COURT HOUSE NOTES.

A peculiar case was heard before
Judge Henry Tuesday morning. War
rants for the arrest of Lon Soliday,
G. v. London and Clarence Small had
been issued and these men brought
in by Deputy Sheriff Klepper, on
charge of grand larceny. When the
case came up for hearing and all the
witnesses on all sides were heard, it
developed that the case didn't appear
to be one of stealing at all, but sim
ply that a team had been taken OPEN
ly, and returned to the owner. Con-
sequently. the case was dismissed and
the three released.
The cases tried in Judge Henry's
court for bootlegging last week re-
suited in thee of the men being bound
over to the district court. Arthur
Ruse, James Macon and Ed Holden
were the men. Holden was tried also
on a charge of gambling, and was ac-
quilted on that charge. Ruse and
Macon are out on bail, pending the
i trial of their cases in the district
court. Holden failing again to provide
bail, is held in the county Jail. R. B.
| Mitchell and c. F. Roberts. charged
also with gambling, were tried and
acquitted. Elmer Stone was released,
without trial, there being not sutfl-
cient evidence.
Chas. Moritz, who was sent to
Blackfoot two weeks ago, committed
suicide Monday.

gan Wednesday.

Y. M. c. A. BUILDING
PROMISED THIS FALL

It is fully expected, by those inter-
ested in the establishment of Y. M.
G. A. in Caldwell, that a branch will
be placed here not later than this fall.
The location of such branch here
has long been in contemplation, ac-
cording to Mr.. O. V. Bailey. one of
the prime movers along this line, and
the northwestern association regards
Caldwell as the best point in southern
Idaho for such location. The trouble
has been that some local conditions
have always, heretofore, interfered
to prevent the consummation of the
ideas of the promoters. The last
time the plans reached the focal point,
the necessity of pushing through the
foundation of the college and the ex-
penditures incident thereto, forced
them to drop this matter for the time
being. Now, however, conditions are
ripe, the business men are back OF
it, the young men demand it; the
present agitation in favor of secre-
tary or leader for the boy life of Cald-
we'll, logically leads up to it, and il
does not seem possible that it will
again be sidetracked.
For some unexplained reason, thu
movement for this worthy end seem!
to be confined almost wholly to thu
laymen, some of our ministers, it il
said, appearing to regard the estab
lishment of any institution which
would be open to men, PARTICULAR.
young men, on Sunday, in the ligh
of competition detrimental to the in
terests of the church in point of at
tendance. Not that any of our min
listers are known to have made sue
statement, but the laymen, it is sale
complain of lack of the ministerial &C
operation which would naturally b
expected in a movement with sue
high purpose.

TAX COMMISSIONERS
WAS IN THE CITY.

John D. Robertson of Weiser. one
of the recently appointed tax commits
sioners of the state, was in the city
this week for the purpose of meeting
with the county assessor and commits
sioners. The Tribune sought out MIR.
Robertson in regard to the operation
of the new revenue law. He said in
substance that the great thing to
guard against at this time was low
valuations. The assessment should
be high as only 40 per cent OF the as
sessed valuation is used for taxation
purposes, and the maximum rates that
can be levied or fixed by law. In or
der to produce revenue sufficient to
run the county, cities and schools the
valuations must be approximately
the real value of the property.

Obituary.

