T. Jensen Of Firth, Charged With
Offense Almost Trecoism

The people of Firth were shocked
at the evidence of the moral degen-
eracy of J. T. Jensen recently. Mr..
Jensen has for number OF years
been a resident of that community,
holding various precinct offices, con-
Quoting a blacksmith shop, and other
wise taking an active part in life.
Within the last few weeks rumors of
misconduct on his part have been
afloat and evidence of his perversion
was secured, when several children
ranging in years from three to seven
told of various acts. Sheriff Jones
was notified several days ago, and
commenced an investigation which
resulted in the arrest of Jensen Mon
day morning at Idaho Falls. The
prisoner was brought to this city by
auto and was given trial in Pro-
bate Judge Jensen's court Immediately.
He was charged with a misdemeanor,
the only charge under the statutes OF
the state, with which he could be
charged and fined $4,000 and given
six months in Jail. The jail sentence
was suspended, allowing the defendant
to leave the country, without the ex-
pense of the county's boarding him.
Jensen was justice of the peace
and up to the time of his arrest
was considered one of the most up
right citizens of the community. He
pleaded guilty to the charge, stating
that he was innocent but that he
could not prove it. This did not suit
Judge Jensen and he informed the
prisoner that he would be compelled
to plead guilty without any contin-
ge9cxu11 n4s the man diid--with the
Inc imposed as stated heretofore.

A Well Pleased Public

No improvement in public service
has met with such great amount of
public commentator as has the ac-
tion Of the American Express COMPANY
in putting on a free delivery wa06,
one that delivers throughout thafcity
parcels of every description an1 calls
for express matter for the OF going
trains. The citizens of BlaQkfoot are
not yet educated up to the aet shat
they can call the express 16ffice by
phone, have the wagon sIht to their
home or place of businesa and have
taken a package which thfy want to
send away, but such is the lease. Agent
Evans is desirous of rendering every
convenience to the people this par
ticular and as long as the wagon is
here for that purpose tn citizens
should avail themselves of this par.
ticular improvement.

'TREGO INDICATED
BY HIMSELF

Byrd Trego, against whom a verdict
OF guilty Of statutory offense was re-
turned by a jury Of twelve of the
representative citizens of Bingham
county comes out in the issue of the
Idaho Republican last week with an
article, the caption of which is Con
victcd by Prejudice and states that
the verdict returned was the result
OF prejudice which was worked up by
personal enemies, who worked dill
gently to inflame the public mind. The
article states that strong features Of
the evidence such as would ordinarily
cause thoughtful people to reserve
their Judgment were thrown to the
winds. The gentleman probably refers
to the testimony Of the defense's wit.
nesses who testified.
Take for example the testimony of
the Mortons. Mrs. Morton stated
that Nellie Ray had gone to school
to her for nine weeks five years ago
Before this testimony was introduced
the Mortons were seen around the
court house and Nellie Ray, in the
presence of about seven people was
asked by County Superintendent Beach
whether she (Nellie) knew them or
not and the girl after watching them
closely at close range, said mo. /
never saw them before. If they are
relatives of Trego's they have never
been at the house. since l have been
there" This statement was not testi-
mony in the trial but came from the
complaining witness in answer to a
question asked in the county super
intendent's office during the progress
OF the trial. There is hardly grown
person who cannot remember the
teachers under whom they have 49,
tended school during their enAt94 life
To show the weight of the testimony
OF the MOrtOns it was stricken o0t of
the evidence. The Republican states
that the defendant was convicted hole
ly upon the uncorroberated evidence
of the prosecutrix whose testimony
stands without any other SUPPORT
and against the testimony
OF the defendant and his wife, nhe

The various varieties of "byrds" in
Blackfoot are having their troubles, it
would seem. Last Saturday Vernon
Bird was arrested for being the cause
Of Frank Willis, an Indian, getting
outside Of several drains of the red.
1t seems that Mr.. Bird in fit of gen.
erosity, slipped Willis a little of the
juice, the chemical analysis of which
has not been fathomed up till yet.
Willis was pinched for fighting and
told where he secured the nervina that
made him the best broncho fighter
this far north while it lasted. Bird
was released upon $4,000 bond. Com
missioner Turner was phoned to by
Sheriff Jones In an endeavOr to ascer-
tain what the former wanted to do
in the case.

