The second days session of the su- perior court for Washington county, in special session at Westerly, with Judge Stearns presiding, and a jury in at tendance, was engaged on Tuesday in the trial jointly of the two cases of Courtland P. Chapman brought against the town of Westerly to recover dam ages for land taken in connection with the Watch Hill road improvement. The town council awarded MT. Chapman $275, which was rejected, and suit brought to recover damages of $2,000.
 Civil Engineer Hensen, who was on the witness sftand when the Monday session closed, was recalled. He tes- tif1ed that he was A years of age and had been a student of civil engineering for thirty years. To hold a section of the fill in place on a section of the road, abutting the Chapman property, would require a wall one hundred feet long, six feet high and which would cost $200. In other sections bank wall is necessary to prevent undermining of present stone wall and the cost per cubic yard would be about 8.
 James A. WeIch was the next wit ness. He was a member of the com mittee appointed by the town council to lay out the Watch Hill road, that is the second and last committee appoint ed. With other members of the com mittee two trips of examination were made to the Chapman property. The committee made no change in the lines and the committee engaged no surveyor, nor made no plot, but had a plot for their guidance as furnished by the town council. The committee made report and signed it and made the plot a part of the report. Civil Engineer Mckenzie assisted the committee in their work, but Mir. Welch could not say whether the engineer accompanied the committee to the Chapman place. but thought he did

like most other New England pastures

like most other New England pastures, was poor.
 He considered Mir. Chapman's loss by not using the pasture lot to-be about $50 The Watch Hill road work was completed in August 1908. MT. Chap man complained that the walls were not satisfactory on two occasions and claim was made that the wall was placed further east than agreed upon, but when complaint was made of the unsatisfactory condition of the new wall the witness was not a member of the town council and was without au- thority.
 At this point, or at 12.45, recess was taken until o'clock.
 The Congregational church in Paw catuck, having recently burned it's mortgage and being freed from debt, effort is now being made for the gem era1 improvement and equipment of the church property. It is planned to place a bell in the belfry for the first time, although it is many years since this church was established in Pawca- tuck and the present edifice construct ed. The procuring of the bell in the old Palmer street schoolhouse and the clock as well was given consideration, but this project has been abandoned and negotiations are pending for the purchase of a new bell. Although To- cated in Pawcatuck, many of the mem- bers reside in Westerly, and it is the only Congregational church in either place.

Attorney Barney, after the testimony for the plaintiff was in, explained to the jury the two cases at issue from the standpoint of the defendant and went into both cases in detail. He at tempted to show that in the first case there was no trespass as the town went on the land with the consent of MT. Chapman, and that there is no ground for damage, as nothing was done except with the knowledge and without objection of MT. Chapman. ex- cept such as for actual land taken and

Joseph T. Murphy, aged 36, a resi- dent of Westerly for tweRty years, and real estate agent for six years, was the next witness. He examined the Chap man property with a view as to it's valuation. The first section of the land he would value at $400 an acre and in the last section value was placed at $250 an acre and the several sections of like value. The pasture land in the first section he valued for building sites. The improvement of the high way undoubtedly increases the value of the abutting property. The taking away of a section in front for the pur- pose of widening the highway increases the general value of the whole prop erty rather than decreases, as the property is in no way impaired by the taking away of strip to allow for the improvement. With the exception of the knoll the other property is just as good for building purposes as before the road was widened, although the area of the land is diminished.
 Attorney Sweeney placed in evidence the claim of damages presented to the Westerly town council Nov. 27 1908, by Courtland P. Chapman, the sum specified being s1.600; also certified copy of the doings of the council in connection with the Watch Hill road work, together with the engineers plot connected herewith.

Last Sunday there appeared on our
streets a vehicle Of doubtful gender, sing
ular number, object OF wonder and much
speculation, and painted red and blue-oo-
90. The workmanship is Of the highest
character and it is built for keeps. In
fact, it promises to lay in the shade the
wonderful one horse shay of the Dea-
con of ye olden time. Many supposed
that it was band wagon for the Silver
City Brass Band; but upon investigation
we found that Mike Rock had had it
built-for what purpose no one can guess
by Dave o. Keefe with instructions to
make it good and stout, like we used to
have in ''ould Ireland, z and Dave sure
enough followed instructions. The cart
is on exhibition in front of Mikes saloon
building across the street from the Mug
get office. While it is loose we would
advise all citizens to keep their eggs safely
locked in some secure place.

SERIOUSLY HURT IN A
RUNAWAY.
Ole Olsen Brought to Boise
From Murphy and Placed
in Hospital.

