PENNELL AND rAoAn BOUND OVER

Lewis Pennell and Albert Pagan were
given a preliminary hearing last Satur-
day at the court room before Judge
Vineyard, and were held to the next
term of court under q bond Of $500
each, on a charge Of resisting an officer
and assault with deadly weapon. The
public was excluded from the hearing
at the request Of the defendants; just
why, in a case of that character, is hard
to understand; for II there is ever
time when the public should know and
understand the full court particulars II
is in case of premeditated assault up
on an officer. as this appears to be.
This is simply the law. but it is what
might properly be termed a fool law,
unless there Is some discretion left with
the presiding judge. So far the boys
have failed to furnish bail. w. N.

FINE MEETING
Directors of Idaho County
Progressive and En-
thusiastic.

There was q gathering Of as live and
no county affords when the meeting Of
county school trustees was called to
order this week at the court room by
Superintendent Granville, and they were
full Of enthusiasm for the work they
are engaged In. The result was the
best meeting of the kind ever held In
the county One of the features was
the large attendance from the more re-
mote districts. While some Of the near
by districts were not represented, those
from distance were represented by
the entire board. The convention was
organized with Mr.. Granville in the chair
Hold Quigled. Of Ferdinand. vice. chair
man. and Ed Blake Of Keuterville, Sec
rotary.
Immediately following the organiza-
ton Superintendent Granville delivered
an interesting and awakening address
to the trustees on the topic assigned In
the program, Rural School Buildings
and Their Equipment" At the close of
the address the meeting adjourned until
afternoon. and all of the trustees and
visitors made thorough inspection of
Grangeville's new school building. Few
Of the visitors had any idea Of the
character Of building being constructed
here, and were greatly surprised at its
modern equipment, and expressed their
surprise as well as approval of the
county seats progressiveness in un-
measured terms. They were glad to
know that there will be such modern

THE WAY TO DO BUSINESS.

Fred Mckinney came into the Globe
office last Saturday and abused the
editor in great shape. He said. among
other things, "Take that chicken adv
out of your darned old paper at once
unless you are prepared to furnish the
chickens. l have sold everything l had
and now have orders for a dozen cockrels
what makes me mad. Now 1 suppose
I'll be bothered for weeks to come by
people who want my breed of chickens"
That's the way to block the mail order
house, advertise in the right paper and
give your prices. 1t will beat any kind
of combination that can be formed
east or west.