Autos In The Park

Mayor Turner yesterday received
letter from Representative Addison
T. Smith at Washington, announcing
that at last permission has been grant
ed for ae limited use Of Yellowstone
national park by automobiles. Under
certain restrictions all three entrances
can be used, but it will be impossible
at present to make q motor trip en-
tirely through the park; Permission
is granted, according to Congress-
man Smith, to autos to use the west
ern entrance from Yellowstone sta
tion on the Short Line, to the Thumb
lunch station on Lake Yellowstone.
The entrance from Cody and the
northern entrance from Gardiner are
also opened for q short distance into
the park.-Pocatello Tribune.

LOWER MAINTENANCE FEE
OF FORT HALL PROJECT
Engineer In Charge Decides One DOL
lar ls Too Hish-Senator Brady on
Job.

For several years one dollar per
acre has been arbitrarily charged the
land owners on the Fort Hall Indian
reservation by the government, as
maintenance fees for water, while 40
cents per acre is hte sum recommend
ed by the government engineer now
on the ground, in a letter to w. p.
Havenor. secretary of the Pocatello
Water Users association.
The only reason to be ascertained
at this time why this excessive price
has been charged each year is because
the same amount was charged the
year previous.
These are facts presented to the
commissioner of Indian affairs b,
senator Brady In a vigorous appeal
1or immediate relief for these settlers.
Senator Brady contends that the
$2o,oOO appropriated for maintenal
In 1913, for the $4,000 acres will be
ample maintenance of the entire
TEN, and that If this amount is
pended for maintenance only there
will likely be large surplus left of
the $4,000. This being the case since
the white men have only 10000 acres
of the $4,000 it gives the Indians the
advantage In the matter when the Az
cents per acre is collected from the
white men
The fact that an adjustment meant
much to the people of this locality
was impressed upon the commissioner
by Senator Brady, he stated that Il
canal had not been completed in I
manner that it should have been,
that the settlers are in need of imme-
diate relief. They have planted their
crops, and the ruling Of the depart
ment is that water shall not be turned
in until the maintenance is paid and
in many instances their crops are now
suffering for want of water. The SEN
ator insisted it would be nothing but
simple justice that the proper officials
be communicated with by wire and
instructed to give the relief recon-
mended.-POcatelo Tribune

Certainly Was Not For Tres

s-uIn the account of the Trego I trial
published in this paper last weeA we
stated that Miss Alice Beach, county
superintendent of schools, was called
by the defense. This was a mistake
Miss Beach being called for the pro-
secution and made the best witness
for that side that could have been
secured in that her testimony proved
the criminal intimacy Of the defendant
with the girl. Miss Beach desires that
all people in the state be informed Of
this mistake as she does not wish
to be identified in any way with the
Trego family.

FIRST MARKET DAY
BRILLIANT SUCCESS

The first Market Day in Blachoot,
held last Saturday, June 14th, was a
decided success from every view point.
The streets were crowded with buyers
special bargains put on by the local
merchants attracted the attention and
money Of the public, the greatest re-
turns were given all those putting
forth an effort to attract attention to
their merchandise and Dame Nature as
sisted by giving one Of the most per-
feet summer days Of the year. With
out exception the merchants endorse
the efforts Of the Blackfoot Optimist
in this initial step toward getting the
buyer and seller together. The fol-
speak for themselves the question
asked by the manager Of the Optimist
being, what did you think Of tradins
day."
d. H. Biethan-"It was q happy
thought and brought in trake that
took advantage of the bargains we
offered and buyers received good val
ues.''
Charles Hart, of Brown-Hart-"We
had a better day than We thought pos
sible. The bargains we offered were
cleaned up and people appreciated the
fact that they could trade cheaper at
home than abroad"
Mac Cosham &Co.-"There was a
constant stream of people spending
their money with us all day, and you
are to be commended upon the idea
Of holding a market day"
N. E. Montgomery-"My sales ran
high and a noticeable thing was that
the farmers made work at my auction
sale easy, by bringing in articles to be
sold that were in demand, without me
going out after goods
Farmers throughout the country ex-
pressed their opinion that they had a
better time than they had had in
months. 1t was a pleasant innovation
for all Of them. The wild west show,
base ball game and general attraction
incident to the activity which prevailed
gave the visitors enjoyment entirely
different from the ordinary rotine of
Saturday trading.
The next big day in Blackfoot will
be the Fourth of July celebratlo.
Another market day will be held dul
ing the month of July, at which IT,
q number of special features win
put on. Watch this paper for t.
