UNTAGGED DOGS
UNDER THE BAN
CITY AUTHORITIES WILL SEND
CANNES TO THE
POUND.
Licenses Have Been Due Since Au
gust 1st-Last Warning Has
Been Given.

Dog days are herein fact they
have been here for the past month and
the high-brow canine of known ped
igree to the poor little scraggley cur
of lowly origin are all in the same
class, at least "all dogs look alike
to me-" declared Chief of Police Grant
Robbins today when listlessly glanc-
ing down Main street where CANNES
of various breed and color were am
bling unmolested along the thorough
fare, he concluded that the license tag
must be in evidence.
With only few more days left in
which to secure their license tags,
owners need not be surprised if the
pride and joy of the household does
not return promptly for its daily
bread, for he may be found in the
city pound.
The city authorities have waited
patiently for the owners of dogs to
secure the annual license tag, the Ii
cense having become due August L.
Failure to adorn said dog with the
proper credentials before the first of
September will suffer the humiliation
of seeking the whereabouts of the
city pound. Be sure and get your
license and save your dog from official
wrath.

CHOOSE LOS ANGELES MAN
Democrats Picking Strong Man to
Contest Johnson as Governor of
California.

WASHINGTON, Aug 23.-Tim Spell
Washington end of the California de-
mocracy to be the primary choice to
contest the governorship with Hiram
johnson next year. Spellacy can af-
ford to make the run, he is considered
strong with the people at the south
who habitually roll up big majorities
for the progressives, and he is expected
to retain in the north the leadership
of his ticket scored at the polls in 1910.
That Governor Johnson will be NOM
mated is the opinion of Representa-
tives Stephens, Bell and Nolan, pro-
gressives, and indeed the whole Cal
ifornia delegation here. Rep. Know
land, regular republican who at one
time hoped to succeed Senator Per-
kins, admits that the chances are all
in favor of the reelection of the john
son ticket. Representative Curry is
the only dissenter from this view, al
though the democrats won't talk about
it.
Representative Raker believes that
the only possible chance of defeating
Johnson is through an alliance of the
Taft republicans with the democrats,
such as occurred last year. In that
Spellacy is considered the most avail
able nominee. Fred Hall of Bakers
field will be opposed by the labor inter-
est, and J. B. Curtin is not taken SER
iously. Bell is permanently out of the
running. J. B. Davis, newly installed
as collector at San Francisco, would
not eccept the responsibility of beat
ing the governor. So Spellacy seems
to be marked for the job.

LEAGUE GAME
DRAWS ATTENTION
PROMINENT DEARY MAN WANTS
TEN TICKETS If WHITE
SOX COME.
Secretary Burke OF the Chamber OF
COmerce Besieged With Requests
for Reservations.

Save me ten 81 tickets for the game
between the White Sox and Giants if
they come" was the message received
by Secretary Burke of the chamber of
commerce from F. C. MCGOWAN, that
enterprising and hustling business
man of Deary. This is but one of the
requests for reservations that have
been flowing into the office of the sec
retary since the Star-Mirror announc-
ed that the local organization has
been endeavoring to secure an en-
gagement of the big league teams in
Moscow during its fall tour.
Secretary Burke took the matter up
with the Northern Pacific officials at
st. Paul direct in order to get quick
action Thus far he has not received
a reply but present indications point
to securing some definite answer with
in the next day or two.
The Northern Pacific is arranging
the itinerary for the big league teams
and the demands for games in the
northwest are flowing into the general
offices. 1t is believed that Moscow will
be able to secure a date for game
owing to it's most desirable geogra-
phical location together with the fact
that the University of Idaho with
strong enrolment is located here.
While it is not definitely known un-
der what terms a game could be Sc
cured here, it is understood that a
guarantee of $1,000 in admissions is
required and there seems now that
it would be comparatively easy to Of
fer such a guarantee. The matter
viii reach some definite conclusions
within a short time.

pleted tomorrow.

TAX SALE DEED
IS SET ASIDE
MAN REGAINS TITLE
TO FARM LAND IN LATAH
COUNTY.
Judge Steele Holds That Tax Sale
Proceedings We're Faulty and Tax
Title Buyer Is Let Down.

That the tax sale certificates issued
by the county assessor on July IL,
1911 to H. N. Gray of Potlatch con-
veying to him valuable tract of land
on Fix Ridge near Genesee owned by
John NJ Fix of Lewiston were null
and void and therefore transferred no
title whatever to the land in quest
ton was the decree issued on August
20 by Judge Edgar c. Steel of the dis
trict court.
The land in question has been un-
der dispute for the past two years
and the decision rendered has finally
quieted title in Fix. the original own
er. !.
1t appears that the taxes on the
land had been permitted to become
delinquent previous TO 1911 and that
Fix had not been notified of the fact
by the assessor and knew nothing of
the back taxes until his attention was
called to the matter by the attempted
tax sale. He had written, it appears,
to the assessor each year for state
ment of the amount of taxes on his
various holdings in Latah county and
had always been prompt in his pay
ments But through mistake on the
part of the county assessor the taxes
due on the Fix Ridge property were
not included in the statement submit
ted to Fix and he had no means OF
learning of the resulting delinquency.
The land to which title was quieted
in the action which just closed is said
to be very valuable.
The plaintiff, John M. Fix, was
represented by Attorneys Miles S.
Johnson and George Pickett while
James E. Babb representing the de-
fendant.

