crime had been committed and
how sorry witness was. Witness
testified that he had $50 in bills
when he left Standpoint and had
most Of the money when he ar.
rived at Porthill. In buying a
drink Sunday afternoon he had
taken five-dollar bill from his roll
and Cameron had seen him as he
didit.
On cross-examination Allison
was mistaken in his story. He
took the revolver and at County
Attorney Costello's suggestion
acted out how Cameron approached
him and how he pulled the re-
volver from the pocket of his
mackinaw pants and fired. He had
placed the pistol in his pocket
when he left Standpoint. There
was but one cartridge in the gun
and another one had been dis
charged Sunday afternoon in his
room when he went up to change
his clothes and laid the revolver on
the bed. He had caught the bed
sheet in the revolver in some way
and it had been accidentally dis
charged.
Character witnesses for Allison
and against Cameron were put on
by the defense. Chief Traue testi-
fed that Cameron had bad reput-
alton. Ex-County Commissioner J.
p. Dunn testified that he had
known Allison seven or eight years
and his reputation was good. III.
A. French of Porthill and ]. w.
Gardner of Porthill testified to
Allison 5 good reputation.
Hugh Curley of Bonners Ferry
testified to having been at Porthill
and in the English poolroom and
that Cameron had told him, referr
ing to Allison, the Old
has got all kinds of money and l
tried to get into his room and
couldn't but I'll get skeleton key
and get in.
| Several other character witnesses
were put on and Mat Benson and
Sheriff Remer testified to Cam
eron's bad character. The sheriff
and Deputy Fletcher testified that
the bullet hole. in Camerons face
left powder marks, showing that
Allison had shot at close range.
The closing arguments were
made by County Attorney Costello
and E. w. Wheelan for the defense
Saturday afternoon and a large
crowd filed the court room. The

SMOKER" FOR
LEGISLATORS
Senator Defenbach and Representative
Elliott Honored By Commercial
Climb Saturday Night
DISCUSSED COUNTY DIVISION
Defenbach Gives Insight to Some
Acts Of Opposition

The smoker" held at Kent's
hall last Saturday night in honor of
Senator Defenbach and Represen-
tative Elliott was a grand success.
Although the affair was gotten up
i'll less than days time nearly a
hundred business men of the town
enjoyed fine spread and listened
with interest to the addresses which
followed
Major Walker was POSTMASTER
and in this capacity he surpassed
all records with his timely witticism
and quaint humor. The first
speaker called upon was Represen-
tative Elliott who talked in an
interesting vein of the work of the
legislature. Attorney Peter John
son, of Standpoint, was called and in
a short concise address explained
his position on the county division
question.
Following the address by Mr..
Johnson the toastmastar introduced
Senator Defenbach.
Mr.. Defenbach followed his
well-known plan of getting his
audience i'll good humor with sew
cral amusing stories. and then
dropping into serious discussion
of the doings of the recent legisla-
ture spoke in part as follows:
The history of the recent session
may be divided into three princi-
pal st ctions; the things accom-
plished, the things omitted, ana
the mistakes made The public
utilities bill was the big work o.
the session, and while l helped tS
resist some of the senate amend
ments that were finally passed,
believe that the facts do not justify
the charge of the more radica
press of the state that the law i
ineffective. The adoption of tn,
law, even as amended, is victor,
for good government. The regis
tration law and the act creating
state board of control of education
al institutions were the two othe
constructive measures, although
have my doubts as to the wisdom
of some of the provisions in tn
last named measure.
The most serious omission wa
the failure to make effective tn
\. initiative, referendum and REGAL
amendments adopted by the voter
al the last general election. 1t
1of a question of whether or nc
one believes in the good of thes
reforms. Failure to enact ther
into law was bold thwarting c
the expressed wishes of the peopl
of the state, and the last of it hs
not vet been heard. The failur
will have to be answered for b
those responsible. The other SCI
ious omissions were the failure
enact a workmen's compensate
act, promised by the state pla
forms, and the defeat of laws lool
ing to the regulation of the pra,
tice of lobbying. The greatest di
appointment which / encounters
personally was my failure to in
press the importance OF so han,
ling the business of state loans an
state lands as to encourage settl
ment and cultivation. The sta
loans over three millions in none
and it should restrict its loans,
far as possible, to those who W
bind themselves to use the mon'
borrowed for development us
State lands, when agricultural

stead laws; they should be d
posed of GA very sssy terms

Here Mr.. Defenbach exhibited a
plain MANILA envelope, printed by
the News for use in county cleo
tons. He stated that in June of
1912 the News furnished 2600 of
these envelopes, which any honest
printer would be glad to furnish

was paid $35O.OO for the job.

Cameron for the first time about

next day saw him about o'clock
in the pool room of the hotel.
Cameron asked Allison outside
and asked him for a dollar. L
told him / hadn't any money to

in the bar room in the afternoon;
had heard that Cameron was just
out of Jail in Standpoint and told
English that Cameron was worth

witness first saw Cameron the

the Whitney hotel if there was
anything doing at Standpoint.

Quaint Story Of Dumas and Scribe, the
Playwright.

Quaint story Of Dumas and Scribe, the
Playwright.
Sardou had his eyes opened by the
plays Of Scribe. At that day it was the
fashion among the younger literary
men to sneer at Scribe-as 1t is today.
by the way. to sneer at Sardou. Scribe
was called a ''potboiler," a maker of
mechanical plays, a man who wrote
scenes to 1T scenery and a maker of
plots rather than Of plays. Appalling
tales were told Of him by unsuccessful
playwrIghts. 1t was whispered that he
sucked the brains of other men. pur-
chased ideas, revamped them and, thus
acquired the large fortune which he
was then enjoying. 49, e:
y How they accounted for the fact that
with the ideas OF unsuccessful play
wrights he made successful plays ira
dition does not tell. But all We're
agreed that Scribe was mediocre. that
his success was accidental and that he
was a miser. Albert Wolf gives these
details Of the opinions held with re-
gard to Scribe in the ffties and adds
this anecdotes: .%
1.-THE only influential man ! knew In
Paris" said Sardou. was Dumas the
elder. One day I said to him. Won't
you give me a letter Of Introduction to
Scribe. the playwright Scribe said
the great romancer-'who IL Scribe? !

termined to see Scribe without q let.

day and was at once received. Par

Westward by Ice Pressure.
1t may be news to most people tim,
North America has Travelled from Eu
rope across the Atlantic to it's present
position on the globe aud that it Is
still moving toward China.
According to the calculations Of Pro
fessor Wegener Of Marburg. Germany
North America in the last tw~enty-si1
years has moved 295 feet away from
Europe. and Greenland in eighty-foul
years has travelled the appreciable dis
lance Of 3,OS3 feet. also away from
Europe. Professor Wegener believes
that this movement westward Is due
to surface pressure exerted by ice.
Not only does this pressure force the
continent or island upon which it is
exerted to sink; but. just as a lot OF
cakes Of ice lying upon each other in a
pan of water move the lower strata OF
the ice cakes sideways. so does surface
pressure Of ice force an island or even
