Monday-Jury Says mot Guilty"


Monday Jury Says mot Guilty"
The case of ]. H. Corbett, one of
the saloon men charged with selling
intoxicants TO minor, came up for
hearing before Judge Jaques Monday,
with Prosecutor Gilmore for the
state and Attorneys Vineyard and
Melvin representing the defense.
A jury of six was promptly secured
and the trial was begun in the fore
noon and continued until four in the
afternoon The jury was out but a
very short time and brought in YER
dict of mot guilty
The sale of the liquor was not de-
MED by the defense, but the jury
seemed to think there were extenuating
circumstances sufficient to justify an
acquittal. This was a fest case for
the whole number, and in conse-
quence of the verdict the county at
torney dismissed all the other cases.

North Idaho's Largest Daily
Practically Destroyed.
STARTS IN BASEMENT
Loss is Great-Water Does Much
Damage.

Word was received in Grangeville
Saturday that the Lewiston Daily
Tribune, the largest daily in the
north part of the state, had been
practically destroyed by fire at IL
O clock Friday night Expressions of
regret were heard on every hand,
the Tribune having large circulation
and hosts OF friends in this city and
vicinity. The Globe is pleased to be
able to state that the insurance adjus-
tiers are now in Lewiston and that the
Tribune will resume business again on
Friday or Saturday at the furthest,
which will be good news to the peo-
pie of THIS section Saturday Evening
Teller gives the following account of
the fire.
Fire which was discovered at II
o'clock last night wrecked the print
gplant of the Lewiston Morning
Tribune a considerable part of the
damage being caused by the water
used to extinguish the flames. AS
result the Tribune was not published
this morning.
The origin of the fire is not known
for certain, but it started in the base
ment of the building where the press
room and stock room are located and
1t is believed that the conhagration
started in the press room where
small stove was used. The fire was
discovered just before the employees
lunch and no one was in the base
ment at the time. The first intima-
ton that the place was on fire was
when one of the linotype men dis
covered smoke coming through the
flooring of the composing room.
The alarm was quic<ly given and the
fire department called out. The fire
evidently had been burning for some
time and the employees had to leave
the building at once, so dense was
the smoke.
Flames are Extinguished.
Number One fire company re-
Sponded quickly to the alarm and a
stream of water was turned il to the
basement of the burning structure.
The fire had evidently run up the
wooden joists to the flooring and
burned rapidly Near the small stove
IN the press room was barrel of
printing ink which is believed to have
become ignited from the heat of the
stove. The 6remen who worked
zealouSly endeavored 10 smother the
flames from the ink barrel, but with
out effect until it had died down of
its own accord. In the effort to ex-
tInguish the flames it was necessary
to turn in considerable water and the
damage to the delicate machinery
from this source is serious. Type
and other material were scattered
about in confusion and the damage in
the job printing department is almost
Irreparable.
The big press, which is located in
the basement, is badly damaged but
to what extent is not known at this
time. The flooring of the basement
is OF cement and about two feet of
water stands on the floor today. The
business Offices of the Tribune COM
pany were not damaged except by
smoke, though employees removed

Many expressions of regret and
sympathy with the proprietors of the
Tribune were made today when the
destruction of the plant became
known. The Evening Teller joins
in extending its sympathy and in the
event the management of the Tri
bune decides to issue the paper,
pending the repairing of the machin-
cry, the plant and offices of the Tel

Further, does he knew that the

Colonel McNeal doesn't Stir up us
farmers very much when he tells
about seeing Uncle Joe" Cannon
riding in an auto presented him by
his friends, or even furnished him by
the government. Many of US farmers
have ridden about in autos we should
like to have given us, and If we were
employed in any capacity where an
auto would be of value there would
be good sense in the government fur
nishing one for our use. Autos in
Washington are more common than
any other kind of vehicle. Some of
those in use are as fine as the one
Col. McNeaI and other Topeka office
holders ride in-which belongs to
some one else, of course. So while
the house riding in an auto yet the
president of the United States rides
in one, as we'll as many lesser Ameri-
cans and we farmers who have been
troubled with machines only hope
that neither Uncle joe or the presi-
dent will have them stop on them as
they sometimes do on us, and we are
glad they have such good roads to
ride on.
If we could take our machines and
ride around washington, or could even
go there, as many of us have. and ride
with friends. we should be feeling like
it very much. We are not prepared TO
resent it if Uncle Joe does commit the
| alleged heinous sin of riding about in
an auto. We merely hope he won't
get hurt.

