Willard VS.. Norcross Case
Ended.

The case of Hattie Willard VS.. E. f.
Norcross was finally disposed of in the
supreme court last Tuesday at the open
ing of the November term in Mont.
pelier, when Chief Justice Rowell hand
ed down decision reversing the judg-
ment of the county court and ordering
verdict to be entered for defendant to
recover his costs. The arguments III
the case were made at special session
OF the supreme court in October and
after review of the evidence there pre-
sented the decision as above was an.
nounced.
The case has unique history in Yer.
mont courts having been tried three
times in the county court and the same
in the supreme court, and extending
through period of nearly nine years.
The first verdict OF the lower court was
for $500, the second for $4,000 and the
third for $4,000 all for the plaintiff.
The higher court reversed aud remanded
the cause the first time it was presented
for its consideration. The second time
it sustained the Judgment of the county
court but granted new trial on the
ground of the misconduct on the part OF
one of the jurors, but the last time found
that there had been no malpractice, and
that the defendants motion for a ver-
dict in the lower court should have been
granted Although unusual the decl'
sion is not without precedent as the
court substantiates the position it takes
by case reported in the SSth Vermont
George L. Hunt WAS the chief counsel
for the defence. H. .f

Essex County Court.

Court re-convened last Tuesday, Judge
F. NJ. Butler, presiding, assisted by
associate justices, X. 7, Brown of Lun-
euburg and G. II. McGinnis Of CRANKY.
On account of the inability of Attorney
General Sargent to be present to assist
in the prosecution, the case of Arthur
Bean of Maidstone, which was set for
trial on the first day of the court was
set ahead one week. Bean was indicted
for murder of his mother and sister last
May, and it being represented by his
counsel that the line of defense would
be insanity he was committed to
Waterbury for observation. As he was
without funds the court appointed G. H.
Powell to defend HIM, and who will
have as his assistants, Lawyers Dane
and Niles of Newport. The States case
will be handled by States Attorney, IL,
B. Amey and Attorney General Sargent.
The greater part of Tuesday was given
over to routine business. On Wednes-
day morning the case of State Carr

The Hobo Question.

Hoboes are getting numerous in
southern Idaho. Hardly a train
passing through American Falls but
carries a few of this class. Some go
ing east and others west. American
Falls has had it's share of visits
from them, although the officers
have been trying to keep them NOV
ing. The city council has instructed
Marshal Watts to take in and feed
any of these people who ire caught
begging. In compensation to the
city for this generosity Mr.. Hobo
is given an opportunity to do street
work, not only an opportunity but
the marshal sees that they do it. If
our citizens will refuse to feed these
people and notify the marshal when
one calls, this street work for a feed
will soon spread through the hobo
camps both east and west, and there
will be less of these people visiting
this city.

CASH L BLUFFS.
Facts Do Not Sustain Claims That
Are Being Made.

Are Being Made.
Fred Floed, private secretary to
Governor Hawley, in a published in
terview the first Of the week, said
he had received a letter from the
assessor of Lincoln county In
which that official claimed he was
assessing at cash value. From pri-
yate sources comes the information
that choice lands near Gooding are
being assessed at $40 per acre,
while n hold them at $3.50 or
more. Near Twin Falls, a partic-
ular tract of land held at $175 is
assessed at SIS. At Carey, Blaine
county, lands valued at 1928 per
acre are being assessed at $40 per
acre. The assessor Of Oneida
county has published a statement
that he will assess at full value
yet from private sources m the
assertion he is alleged to have
made, that the valuation of the
county for 1911 would be about one
and a half times as much as it was
in 1910, which would mean less
than so per cent is the basis. A
man who has been in all southern
counties recently, and who has met
men from almost every county in
the state since the assessors have
been at work says the average
valuation for all the counties will
scarcely be in excess of so per
cent of actual valuation.
