the defense would
pay the state the costs of the autopsy,
including Dr.. Glasgow's fee, the state
would waive its rights. =
{ Judge Hart said the defense
wanted to see the goods" before it
bought and offered to confer with
Douglass.
In this prosecution entered an en-
phatic veto.
Pay whether you use him or not, "
they said
There was another hurried confer
ence and the defense bought the
goods in the bag and DR.. Glasgow
became their witness. The sfgnifi-
cance of his testimony was that any
one of the three wounds was neces-
sarily and instantly fatal, and that
IL the senator did not fire the first
shots he could not have fred at all.
The other chief witness was S. j.
Binnings. who claimed to have seen
Senator Carmack lingering his reyol-
yer and testing the cylinder a few
moments before the shooting began
As soon as Judge Hart raped for
order. Judge Anderson. of the de-
fense. asked that the jury be excused
His request being granted by the
court. Judge Anderson said:
Call DIR. Glasgow. Now, If your
honor pleases, the defendants are in
formed that, after a few days-after
the burial of Senator Carmack, some
time. we don't know when@an au-
topsy was performed by Dr.. Glasgow.
We have asked DR.. Glasgow to tell
us what he knows He has refused.
We ask that he be instructed to talk
to us-not to volunteer information,
but to answer our questions"
Then Attorney General McCarn
said:
I'VE have instructed DR.. Glasgow
not to talk. We retained DR.. Glas-
gov TO get certain facts for us. These
facts the defendants know. They put
those bullets into Carmack' s body,
they shot the bullets into the dead
man. They were there. and we were
not. We have no living witness to
that killing. The defense simply
wants to know how much We know
and we object TO their trying to get
at our evidence"
1t will be recalled that no autopsy
was held upon Senator Carmack's

answer to a letter he wrote Mr..
Hanna inQuiring when water would
be turned into the Deer Flat res
ervoir. In part, Mr.. Hanna says:
''As to the work on the main
canal, there has been lined at the
close of October 1000 linear feet
and it is expected that about 1000
linear feet will be completed before
turning water into the canal. We
are constructing eleven checks in
the main canal also, six of which
were completed. In repairing the
channel of Indian creek in the up
per stretch of the main canal there
was moved 1890 Gu. yds. of earth
and there were placed 661S square
yards of riprap, all of which has
been completed. Portions of the
upper stretch of the main canal are
being widened for the purpose of
increasing the capacity of the canal,
and there had been removed up
to the beginning of November
1870 Gu. yds. OF material in this
work. If the weather permits 1t Is
hoped that there may yet be re-
moved this fall sufficient material
to increase this quantity to 100000

that all of this work will be COM
pleted sometime during December.
AS soon as this work is completed
water will be turned into the canal
for filing the Deer Flat reservoir.
Water may be expected in the reser-
voir sometime during December.
Just what particular date we may
be able to begin running water l

SERGEANT BARRE
GREATLY.PLEASED

Sergeant s. P. Barre of the Unit
ed States army has been in Caldwell
for some days inspecting and drill
ing the Caldwell Militia Company.
He found that the Caldwell Com
pany was composed of an active, in
telligent and industrious lot Of
young men. He expresses high
qualification at the condition of the
local company in morals, skill and
enthusiasm, and unreservedly pre-
dicted a bright future for the COM
pany.
Captain w. s. Church successful
ly passed the examination for the
captaincy, and was pronounced an
unusually capable and efficient Off
Ger. Captain Church's experience In
the regular army stands him well in
hand now.
Sergeant Barre says he has writ
ten to the Department of the Inter
ior applying for two sections of the
Deer Flat Forest Reserve for a
target and camping ground. He an
ticipates little trouble In having
the two sections given him. There
is rife range at Boise, but 1t is
too near the city for camp discipline.
In case part of the Deer Flat For
est Reserve is converted into a
target and camping ground, the
Idaho National Guard will hold Its
annual meet at Caldwell in the flu
ture.
Sergeant Barre is late Of the
Third Infantry, regular army. He
recently returned from the Philip
pine Islands. and has been detailed
on the Governors stan for three
years.

tin, ex-attorney general of Idaho; and
Hon. M. B. Gwinn, of Caldwell.
The board has met with consider
able trouble and difficulty in getting
the matter Strengthened out. 1t has
been accomplished and to Mr.. Gwinn
the entire credit is due. He gave

Ing, we would be able to cover all
lands available for irrigation and
by so doing we would be able to cover
all the lands available for irriga-
ton and avoid any interstate compli-
cations by the diVerting of water
from Oregon to be used in Idaho.
After careful investigation, the
Owyhee proposition was adopted by
a majority of II votes of all the
votes cast. The Idagfon proposition
only received two votes. The Idagon
people represented by H. D. Page
and Mr.. Woodford, who had acquired
Mr.. Schenck's interest, then made ap-
plication through the state land board
for the segregation of about $1,000
acres of land. Said land included q
part of the original Gem district. In
their application they set forth the
cost of the reclamation at 100000
at a cost of So per acre for all gov
ernmen land and $50 per acre for
land under private ownership. Some
time after the filing of the original
application, the application was
amended, asking for about $500
acres. The price per acre for water
was the same as in the first appli-
cation.
Admitting for the sake of argu-
ment that their water supply was
adequate for the $4,000 acres, and
the cost of construction 100000, /
would have required all of the $4,000
acres at $50 per acre to have covered
the estimated cost Of construction.
With a reduction of over 5000 acres

Bran new Scheme That Gives so
Year Franchise to Sebree--WilI
Appease the People

At the last meeting Of the City
Council the proposition to appoint
a committee to notify MT. w. r.
Sebree that existing franchises
would not be changed or interfered
with by this council, was laid on
the table. This action indicated to
The Tribune that the present City
Council was still considering chang
ig the Sebree franchise to suit Mr..
Sebree's fancy or desires. We in
Quired of one of the councilmsn,
the present status Of affairs In re-
gard to the franchise. He said:
"Mr. Sebree has asked the City
Council to make him a proposition,
saying that he was willing to make
reductions and concessions to the
city, provided the five-year pur-
chase clause in the present fran
chise were eliminated. l think the
city should ask Mr.. Sebree to make
the following maximum rates: A
rate of 10c per kilowat for all res
idence, business and private light
ing. A rate of IS per month for
street lights of the same power, and
a little more brilliancy, as those
now in use, the city to take sixty
arc lights. A rate of l 1-2c per
kilowat for power for the city's
pumping plant. A rate OF Z lao
per kilowat for general power pur-
poses. 1t is understood that the
above rates are the maximum"
The Councilman was under the
impression that such rates would
satisfy the people and meet with
general approval. He called our
attention to the fact that the above
was a proposition he, himself had
in mind, and that 1t had not been
made or suggested by Mr.. Sebree.
Continuing, he said: do you think
the people would stand for that?"
1t is better that any of our neigh
boring towns are getting? If Mr..
Sebree intends making concessions,
he will have to come down to that
basis. 1 would not consider any
thing else"
The Tribune man expressed the
opinion that the people did not care
to change the present franchise at
all. That when the present FIVE
year period was up the people
would buy out Mr.. Sebree and run
the business themselves.

BOISE COUNTY BANK CLOSES
DOORS AFTER MANY YEARS

To those who live in the Boise
Basin and particularly to those who
have lived in Idaho City, the notice
that the Boise County Bank is to
close its doors will doubtless be a
surprising one.
Since 1858 this bank has han
died the dollars of depositors, now
widely scattered, and has loaned 1t
in turn, freely but cautiously, to
men for the development of mines
and other interests in the district.
There live today men who well re-
member the scenes of excitement
enacted within its doors, but these
scenes must be left to the magma
ton of all save those who were
a part of them. These men, what
few remain, and only these can live
over once more within themselves
the failures, the successes, the
pleasures and pains, experienced in
the early days in which this bank
played so prominent a part.
OF late years, carrying on its at
fairs as a branch of the First Ma
tional Bank of Boise, 1t has slowly
declined until now, because Of lack
of business, 1t closes It's doors, for
ever, perhaps, upon scenes that
once were brightest. Idaho City
