Preliminary Postponed

Lewiston, May 2O.-The prelimin-
ary hearing of Sam Tilden, Nez
Perce Indian policeman who shot
and killed William Jackson, Indian,
at Spaulding, on a charge of murder,
which was set for today, has been
postponed pending an application
for writ of habeas corpus which
has been applied for by United State
Attorney McClear, and which will
be made returnable at Boise for
hearing in the federal court within
80 days. The federal authorities
claim that Tilden was acting in the
capacity of federal officer in sup
pressing the introduction of liquor
on an Indian reservation when he
killed Jackson, and that the case
should be heard in the federal court
while the state contends that as the
shooting occurred on the Northern
Pacific right of way at Spaulding
which was acquired prior to the ra
tifcation of the treaty with thu
Nez Perce Indians in 1895, tina
Tilden had no right to exercise an,
authority and comes under the juris
diction of the state.

v. W..P. LIGHT FRAN:
CH|SE UP TO COUNCIL

M. C. Osborn, commercial agent
of the Washington Water Power
Co, of Spokane was in this city last
Friday in conference with the city
council of Kendrick. He was ac-
companied by G. R. Beckman, Of
Moscow Superintendent of the lines
at that place. The council met in
call session and listened to the pro-
position of the light company and
also heard the reading of the fran
chise that the company wish passed
by the council Of this city. The
light company has purchased the
plant at Troy and Juliaetta and
propose to run line into this town
making a complete line to Lewiston.
This would give this city day and
night current, which would make a
fine thing for the citizens of Ken
drick. This is the first real chance
this city has ever had to get electric
lights and it appears as though it
would be good thing for everyone
to have the line, come to Kendrick.
The opportunity has been presented
and now is the time to accept it.

Idaho Day at Frisco

San Franciso, May 14.-To-day
was Idaho Day. in San Francisco.
Idaho was the first stat e of the
union to complete it's building at
Panama-Pacific International Expo
sition, and the beautiful new struc-
ture, occupying one of the most ad-
vantageous positions on the exposit-
ion grounds, was dedicated, by i'm
pressive ceremonies, to it's future
uses in memorializing the indus
tries, resources and progressiveness
of the new Idaho.
Major Fred R. Reed, utive
commissioner from Idaho to the ex-
position, delivered the principal ad-
dress. Joseph H. Hutchinson for
mer lieutenant governor of Idaho,
was master of ceremonies. Ad
dresses were made by R. B. Hale,
president of the exposition, and
Frank R. Coffin, first treasurer of
the state of Idaho. The ceremonies
were held on the steps of the Idaho
pavilion, overlooking San Francisco
Bay, at the western end of the ex-
position state and foreign pavilion
area.
Major Reed gave much of the
credit for the splendid showing
made by the state to Governor John
M. Haines. He said in part: The
broad-guage, capable work that
Governor Haines has done since ht
has been in the governors chair, ha'
made him a host of friends outside
of the state of Idaho. Idaho ha
$4,000 square miles and $4,000
people. In appropriatnig $1OO,OO'
for the exposition, it has laid a pc
capita tax of 27 cents. Idaho, lik
the other inter-mountain states,
long on resources and shy on popu
lation, and the careful exploitation
of these resources at the exposition
in the hands of able and reliabl
men, will do much in bringing tn
vast opportunities of our state t
the attention of the world. Tn
exposition should be the means {
inducing 10000 families to take u
their homes in Idaho.

His Name is Mox Mox

Thomas Henry Mox Mox acquitted
in the federal court few days ago
on the charge of introducing liquor
on the Nez Perce Indian reservation
was yesterday placed under arrest
by Sheriff Lydon, of Nez Perce
county, and will answer to the
charge of assault with a deadly
weapon. Mox Mox is the Indian
who last March subjected his mother
to beating and after being arrest
ed by Constable ]. P. Welch, of
Arrow precinct, succeeded with as
sistance by Mrs. Mox Mox, in over
powering Welch. The Indians then
took the officer in custody and re-
quired him to accompany them
several miles up the creek from Ar
row, using the officre's gun at per-
iods in a threating manner. Sheriff
Lydon arrested Mox Mox at the
time, and he was latter placed in the
custody of the federal authorities
to be tried on charge of introducing
liquor. At the trial the evidence
disclosed that the liquor in question
was brought, to the reservation by
Mox Mox's wife. Mox Mox will
early be given a hearing on the
state charge.

