THOUGHT TO BE INSANE
Stranger Asks Relief and Medical
Care From Officials.

| Presenting an indigency affidavit to
which he had previously sworn in the
office of the county auditor F. o. Lam
| ber made application at late hour
yesterday evening to Chief of Police
Grant Robbins for assistance. He de-
clared in the affidavit that he was
absolutely destitute having no proper
| ty, no money and means of winning
livlihood. He imagined, further
more, that he was suffering physical
pain for want of surgical operation.
For the want of a better lodging
Lanber was allowed to sleep during
the night at the city jail and was ta-
ken this morning to DR.. Clarke's Of
flee for a physical examination. Moth
ing extraordinary appeared to be
wrong with the man so far as his
physical condition was concerned and
he was taken to the county poor farm
for few days to await further atten-
ton on the part of the county offic-
ials. His actions will be closely noted
and it is thought probable that he will
be committed to the asylum at Oro-
fino within a short time.
Lanber declares that he came to
Moscow directly from the harvest
fields a few miles from here and that
before working in harvest he had been
employed for some time by the Pot
latch Lumber company at their Bovill
mill He is about 80 years of age
and appears to be in good health. His
clothes were those of an ordinary
working man and his appearance was
not entirely untidy. His speech would
indicate that he is of Scandinavian
birth.

SELLING MORTGAGED PROPERTY
Court Holds That ChatteI Obligations
Must be Satisfied Before Releases
Issued.

Judge Steele in the district court
has refused to cancel or set aside q
deed to land in Lewis county until the
defendant has been amply reimbursed
for both chattel and real mortgages
given by a plaintiff in a case from
Lewis county entitled William H.
Campbell versus Bank of Vollmer, the
decision being in favor of the defend
ant.
The suit involved the migration of
livestock that chatte1 mortgage COW
cred in favor of the bank, from Lewis
to Nez Perce county, the bank giving
permission for removal of a part of
such property with the understanding
that money received from the sale of
the animals should be applied on the
chattel mortgage. Subsequently plain
tiff sold the cattle at Leland but re-
fused to make returns to the bank
with the result that plaintiff was ar
rested. A settlement was reached
when plaintiff gave bank deed to GER
tain land. In exchange the bank turn
ed over the balance of the horses held
under chattel.
The plaintiff later sought to have the
deed to the lands set aside on the
grounds that it was secured under
durance. The court finds no undue in
fluence in the transaction and has re-
fused to award to plaintiff.

WAR SCARE HAS
NOW DIED DOWN
ALL is QUIET IN MEXICO CITY
AND LIND IS
SAFE.
Appears to be Better Understanding
Between Uncle Sam and the Huerta
Government.

WASHINGTON Aug. 12.-Direct re-
ports from John Lind and Nelson
O'Shaughnessy that affairs in Mex
ico City are quiet, is the encouraging
news received at the state department
today. Despite reports to the con-
trary, John Lind, it is understood, has
made no positive prediction regarding
the ultimate outcome of his mission
The state department declared this
morning that 1t is making real pro-
gress in reaching an understanding
with Mexico and that the tension has
been much lessened and that there is
no longer any danger to John Lind
the presidents emissary.
The president is closely informed
on the conditions by Lind, whose
status in Mexico will be officially ex-
planned by Charge O'Shaughnessy in
a scheduled interview with Foreign
Minister Gamboa, who has just arrived
in Mexico City.

IN FAVOR OF DEFENDANTS
Judge Steele Hands Down Decision in
an Idaho County Case.

In a decision just handed down by
District Judge E. c. Steele in a case
from Idaho county entitled Eta Deer
ing versus j. w. Hockersmith and
Grangeville savings and trust compa-
n.y. the court finds that the evidence
submitted at the trial does not show
trust agreement by the defendant
bank with relation to check for 5000
that had been made out to defendant
Hockersmith and handed to defendant
bank.
In the suit the claim was held out
that the plaintiff had given the check
to a bank officer with explicit instruc-
tions that the money was for the pur-
pose of paying off a mortgage. The
money was transferred to the account
of Hockersmith who subsequently be-
came insolvent. The court finds in
favor of the defendants. The suit is an
old one having been in the courts OF
Idaho county for long period.

WOULD HAVE LECTURES
ShOshOne County Superintendent Con-
fers With University
Head.

