The Idaho Republican., 1914-10-16

Balls court at the court house when
he was excused at the City hall,
which was agreed to.
Judge Ezell decided to take the
matter under advisement until one
o'clock, and as Mr.. Trego was leav-
ing the room Sheriff Jones and A.
s. Dickinson entered. Dickinson
asked to see the complaint, and
looked it over. Mr.. Trego started
for the court house but stopped at
the Republican office to telephone
Mrs. Trego what was going on.
While SO engaged Sheriff Jones ar
rived in the county car and said he
had warrant of arrest. On look
ing it over Mr.. Trego said, 81 have
already been arrested once on this
warrant"

well, it was just like this, and
by the same people. l was in the
police court at the time, and l ar
ranged with Mr.. Hull to report at
Balls court as soon as was ex-
cused, and / am on my way over
there now"
Mrs. Trego answered the phone
and received the information. Then
Mr.. Trego telephone to Hansbrough
and Gagon and got no response. He
rang Attorney Lee and he was en-
gagged; then he rang Jones and Adair
and asked them how many different
courts a man can be tried in for
the same incident, and what would
be a good thing to do under existing
conditions.
While these telephone calls were
going on, Sheriff Jones stood by with
his right hand in his side coat pocket,
probably gripping his automatic, and
that side of his coat trembled visibly.
Mr.. Trego said, would it be all
right for me to just walk over to
your office when l get done with
my consultations"
"Well, you will go with me. Come
on" (Nervously.-
Jones retorted, "You can Just as
well ride" }
When the telephoning was done
Trego rode to the court house and
walked into the county attorneys
office where County Attorney Good
and Justice Ball were waiting. Mr..
Ball and Mr.. Trego exchanged greet
ing; Mr.. Good does not speak to Mr..
Trego since he opposed him politi-
cally and Mr.. Trego does not speak
to Mr.. Good since Mr.. Good got
"sore."
Mr.. Ball and Mr.. Trego retired to
the probate court room and the CON-
plant was read and considered
When Mr.. Ball asked what plea was
to be entered, Mr.. Trego said, "Well
You know I am reducing the taxes
every chance l have, and here is q
chance to cut out some expense
Now let's just suppose a case. Sup.
pose that plea of guilty were tend.
cred in this case just to simplify
matters, and suppose you were about

Judge Ball replied in some con,
fusion, "Er-why, don't know. We
could fix that up though. We would
have to fix that up afterwards.

C. B. Wilson

This week c. B. Wilson announ- ces his candidacy for reelection to the office of County Attorney and asks the Republican voters to nom mate him for that position. MT. Wilson has served as County Attorney for two years and has discharged his duties with fidelity and honor. In all proba- bility he will have no opposition at the Primary and should have none.

Calgary, Alta, July-That the International Irrigation Congress at Calgary, October, 5 to g next, will be one of worldwide importance, is the statement of L. Newman of Great Falls, Montana, a member of the board of governors. The fact that the congress is held for the first time this year outside of the United States is creating great in- terest, and it is believed that the attendance will establish new record.
 It is estimated that more than $7OO, 900, 900 has been spent on ir- rigation projects and reclamation works on the North American con- tinent and that 2O,OOO,OOO acres have been reclaimed.

The Victim Ought to Know

It is lately reported that on h. dependence Day in the eastern Penitentiary prisoners became in- terested in temperance. 1OO8 out of 1478, about 70 per cent. peti- toned the legislature asking for state wide prohibition. Without even a suggestion from Warden Nc Kenty, the prisoners confined signed their names and in many instances volunteered to go before a legislative committee and tell how drink had wrecked their lives.
 "It is unique and the most man. ly document ever sent from penal institution. was the terse comment of Warden McKenty tonight. "Sev- enty per cent. of the prisoners claim that their down fall was due to rum. It is certainly wonderful argument against the liquor traffic.
 Three months ago the Umpire, a little paper published by the con- victs started a crusade against drink. Letters began to flow in telling the personal stories of pris- oners who claimed were it not for liquor they would not be serving time in prison.
 r The editor himself a prisoner was so impressed with the letters that he drafted a petition and sent 1t around the prison for signatures.
 The Empires Editor has .bulks of letters that relate the, personal experiences of convicts. Here is one written by g man serving ten years:
