MINERAL LAND
/. LEASE LOOKS BAD
Claim is Made That Lease Covers
Only Iron Ore

BOISE, Idaho. Jan. 2s.-In the
senate today Macbeth of Custer coun-
" denounced the action of the state
land board in entering into a secret
agreement to lease to Gaylord W.
thompson, the Lewiston banker and
politician. 5000 acres of Nez Perce
county mineral land for so years.
The interests Of the taxpayers
nave not been considered in this mat
ter. A political debt due Thompson
for services rendered certain state Of
metals for their nomination at the re-
cent republican convention is to be
paid by the taxpayers. The terms Of
the lease are absurd and an outrage.
Thompson would obtain a five years
option on 5000 acres for $3.50, or $50
per year. The royalty of Is cents is
too low. 1t should be at least %
cents, with an ascending scale SINH
lar to the lease granted the steel trust
by the Northern Pacific said Mr..
Macbeth.
Macbeth was speaking to his mo-
ton instructing the public lands com
mittee to demand of the state land
board a copy Of the lease. Hart, the
republican floor leader, substituted
a motion that the matter be referred
to the public lands committee without
instructions. Hart declared that it
was more proper for the committee
to institute an inquiry on its own mo-
ton if the situation seemed to de-
demand it. President Sweetzer pre-
vented record vote on Harris motion
to which Macbeth took exception.
Roll call was finally ordered and
Harris motion prevailed, IS to 10. a
strict party vote.
Ask Proof Of Statement.
Immediately Hart presented a reso-
luton, which was adopted. request
ing Macbeth tomorrow to furnish
proof of his charge that G. w.
Thompson had been granted a lease
of state lands for services rendered
the republican party"
Another resolution was adopted re-
qhiring Macbeth to furnish the senate
within five days proof of his asser-
tions relative to the construction of
the capitol building. During the
reading of the resolution Macbeth in
terrupted to say that he had not
charged graft but deceit and misman-
agement. During the discussion of
the resolution Kerns OF Shoshone
county declared that Macbeth would
have told what he knew before. but
that when he started to do SO he was
cut of by republican objections.

James O'Donnell, formerly of Greene vile and well known in this city, was killed in Providence Friday evening, June IS, by being run over by heavy truck. He was the son of Patrick and Bridget O'Donnell, now of Bridgeton. survive. He leaves also three broth CTS and three sisters. A brother, Pat rick. died in May. The Providence Tribune thus speaks of the occur renee.
 The unknown man who was run over by a heavily loaded truck at the cor ner of South Main and Cent streets, early Friday evening and almost in stantly killed, has been identified by Jams Wright of Norwich, Conn, as James O'Donnell of Bridgeton. N J. Wright had known O'Donnell, and sec ing him in the city Friday. thought that he might be the unkn 'wn. The identification is thought to be correct as there was a small tattoo mark at the base of the right thumb extending up to the forearm, on which there was an outline of heart and the initials "J. O'D.'
 The accident was a peculiar one, al though Medical Examiner Magill thinks that it was an accident pure and simple. The man had been drink ing heavily and was leaning against a pole on the sidewalk when a truck owned by c. H. Weaver came along. The truck was heavily laden. The driver, Antone Fratus, turned out from the car tracks to allow two cars to pass just before he cameto Cent street and kept close to the gutter. He mo- ticed a man leaning against a post at the corner, but did not appreciate the fact that he was intoxicated The horses passed the man, who just then lost his balance and pitched forward to the ground. F'ratus pulled up the horses in quick order on hearing a cry. as it was shown by the fact that the wheel which first touched the mans head did not turn from it.
 Medical Examiner Magin was noti- fled and the body of the man was re moved to an undertaking establish ment, where an effort was made to identify him. He had been drinking heavily.
 Witnesses of the accident are unan- imous ins exonerating the driver from blame and aScribe the mans death to his intoxicated condition,
