A very important civil case was
tried in Judge Sohulte's court Tues
day. The title of the case was E. NJ.
Bowen vs.. The Chicago. Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway company. The
case Is important, not so much ftom
the amount 10 controversy, which is
only fity five dollars, but because OF
the princinles of law involved.
Bowen was ia the employ of the
railroad company and was dis
charged The railroad company has

time all employees are paid, but all
claims for labor have to pass througl

This rule Is understood by all Of th
employees OF the company.
Under this rule Bowen Was obilgel
to wait 22 days after his discharg

Game Warden
Has Busy Time
THREE ARRESTS FOR ILLEGAL FISHING
Aliens Must Have NONRESIDENT LiCenSeS=-Time
In State Does Not Count

Deputy Game Warden r. O. West
of Moscow. has been in this city for
several days Saturday evening he
arrested a bunch nf Italians who had
been fishing on resident licenses.
MIR. West stated that these licenses
we're no protection aud that they
would have to take out non resident
licenses II they wished to fish.
These men all CHANGED TO have re-
sided In the state from one to three
years, but they we're aliens aud the
game warden held that only citizens
of the state we're entitled to resident
licenses aud accordingly had the men
fined. One example was enough, and
Monday the mem hers of the Italian
colony we're fairly tumbllug over
each other In their rush to get their
residnet licenses changed for non res
ideut.
Mr.. West had been informed that
there was considerable illegal fishing
in Benwah lake aud along the river
and so he got DR.. Briggs to take him
down there In his launch. The trip
WAS successful, three arrests being
made.
Those apprehended we're Adelher'
Rector, b. l.. Geer and A. Bovee.
Bovee plead guilty aud paid fine OF
ten dollars and costs.
Rector objected seriously to heins
arrested. He, with Geer, was IN
boat Just ready to pull out when the
game warden came up and put then
under arrest. Rector began to sweai
horribly and said that - son o.
of a game warden WIS going t'
arrest him and showed the boat of
with his paddle. West leaped init
the water after them, grabbed th'
boat and pulled it ashore, at the SAM
time ordering Rector to surrende
and come out of the boat. lie refus
ed and continued his profanity ant
WAS finally pulled out.
He committed no other acts of re
distance except refusing to com
along, but the profanity and abus
which he heaped on the officer wa
fearful to contemplate.
The men we're finally brought {
this city and taken before Judg
Schultz, where they gave bail fo
their appearance July 9th for trial
Rector's bail was Axod at thirty dol
lars aud Geer's twenty. Rector pr
up cash bail for both aud they wei
allowed to depart.
West WAS pretty sore over his trea
ment by Rector aud threatened
lodge a charge OF resisting an Office
against him, but go far has taken d
steps to do so.

around Bowen received and accepted
the money due him for the time he
had actually worked and nothing was
said by either party about the %
days which he had been obliged to
wait for his pay. This aoliou YVES
brought to recover $4,000, the
amount which he would have earned
ln the % days between the time he
was discharged and the time that be
was paid Oft,
There was no controversy as to the
facts 10 the case The company
claimed first that the law WAS uncon-
stltutinal, but no stress WIS laid up
on this point. as the court has not
jurisdiction to pass upon the oonstitu-
tionality of the law. The second
contention of the company and the
one that particular stress was laid
upon, was that as Bowen went to
work for the company with full
knowledge of its rules Ia regard to
the Time OF pay that became a part of
the contract of hire and that there
fore the law did not apply and that
even If the law did apply he had
waived his right by accepting the
wages due him a. a settlement and
making no demand at the time for
the amount that would be due him
for the % days lost time.

Band Fails TO Go
TO FeTnWOOd

Could Not Be Made

At meeting held Monday evening
by the band boys, members o. tie st
Maries city band it was decided THAI
the band would not go to Fernwood

at that place. The deal with the

completed excepting that the band
felt that they could not play all day

offered by those in charge of the
Fernwood celebration. It was thought
at that time that the business men of
this city who we're pushing the get
ting of a large delegation of local
people to visit the celebration at
that place would pay the balance on
what was wanted by the band for
playing on that day. They received
the assurance of some Of the business
men Of the city that this would be
done as it is the purpose of the citi-
zens of this city to cement the friend
ship of the Fernwood people even at
a cost to themselves. DurinA the last
week, the band boys have become
doubtful of the ability Of rhe local
people to get a large enough crowd tC
go from here TO pay. both the exour-
sion rate on the railroad and the ex
ira portion of their salary that would
not be paid by the Fernwood people

Prepare For
The Fair
MEETING OF DIRECTORS
Secretary John Chambers TO Devote
Entire Time 70 Work

ne directors of the st. Joe-St.
Maries Valley Fair association, held
a meeting Monday evening at the law
office Of Hull & Taylor, to outline
the work of preparing for the three
day fair which the association will
hold about the middle of September
Although the night was stormy,
several of the directors who are
ranchers residing out of town we're
on hand to meet their fellow mem
oers, which is proof positive that the
ran yhers, at least, appreciate the BEN
eag that the fair of last year was to
fthem and this entire locality aud are
anxious to make the one this year
even a greater suocess.
Ihe meeting was presided over by
f. Trummel, the president of ths as
ISOLATION, and the entire status of the
association ,was discussed in an in
formal manner. Like all other i'm
portant undertakings. the one thing
that seems to be needed TO itsur'
: success Is money and of that there
seems to be a woeful lack. Ways auC
means of procuring it was the princi
pal topic of discussion.
So far but very little stock of th,
association has been sold, the direct
ros having one and all been too bus.
with their own affairs to give thi
any attention. AS this is PRACTICAL,
the only means for raising the amour
necessary to procure grounds and pu
up the buildings it was apparent tha
some one must get busy at once an
dispose Of all the sotok possible.
The unanimous opinion of the dl
rectors was that the seer tary, job
Cham bers. was the best man 10 d
this He has been a hustler for th
fair ever since its inception over
year ago and has been a oonslster
booster for It at all times aud IN al
places. He has the matter very muc
g &C heart and it was felt that he coul
do more than any other one man
9 insure its success. At the same tin
s it was felt that he could not be aske
T to devote his time to the propositic
without compensation, asd it wi
e take at least all OF one mans time
d do all that has to be done to ha'
II everything ready by the time q
fair ls to be held.
An agreement Was finally enter

is to devote his entire time. frc
