cut and he was injured about the
chest. At first it was thought
that some of his ribs were broken
but this proved to be a mistake.
Ferguson, who was engineer of
the jammer, had a broken ankle
and some bad bruises. He was
also scalded about the face and
hands but it is not thought that
the burns are deep enough to
be serious.
The train was stopped and the
injured men taken aboarad and
brought to this city. Mr.. Har-
rigan was alive when picked up
but unconscious and died before
reaching the city. The injured
men we're taken to the st. Maries
hospital and Mr.. Harrigan's
romans to Mulcahy's undertaking
parlors and his wife notified.
Mr.. Harrigan was about 40
years of age and was married
and leaves three children. His
brother w. ID. Harrigan, who is
also a member Of the Milwaukee
Lumber company, is at Fulton,
Alabama, where the company has
another plant. Word was sent
to him at once and no arrange
ments for the funeral will be
made until he can be heard from.

community goes out to Mrs. Har-
rigan and the family in their be-
reavement.

Mr.. Hood said that upon being
informed that there was someone
in the store, he went back and
first examined the outside door of
the warehouse and found it shut
and locked with a paddock.
He then went to the front door
of the store, opened it, and went
in. There was a light in the
front part of the store. He went
through the postofiice into the
bedroom, lit a lamp, picked up a
revolver that was there and went
out into the postofice and ex-
amined the different places where
he kept his money and found il

He then described the places
where he kept his money. A part
of it was in a vault in the safe,

More Exposures
In State House
ALLEN NOT ONLY TRANSCRESSOR
Employees Get Furniture Belonging 10 State-.-Car-
led Away At States Expense

Boise, luanO, OCT. 2I.-lhat the
end is not yet for exposures in the
state treasury steal became evil
dent today when it came to light
the defaulting treasurer appro-
priated $4,000 of the mainten-
ance fund appropriated by the
last legislature. 1t is claimed
numerous subordinate state en-
ployees benefited directly by COM
ing into possession of some of the
furniture. 1t is now asserted the
stealing ramiiles into many de-
partments.
State Treasurer o. v Allen was,
by law, custodian of The building.
Just prior to the convening Of the
last legislature, the main section
of the S2,O0O,OOO capitol building
was completed, the capitol build
ing commission let a $4,000
contract for furniture.
This contract was handled
through a Boise furniture house,
one of the owners of which is a
brother of the defaulting trea-
surer, and a firm in which the
treasurer was interested prior to
taking Office. It was given out
at the time this firm handled the
furniture from an eastern manu-
featuring concern on a commits
sion basis so far as its installa-
ton was concerned. At the time
there was considerable criticism
because of Aliens supposed con-
lection with the firm.
When the new furniture ar
rived it rapidly replaced the old,
which was stored in the capitol
basement after all departments
were properly equipped. AS GUS
todian, the state treasurer had
direct charge of il. Prior to AL
lens confession there were ru-
mOrs that this old furniture, con-
sisting of oak rolltop desks, tables
and chairs, bookcases, typewriter
desks, etc, had been parceled out
TO state employees and taken to
their homes until practically all
of it was gone.
The state is said to have even
paid the drayage TO haul it away.
Ia one instance, following the re-
cent exposures, some of this was
secretly returned. In another
instance a refrigerator was taken,
and a few days ago returned. II
was enameled at the expense OF
The state before taken from the
building.
While the probing officials re-
fuse to talk now, it is said on OK
cellent authority that the $4,000
maintenance fund for the capitol
building only has a balance Of i6
cents now because it is alleged
Allen secured $4,000 of it. When
the balance dropped so low all
maintenance laborers were focc ID

ey over to Gilbert who paid of

found the three Cancelled checks
in the treasury department and
Traced them down. The state lost
the entire interest and principal
on the deal, for while Allen paid
back to the land board the $4,000
and interest, he took from the
general funds of the state the
money to do it with.
The accountants found after
starting their probe that Allen
carried as cash items what are
known as 81 O Us" signed by var
ious parties, including some of

loans Of from $50 To $500 or S4OO

The probe exposes that the de-
faulting treasurer carried for
some time to cover his shortage a
check drawn on the United States
treasury for S5i, 900 payable to
The state for federal aid for ag-
Iricullural extension work, and
which should have been forward
ed by the treasurer to the Univer-
ity Of Idaho. The failure Of this
heck to follow its regular course
esulted in a representative of the
treasury department coming to
Boise at the time the National
Surety company started an inves-
legation.
Rumors have been anoat that
demand would be made for a
grand jury probe to thoroughly
investigate the state treasury
scandal. If action of this kind is
taken it will probably not be until
after election. Every effort will
be made to learn what became Of

tutions and payment on them re-

SEVEN EGG RULES

Here are seven rules for the care
of eggs ON the farm.
First, market only eggs Of standard
size, twenty four ounces or more to
the dozen.
Second, sort out exceedingly large
or very small eggs.
Third, avoid dirty eggs by keeping
clean quarters. Dirt can be removed
with a damp cloth, but eggs should
not be washed.
Fourth, remove males from flock as
soon as the breeding season Is over.
The presence OF the male birds In
the poultry flock destroys one half
million dollars worth of eggs each
month during the summer. Prevent
this loss by the production of infer.
tile eggs. Fertile eggs do not keep
well, 1t costs money to feed surplus
males, and the hens are more pro.
ductive when no males are present.
Fifth, reject eggs from stolen nests,
that's where many of the rotten eggs
come from.
Sixth, store eggs in cool, well ven
tilated places. Heat assists in
chick development and also increases
the shrinkage.
Seventh, keep eggs away from Cd
ors such as those from kerosene,
| cabbage, rotten food, fresh paint,
etc. Food also Influences flavor,
only clean food should be fed.
Eighth, market eggs once or twice
weekly. An egg deteriorates in quail
ity with age.
Ninth, insist that your dealer pur-
chase eggs on a loss off basis not
just as they come in. At present
the dealers buys all eggs, good, bad
and Indifferent, at the same price,
and does not recognize the difference
in quality. The result is that an av-
ersge low price is paid for eggs.
Some eggs are worthless while 9th.
ers are worth much more than the
average price. Insist that your deal.
er candle eggs during the summer.
II he sorts out bad eggs he can then
afford to pay more for the good.
Eggs are scarcest and highest in
the winter. Chickens should there
fore, be Matched early enough to be
gin laying at this season. Moreover
little difficulty will be experienced
then in disposing of the entire out
put and 1t will in consequence be
unproiitable to divert any of the sup
ply to home purposes. This difficulty
can be overcome by preserving eggs
in the summer when they are plen
tlful and cheap. A solution of water
glass, which can be obtained at drug
stores for Is cents a gallon, should
be used for this purpose, each quars
being diluted with 10 quarts of wa
ter, which has been bailed and cool.
Ell. The eggs should be packed In
stone Jars or crooks and the solution
poured over them, or they may be
carefully placed in the solution each
day, Eggs kept in this way are per.
fectly good but naturally they do not
command the prices OF those newly
laid. The shells sometimes break
in boiling, but this may be avoidel
by puncturlng tie end with a pin just
before they are dropped INTO the