Nampa, May ls-Ole Olsen was
brought in yesterday evening from Muir
ply and taken to Boise to be placed in a
hospital He was in very serious con-
dition, suffering from broken leg that
will probably have to be amputated on
account Of it not having been attended to
sooner after the accident happened.
Mr.. Olsen and a companion were driv-
ing two-horse team down Sinker creek
hill on the road from Silver City. The
brake broke and the two men were thrown
forward under the horses. In the runa-
way that followed the men were both
run over. Mr. Olsen's leg was broken
and his companion was rendered uncon-
scious. He came to himself after several
hours and was able to make his way to
Silver City. It was two days before Mr..
Olsen was brought to Murphy. where DR..
Ross was summoned to look after his
broken leg. The doctor found it in such
condition that he only made temporary
assistance and had the man taken to the
hospital, where it is probable that his leg
win be amputated
Mr.. OILS n is about go years Of age and
his condition is very serious Capital
News.
The above statement that after being
hurt Mr.. Olsen made bis way to Silver
City is mistake, as he was hurt on the
other side Of the mountain and was taken
to Murphy.

that these claims are very rich. The

COURT PROCEEDINGS.

The Ray Williams case was given to
the Jury Monday evening, and after
short deliberation they returned verdict
of acquittal.
The next case taken up was the State of
Idaho vs. Edwin VIM, for the killing Of
a Spaniard near Rooster Comb. This
case was tried last fall and Winn was
found guilty and sentenced, but his conn
sci appealed and new trial granted.
The work Of getting jury is necessarily
slow, as many of the jurors had attended
the former trial and for other reasons a
special venire of 80 jurors was ordered,
court adjourning from Tuesday noon un-
til Wednesday at O'Clock. Jury was
accepted on Wednesday and trial pro-
ceeded, the case being submitted to the
jury Thursday night about II O'Clock,
after hearing the eloquent addresses Of
the counsel and instruction of the Court.
The jury returned verdict Of acquittal
in a short time.
The case being tried this morning is the
State of Idaho VS.. Chas. Mack, for assault
with a deadly weapon This will prob
ably occupy most Of the day, after which
the case against Michael MCGEE will come
up.
The jury returned verdict ofnot guilty
in the Chas. Mack case. At the time of
going to press jury has been secured in
the case Of the State VS.. Michael MCGEE
This case will probably be given to the
jury this evening.

DAM ON STNKER CREEK
FINISHED.
Construction on the Owyhee
County Irrigation Project
Is Being Rushed.

Charles S. Childs, who has had charge
Of the construction work on Sinker creek
during the past season, was in the city
today from Murphy and reported the
completion Of the huge 67-foot dam which
will impound waters Of Sinker creek for
the irrigation system and that Gust Carl
son has taken his crew Of men and teams
from the sinker creek valley and brought
them to Boise.
While in the city Mr. Childs was in
conference with I'll. r.. Neitzel, an eastern
Nebraska banker, who is president of the
Murphy Land & Irrigation company and
who, after viewing the tract, expressed
the opinion that the system is success
fully constructed and that there is an
abundance of water available for crops
this year.
Both Mr. Childs and Mr. Carlson claim
that the Sinker creek valley impounding
dam is the best ever constructed. The
main canals have been enlarged and
net work of laterals built on the tract of
land where a number of settlers already
have fine stands of winter wheat, oats,
millet and other grain. Many of the set
tiers, with an abundance Of wheat for
crops available, express the intention Of
proving up on their filings and obtaining
patents TO the land this summer.
During the pa year something like
$3.50, 600 has been expended on this pro-
ject, according to the statement of Presi-
dent Neitzel, who states that the COM
pany has every reason to feel proud Of
the record it has made thus far in the
reclamation of arid lands in Owyhee
county. Settlers are clamoring for more
of the fine laying land and it is the inten-
ton Of the company to build several
smaller reservoirs Immediately in order
to increase the reserve water supply. The
owyhee mountains which supply the con-
tributing streams are covered with snow,
which will probably last all summer. The
water in the stream fed by the melting
snow is rushing strong this season and is
supplying the reservoir with twice as
much water as is required.
Lands have advanced from $35 to $50
per acre at which figure transfers have
recently been made and it is only rea-
sonable to expect that the raise in values
win continue as the soil, altitude, rail-
road facilities aud conditions generally
are in favor of the tract.
Robert f. Neitzel, of Waterloo, Neb.,
a member Of the company, will come to the
Gem state in the early part of June to
look after the company's growing inter-
ests, both in Boise and Murphy, and as he
comes well recommended he will receive
hearty welcome in Idaho. Capital

ENERYTH1NG WILL BE DONE
TO HUNT DOWN MURDERERS

Rome. March l4.-The question has
been raised In Rome as to whether
the United States is entitled to special
satisfaction from the italian govern
ment owing to the murder of Lieu
tenant Joseph Petrosno. of the New
York policed apartment. at Palermo
While the nature of the crime was
such as 10 stir the charts of all the
people. government officials point out
that only the diplomatic and consular
bodies are under the special protec-
ton of the government Petrosino did
not come under this head but was in
the same category as an American
citizen abroad contemplated in the
treaty between Italy and the United
States concluded February s. 1871.
establishing that the subjects of each
county shall enjoy the same protee-
tion and security for their persons and
property as natives.
The American ambassador has
made further representations to the
foreign office setting forth the inn
perative necessity for the protection
Of both Italians and Americans OF
bringing the assassins of Petrosino to
justice The foreign office Officials
assured him that everything possible
was being done by the Italian govern
ment and promised that he should be
kept informed of all developments.