Mediators Busy

Niagara Falls, Ont, May 90
Marking a new era in the relations
of the nations of the westren hemis-
phere, delegates from the United
States, Mexico, and three great
South American republics formally
opened the meditation conference to
day which they hope will bring
peace to Mexico.
Confidence in the amicable set
tlement, not only of the differences
which have arisen between the Un-
tied States and the Huerta govern
ment, but in the ultimate pacifica-
tion of all Mexico through the
avenues of diplomacy, was reflected
here tonight by the mediators.
A distorted dispatch from Mexico
City to the effect that General
Huerta was ready to retire, although
contradicted by corrected dispatches
which stated that he had given his
delegates no instructions to offer his
resignation, was received with in
terest. 1t was stated that an error
in the transmission had given rise
to the first statement.
Authntic advice through diplom-
attic sources several days ago stated
that the Mexican commissioners
were clothed with full power to act
and had been authorized to agree
to the elimination of Huerta if
necessary to bring about settlement
of their country's internal and in
ternational troubles. This last step,
it was said, would be taken only
after it was apparent to the COM
missioners that there was no hope of
a settlement on any other basis.
1t was indicated in statements
made here that if an announcement
of willingness to retire comes from
Huerta in the near future it would
be welcomed as making more remote
any possibility of the resumption of
hostilities between the United States
and Mexico.
5 1t was argued also that with
Huerta out the mediators might
entertain hope that Carranza and his
followers would be brought into the
conference or become parties to any
agreement reached. Speaking of
= the erroneous dispatch one of the
principals of the conference said he
regretted that the news proved
: premature. He said he felt certain
S that the announcement soon coulo
e be made with confidence that il
q would stand. Had it been true, =
h one of the mediators said, lit woult
= have made our work much easier, a
l. it would have paved the way to an
l. early understanding"

LEWISTON LOOSES A
HARD LUCK GAME

Last Sunday afternoon the Lewis
ton Ball team played Kendrick on
our local ground. The base ball
fans turned out in large numbers
expecting to see fast game, but
were sadly disappointed the Lewis
ton team could not play fast ball
and the Kendrick team didn't, after
2 hours. misery for all concerned the
game finally ended with a score Of
Ia to 4 in favor of Kendrick. The
Kendrick team plays the same team
at Lewiston May oath and it is to
be hoped the Lwiston team will put
up a better game on their own
grounds, and make Kendrick hustle
to win. Kendrick has one of the
best ball teams in Idaho but a few
more sloppy games like last Sunday
will not help them to hold their fast
form.

Bandits Rob Spangle Bank

Three young bandits, unmasked,
at II o'clock Tuesday forenoon,
walked into the State Bank of Span
gle, at Spangle, 20 miles from Spok-
ane, compelled Cashier O. W.
Nelson to unlock the safe and give
them between $4,000 and $4,000, and
then went out and dickered for an
automobile in which to make their
escape. They dashed away through
town in the auto, shooting right and
left, while a crowd looked on. At
nightfall they were believed to be
hemmed in stretch of brush along
Hangman creek, about three miles
from Waverly, while Gordon of
men led by deputy sheriff shut off
their access to the open country and
waited for daylight. For two hours
before the robbery they were seen
by residents of Spangle and after
the news had spread they turned
about and deliberately rode back
through the town while the crowds
reognizeed them, shouted, There
they are, there, they are," and free
shots at them. Sosure of escape
were the bandits that they refused
to hurry, while the first automobile
load of their pursurers, armed
backed out into the street and start
ed after them. They calmly sa
in the automobile they had engaged
and waited for their chauffeur t.
fill the tank with gasoine. The,
finally made their git away.

An item that has come to our
notice this week is that some one on
Big Bear ridge is wilfully throwing
tacks in the public highway in order
to puncture the tires of autos.
This is something that must be
stopped, it is punishable by law and
some one is likely to be punished If
it is not stopped. Better take q
hint: than the punishment.

Problem-If it actually costs
$40, ZOO, 900 to build railroad and
the people put up $4,000, 900 to
build it, which is divided amongst
the promoters, then the promoters
incorporate it for $25, 100000 and
sells $4,000, 900 bonds to the peo-
pie, what rate of interest should the
people be compelled to pay on that
investment.

BANKS TO ENFORCE
NINETY-DAY RULE
Check Placed on Withdrawal OF
Savings Deposits as Precau-
tionary Measure

The Clearing House association de-
cided. Monday, to put In force the
rule requiring notice Of 80 days for
the withdrawal OF savings deposits,
and to adopt the policy Of settling bal
ances between banks by means or
clearing house certificates. These are
merely precautionary measures, It Ii
said. Similar steps were taken to re-
lieve the financial strain In the panic
OF 1907.
II was feared by the bank officials
that savings depositors would become
needlessly alarmed and would with
draw their deposits for boarding,
thereby rendering the situation more
dangerous through depletion OF re-
serves.
The action taken was the outcome
or three meetings held Monday morn
ing, afternoon and evening. In the
last meeting, officials Of the state
banks were specifically called upon
for their COUNSEL It was their pnrs
pose In acting SO deliberately, ofncers
OF the clearing house said. to be sure
and get ell the possible views Of the
situation so that their action when
finally determined on would be the
best. A statement given out after the
meeting Monday night, declared the
belief OF the bankers In the funda-
mental soundness Of the country's
financial condition and that the pres
emit financial uneasiness 10 merely
temporary.
