DE.1s9GCRAT EMBLEM
COMES TO COURT

Latah county court records bid fair
to become famous for their story of
the humble, long-eared emblem OF
democracy. First came the Juliaetta
case in which King Brothers of Mos
COW acquired a doubtful title to a
blind Jack, and the case grew both
voluminous and full of legal tangles
that was a delight to the expounders
of Blackstone.
Now comes another case that is up
for hearing before Judge Steele in
the district court today 1t was over
four years ago that Riley Clements
and his partner sold a jack, with a
pedigree, according to the defendants,
who are ten Nez Perce farmres, and
for which the farmers signed notes
aggregating $250O. The farmers are:
Frank Cargill, A. W. Williams, Perry
Sanger M. J. Drake, w. F. Johnson,
]. M. Johnson, Ivan Jorgens, John
Flatt, George Rhinehart and c. G. Hess
According to the defendants Clemants
& Lloyd never furnished the pedigree,
although it was a part of the written
contract, and under the laws Of Ida
no they cannot collect for the serv-
ices of the animal unless it be reg
istered. 1t is said that in explanation
of the failure to furnish the pedigree
that it was destroyed by fire when
barn burnt up.
The jack, according to Perry w.
Mitchell, attorney for the farmers,
was purchased from J. J. Nichols of
Davenport, Wn.
The attorneys for the defendants are
Perry w. Mitchell of Nez Perce and
c.. L. Mcdonald of lewiston.
