Montour. the new town laid out IN
Boise county along the right Of way
Of the Idaho Northern railway exten-
sion on the Payette river, won out IN
the supreme court Of this state over
Waverly. also new plated TOWNSHIP
as the town entitled to go upon the
official ballot to be voted in Boise coun-
ty Nov. in the contest with Idaho
City for tho removal Of the county
seat from that place. The above tele-
gram received today from l. w. Hart
clerk Of the supreme court to Deputy
Clerk Flora J. Millsaps, in charge OF
the supreme court chambers here,
shows that the high tribunal Of this
state reversed Judge Charles F.. Nc.
earthly of tho district court for Ada
county in his opinion that the petitions
for both Montour and waverly are
legal and both were entitled to 70 upon
the official ballot. The supreme courts
decision differs with that Of Judge
Mccarthy in that It IL held waverly
should be omitted and Montour should
be placed on the ballot.
Fight Wassd for Months.
Tho case Is one Of unusual impor.
lance in Boise county where the
county seat removal fight has been
waged for months. Montour was the
first town to make bid for the
county seat in the event Of removal
from Idaho City. which, since the
formation Of the county has had the
distinction Of being the local seat of
government. Montour was recently
plated along the extension Of the right
OF way Of the Idaho Northern railway,
and Its hackers as well as the resi-
dents of the county in that, vicinity
put forth their claims for the county
seat.
Waverly later became a factor in
the county removal fight when IT be-
came apparent there was to be one,
and made claim to the right to go be-
fore the voters OF the county. Waverly
is located above Horseshoe Bend on
the Payette river and its hackers and
the residents In that part of the
county have been urgent in their
claims for the seat of government
fractional differences have sprung up
and the contest for the right to 20 be-
fore electors for the seat Of govern.
ment became decidedly interesting,
Immediately following the handing
down of the district court decision by
Judge Mccarthy. appeal to the SUI
preme court was filed by those OPP
posed to his ruling and the case was
recently argued and submitted to that
body at Lewiston by Judge John F.
MacLane and Kari Paine. It was
taken under Amusement The supreme
court reached it's decision and has
just notified the parties interested.

Chicago, Sept 13.-Having failed to

the ostrich and live on a diet Of hard
ware, John Martinez of this city is now
ready to eat like a man and has taken

is what the surgeon found in operation
for a gastric ulcer:
Nineteen jack-knives.
Four rusty knife blades.
A dozen springs and rivets.
