the reason why it would not pay to
spend good money remodeling it. He
said that to remodel so that it would
meet present needs would require at
least $4,000, and perhaps more, and
this on an out of date building that
was worth nothing, was not good bust
ness. Mr.. Roo ney said that the cleo
trio wiring was not in compliance with
the requirements of the fire under
writer's, and that there was grave dan
ger from fire. He went into detail as
to the plumbing, saying that it was
a menace to the health of every per-
son in the building. He showed why
this were true. He afterwards told
the Star-Mirror reporter that If we had
a board of health that did it's duty the
building would be locked up and the
county forbidden to use it in it's pres
ent condition. 1t would not pass san
itary inspection. Mr.. Rooney said:
"The Latah county court house is the
worst l have ever seen in my life and
l have had wide experience. 1t is
simply awful" He also went into detail
about the Jail, saying it was unfit for
this purpose, and a menace to th-
health of any person confined in it.

SHOOTING AT POTIATCH NAY END IN Death
FRANKLIN THE CENTER;

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31.-That Bert
Franklin made detailed confession
of jury bribing in the Mcnamara cases
on January IA to Assistant Prosecutor
Ford, duplicating Clarence Darrow and
others and that he will be the chief
witness for the state when Darrow is
tried is rumored here today. Franklin
has refused openly to admit that he
and Ford have an agreement but he
made several significant remarks, one
being that he would never go to the
penitentiary and that he would not
perjure himself for anyone.
Ford has refused to affirm or deny
the report.
The report says that Franklin will
get immunity.

Ike Hibbard Seriously Injured in Quar-
rel with II. M. Williams Who
Has Escaped

Hibbard, having heard that Williams
had made sighting remarks about his
young daughter, determined to call the
man to account, and for that purpose
visited him last evening. The quar-
rel grew until Hibbard finally slapped
Williams face with his open hand, as
he declares. The other then stepped
back, pulled 32 calibre revolver, and
shot him.
The bullet entered the flesh under
Hibbard's arm, and lodged in the back
of his neck. He was taken to the Har-
rison hospital, as soon as found.
Deputy Sheriff Campbell was in
Moscow at the road meeting at the
time of the shooting, and is now in
Spokane, searching for Williams. Sher-
iff Brown was here today, also hunting
the man.

All yesterday afternoon the special
committee of nine chosen week ago to
investigate the county court house, was
in session at the court house. Every
official in the building was asked for a
statement of the respective depare
ments, and carefully cross examined
as to the condition of their records,
the amount of room needed, and the
effect of the loss of records on titles in
the county.
A. S. Whiteway and c. H. Lee, con-
tractors and architects of Boise, were
present with plans for a splendid build

formation.
F. P. Rooney, a Spokane architect of
note, a man who has handled some
contracts running into the millions,
was before the committee He said it
was folly to talk of repairing the pres
ent structure. He said the building
is not worth repairing; that the origi-
nal cost was probably not more than
$500, and that the natural deterior-
alton during the twenty or more years
since it was erected had made it of no
value. He went into detail showing

POTLATCH, Jan. 81. Especial to the

of a quarrel brought up over the good
name of Hibbard's daughter.
Williams, single man, disappeared
Immediately after the shooting, which
occurred about 500 o'clock last night,
and is believed to be either in Spo-
kane, or on his way to California.
When the shooting became known Of
ficers went to the mans place, where
they were told he had started to Mos
cow to give himself up. This is declared
to have been a ruse to gain time, in
which it was partially successful.
