TROUBLE OVER
THE GAME LAW
AlonEo Osborne, of Copeland, Arrested
For Hunting Without License
Charged With Stealing Deer
SAY CHARGES BASED ON SPITE
Claim Osborne Has Licence at Home
Investigation

Considerable excitement was
stirred up this week in the Cope
land neighDorhood over the arrest
on Monday of Alonzo Osborne, a
young man about 20 years old, on
the charge of hunting without a
license. Accusations of iobbery
have been made and Wednesday
evening d. l.. Oliver, deputy game
warden from Standpoint, came here
to investigate the circumstances of
the arrest.
Osborne was arrested by Gene
Montroy, deputy game warden, on
Miller creek about seven miles from
Copeland and was taken to Sand
point for a hearing Tuesday.
Friends and neighbors of Osborne
claim that he had a license at home
although he did not have it on
his person, and that the game
warden went out of his jurisdiction
in taking Osborne to Standpoint
rather than allowing him an inn
mediate hearing or a trial before
the nearest Justice of the Peace
which would have been Thomas
Maui, the Copeland postmaster.
While Osborne was in Standpoint
another warrant was made out and
served on him. This warrant waa
sworn to by Ed. V. Parker and
charged Osborne with having
stolen a deer which he had shot
The warrant charging Osborne
with hunting without a license
was not served on him until Wed
nesday.
Osborne will be given a hearing
before Justice of Peace Maui a
Copeland next Tuesday. In tn,
meantime Deputy Game Wardei
Oliver will try to ferret out jus
who is to blame in the matter an,
whether or not there was an,
reason, other than the spite worl
alleged, for the arrest of Osborne

at Standpoint by Sheriff Remer on
advices from Canadian immi-

had crossed into this country under
false pretenses.
The action was taken at the
instance of MCKENZIE creditors
who were led to believe that he
was trying to get out of Canada to
escape certain accounts. McKen-
zie came through here in ar
auto Monday. The machine i:
only partially paid for, it is al

ALFALFA SPECIAL IN STANDPOINT
Prof. Holdsn's Party Will Lecture
Wednesday, October 20

The much heralded Holden all
falfa party Is scheduled to visit
Standpoint and vicinity Wednesday,
October %. Prof. Perry Holden,
the famous Iowa agriculturalist
and his corps of a dozen expert
assistants, comprise the party, and
during their brief stay in the vicin-
ity of Standpoint will talk to the
farmers about the growing of alfal-
ia and aid them in solving their
farm problems.
The alfalfa campaign opened in
Spokane September % and until
the first of November alfalfa will
be the principal topic of discussion
in every agricultural community
of the Inland Empire, if the plans
of the Spokane Chamber of Com
merce and Prof. Holden materialize.
Prof. Holdens Inland Empire
campaign includes the visiting of
40 railroad points in a region ex-
tending over 5000 miles and ira
versed by FIVE different railroads.
Over 500 alfalfa lectures will be
delivered in a period of forty days.
Charles M. Carroll, manager in
charge of Holden's arrangements,
states that the Inland Empire cam
paign will be the most comprehen-
sive ever undertaken by the fam
Gus agriculturalist. It's extent
will be greater than all the 10 cam
paigns conducted by Professor
Holden this year, states Mr..
Carroll. We anticipate splendid
results here in the Inland Empire,
as the disposition of the people
seems open minded. The con
spicuous successes made by several
farmers who have raised alfalfa in
this section have done much to in
fluence many farmers in favor of
this plant"

Idaho's Exemption Law to be Tested

Idaho's exemption law under
which wages under SIS week are
exempt from execution will be tried
out in a peculiar feature as result
of a case which came up in probate
court at Standpoint last week. Joe
Tremblay of Priest River owed
Jaeger & Stuart of Standpoint and
w. Truett. The Standpoint firm
sued on their account for one
quarter of Tremblay's wages for
80 days. While the whole sum OF
Tremblay's wages was in the
courts hands awaiting division
Truett's attorney came in and
made an effort TO attach this
amount upon the contention that
this sum was open to attachment
regardless of the exemption law
Judge Wood held that the exemp
ton law was passed for the protec
ton of debtors and that such ,
construction as asked by Truett'
attorneys would operate to nullify
that act. The case will be takeI
