Caught The Boxcar Man.

County Assessor J. V. Nash
did a good stroke of business for
the county at this point Tuesday
when he rounded up a box car
peddler of woven wire fence and
made him come through with
taxes to the tune of $39.05. The
peddler evidently figured on do
ing a nice business among the
farmers of this section and by
selling at a trife smaller margin
than the local dealers unload a
car of wire fence hereabouts and
then HE to newer fields but the
assessor informed him that if he
desired to do a retail business in
Idaho county he would have to
pay taxer like other citizens. Al
first the peddler balked, stood or
his dignity and did several other
things but when he found that
Johnnie would not bluff worth a
cent and intended holding the
wire as security for the taxes he
weakened and put up a check tx
cover the amount. This satisfied
Johnnie and he went on his wa.
feeling the law had been vindi
Gated, the local dealers protected
and the county treasury properl
inflated.

Will Organize Base Ball Team

The base ball sports of this
city have decided to hold a meet
ing next Tuesday night at the
council room for the purpose of
taking some definite action in
regard to maintaining ball team
here this summer. Just what
plan will be tried is not yet known
but it is believed enough money
can be secured to purchase new
suits and paraphernalia and that
the admission charges during the
season will pay running expenses
and perhaps leave some over for
the players services. There are
quite a number of good ball play
ers in this vicinity at present and
it will be possible to maintain a
pretty strong team here this sea.

happens to prevent.

last DAYS OF
THE LEGISLATURE
coss;on Ended Monday With but
Few Members Present--=Ap-
,ropriations Muc h Heavier
Than Desired.

The last days of the eleventh
session of the Idaho legislature
were exceedingly strenuous,
;udging from all reports, and
surprised all previous sessions.
Instead of closing at noon on
Saturday as had been planned,
the clock was stopped and the
two houses continued in session
until Monday afternoon when the
session was adjourned sine die
with only a handful of members
present in either house.
On Sunday the lower house in
dulged in horse play most of the
dav while waiting for measures
to come down from the senate
and dignifed legislators proceed
ed to hurl paper balls and other
missiles over the house and cut
all sorts of youthful capers, fin
ally winding up the day by sing
ing songs, etc. In the senate a
more strenuous day was passed.
Early in the morning Senators
Day, of Latah, and Page, of
Bonner, engaged in a three-round
fist fight on the floor of the SEN
ate when Senator Page remarked
You are a gang of-robbers
at that university and you are
the worst one of the gang" The
combatants were finally separat-
ed after each had marked up the
other to some extent. Later
Page assaulted Bell, of Latah, on
the street while Bell was talking
to other members, knocking him
down.
On Monday morning business
was resumed again to a slight
degree but the adjournment was
taken shortly after noon after
most of the legislators had start
ed for their respective homes.
Owing to the vast amount o.
appropriations made it was
thought for time that specia
session would have to be called
as the governor believed tn
bonding limit of the state ha'
been exceeded but investigation
showed that the limit was no
reached by about one-half mi
and the legislators were allowe'
to go in peace. However, tn
appropriations this session ar
$500, 900 in excess of those tW
years ago and it is quite probabl
that the governor will use hi
veto on several measures carry
ing heavy appropriations for pull
lie work in different portions
the state.