One of Idaho's Oldest pioneers,
James M. Patton, passed away Friday
morning, the I'D inst, in his 73d year
Mr.. Patton was born in Cannons-
bury, Pa, Nov. Is, 1889, and served
his country in Company G, l4Oth
Pennsylvania Volunteers, during the
Civil War, fighting in % battles, in
one of which he was wounded. He
removed to Idaho in 1875, locating
as station master for the Overland
Stage Co., at Malad, which post he
held for two years. He moved to
Boise in 1873, remaining there for
five years, and came to Caldwell in
1883, and had been engaged in con-
tracing and carpentering ever since.
Mr.. Patton helped to single the old
Haskell home, located on the site OF
the present Cakes store, the first
house in Caldwell.
Mr.. Patton had been i'll since Christ
mas, but only confined to the house
for about 5 weeks, during all of which
time, up to the day of his death, he
was up and around the house, though
very feeble. Death was the result o.
no specific trouble but due to gen.
eral breakdown.
He is survived by his widow, for
merly Nancy Wolgamoth, of Birming
ham, Iowa; son, Kerr Patton, locat
ed near Winnemucca, New, and two
daughters, Mrs. B. H. Darrah of Sho
shone, and Miss Laura Patton o

Cash Donations for last 10 Years.
$35,5O4.72
Total, $l63,053.96.

What has become of this money?
The treasurer's books show that the
greater part has been spent for the
new buildings and the running ex-
penses of the school here in Caldwell.
The trustees expect to erect mems
building this summer and to undertake
a 100000 endowment campaign; this
secured, the school will have fair
beginning from financial standpoint.
Caldwell has always been most loyal
to the college especially in the matter
of money, no town of the same size
in the country has done better by its
schools.
Only once has the good will of the
city towards the college been ques-
toned by the writer and that was in
the action of our most progressive
council in shutting the college cam
pus out of the regular sewer district
and compelling the trustees to put in
a miserable makeshift when they
would have gladly paid for the stand
ard sewer.
Again we sometimes wonder if the
present generation of Caldwell citizens
desire such school in their city. All
colleges beget Deggars, and foster beg
ging, always wanting something; no
college pays expenses, all must have
endowments. Yale, Harvard, Colum-
bia, and the state universities are not
exceptions. If it should be that the
citizens of Caldwell do not longer care
to be burdened with this institution
now is time to speak out (no offense)
because the trustees contemplate plan:
for the school that will take effort
money, and sacrifice to carry out. L
would be well for our interested citi
zens to consult the treasurer at tht
Western National Bank who has al
the records and accounts. This gen
tleman is of the bilious type, and Sc
has little of that which is expressed
by the slang phrase "hot air" Yo,
will get real facts from him.

parius araan and His EIylna Machine

Darius Green and His Flying Machine
If ever there lived a Yankee lad,
Wise or otherwise, good, or bad,
Who. seeing the birds fly, didn't jump
With tapping arms from stake or
stump,
/ Or. spreading the tail
OF his coat for sail,
Take Q soaring leap from post or rail
Ana wonder why
lie couldn't fly,
And Hap and nutter and wish and try,
If ever you knew a country Ounce
Who didn't try that as often as once,
All can say i, that's sign
He never would do for {, hero of mine.
An aspiring genius was d. Green;
The son Of farmer-age fourteen:
His body was long and lank and lean
Just right for flying, as will be seen :;
He had Two eyes as bright as bean
And freckled nose that grew be
tween.
\ little awry. for ! must mention
That he had riveted his attention
Upon his wonderful! invention,
Twisting his tongue a. he twisted The
stqngs
And working his face as he worked
the wings.
And with every turn Of gimlet and
Turning ana scrcWinG lis mouth round
too.
Till his nose seemed bent
To catch the scent,
Around some corner. of new baked
pics.
And hi. wrinklel cheeks and hi-
squintine eyes
Grew puckcred into q queer grimace,
That made him look very droll in the
face.
And also very wise.
And wise lie must have been, to do
more
Than ever a genius did before,
Excepting Daedalus Of your
And his son Icaru>, who wore
Upon their backs
Those wings Of wax
He had read Of in the old afmanackS.
Darius was clearly of the opinion
That the air was alsv mans dominion,
And that. with paddle or fin or pinion,
We soon or late
Should navigate
The azure a. we ns9ietaOinctaonb-n
The azure as now we sail the sea.
The thing looks simple enough to me :,
And if You doubt it.
