QUESTION OF ROAD

TERMlNES VALIDITY OF
ORGANIZATION.

Judge Walters had before him this
weed a matter that indirectly involved
the validity of all the good roads dis
trict in Lincoln and Gooding coun-
ties. 1t arose in the action of A.
Brinnegar against w. f. Horne the
auditor of Blaine county, to prohibit
and prevent the calling of an election
at Fairfield, in that county, for the
creation of a good roads district.
The plaintiff asserted that the so
signers should represent 10000 acres
of land. Judge Walters held that the
law only required the district to com
prise not less than 10000 acres.
w. A. Broadhead and r. M. Angel,
HALEY lawyers, represented the par
ties to the action. Deputy Clerk Nc
Cloud Of HALEY and Engineer Cup

DISPUTED OVER
AMOUNT OF WAGES
LED TO KILLING IN LOST RIVER
VALLEY-PRiSONER CLAIMS
SELF DEFENSE.

Deputy Sheriff L. S. Justus OF
elaine county and Richard Angel,
prosecuting attorney. arrived in Sho-
shone last Saturday evening with
Peter Mcconnell, who killed a man
named Williams. in Lost River val
! ley, a few days ago. Mcconnell was
given a preliminary examination last
Friday and was bound over for trial
in the district court on the charge
of murder in the first degree. The
stories in regard to the killing are
very conflicting, Williams family and
friends contending that the murder
was premeditated and unprovoked
while Mcconnell states that he killed
Williams in self defense while Will
liams was attempting to assault him
with a pick.
While in Shoshone the officers kept
a close watch over Mcconnell as they
did not wish to run any risk of losing
their prisoner. They had with them
high power calibre Winchester
rifle with which Mcconnell shot Will
liamys. Williams was a farmer of
considerable prominence and means,
and had lived in the Lost River val
ley with his family for number of
years. Mcconnell had come to Idaho
from Kansas. a year or so ago and
was employed by Williams for about
eight or nine months before quitting
work for him sometime ago. AT the
time that he quit there was a dis
pute over the amount of wages that
Mcconnell was TO have received while |
in Williams employment and it was
this dispute that finally led up to the |
death of Williams. Chase Clark of \
Mackey is the attorney employed by !
to conduct his defense.

BONDS OF $4,000 VOTED AT
ELECTION, 1o7 TO 43-THs
LEAD OF SHOSHONE.
ROAD EXPERTS or LINCOLN
Edward S. Smith, Joe Vernon and
Joe Wheeler, Who Gained Fame
in Public Service Here.

Fifty thousand dollars will be de-
voted to road Improvement in Dietrich
highway district. according to the
determination of the voters of that
district as expressed in the election
last Saturday. The vote was 107 FOR
and 43 against the proposition.
AS soon as the proceeds Of the
bond issue can be realized upon the
work of improving the Dietrich roads
will proceed along the lines as be-
gun a year ago in the Shoshone high
way district, which pioneered the way
to make good roads. In Shoshone a
bond issue of $4,000 was authorized
by the vote of the district and the
road making here has been the model
for undertakings of the sort in many
other localities.
Shoshone's lead was followed by
Richfeld highway district which
voted $4,000 bonds and now comes
Dietrich with a similar amount Other
localities embraced within the Sho-
~shone zone of highway improvement
took the tip from us and have under
way systematic road building. The
Falls City district is improving roads
without resort to bond issues but
they are at work energeticalIy on the
problem. Falls City lies within Lin
coin county. There has been likewise
a bond issued in Gooding county to
the amount of $4,000, in what was
lately a part of the territory of Lin
Gooding county is moving with the
right spirit in the same direction.
1t should be said that Edward S. |
Smith, who has been chosen engin-
eer of the State highway system. is |
a Lincoln county road builder, and |
made his reputation in the construc-
ton of the grade at Shoshone Falls
and several bridges that span the
Snake river within the bounds of this
county as existing before the recent
county division. Mr. Smith will lave

another Lincoln county road builder
is Joe Wheeler who had charge of
the Shoshone road making as super
intendent and Mr.. Wheeler has been
transferred to the services of the
state as inspector of contract work
to be undertaken.
Still another Lincoln county road
expert is Joe Vernon. who has charge
Of the Bliss highway district with a
large force of men under him.

POLICE SHOOT
AT TWO MEN
CONTINUED from Page one,


Block avenue. Believing that the cir
cumstance might betoken robbery ne
started to investigate and it was not
long before he discovered a bundle of
clothes in the alley back of the store.
The officer took the clothes to the po-
lice station and found that 1T contain
ed nineteen pairs of trousers and three
vests He watched until daylight for
the return of the robbers, to claim
their booty, but wgas disappointed.
In the morning Sergeant Frank
Barker and OFFICER Kasimir went to
work on the case and they found an
other bundle of clothing in the rear of
the city bath house over on the lake
front, hidden under box. This con-
tanned sixteen pairs of trousers, which
were tied up in an old coat presumably
the coat of one of the thieves The
bundle was taken to the station and n
decoy placed where the loot had been
found. and the officers watched from
a house nearby for some one to come
and clean this package. At about 4
o'clock their vigil was rewarded by
the appearance of the two Greeks, who
appeared in Michigan avenue and head
ed straight for the place where the
decoy package was hidden. The Off
GERS came out of hiding TIM and as soon
as the two men saw them, they ran.
This was tn sigma flor the fussilade of
shots which startled residents of the
lake front and vicinity and which re-
suited in the arrest of the two men.
Thus far the police have been unable
to wiring confession from the Greeks,
