Payette. Sept 20.-Hundreds Of
FARMERS and fruit growers of the valley
as well as a large number residing on
the .Payette- Oregon slope are daily
viewing the fruit and vegetable ex-
hibits Of Payette's street fair which
opened here very auspiciously We'd
nesday. Gaily decorated booths line
either side of Eighth street, and in
these are housed exhibits of various
kinds, while large tents are being used
for the poultry and pet stock shows and
these especially vie with the fruit ex-
hibits in drawing large crowds. The
Payette merchants have entered into
the spirit Of carnival week with COM
mendable enterprise and have secured
especially fine exhibits Of fruits and
vegetables which are attractively dis
played in their windows. Much favor
able comment is heard in regard to the
window displays. especially from the
travelling public, and already consid-
cradle interest has been aroused in the
possibilities of southern Idaho as a
fruit growing section as a result of the
merchants activity.
Friday and Saturday will be the "big"
days of the carnival, all of the sports
taking place at this time. Purses have
been hung up for all of the principal
events which has resulted in much
interest and enthusiasm being mani
tested by the contestants.
The fine arts and household depart
ment under the supervision of the
Portia club. Is perhaps attracting the
largest number of people, especially
the ladies Of the valley. Potted plants,
beautifully dressed ladies and espe-
cfally fine plano selections throughout
the afternoon hours by w. A. Turner
Of Portland, representative of Sherman
Clay & Co. make this department quite
the most pleasant place that one may
seek. The collection of oil paintings,
water colors and etchings loaned to the
art department Of the General Fedora
ton of Women's clubs as a travelling
exhibit by the Chicago Water Color
club and the Society of Etchers Is at
tracing much attention and this sec
ton Is crowded also to it's utmost
capacity. Music by the Payette Juven-
lie band during the afternoon and
evening hours contribute In no small
degree to the pleasure OF the carnival
crowds.

shows, was In the handwriting OF Sage;
that said cashier reconciled the account
as shown on the altered sheet and made
out and signed a reconcilement sheet
acknowledging that the Shelley bank
was indebted to the Standrod bank in
the sum Of s2464.24, and then placed
said receipt in sealed envelope and
put 1t in the mail basket containing the
outgoing mail of said bank; that when
said reconcilement receipt was received
by the Standrod bank the figures
$2464.24 had been erased and the figures
$554S.44 in the handwriting of Sage APP
peared on said receipt.
Evidence Conclusive of Fraud.
Sage got most of the Shelley banks
mail from the postoffice during the
months of April. May and June. 1910;
and 1t is also charged that upon the
receipt of the said slip for the month
Of April, 1910, the Shelley bank discov-
cred that the books Of the Standrod
bank must show that the Shelley Bank
ing company's Indebtedness to it was a
greater sum than $246424, as shown by
said reconcilement sheet, from which
the item containing the said five checks
described in the information had been
erased
THE $4,000 check was drawn by Sage,
the defendant. In favor of James C.
McGarry, in adjustment of land tran
saction, and was mailed by the defend
ant to the drawee at Salt Lake, Utah.
with some other papers. 1t was cashed
at Beaver. Utah, and thereafter got into
the possession of the Standrod bank at
Blackfoot. 1t also appears that said
reconcilement slip, dated April 5, 1910,
should have been received at the Shell
ley bank not later than the following
day, April g. 1t evidently was received
! there at that time. and a part Of it cut
off and the figures changed, as above
stated.
The evidence showing that the de-
PENDANT had received It and had made
the changes Is based on the facts and
circumstances that the defendant was
in the habit of getting the mall for the
bank. that the changed figures were In
his handwriting; that he was interested
in said matter. and that he was the
only one who was sufficiently familiar
with all of the facts to make the
changes that were made In said recon-
element slip.
AoaSS lCotllleu IL Witness on MS
own behalf that the figures in said
statement were not his figures, and we
suppose he means by that that he did
not make them, although he does not
testify directly that he did not-simply
testified that they We're not his figures.
Three witnesses testified that they We're
familiar with the handwriting of de-
PENDANT. and that they identified said
figures as being made by Sage The
jury evidently believed that the changes
in said reconcilement statement were
made by the defendant, Sage.
THE evidence is sufficient to show
that said reconcilement statements
were changed with fraudulent intent,
and such intent may be established
either by direct evidence or by the EVIL
dence Of circumstances showing q
fraudulent intent.
Judgment 10 Affirmed.
"The defendant also testified that the
first time he saw the checks referred
to, except his own, was on May 1s,
1910: that he drew said $4,000 check on
