In veldict for siOs5 in favor Of
Butler.
Butler who onws an Indian Rllot
ment on the st. Joe river was suing
the company for $1,000 damages for
the overflowing 70 his land The
case was heard by Judge Deltrioh of
the northern district of Idaho aud
was handede to thle jury at six o.
clock on Friday e,soing and they
retired to deliberate on the case.
Saturday morning they reported R
disagreement aud JudgeDeitrich then
instructed the bailiffs to take the

In Occur d Alene involving th'
right Of an Indian TO maintain Rr
action against the Washington Watch
Power company for overflow of his
land when the secretary Of the inter

lhe overflow.
II appears from the evidence tha,
Butler settled upon the act and his
allotment VISA allowed before the
secretary Of the interior granted per-
mission for the overflow but before
receiving his patent the permission
was granted The Washington Water
power claims that the secretary Of
the interior Lad authority to grant
the permit and the Indian has NJ
right to maintain an action for dam-
aResbut the plaintiff insists that his
allotment was made and the land set
aside to him that no permit of the
secretary Of the lnteii + to overflow
on the land of the Occur d. Alene
Indian reservation would divest him
of his right to the land without COM

At St. Joe

E.A. Oarscallen of the firm of Car

on his way to ST Joe to do some work
for the Milwaukee land compsy.
The company has had some trouble

Mr. Cham bers has followed the plan
of holding preliminary meetings Of
the farmers talking over the PROPOSE

squarely before them aud showing

very successful especially IN the

extremely short notice It had repre-
sentatives Of almost every large ranch
In that vicinity Emida also held q
very enthusiastic meeting over 20
ranchers being present and It was
here that the greatest amount of sup
port was given the enterprise In the

ing the number of COWS required for

ion that st Maries was the only log
iaal point Tor the creamery to be
lncated. both on account of the
geographical position which places II
as the collecting and distributing
point for the greatest possible amount
Of territory and also because the mar
ket for the creamery's output would
be better mere than elsewhere IN this

OF the audience at the meetings prom
ised that they would take stock IN

WAITING on HUERTA.
Washington Has as Yet Received no
Word From Eim.

Waiting for word from Provisional
President Huerta-this Wednesday
was the attitude Of official Washing
ton in the Mexican situation. Ad-
ministration officials still refused to
shed any light on the last communi-
cation, which conveyed to Huerta the
desire Of the United States that he
eliminate himself from the tangled
situation. Their attitude was that
public discussion Of the delicate
phases Of the problem might defeat
the ends sought.
The feeling in the national capital
is one Of tense interest as to what
course will be purchased If Gen.
Huerta declines to abdicate. 1t was
evident to those who talked with
President Wilson about the situation
that he was calmly awaiting deVel-
opments. He has told his friends
that he would continue to solve the
situation by peaceful means and
would not be disturbed by predictions
Of armed Intervention.
The belief is general that the sit
uation is being worked out with ex-
treme secrecy in diplomatic channels
and that only when some tangible
conclusion has been reached will
there be any official announcements.
There was no collective opinion in
official circles as to what Huerta's
reply to the American representations
might be. No one ventured predic-
tions, and so far as could be learned
no intimations had been received as
to Huerta's future attitude.

FAMILY OF DEGENERATES
HISTORY OF THE FAMOUS JUKEs'
CRIMINAL RECORD.
More Than 1000 Descendants Of One
Man Have Been Classified as Grim
inals, Degenerates and Dependents.

With the finding guilty OF Mrs.
Bessie ]. Wakefield Of the murder of
her husband near New Haven, Conn,
another has been added to the long
list of criminals and their victims in
the genealogical tree Of the Jukes
family. Mrs. Wakefield, the mother
of three children, was convicted OF
murder in the first degree. Evidence
showed that she and her affinity, Jas.
Plow, conspired to get rid OF Wake
field. While the wife took the chill
dren for walk, Plow drugged and
shot Wakefield.
It is Plow who is a member OF the
Jukes family, and his crime is said to
be typical Of many OF which his kins-
men have been found guilty. OF the
Jukes family, sociologists have writ
ten that their crimes were never
those which required brains or dar-
ing.
Jukes IS not familiar name, but
name used to designate the de-
scendants Of common ancestry
whose history has been traced. Back
in 1874 Richard S. Dugdale discover
ed a number of convicts in different
prisons in New York and Connecti-
cut who here related. He pursued
study Of this strain Of degeneracy
until he had traced 1900 descend
ants of a man named MAX" who was
born in 1920, OF Dutch stock.
OF these descendants in five gen.
erations it was found that one in
every four, or 80 Of the 1900, were
professional paupers. Three hundred
of the 1900 died in infancy; SO wo-
men lived lives OF notorious debauch-
cry; 400 men and women were physf-
cally wrecked by their own wicked
ness; there we're many imbeciles and
insane; seven murderers and go
habitual thieves.
In crime and pauperism, 1t was
found the five generations had cost
New York and Connecticut over ST.
100000, or more than $1,000 each,
and the cost is still going on, as the
Plow incident indicates. The entire
history Of the family shows that they
were characterized by idleness. Vul-
garity, and frequent drops into crime.
OF Max. the founder Of the house.
it is stated he took to the woods so as
not to be compelled to attend church.
There a number of congenial spirits
gathered and the camp became the
cradle Of a degenerate family.
