ASKED BY WIDOW FOR
DEATH OF HUSBAND

Miguel Marrutia asks $4,000 dam
ages for the death OF Antonio Barrutia
in street car wreck in South Boise
a few weeks ago. The suit was filel
in the district court yesterday after
noon by the plaintiff as administrator
of the estate of Antonio Barrutia.

Cleveland Construction company, the
Idaho Traction company George B.
Webster, Charles L. Fell and Roy Lay
shure, employees of the companies for
alleged carelessness and neglect In the
handling of the traffic over the lines
ON the day on which the wreck &C
Cured and the man was killed. The
complaint declares that the men were
careless in handling the work train;
that the cars We're defective and were
dangerous; that the equipment was
poor, and that II was dangerous for an
employe to work on the old train that
was sent out over the road.
The train at the time Barrutia MAS
killed, had stalled on the track III front
of the church in South Boise The
regular car was unable to pass. and
started to push the work train off the
track, and on to the switch. White
the train was being sidetracked. the
flat car suddenly jumped sideways
across the rails. and caught Barrntia
underneath the mass of wreckage. He
was instantly killed, and Roy Layshure,
the conductor ON the regular car, WAS
injured.
The plaintiff now claims that the ac-
cident was due TO defective car; that
the material was weak. and dangerous;
that the equipment was not in the best
repair and that the old train was in
q general run down condition. On the
strength of these statements. he bases
a claim for $4,000 for the estate and
heirs of Antonio Barrutia.

II should be noted that the registers
fees alone during the two years
amounted to over $4,000.
The general public has only a meager
knowledge of the immense volume of
business transacted by the land de-
partment. Aside from the appraise-
ments. leases and sales of enormous
acreages each year, the loaning of the
states endowment funds and the work
ing out of the manifold and intricate
details in connection with the numer-
GUS farm loans and school bond pur
chases. as above indicated 1T Is inter-
estng to note that lands are sold in
40acre units, and certificates of sale
issued accordingly, which show upon
their face the annual principal and in
terest payments for IL or Is years, as
the case may be, which certificates
pass through five different records be-

AN EXCELLENT CHOICE.

News comes from Shreveport that
ex-Gov. Newton c.. Blanchard has
been induced by his friends to an.
nounce his candidacy for delegate
from Caddo parish TO the constitu-
tienal convention which is to assem-
Die at Baton Rouge ON the 10th of
November, and that it is believed
there will be no opposition to his
election.
Caddo has set a good example in
TINS matter and the other parishes of
the state can not do better than fol-
low 1t. Former Governor Blanchard
- admirably equipped for valuable
pubic service in the approaching
convention, being thoroughly familiar
with the subject OF the state debt

Weather and Crop Notes.

The first touch Of fall weather was
experienced this week, and the adj
vent Of the cool term was welcomed
because it brought at least temporary
surcease from the continuous rains
which have deluged MS throughout the
summer ssaandays Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday were beautiful days,
the brilliant sunshine and braeing
sjzsesas IL q
Iightful season about 10 set III and III
oeulating ever bod with q spirit OF
energy and hppefulnass that presages
an era Of plenty and prosperity. The
cool spell did not last long, but what
there was Of it was muchly enjoyed
and more Of the same is hoped
for and eagerly awaited.
Field work has progressed nicely
since our last report, and prepare
lions for the grinding campaign, now
only few weeks off, are also pro-
ceeding apaee. The harvesting of
the corn crop has developed the fact
that the roseate predictions Of a
yield that would produce a big sur
plus were much too optimistic, and
instead Of having plenty of corn to
sell, most of the planters hereaWay
will barely store enough for their
own use. The peavine hay crop was
urtailed to a material extent by the
incessant rains, as has already been
told, hence the feed supply will again
be cause of considerable expense
this season, although the outlay will
perhaps be smaller than for many
years.

Merit Before Politics.

A Washington press despatch dated
Sept. II says: "'Chip' Cottrell, post
master at Princeton, N. j., President
Wilson'S home, had his first day Off
in q long time today. He used it
visiting Washington and thanked VIII
son for his appointment. Cottrell, a
Republican, was chosen for the place
from big list OF applicants, and
never knew until today just why he
was selected. The president told him
he had watched his work as assistant
postmaster at Princeton for many
years, and that the appointment was
solely the result of merit"
Professional politicians and place
hunters may not be pleased by the ac-
tion Of President Wilson in this case,
but it will receive the Endorsement of
the great mass of the people of the
country, irrespective of political
who believe the bust
ness of the government should
be conducted on the same basis a
wen regulated business of any other
kind is managed. Experience and
merit should have the call over mere
political pull and campaign hustling
always,

FINE PROSPECTS FOR THE FAIR.

