Sell corns Estate Jan. pam order
has been issued by the district court
of the United States calling for the
sale of the real estate owned by John
S. Corns, the defaulting treasurer Of
township II, who is a fugitive from
justice. The date of sale is January
% at 2 p. m. at the court house. The
trustees of township II, through their
attorney, George w. Wood, filed with
the referee in bankruptcy, Adaid Pleas
ants, petition for the sale of the
Corns real estate. The matter of fore
ing a sale was delayed because of the
belief that Corns would make a settle
ment with his creditors, thus doing
away with the necessity for further
proceedings in bankruptcy court and
protecting his bondsmen from loss. AS
no settlement has been forthcoming,
the petition for sale was entered.
The property will be sold subject to
incumbrance and TO the approval Of
the district court. Corns' shortage is
in the neighborhood of $4,000. The
real estate tht is to be sold has been
appraised at $500 by commissioners

acts which are wrong per Sc. CT lin
Themselves wrong in their Very es-
sence, and acts which are made wrong
only because men legislate them into
legal wrongs.
The distressing thing is that because
our boosted civilization continues to
regard labor as n thing to be bought
and sold exactly as coal or mutton is
sold it should be possible for a re-
spectacle court to enunciate an opin-
ion and issue a decree such as were
put forth by Justice Wright.
Labor's Fundamental Rights.
We well may disregard the technical
features of this controversy and avoid
becoming involved in entangling dis
cussicns of legal bubbles and court
pronunciamcntos.
On the contrary, let us state the sit
nation thuswise:
Labor is the outgo frcn human
heart. brain. blood and necessity. La
Dor is absolutely as essential TO indus
trial operations as is capitalistic SUI
pervision.
Thus far no dissent from the en-
ployer But what as TO this-that labor
possesses fundamentally an inherent
right in the outgo from industry ex-
actly as does supervisory capital and
that the latter merely is the custodian
of the property involved in industry?
Upon this rock well advanced and
stand still thinkers SPLIT. Tie ortho
dox economist will continue TO argue
that the laboring man must be conSid
cred by the employer precisely as a
part Of the business machinery of the
institution, his product to be bought
at the lowest price.
The orthodox labor thinker, too, viii
not depart far from the same concep
ton, for he will argue the output o.
the laboring man to be thing he must
merely strive to sell at the very high
est figure he can obtain in the market.

Spells Mystery.-George Peters has
turned up and spoiled a mystery. Sat
urday he disappeared from his place
of employment, the Davenport hotel,
and it was supposed he had been spir-
tied from the city by friends of John
Joseph, against whom there was filed
a charge here by Peters alleging that
he had been cheated out of 5000. Pet
ers is the lad who was injured in n
hotel accident in Rock Island, secured
a settlement of S1,400, gave the money
to Joseph, who deposited $500 in a
Davenport bank, and said he would in
vest the balance for the boy. Monday
afternoon Peters was located in Rock
Island in the company of Joseph. The
latter, arrested as fugitive from JUS
tice, was out on bail. The two arriv-
ed at an understanding. The money
on deposit in the Davenport bank was
released to Peters, and Joseph gave
him his notes for the 5000. This salts
fled the boy He will be paid the 5000
in monthly installments. The proceed
ings here and in Rock Island against
Joseph will accordingly be dismissed.

May Be Affected by Biow.-Eugene
Brydie, colored, was removed from his
boarding house at 11S West Fifth
street, in a delirious condition by the
police Monday night. He was taken
to ST. Johns hospital in the ambulance.
Brydie has been employed at local no
tells as porter Some weeks ago he
was hit over the head with billiard
cue by James Wooten in pool hall
on Fifth street. After he had appar-
emily recovered from his injury he
turned idler, and was living on con-
tributions that he gathered among his
friends. He was sent down on va
grancy charge, and finished his SEN
tence Sunday night. The injury to
Brydie's head has possibly affected his
brain.
Made Charge Less Serious.-Harry
Brown owes a debt of gratitude to l..
c. Leonard, father of Miss Jessie M.
Leonard, 2316 Hancock avenue, for
saving him from prosecution on more
serious charge than assault and bat
terry, on which he was convicted and
sentenced to serve 30 days i'll Jail, in
police court. Miss Leonard wanted to
prefer a charge of attempted rape, and
only at the request of her father did
she desist in her demand. The girl
had only met Brown twice. She sup
posed him a gentleman, and when he
asked to accompany her home from
the dance Saturday evening, she con-
sented. When within half a block from
her home he attacked her, and her
screams brought members of her fam,
lily to her rescue.

One of the most interesting racing
events ever seen in the Meadows oc-
CURED last Saturday afternoon. 1t
was a race that tested the skill of the
rider as we'll as the speed of the horse,
the contestants being required to don
their schaps and spurs, remove rope
or halter, saddle, bride and mount
their horses and go a mile.
There were six contestants: Ed.
Mcmahon, Will Jones, Will Howard,
Harry Briscoe, George Blackwell and
G. B. Hockett. The latter was the
first man off and Edward Mcmahon
won the race. The prizes aggregated
SIS.
A much-commented-upon feature
was the absolute fairness which made
the event a genuine test of skill and
speed, the kind of sport that ever,
normal man and woman enjoys. =

The Lewiston papers are making
about the same estimate on the cost
of the local option election in that
county that wrs made in Idaho county
so, 900 to 1000. A careful esti-
mate of the cost made at the auditor S
Office reveals the fact that the election
here has cost less than 81, 900 and
there has been that much or more
taken in fines the past two weeks.
Nez Perez county can rest assured
that the election will not be nearly so
expensive a luxury as the opposition
would lead the taxpayers to believe
it will not cost half of the above fig
ures.
The above paragraph, taken from
the Grangeville Globe, shows the ex-
pense of the recent local option cleo
ton in Idaho county. In area Idaho
county is the largest in Idaho and of
course the cost would be greater in
proportion to the vote cast. The
total vote cast for Secretary of State
in Canyon county last fall was 7047,
and the cost of our local option cleo
ton was less than $1,000. 90 according
to the record in the clerks Office.
Nez Perez county cast 7, 1874 votes
last fall for Secretary of State and her
local option election should cost about
the same as Canyon. Nez Perez can
better take Canyon as basis for esti-
mating the probable cost of an cleo
ton than Idaho county. Canyon and
Nez Perez are more nearly equal in
population and area. Caldwell Trib-

that they might attend school. Such
boys are here for work and are bound
to do good work and make rapid
progress. We believe that they have
chosen wisely and will some day look
back with pleasure upon this year I.