Miss Florence Zumhof, county school
superintendent in Shoshone county,
who has been visiting in Moscow for
the past week is making arrangements
whereby a number of lectures from
the university faculty can be secured
to assist her in conducting the annual
teachers institute in Shoshone county
during the latter part of October. 1t
is probable that four or five members
of the varsity faculty can be secured
at that time for several lectures,
though no definite arrangements have
yet been made.

LEWISTON BRIDGE TROUBLES
NAV Have to Wait Two Years Before
Free Bridge Possible.

OLYMPIA, Wn., Aug. 12.- The
transfer of the Lewiston-C Charleston
bridge from the present company own
ing it to the states of Washington and
Idaho may be delayed two years be-
cause of the latter states having
wished" the structure onto the city
|of Lewiston.
The question is, can the state OF
Washington, a sovereign state, enter
into a contract with Lewiston, mu-
nicipality of Idaho, or can the city of
Lewiston, under the laws of Idaho, en-
ter into an agreement with a suver-
eign state, Washington. If not the
bridge can not be taken over until
the legislatures of the two states meet
in 1915.
Washington's half of the question
has been referred to the attorney gen.
erals office, who has written to Boise
to learn the exact status of the owner
ship of the Idaho half of the bridge.
A 1913 law of Washington allows
this state to contract with city of
this state to build a bridge over a
river that is or is not boundary line
between two states, and may be in
terpreted to allow it to contract like
wise with city of another state.

KANSAS PEOPLE
MUCH PLEASED
MANY IMMIGRANTS FROM CORN
BELT FLOCK INTO
MOSCOW.
Like the Country and are Arranging to
Find Suitable Locations In this
Section.

That the Palouse country speaks fol
itself and needs no booming was a
statement made this morning by one
of the 81 immigrants who arrived in
Moscow the latter part of last week
from 'Zuric, Kansas in search of new
homes and better country. They
have been busy for the past few days
looking over the country and are great
ly pleased with their findings.
They left their corn fields shrivling
under sun that has ranged for the
past month between the temperatures
of los to 112 degrees in the shade,
grain wilted to the ground for the
want of moisture and stock starving
by the dozens with hay selling at $24
per ton. No wonder, then, that the
Palouse country with its harvests COM
ing on with record yeields, it's heavy
fruit crops and its cool temperature
has entranced the new corners.
The land in the vicinity of Zuric,
Kansas, stated one of the new arrivals,
has decreased in value during the past
year from SIS to $25 per acre. He
predicts, furthermore, that in the
course of another year or two it Will
be worth practically nothing.
Most of the 27 new comers are plan
ming to locate in the vicinity of Mos
COW if they can find land that is avail
able. None of them will return to Kan
sas.

TESTIMONY IS RACY
SATISFIES THE CURIOUS
DIGGS WHITE SLAVERY TRIAL OPENED AGAIN
TODAY UNDER SENSATIONAL AUSPICES.
CROWDS STILL INTERESTED
Reno Police Chief Testfies Concerning the Arrests
And Remarks Made by the Principals

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12-Sensa-
tiOn mOngers at the federal court
where the trial OF Maury Diggs, charg-
ed with white slavery, was resumed
this morning, were given an unlocked
for surprise today and gave them a
taste of sensation Of the real sort, but
originally they had expected to hear
former District Attorney McNab air
some of the troubles between he and
United States Attorney Generals Me-
Reynolds.
McNab was utilized by the prosecu-
ton to identify certain exhibits
brought to San Francisco from Reno
and from the bundle unwrapped came
forth some of the articles used In the
living quarters of the bungaloo at
Reno which made the crowd crane
their necks and absorb with interest
the inspection of the exhibits.
McNab was Brief.
McNab, who lost his place as dis
trict attorney after charging the Uni
ted States attorney general with de-
laying the hearing of the Diggs- Cam
inetti trials because of a pull" was
only a brief witness. Those who ex-
pected to hear of the disagreement be-
tween McNab and McReynolds were
disappointed. The whole testimony
centered about the attempt of the pro-
secution to prove by the exhibits Of
fered and by testimony of the Reno po-
lice of the fact that the entire quar-
tette was found living in the bungaloo
and engaged in immoral acts.
Reno Chief Testified.
There were several witnesses who
preceded McNab this morning. Theo-
dore Kytka, the handwriting expert,
was called and testified briefly while
Postmaster Samin of Sacramento was
called and corrected evidence previous
ly given.
Police Chief Hillhouse of Reno was
the first new witness. He told at
length of the discovery of the men and
the girls in the bungaloo at Reno
where all, he stated. were in various
states of dishabille. Relating to a
that occurred at the time,
Hillhouse said that Diggs remarked.
Its up to you girls whether we go to
the penitentiary The witness de-
clared that Martha Warrington re-
piled, We'll stay with you"
Judge Van Fleet adjourned court at
noon until 2:30 when the taking of
testimony will be resumed.