FINE FhCSEECI0 Fun iF1E FAlH
The lapse of another week has
developed no unfavorable or diseour
aging circumstance in connection
with the preparations for the inter
parochial fair to be held at Donald
sonyille on October 10, IL and -
On the contrary, the prospects for
the success of the enterprise have
grown still brighter, and it would
seem that nothing short Of the most
unpropitious weather eonditions-ex-
tremely unlikely to prevail at this
season of the year-can Interfere
with the realization Of these en-
couraging representations.
1t is not to be expected, of course,
that this initial exposition of the pro-
duets of the group of parishes repre-
scented in the South Louisiana Fair
Association, will rival the displays
that are made at state fairs in Lou
isiana, Texas or elsewhere, but the
exhibits will be amply sufficient in
number and character to arouse the
interest of the people who are fortu-
nate enough to attend, and to well
repay them for the small expenditure
of time and the trifling expense in
volVed in the visit.
The advertising value of this fair
to the parishes and towns that have
united to give the exhibition, cannot
be well oyer-estimated. No means
of proving the fertility of the land,
the wide range OF agricultural avail
ability Of both soil and climate, the
excellence of the work turned out by
factories and industrial establish
ments, the advantages of any given
locality, section or town as a market
and trading centre, can compare In
with the actual group
ing together for general public in
spection and competitive examination
of the things that are raised on the
land, turned out from the workshops
and offered for sale in the stores.
Seeing is believing with the average
human being, and even the most
skeptica1 yield to the evidence of
their own senses when the objects
under discussion are set before their
eyes.
An attractive program OF public
speaking, athletic and literary con-
tests, horse races and other amuse-
ments has been prepared as auxiliary |
to the exhibits, and there will be no
ack OF interesting features for the
sdification of all the people, old, mid
ile-aged and young. Therefore all
should come to the fair.

The Thaw Case.

The Thaw case has had an inning
before the governor OF New Hamp-

to hear argument before deciding
whether or not to honor reauisi-

objection of ThaW's counsel that their
client could not be extradited unless
charged with some criminal offense,

THE sULZER IMPEACHMENT
TRIAL.

The trial Of Governor VIM. Sulzel
of New Fork on Impeachment
charges preferred by the house OF
representatives of that state, which
was begun ON the 18th instant, as
noted in last weeks Chief, is pro.
crossing slowly, and will in all like
lihood take up at least month S
time
Preliminary exceptions filed by the
governors counsel to the compost
ton Of the court of impeachment and
to the authority OF the legislature to
bring impeachment charges at a spe-
cial session called for other specified
purposes, were both overruled, and
the same fate subsequently overlook
third exception to three OF the
eight articles Of impeachment.
The purpose of the first exception
was to exclude from the court four
senators have been active in
preparing anu hing the case
against the governor and who are
themselves accused Of statutory Of
lenses in connectisn with this &C.
tiyity. The decision ON this point was
that the law makes all the members
of the state senate ex-officio mem
bers of the impea Ament court, and
there is no provision for disqualifying
any Of them.
AS to the second exception. the
court voted SIS to-1 against the con-
tention that the legislature was in
competent 10 present impeachment
articles at the extra session, the
basis Of the decision being that
while no legislation could be enact
ed at such session except as to SUBJ
jects specified in the governors call,
impeachment is not to be classed as
legislation, but is prerogative to be
exercised at will whenever the legis-
lature is duly convened and organized.
The ground upon which the de-.
Tense seeks to have three of the inn
parchment articles expunged Is that
they appertain to alleged acts COM
mitted before Mr.. Sulzer became gov
ernor and hence their commission
cannot affect his eligibility. The
prosecution contend that the mis-
behavior of a candidate for governor
is not condoned by his election, but,
on the contrary, his accountability to
the laws and the people is increased
and emphasized by his elevation to
the high station of states chief ex-
eeutive officer.
With reference to the third excep-
ton, comprised in a motion by coun-
sci for the defense to quash three ar
ticles of impeachment dealing with
The governors alleged misuse Of
campaign contributions, the court by
3 vote OF 40 to oyerruled the mo-
Ion without prejudice to it's merits,
deserving final decision thereon I'M
IL the testimony is all in.
The beginning of the trial on the
merits Of the case began at noon
Wednesday, and the testimony of the
irst two witnesses III. Schiff, |
! prominent New York banker, and
Henry Morganthau. minister to Tur-
ley-was decidedly favorable to Gov.
sulzer. Both these gentlemen made
contributions to the COVER
lor's campaign fund, Mr.. Schiff CIV
ng $4,000 and Mr.. Morganthau $1,000,
nd both declared that no restrictions
we're placed upon the use OF the
aoney-that Mr.. Sulzes was free to
aake any disposition of it he chose.
