RAISED NEW POINT
IN PROBATE COURT

Yesterday morning the case in at
tahment Of E. c. White VS.. Geo.
w. Stanger. was heard before
Judge Haag. Mr.. White had
brought suit for s24O commission on
a loan of $4,000, and had attached
land and stock belonging to Mr..
Stanger. Attorney T. S. Becker,
for Stanger. moved a dismissal of
the attachment on the ground that
the affidavit had been signed by
the probate judge as clerk, and
raised the point that the probate
court was a court of record in pro-
bate matters only. The attachment
was dismissed, and yesterday after
noon the hearing on the original
suit is on before a jury. Attor-
ney D. Worth Clark of Pocatello
represents Mr.. White. and the two
drove over during the morning.

The six-year-old son of Signal
Foreman Baker OF the Short Line,
narrowly escaped being killed last
Friday when his venturesome spirit
prompted him to climb a windmill
tower. He assembled about thirty
five feet, and in some manner lost
his footing, and made a clean drop.
The only thing that saved him
from possible death was a clothes
line which received the full weight
Of his fall. The line broke, but
it checked the fall of the boy, so
that he got out of it with a few
bad bruises and a general shaking
up.
DR.. H. T. Low was called and
after a thorough examination, pro-
nounced no bones broken. and the
%youngster is as good as new at this
time but hereafter will steer a
little shy Of windmill structures.

Germ presented his samples for in

OF finances proved a stumbling
