CITY HALL BONDS.

Tuesday, August 18th, the people OF
Payette will vote as to whether the
city will issue bonds in the amount
OF $4,000 with which to build
city hall A site has been donated
which means that the present lot
upon which stands the city edifice
could be sold and probably close
I to four thousand dollars realized
for it. The council has squarely
stated that if no better locatiohA;
offered they will accept the, one VI
fered by the Payette Land & Improve
ment Company and that if other
sites should be offered they will
give the people an opportunity to
decide as to where they want the
city hall located. The proposition
is fairly and squarely before the
voters. At the last city election
both parties had emphatic planks
in their platforms promising among
other improvements the erection of
a suitable city building. Some men
on both tickets were elected. They
have fulfilled their pledges as near
ly as they can by placing the mat
ter before the people for their de.
cision. That the city needs some
sort of a city hall and jail none
will deny. The present building
has been the butt of more ridicule
md jokes the past few years than
S possible to remember and has
'een called everything from a hen
oop to a piano box. 1t seems use
ess to argue on the merit of the
onds. They should be voted. FOB
an not improve city without eS
ending some money. The question
5 before the people and it is up
D them to decide. If they turn
he bonds down they can not con-
lstently accuse the present council
being opposed to improvement and
dvancement. You can not expect
lem to accomplish the impossible
nd without funds with which to
ork they can make no great pro-
ressive steps. They have stated
ley will leave the lcatioon of the
lilding up to the people. What
lore could they do If Payette
pes not get a new city building it
i'll not be because the present ad-
would not give the
eople any improvements. 1t will
) wholly and solely because the
,ople turned down those improve
ents and did not want them.

INSANE MAN SLASHES CARCASS

With the close Of the open season

S. G. Bailey of this city estimates
that fully 800 deer were killed dur
ing the 20 days allowed by law in
which to hunt deer and moose; and
that comparatively few hunters have
violated the game laws.
Mr.. Bailey estimates that the Ii
cense money derived up to date from

ty to hunt big and small game, for
netting whitefsh, using fish houses,
and from nonresident fishermen,
will be fully $1,000. .ss.5

sale of big game licenses; $144 from
small game licenses; and the re-
mainder of the licenses. from netting
whitefish, maintaining fish houses
and from nonresident fishermen for
angling with hook and line, will
easily reach the $1,000 mark
During the month of November,
Mr. Bailey succeeded in conVicting
six violators of the game laws, and
two paid fines on October Gath, max
ing eight convictions since October
%, as follows: @ ~. -.
October "a, w. L. King, maintain

paid fine of SO and costs, for having

Men Who Admit Having Taken $50
From Intoxicated Comrade, Sent
to Saltwater.
DESERVE NO MERCY SAYS JUDGE

Sentenced to serve an indetermi-

was the punishment meted out to
Jack Jerrad and Pat Marion, by
Judge z.stanton 5istrj It : Ia
Bemidji Saturday afternoon, when
Jerrard and Marion pleaded guilty
to the charge of having committed
the crime of grand larceny in the
second degree. The two prisoners
were brought to Bemidji by Ernest
Holler, deputy sheriff of Koochich-
ing county, who took them to Still
water late Saturday night.
gave to Judge Stanton Jerrard and
Marion, under oath, said they had
been stopping at Ray, in Koochich-
ing county, this fall; that on No
vember % they entered a saloon in
Ray, and joined Frank Millberger in
drinking. Milberger paying for the
drinks. Later, Millberger became in
toxicated and went to sleep, lying on
the floor Of the saloon. Jerrard and
Marion took $50 from Millberger's
pockets, so (they told the Judge, and

visiting a sporting resort at Ray.
The two men were arrested on

taking money from persons who be-
came intoxicated to such an extent
that they were unable to care for
themselves; that there was not one
mitigating circumstance in the case
Of the two prisoners.

Falls appeared for P. j. McPartlin,

aPUssYFooT' CRITICISED
Insubordination, Inattention to Duty
and Improper Handling Of Money
Charges Made.
SAID TO HAVE FACED EXPOSURE

ssThat w. b. (Pussyfoot) Johnson,
former Indian agent who has been
filling the press with complaints Of
his treatment BY. the Indian office
and the department Of the Interior, =
says w. w. Jermane in special to
his paper, the Minneapolis Journal,
by wire from Washington, D. c.,
"was orally charged with insubordi-
nation, inattention to duty, attempts
to mislead the department, and reck-
less use of government money, and
preferred to resign from the service
rather than meet these charges, is
the statement made by First Assist
ant Secretary Samuel Adams today
in a letter to Mr.. Johnson.
"Mr. Adams recites in the letter
how Johnson was summoned to
Washington and confronted with the
charges, and, instead of meeting
them or attempting to deny them, he
submitted his resignation. The
charges all related to acts committed
by Johnson in the southwest, and
had no connection with his work in
Minnesota. .sg z.-;s- ss
Several of the charges are cited
in the letter. One is that Johnson
insisted on the appointment of two
deputies for work among the Pueblo
Indians, whom he had been directed
to dismiss, and when the appoint
ments were held up he dropped the
prosecution of several important
cases of selling liquor to Indians.
Since Johnson resigned, these cases
have. been successfully presented to
grand juries by other government
agents.
johnson is accused also of misus-
ing government funds, and especial
ly in paying Juan Cruz as posseman
for Feb. and 4, the latter being the
day he shot Garcia. Johnson is ac-
eused of informing the officials at
Washington. Feb: z, that Garcia was
not connected with the government
l. r i
at the time of the shooting while la
ter he assisted in putting up the de-
tense that Garcia was acting in pur-
suit of his duty as q posseman. At
the hearing before Mr.. Adams, he
asserts, johnson declared that the de-
fense was that Cruz did not shoot
! Garcia at all. while in signed state
dents to others he declared that
Cruz shot in self-defense.
stMr. Adams says, in concluding
his letter, that Johnson's conduct had
fully warranted immediate dismissal,
but in view of his past services in
aiding suppression Of the liquor traf-
fic among Indians, he was allowed to
resign. Z