perfect. Perfection in this life. so far
as discovered. belongs only to your
self and other insurgents.
The tariff law has faults and as they
appear they must be corrected. Presi-
dent Taft says the law is the best one
ever made under Republican leadership.
Bryan and other Democrats find the
same fault with the law that you and
your fellow insurgents do.
You say that you and other in
Surgents are yet Republicans. If you
think as Mr.. Bryan does then are we
stalwart Republicans to be assured that
Mr.. Bryan is also a Republican?
You are SO fond of asking questions
just tell us wherein you and Mr.. Bryan
differ? And here's a question more i'm
portant than any tariff item: Why don t
you as state printer do better printing
than you are doing-put in better ma
terial and do good work and get it
ready when needed?
You failed to issue the catalogues of
the various state schools in time for
use. The copy for the house journal
was given you sooner than any print
err ever got it before and you have de-
layed printing it for many months.
Neither the house journal nor the
senate journal of the last Legislature
rave yet been printed. Are you as
bad as a tariff expert as you are as
printer?

SAYS HE WAS KIDNAPPED
Atchison Boy Tells a Rather Ques-
tionable Story

wolcott, Kan. Dec. ga small
boy, who crouched shivering by the
fire in the power plant of the Kansas
City-Western Electric line here early
yesterday morning attracted the at
tention of men employed at the plant.
A rough looking man stood beside the
boy. Once he raised his hand as if
to strike him.
''Who are you?" one of the con-
ductors asked the boy. But before he
could explain the man started to tell
them that he was caring for the boy.
The men at the plant ordered the
stranger away. Then they questioned
the boy. He said his name is Martin
Saunders and he is 10 years old His
father is Fred Saunde- ;. who works
in a mill in Atchison. The boy said
that he had been Kidnapped from that
city by the man who was with him
and made to beg. He was taken to
Kansas City, Kan, and placed in
charge of the police.
The boy gave a description OF the
man and Walter Gibson. a detective,
was at police headquarters in Kansas
City, Kan. last night when a man
entered and asked a place to sleep.
The detective placed him under arrest
and he admitted being with the boy
but said that the boy wanted to go
with him.

"INQUIRES TO KNOW"
Ewing Herbert ASKS Interesting Ques-
lions of Tom McNeal.
To the Editor of the State Journal:

To the Editor of the State Journal:
My old army friend Col. McNeal, IL
getting chesty again and is once more
on parade with few questions that he
wants answered. He seems to thin
that he is a real Chinese puzzle-and he
is. all highland that because no one
has time to hand him the answer thai
he is the man the great throbbing peo-
pie should send to congress. He asks If
the present congressman in the First
district is willing that the American
people should contribute nine million a
year to the sugar trust and the people
OF the First district two hundred thou
sand?
He can safely conclude that no one
favors such contribution and he can
tribution is made, if he gets his esti-
mates from tariff rates. The tariff
doesn't go to the sugar makers.
Doesn't that same tariff benefit the
beet and cane grower the workman in
the sugar mill, the man who WHOLESALERS
and retails sugar and even the consum-
er who buys it?
Does McNeal know that before a
tariff was placed on sugar we paid
more in sugar duties than we now pay
on duties to protect the home product
And. as the price and quality of sugar
varies, how does he know that we pay
the amount he claims? 1t is any more
now than we paid few months age
Wnen ne was running for state printer
on the Republican ticket?
Didn't he know of the wrong then, il
any, and If it was wrong in the Repub-
lican party to protect American suga,
why didn't he leave the Republican
party then? 1t is a Republican admin
tstration that is prosecuting the sugar
trust and it is Republican policy that
is protecting the sugar industry.
What would become of the beet sugar
country if the protection given it should
be denied? Does the Democratic col
onel want free trade on sugar?
The colonel also wants to know if
anyone else knows that the tariff has
heen increased on shingles and heavy
tinbers.
Well, presumably the great Insur-
gent La Toilette. who voted for the
duty on lumber can explain the ne
cessity for the increase. l remember
when the duty on lumber was de-
creased 50 a thousand, but it didn't
lower the price and possibly this al
legged increase will not increase the
price. The tariff on structural steel
was also increased, but as enough
can't be had to meet demands the
duty doesn't seem to affect the price.
But now we have it: The duty on
cheap hosiery has been increased and
we farmers will have to go sockless
again as we did when we elected