DEATH COMES
TO PUGILIST
"BULL" YOUNG, KNOCKED OUT
LAST NIGHT, COUNTED OUT
FOR GOOD.
All Concerned in the Promotion of the
Fight Have Been Arrested Charged
With Manslaughter.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23.-After ling
fering all night following the operation
necessitated from the blow of the
gloved fist of Jess Willard in the Yer
non arena, John Bull" Young, the
Wyoming heavyweight, died at the
Clara Barton hospital this morning at
$3.50.
Sheriff Hammel Immediately order
ed the arrest of Willard, Referee Ey-
ton, Promoter McCarey, Managers
Harry Gilmore and Tom Jones, two
fighters, and the seconds of both men,
Early Rogers, attorney for the Nc
Carey club, was notified by Sheriff
Hammel to gather the principals at
his office and submit to arrest. They
quickly assembled at the sheriff's Of
flee where it was announced that a
blanket charge of manslaughter would
be lodged against all concerned.
Head Hit Floor.
DR.. Scroggs, the club physician, said
he had examined Young carefully be-
fore the fight and that he was in per-
feet physical condition. He ventured
the opinion that Young's injuries
were received when his head struck
the floor in the ring and was not due
to the blow from Willard which knock
ed Young out in the eleventh round
from fearful right uppercut to the
chin. Willard declared today that the
blow which followed Young was much
lighter than many delivered earlier in
the contest.
Battle a Farce.
The battle last night in Vernon
arena was a farce until the last
round. Early in the fight Willard cut
Young's face to ribbons. The eleventh
had scarcely begun when Willard
snapped home the first telling blow
of the bout, left to the jaw. An in
stant later his right shot up, and
Young went into the land of dreams.
Pelky Quits the Game.
Arthur Pelky, who had an experience
recently of the same kind in Canada,
will probably cancel the match sch
eduled with Charley Miller at San
Francisco next month. He may re-
tire from the ring as result of the
death of Young, is the prediction made
by friends after stating that the big
heavyweight champion was complete
ly unneryed.

denial Of the reports that John Lind,
personal representative of President
Wilson at Mexico City, was assassinat-
ed at the Mexican capital was rece1v-
ed at the state department today from

rived Secretary Of State Bryan gave
out the following statement:
"Received absolutely no report or
intimati0n that harm has come to

lieye the reports true"

here early this morning to the effect
that John Lind had been assassinated
at Mexico City. No attempt was
made In the reports to indicate how
the American was supposed to have
met death. The report came in con-
nection with the assassination of

Mexico.
1t was reported that the Mexican
capital was boiling with anti-Ameri-
can sentiment and that the plan to
put Lind out of the way was pre-
mediated affair Officials here gave
no credence to the report and all re-
fused to pay attention to it.
Lind Still Reporting.
Despite the reassuring messages re-
ceived from John Lind, the president
continued preparing his message to
congress. He is determined to give
the country the facts in the situation
regardless of any overtures that Pres
ident Huerta may make.
1t is learned here that Huerta is
trying to borrow money through Paris
bankers.

PEAR CROP MUST
BE PICKED EARLY
DEPUTY STATE HORTICULTURIST
FOR LATAH GIVES OUT
WARMING.
Local Packing Plant VIII Begin Opera
tiOns During the Coming
Week.

That the experience of last year
should cause every fruit grower in
the county to take extra precautions
this season to pick his pear crop much
earlier than it was harvested year
ago was the statement made today by
Deputy State Horticulture Inspector
Clifford Edmundson.
Last year." said Mr.. Edmundson,
practically the entire pear crop in
this county was gathered from one to
two weeks too late and not more than
two cars of the fruit that was shipped
from here were received by the con-
sigees. The pears appeared sound
when they left Moscow but failed to
stand shipment for no other reason
than that they were harvested too
late"

izen but that Canada does not want to
surrender him without protection,
Harry K. Thaw was today told by the
Canadian authorities that he must
decide for himself whether he will
stay in Canada or be deported to
Vermont.
Despite his appeal to the British
sense for fair play the fugitive was
bluntly told that he was an unwelcome
guest and that if he wanted to go to
Vermont the Canadian authorities
would help him get there.

This means that the New York au-

When to Pick Pears.

In general, said Mr.. EdmundSon, con-
ditions are such in Latah county that
the proper season for picking the pear
crop comes from August % to Sep
tember 5. Last year scarcely any
pears were picked until much later
date.
THE pears were held back" said
Mr.. Edmundson, "the first of this sea-
son during the continued rains and
cold weather but they have filled
wonderfully in the past two or three
weeks and will come on at about the
same time as usual"
Mr. Edmundson has been over the
entire county recently and states that
the pears in all sections are of splend-
id quality but that the crop will be
much below normal in quantity, many
orchards bearing not more than half
a crop. About the only orchard, he
said, that will produce anywhere near
a full yield this fall is that of G. +.
Mix about a mile and half north
west of the city. This orchard lnclud-
ing Is acres will produce about two
thirds of a crop. "In most instances
stated Mr.. Edmundson, "the shortage
in the pear crop this year is due in
large part to the extra yield OF last
season, the trees being permitted last
year to bear much heavier crops than
they should have carried"
Local Packing Plant
The local packing plant is preparing
to start operations about the last OF
next week and is planning to ship
the crop much earlier than it did
year ago.
The new canning plant at Juliaetta,
said Mr.. Edmundson, will be crowded
to it's utmost capacity this year in
handling the tomato crop which is
the best in the section that it has
been for years. All other fruit from
the Juliaetta country will be shipped
