The new styles this season are truly
fearfuliy and wonderfully made. At
least, some of them are-the lamp
shade skirt, dyed furs, landscape wells
and the like 10 these eccentricities
has been added the collar that doesn't
fit. With no pretcnse TO tit, this neck
arrangement is one of the ugliest of
the freak fashions.
Aside from the thick wired collar the
costume pictured is one of the best
looking talleurs of the season. 1t is
made of brocaded mohair in a charm
ing shade OF plum and is trimmed With
a girdle of American Beauty satin.
The little boero coat reveals the girdle,
and the sash ends fall gracefully from
under gathered pepl,lm.

In order to prevent absolute stoppage

the regular running of the cars over the

Almost a year ago to the day, Boise

JUDGMENT FOR
THE DEFENDANT
Judge Dietrich Sustains the
Contention of Monarch &
Porter.

A Judgment for $40 96326 was given
by Judge Frank S. Dietrich of the fed
era1 district court yesterday in favor
of the defendant in the suit of Mon
arch & Porter against the Title Guar
anty d Surety company Of Scranton,
Pa.
After going into the case thoroughly
and digesting all of the facts and con-
tentions that had been adduced at the
trial and arguments of the case, the
court yesterday filed his decision and
included in that judgment for SIS
676.14 that had been before given by
the district court Of this judicial dis
trict of the state.
Among some of the items that the
court disallowed in his judgment were
$500 to James H. Hawley for legal SER
vices, s251.50 to Cavanah, Blake 4
MacLane for the same service. He
also disallowed a total of $4009.S0 for
attorneys fees. being about one-half
of the claim that had been presented
and the charges that Lad been made on
the books.
ON June s, 1905. the plaintiffs as a
construction company entered into a
contract with the government for work
on the Minidoka project and secured
from the defendant a bond to the gov
eminent in the sum of 900 for the
completion of the work. After the
construction had progressed a portion
of the way the plaintiffs became finan-
cially embarrassed and turned over the
program to the defendant to carry
through. The surety company did
carry through the contract In good
faith, as the court saw 1t, and paid bills
and handled the money of the project.
The total charges against the de-
PENDANT amounted to $164,205.09
against which were credits to the
amount of s214.16s.35. leaving a bal-
ance and judgment for $49,96326, in
Guiding the former judgment of more
than $4,000 against the plaintiffs in
the action.
