Tempered With Headgates

Martin Walker Riasppery was ar
rested last Saturday and lodged in
Jail on a charge of having interfered
with a headgate in a lateral which
is in the Pioneer Irrigation district.
He was taken Monday into Judge
animation and was then transferred
to Judge Bryan's department of
justice, where he pleaded guilty to
the charge and waived all his rights
and asked to have sentence passed.
Riasppery stated that he has been
working for Robert Noble on his
ranch near Nampa; that the foreman
ordered him to use more water than
the land was entitled to with the
result that he was arrested and laid
in Jail from Saturday night until Mon
day morning. Judge Bryan took
into consideration the fact that the
prisoner had no malicious intentions
when he took more water than the
ranch was entitled to and therefore
was disposed to be as lenient as pos
sible. So he made the fine SIS and
costs, amounting in all to $40. The
officers of the Pioneer irrigation
district are bound to put stop to
the custom of raising gates in the
district by the ranchers- The dis
trict has a man who is paid for that
kind of work and they propose to en-
force the law. Caldwell Tribune.

HE ROBBED PETER"
Theory That Chicago Bank Robber
Stole to Pay Old Debt of So 900. :

| Chicago, Oct 16.-That Lamar A.
| Harris may have taken the desperate
| chance of life and death to repay a
loan of $4,000 from Mrs. Ernestine
Wolf of New York and Los Angeles is
a new theory of the police.
| Mrs. Wolf, who is the widow of
Daniel L. Wolf, after positively identi
| flying Harris body in the undertaking
| rooms at Highland Park, branded the
bandit who committed suicide to avoid
| capture as an embezzler and produced
| papers purporting to show the com
munication which passed between
| Them in her effort to collect the money.
| According to her story Harris was in
a desperate frame of mind when he
visited her at her residence. 246 West
| Forty-fourth street, three weeks ago,
and promised to reimburse her at all
hazards. She says his visit followed
one of shers to the coast. when, she
says, ''she intended to finish him.
She asserts they had several stormy
interviews about the money, and that
when she showed him he was guilty of
penitentiary offense he compromised
on a $1,000 debt by giving her a note
for $4,000, which was to bear 10 per
cent interest.
1--WE lived in Los Angeles about six
years. she said, but soon after the
death of my husband, who was a pro-
duce broker. I moved to New York
with my child and I earned liveli-
hood by writing songs. Harris had
urally 1 turned to him when a question
was raised over his insurance money.
MY husband died suddenly, and
that was the reason the insurance
companies didn't want to settle. Har-
ris collected all told about $4,000 for
ne and held out $1,000. Because of
the trouble and expense I was put to
and for the reason that I threatened to
make him trouble he compromised by
giving me note for $4,000 with 10
per cent interest