THE VALUE OF GAS ENGINES
ON THE FARM.
Butterfield-El Co. invites the Public
to See its Great Line of Farm

of the Butterfield- Implement
company on Main street where the
public is invited to call and witness
a demonstration of the uses of gas
aline engines on the farm which are
belted up to different farm necessities.
The firm has just received a large

you can see how its done when you
witness a demonstration of the wash
ing machine and automatic wringer
run by a gasoline engine by just a
simple attachment. The firm is al

Grated by electric power. The cream
separator handled by the firm is also

the guests of the chamber of commerce
While no details have been received
at the office of Secretary Burke con-
cerning the number in the perty, it is
as it is travelling via special train,
leaving st. Paul yesterday.
According to the schedule, the jar

According to the schedule that has
been received here, the party will make
short stops at Troy, Kendrick and Jul
iaetta on it's way to Lewiston where it

Recently it was announced by Pres
ident Elliott that it was the purpose of
the Northern Pacific to make their i'm
migration agents, who are located in
every part of the United States fam
iliar with the resources along the line
of it's road so that they may talk in
telligently and from personal obser-
vation of the country along its line.
The step is one of great educational
value to the Northwest and especially
the Inland Empire section. The cham
ber of commerce, alive to the wonder

Plausible Insurance Agent Gets Ac.

Worthless Paper.

A "bad check artist who has ap
parently had more experience in thu
game than had the boy who was ar
rested yesterday morning at the Will
hanson department store left his
memory at several of the business
houses of the city last week and has
| up to this time escaped detection or
the part of the county officials. The
man bore the name of H. E. Hoffman
and gave his address as Spokane.
He was registered at the Hotel Mos
COW for several days and ran up a
bill of $37. When ready to leave he
gave Mr.. Cole, proprietor of the hotel
a check for the amount of his bill and
passed quietly away. The check was
drawn on an imaginary fire insurance
company alleged to have had head
quarters in the Mohawk building in
Spokane and was made payable to
himself. Mr.. Cole suspicioned nothing
until the check was returned to him
this week with the information that
there was no deposit in the Spokane
bank on such an account. BY that
time Hoffman had disappeared.

Nor did the Stewart Brothers livery
stable fare any better. Hoffman Sc
cured a team on four different days

rest but the sheriff's office at this time

STUDENTS STRIKE
AT UNIVERSITY
LAY DOWN THEIR PAINT BRUSHES
AND REFUSE TO
WORK.
Wage Scale was Cut and Young Men
Retaliate with Regular "UniOn"
Strike.

| No more roofs will be painted at the
university this summer. To that con-
clusion came some dozen students who
have been spreading paint for the past
two months when it was announced
that their wages were to be "cut" COM
mencing this morning. To the same
conclusion came Professor George
Hall who had promised the boys steady
work at prices that are alleged to have
been "exhorbitant" To the same con-
clusion came Acting President Carlyle
when the boys announced their strike
and declared that they would unite in
a general walk-out if the proposed
cut in wages should materialize.
Funds are Low.
Acting President Carlyle defends
himself on the grounds that there is
not sufficient funds left to continue
the high wage and that, besides a
shortage of finances, the work that is
being done is not worth the price that
is being paid for it. Some boys were
working, he says, for 25 cents per
hour; others for 80 cents; others for
40 cents, and still others for As cents.
Yet all were doing practically the same
work both in quality and quantity. The
acting president "smelled a graft"
that attitude when he was talking on
the matter yesterday. He declares that
the same work Is being done at Pull
man on the w. S. C. campus for about
half what has been spent here his sum
