himself and Goldsmith that developed
into such general discussion of Judge

Klock said he considered as unfit.

one of the greatest markets in the
world. Potlatch and Bovill and Elk
River and st. Maries, with their thou
sands of working men, are at the very
door of Deary, and afford cash mar
ket for thousands of dozens of fresh
eggs at all seasons of the year. Deary
has direct railroad connection with
these markets, and the people are now
compelled to ship in their supplies be-
cause our home people do not produce.

somebody in the possibilities of the
poultry business at Deary, and want to
find worthy man who will come to
Deary and accept a tract of land as
a gift. All that | will require is that
the fortunate man make a success of
the business, and if he does not it will
be his own fault, for the sunny south
slope of Mount Deary, with its mild
climate, is ideal for poultry, and the
market for the eggs and poultry is
there now, and the prices are high.

NEW YORK, July 18.-Aaron Levy,
attorney for William Shapiro and
Louis Libby, who are held in connec-
ton with the murder of Herman
Rosenthal, the we'll known gambler,
admitted today that Shapiro drove the
murderers to the scene of the crime, but
he insisted that it was at the point
of a gun that he did so. Both Shapiro
and Liby assert that Jack Rose,
friend OF Police Lieutenant Becker,
prominently mentioned in connection
with the gambling scandal, hired the
automobile used by the murderers.
The authorities redoubled their eff
forts to run down the murderers to-
day, and District Attorney Whitman
said that he expected confessions from
Shapiro and Libby which would throw
light on the crime.

shelter tents, their rifles, with 80
rounds of ball, their bayonets and
their shovels. The officers, being

The trip includes a few hours stop

visit in Seattle at the Golden Pot

IDAHO'S FAME In
HUMOROUS TERMS

A humorous description of the state,
by George Fitch in the Record-Herald,
Chicago: Idaho consists of number
of hopeful but lonesome communities,
bound together by a state election. 1t
is one of the largest states in area,
but is so sparsely settled by railroad
depots that when statesman in a
northern county wishes to visit his
constituents in the southern part of
the state, he has to change cars four
times and borrow a right of way
through two neighboring states to get
there. Thanks to the telegraph and
the magazines, however, all Idahoans
speak the same dialect, eat the same
kind of breakfast food; and get mad
at the same varieties of oppression by
Wall street.
Idaho has $4,000 square, but by
no means fat miles, and has 325,000
people, or one for each quarter sec
ton. However, over 10000 of these
people are crowded together in Boise,
the capital and metropolis, and Mos
COW, Lewiston, Occur d'Alene, and
other BIB towns with howitzer voices
Thus a great many square miles in
Idaho are deprived of their rightful
four inhabitants and it is possible to
wander for hundreds of miles in the
central part of the state without meet
ing candidate with petition or a
man who wants to borrow match.
Idaho is the last stopping place on
transcontinental trains before the re-
call is reached. 1t is 400 miles long
and two miles high in spots and most
of it is only rained on biennialy. In its
virgin state it is SO dry that even the
telegraph poles have to be watered to
keep them from whiting. However, irri-
CATION is being applied in the valleys
with much success and Idaho land is
being sold as far west as Illinois in
large quantities.
Idaho has vast natural deposits of
gold, lead, timber, jack-rabbits, Nor
mons and waterfalls.

nors, the 12-year-old girl found last
week in the Bronz, were told to the
grand jury by two relatives of Nathan
Swartz, his father and sister, Mrs
Frances Alexander, who testified that
he admitted to them he murdered the
child. ,
| Mrs. Alexander said that the child
was jammed in a box after having
been stabbed more than 40 times by
SWartz and that she remained alive
in the box throughout night.
According to Assistant District At
torney Mott, Mrs. Alexander told the
jury that her brother said that Satur-
day night he met Julia Connors and
asked her to take pair of opera
glasses to his home, which is just
across the hall from the vacant fat
where the murder was committed.
The young man said he followed the
girl and at the top of the stairs
attempted to assault her.
The child screamed, according to
the story Of Mrs. Alexander, and
Nathan stabbed again and again until
she finally fell. Then he plunged
the knife into her breast near the
heart and Julia remained still.
Alive Over Night.
Then Nathan went to his own home,
procured the box in which the body
was found, placed the still living
child in this box after cutting off her
hair, put the box on the dumb waiter
and let it slide to the cellar, where he
hid it. Early the next morning he
took the girl, still alive. into the lot
where she was found.
Mrs. Alexander said she threw the
youth out of her house when she
heard the tale. He then went 70 his
fathers place of business, where he
told the same story, according TO the
father.
