tai up TO date has already jump
ed to over one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars.
II is reported that Coleman has
admitted the existence of the
500, 900 check found in the vaults
Of the treasury and said to have
been given by him to o. V. Allen.
1t is further claimed he declares
that the check is perfectly good
and always has been; that any
time it is presented to the bank
en- which it is drawn il will be
paid, and would have been paid
long ago had the defaulting trea-
sUrer presented it. So far as he,
Coleman, is concerned, iii S as
serted by him that he gave the
check to the defaulting treasurer
of his own free will and expected
when he did so that it would be
presented in due form to his
banker, like any other check that
he might draw, and that in this
there is nothing wrong and the
state cannot hold the charge
against him as one of embezzle-
ment or misappropriation OF
funds of the state.
1t has been reported that this
check had been presented to the
bank and paymnet for the full
amount it calls for had been paid.
Governor Haines was asked if this
was correct and emphatically de-
MED there was any thing to the
report. No secret has been made
of the fact that the state was
anxious to have COleman's bond
increased and in the filing of the
second complaint it has been sue
cessful in this. Allen is claimed
to have said that the former state
treasurer was too smooth for the
state examiner and that the
shortages are all in the cash ac-
count.

County Commissioners

$4,000 ILLEGAL WARRANTS DRAWN
Nearly One Hundred Thousand Dollars Expended
On Roads And Bridges In Six Months

CURED contrary to this provision
shall be void provided: That this
section shall not be construed Co
apply to the ordinary and neces-.
sary expenses authorized by the
general laws of the state.
We would call attention to the
fact that in face of the over
whelming defeat of the bond is
sue submitted by the present
board of county commissioners
at the local optien election held
March nth, 1914, for the purpose
of building roads, they have taken
the matter in their own hands,
and from their actions as shown
by the warrants issued in six
months you have a right to pre-
sumo that the amount expended
from the general road and bridge
funds will be in excess of $780,
600.
We would call attention to the
fact that the warrants issued
against the general road and
bridge funds are $40, 1856 AZ in ex-
cess of the levies made for same
and in violation of the law.
We do not question the ability
of these men as road builders, but
we do q6estion their right to is
sue warrants that are drawn
against funds which has been de-
cided to be in violation of the- law
during their administrator and
against the will Of the voters W no
so plaialy express themselves
against the bond issue just 3a
days prior to the issuance Of war
rant No. 1.
A comparison of the Auditor's
statement of the road and bridge
expenditures for the fiscal years
1912 and 1913 are Of minor inn
portance when you take into con-
sideration what the fiscal year
1914 will be. However, it might
be worth while. Compare them
carefully and sec who has been
doing the work.
We would change Governor
Haines' campaign slogan to take
your illegal road warrants to tn,
polls. Occur d'Alene Review.

G. H. Martin of Standpoint, one
of the candidates fer district
judge in the eighth judicial dis
trict, composed of the counties of
kootenai and Bonner, was in the
city the latter part of last week.
He has been making a tour of
the district and believes his
chances to be elected are very
good.
He is one of the best known
lawyers in the north part of the
state and two years ago was Ie
progressive candidate for gov
ernOr.
He has the reputation of being
an excellent lawyer, thoroughly
honest, and exceptionally we'll
grounded in the law, one who, if
elected, will make an excellent

this charge as he does the former
one of embezzlement. He appear
ed before Probate Judge w. c..
Dunbar in the probate court and
his bond was fixed at SIS, 900. He
appeared to have little difficulty
in procuring the bond.
Coleman appeared before Pro-
bate Judge Dunbar, apparently
cool and collected, and not wor-
ried in the slightest. The new
complaint was filed against him
between 4 and o'clock Friday
evening. A warrant for his ar
rest was sworn out and served.
The court on his appearance
fixed the bond at $4,000 and in
the custody of a deputy sheriff
Coleman proceeded to secure his
bOndsmen. By an early hour the
sureties had been accepted. At
1880 o'clock he left the county
court house in an automobile for
the downtown business section,
where, with friends, he had din

taxes I'm the county were so high
last year that it set the people
to studying and when the levy for
county and state purposes was in
creased sixty per cent they began
to wonder where the taxpayers
were going to get off at. They are
beginning to believe that there is
something wrong with the county
finance and that at least there is
gross extravaganza in the conducs
OF the affairs Of the county.
Then came the defalcation Of
State Treasurer Allen and his
chief deputy, Coleman, following
quickly on The disroissal of th
pure food commissioner, the stale
fish and game warden, and th,
land commissioner for Irregular
tiles in their respective Offices and
the people have come to the con-
clusion that a change should be
made all down the line.
This feeling is not confined TO
democrats but is common among
people OF all parties.
Progressives are heard TO say
II intended to vote the progress
sive ticket but / am afraid that it
would be throwing my vote away.
The only sure way to Dust the
present set of officials is TO vote
the democratic ticket and / am go
ing to do it," Socialists say the
same thing and even old stand pat
republicans are heard making the
same remark.
The result will be one of the
biggest political land slides that
have ever taken place and the en-
tire democratic ticket will be
elected both in the state and
county from the top clear to the
bottom, from United states sena-
tor to coroner.

