trified that drowsy community, and he
soon pushed it far to the head in the
procession of progress.
Whatever Middleton lacked and its
opportunities justified Murphy put his
feet out after, and almost invariably
got it.
What Mr. Murphy did for Middleton,
he is now doing for Caldwell, but doing
it on larger lines and much more eff
fectively, because of his ripe exper-
fence in city-building and county
making.

extraordinary success.


Mr.. Murphy is the man who made
Middleton, a man who found a sleepy,
obscure hamlet, but who foresaw it's
possibilities, and backed his faith in
it's future by the investment of his
last hard-earned dollar in its dirt.
And with the result that he gave the
town start which was responsible
for it's present-day Importance.
Since taking up his home in Cald-
we'll it would seem that all who came
under his influence get the real estate
habit. He has, in fact, made real es-
tate transfers here and hereabout an
incurable epidemic, and, by the way,
he is doing nothing to check the pro-
gress of the disease. We should add
that although in the real estate bust
ness for five years he still has a well
developed and moral nature. Truly
this master home finder is an agrees
sive force who has given civilization a
new impetus in these parts. And
more invincible booster is not in

Spacious and SumpGtOus Offices.
The A. L. Murphy Co., enjoys the
distinction of having the most elabor-
ate office equipment of any real estate
office in southwestern Idaho, and
Boise, remember, is in this portion of
the state. Their office is on the ground
floor, adjoining the postoffice on the
south, is 20x70 feet, and all the fix
lures are of the bank style, are solid
quarter-sawed oak, are subdivided in
to an inviting reception room for the
public, large counting room, steno-
grapher's booth and private office.
Every inch of the floor is covered
with high grade linoleum. In a word
this office in equipment and attrac-
tiveness is the NEST up-tO-date in
southern Idaho.

PEASANTS AND CAR
MEET AT CENTENNIAL
No Important Political Announce
ment at PoItaVa Battlefield.
Historic Regiments
In Line

POLTAVA, July 9.-The hopes Oh
those who were expecting an impor-
,tant political announcement today In
connection with the celebration of the
second centennial of the battle of Pol
tava. in which Peter the Great over
came the Swedes under Charles XII,
were disappointed.
Emperor Nicholas this evening passed
two hours among 2400 peasant dele
gates who had assembled here from
central Russia, informally conversing
about their needs, but he avoided all
reference to political problems.
The most significant feature OF the
festival was the spirit of loyalty eX-
hibited toward the emperor in the heart
of Russia. Almost equally important
was the rebuff administered to the re-
dictionary organization, whose leaders
had hoped to turn the celebration into
a demonstration for the abolition or
the duma.
The celebration opened with the ar
rival of the imperial yacht at the site
of the battle. On disembarking tho
emperor found the historic regiments
drawn up in the positions that had
been taken in the combat with the
Swedes His majesty drove to the
church that was erected at the burial
place on the battlefield and inspected
the monument on a huge mound COW
ering the bones of 1345 of Peter the
Greats soldiers.

FRED WAUGH ARRESTED
ON SWlNDLlNG CHARGE
District Attorney Believes That He
May Have Been Connected with
Broker Brown Transactions

In the arrest of Frederick Waugh, the
district attorney declares that he be-
lieves an associate of Harry ID. Brown,
the 3OO-pound broker In his fake stock
transactions, has been captured.
Waugh was arraigned before Justice
Summerfield yesterday on a charge of
obtaining $3.50 from Mrs. Margaret
Eads, a woman 20 years old, to whom
he is said to have represented himself
as the owner of valuable oil fields in
the Kittrick field and in Ventura
county. Mrs. Eads says she gave him
notes for the amount, with the under
standing that they were not to be
cashed, but used for the purpose of
making a substantial showing for a
company Waugh told her he was to
incorporate. Waugh, she says, cashed
the notes and used the money for his
own personal benefit.
Waugh was arrested in the office
occupied by Harry D. Brown before
the latters flight to San Francisco,
when he learned a warrant had been
issued for his arrest on charges Of
swindling a number of persons in stock
transactions. Constables and sheriff's
deputies have been searching for him
since May 20, when Mrs. Eads swore
to the complaint against him, and is
is now believed that he has been hiding
in an office adjoining the one in which
Brown formerly worked.
Justice Summerfleld expressed fear
that Waugh would leave the city if
released on small bail and fixed his
bond at $4,000.
II am not an admirer of foxy people,"
said the justice, land do not intend
that you shall have chance to show
your cleverness," Waugh was unable
to furnish the bond and was remanded
to the county Jail to await his pre-
liminary examination, July 10.

you can't make a monkey Of this

Janet McKeever yesterday when she
manifested disposition to further dis
regard an order made several weeks
ago calling on her to deliver to her
husband, w. L. McKeever, number or
personal belongings.
McI<etver. who is separated from his
wife, was given judgment nearly two
months ago in his suit to recover
clothing and other articles taken by
her when she left him. She failed to
comply with the order and was in
court yesterday to give her reason for
this failure.
You must turn the articles over to
your husband" said the Justice after
listening to her explanations.
"And what If I DON'T" demanded
Mrs. McKeever.
You will go to jail and be given a
chance to think 1t over" was the re-
sponse.
Wont that be lovely!" exclaimed
the young woman derisively.
Justice Summerfield said he thought
1t would and reached for a commit
ment blank. Then Mrs. McKeeVer
wilted and asked for time. She was
given until this morning to bring the
goods into court.
A few hours later she forestalled any
drastic measure the justice might take
because of her failure to do this by
appealing the matter to the superior
court.

with the Calhoun bribery
case, and expressed the hope that the
Mitchell case might be concluded by
that date.
According to G.. Ray Horton, deputy
district attorney, who is assisting John

days. New witnesses have been found,
said Mr.. Horton, who added that he
would be surprised If the case went to

Indignant and vigorous action of the

IF the committee cannot serve the
purpose for which ii was appointed
there is little use in continuing" said

"The action of the board of superVis-