and attorneys. They hold him as
strictly impartial in all his rul-
ings. He is we'll read in the law
and very few of his decisions are
reversed by the supreme court on
appeal.
He has a faculty of expediting
business. He keeps the attorneys
strictly at their work and will not
permit any tactics tending to-
wards delay.
Prior to his advent the attor-
neys were in the habit Of filing
demurers to complaints for the
sole purpose Of delay and of hav-
ing them put over the term. Judge
Flynn has made a practice, when
a pleading is filed for the purpose
of delay, of taxing the costs of
the term up against the offending
party. This has served in a great
measure in stopping the filings of
demurers unless there are good
grounds. He also compels the at
torneys to have their cases ready
for trial at the time they are set.
This tends to a great saving of
time.
Some of the attorneys had a
habit Of coming in late and ex-
pecting to carry it off with an
apology, but after he had fined
one or two they found it just as
easy to be on time.
All of these little improvements
, that he has inaugurated Serve to
save the time of the court and in
the total, make big saving to
the taxpayers besides expediting
business.

Sinclair FavOrS
County Division

The following letter from our
old friend, Bartlett Sinclair Of
Rathdrum. shows that Benwah
county has at least some friends
in the north part of the county.
The people of st. Maries are
grateful to Mr.. Sinclair for his
interest and the work he is doing
and hope he will continue to
spread the gospel of county di-
vision.
Mr.. o. B. Moon, St Maries,
Idaho. Dear Sir: l shall vote for
members of the legislature hop
ing and expecting that if elected
they will favor a law creating the
county of Benwah. / regret we
have no direct way Of bringing
about this result at the polls. AS
1 have done heretofore, | shall
continue to do all in my power to
strengthen the sentiment in favor
OF county division.
In connection with this | beg
leave to say that | first resided in
KOotenai county when its north
and south boundary lines extend
ed from Latah county to the Ca
madam boundary. At that time it
was the most wretched and expen-
sively administered county Of the
state. TO many of our citizens
the great distance Of the county
seat wholly deprived them Of
means Of knowing what our Of
ncials were up to. There was
nearly the whole time a sort OF
satnonalia of graft at the county
seat. l favored the first division
and ] now favor the next.
II has been my observation that
small counties are the best gov
erned and the cheapest and the
most honest and equitable in the
distribution of improvements and
imposition of taxes. Small coun-
ties are the best.
Let me know if / can do any
thing for Benwah.
Faithfully,
BARTLETT SINCLAIR.

High Schools
Play Tie Game

The Tekoa and st. Maries high
school teams played a football
game to tie here Saturday, the
score standing i3 to 10 at the
close of the game.
The home team put up a very
ragged exhibition of football in
the first half, and the visitors ran
all over them. They settled down,
however, in the second half and
played good football, completely
turning the tables on their op-
ponents and succeeding in tying
the score.
This was the first game that
the home boys have played with
an outside team this year and. as
they are for the most part new
men, it was hardly to be expected
that they would play the game
that they are capable Of playing,
and a much better game may be
expected next time.

Irene YOunO
Accidentally Shot
WOUND NOT CONSIDERED SERIOUS
Gun Accidentally Discharged Bullet Strikes Girl
In Ankle
WOUND NOT

Irene Youno, a girl between
twelve and thirteen years of age,
was accidentally shot and quite
badly injured Sunday.
The accident occurred at about
three o'clock on the hill side back
of the Milwaukee Lumber Com
pany's boarding house.
A number of boys and girls
were gathered there and one Of
them, Roy Berger, had p mag
azine rifle. The chamber of the
gun was full of cartridges and he
started to pump them out.
AS he was emptying the gun
one of the cartridges caught in
some manner and was exploded.
The other boys and girls had
gathered around him and were
watching him unload the gun and
the bullet struck the YOuno girl
in the ankle.
Help was called and she was
taken to the st. Maries hospital
and the wound dressed.
Yesterday the doctors applied
the X-ray to try and locate the
bullet. They found that it had
struck the ankle bone and had
passed down and was lodged in
the muscles in the side of the
foot.
No bones we're broken and the
wound, although very painful, is
not considered serious. The
doctors expect to secure the bull
let today and it is expected that
she will quickly recover.
Irene Youno, the girl who was
shot, is a comparative stranger
here, having come to the city only
a few days ago with her parents
from the east.
Roy Berger, the boy who acci-
dentally did the shooting, is a
son of Joseph Berger, an en-
ployee at the Milwaukee mill. No
particular blame is attached to
the boy as it was an accident pure
and simple and one that might
have happened to anyone.
