DEATH OF DAVID +. LEIGH

David e. Leigh, one of the older
residents of Blackfoot and Malad, de-.
parted this life Sunday evening at
8 O'Clock. He had been failing for
many months, and the end was not
unexpected. ..3g
The funeral was conducted on We'd
nesday morning from the home on
North Main street. Rev. Alfred
George officiating.
Deceased leaves a wife and six
children. The names of the sons and
daughters are as follows Mrs. F. F..
McAtee, Of Twin Falls; Mrs. Jed
Jones, of Malad; Mrs. r. l.. Ward,
of Fl, Hall; William Leigh, of Ne
vada; Uther Jones, of Lone Pine, Cal
ifornia; Mrs. John Falls; Earl Jones,
who is still at the parental home.
Mr.. Leigh was for many years a
resident of Malad, Idaho, and was en-
gagged in the stock business. Re-
verses following the hard winter of
1889-90 brought him into financial
embarrassment that resulted in fail
ure during the panic of '94, and he
used everything ne had to protect
his creditors, anu then went out to
take up the task of paying the re-
naming balances against him out of
the proceeds of his daily labor while
supporting his family. He waived
even his homestead right in the set
Element, and was not content until
he had paid every cent.
Mr.. Leigh possessed a sweet dis
position, had good word for every
body, and closed sweet blameless
life surrounded by his loved ones.

LOOKING FOR POSITIONS

This is the open season for leading
men to speak to them about" ap-
pointments for friends of theirs.
Some want places as attaches of the
legislative bodies of the land, some
want to be deputy sheriffs or deputy
clerks or deputy game wardens or
deputy assessors or deputy collectors,
and it is right that they should.
Byron Defenbach, of north Idaho,
is a candidate for the position of sec
rotary of the senate.
]. w. Jones, editor of the Rigby
Star, late candidate for justice of the
peace in Rigby precinct, defeated by
the readers of his paper like any
other editor will be when he runs for
office in his own community, is said
to be seeking the position of searg-
ent-at-arms in the house of represen-
'tatives.
There are a number of applicants
for positions in Bingham county Of
fees, and it is said that selection is
likely to be made with great care as
to fitness for the work, the principals
in office realizing that tax reduction
is live question as well as the de-
mand for efficiency, and deputies will
be expected to make good in way
that has not generally been demand
ed in the past.

THE WEEK AT
MORELAND

Sugar beet digging is almost COM
pleted for this season and the farm
ers are very much delighted with the
bountiful crop. However several
thousand tons remain on the ground
near the loading station and loading
will begin at an early date.
Two new school wagons have been
added to the Moreland school bring
ing the children in from the sur
rounding country and the little ones,
are having a time of their lives.
G.. w. Ellis returned from Cassia
county recently where he sold two
loads of apples at fancy prices.
Abe Latch and family who spent
the summer on their dry farms in
Bannock county have returned to
Moreland for the winter.
AL Wolloms, who arrived from
Windsor, Missouri, few months ago
has recently located in west More
land.
Mrs. Sutton, one of Moreland' s
school teachers made business trip
to Pocatello, Saturday.
Mr.. Farmworth and family, of Mac
kay, has recently purchased 40 acres
of land near Moreland and seems to
be very much delighted with the the
country.
Mrs. A. S. Peaslee and A. Wolloms
went to Mud lake last week where
they filed on 100 acre homesteads and
seem to be highly pleased with the
country.
G. B. Watts is making weekly trips
to Pocatello with all kinds of produce
and he thinks that he is making more
money than he ever made by farming
The officers and teachers of the
M. E Sunday school are contem-
plating giving an entertainment,
Christmas tree and all around good
time, Christmas evening, and all are
asked to take a part and join in the
exercises.
Robbins and Cobbly have shipped
many car loads of potatoes to date
and have saved farmers many long
hauls to Blackfoot. However the po-
tato market in the northwest seems
to be very poor.
Oscar Estby purchased some lots
in Pocatello on the installment plan
and may spend the winter in that
Gate City.
The schedule having changed on
the Mackay and Aberdeen roads has
ratified number of passengers but
if they can get to Moreland by 8 a.
m. with their suit cases we think
they still make the round trip to Arco
and return the same day. However,
if everything looks suspiciousley blue
when you hit the ground at Moreland
and you don't know where on earth
you live, just enquire at the scale
room for further directions.

Boise-Complete official returns as
gathered by T. c. Coffin give Attorney
General Peterson plurality of 172
votes for reelection. The total vote
cast for the two leading candidates
is: Peterson, 40,496; Walters 49,
324.
Twelve counties made their returns
Saturday to the state board of can
vassers, bringing the total of counties
reported up to 81. While the majority
claimed for Taylor, Peterson and
Morgan fiuctuate with each days re-
turns, there is likely to be no change
that will give the lead to their OPP
ponents.
AS shown 'ly the unofficial returns,
added the official vote from 81
counties, the vote where the count it
close follows: y
Lieutenant governor-Taylor, 49,
319; Tanner, 3S,9SSO. Adding to this
majority Mr.. Taylor's plurality in
Bonner county, his lead is 1929.

at hand, then is S,464.
Morgan Now Safe
There appears to be no chance for
Mr.. Morgan to lose now. Wherever

nor, Examiner Alex p. Ramstedt Of
the tax commission and H. H. Miller,
expert accountant with the public
utilities commission, Mr.. Gleason
took charge of the books and records
of the former two administrations Of

of Boise some years ago when Cover

to be one of the best accountants in

1t has been learned that two add
tional bond issues authorized by the
last legislature, one for $4,000 for
improvement at Lava Hot Springs in
Bannock county, state property, and
the second for $4,000 for construc-
ton work on the Yellowstone Boise
road, were included among the four
bond issues Allen is claimed to have
burned. The other two issues were
$4,000 for c the penitentiary bond
and $4,000 for the Rupert potato and
beet sugar experimental station. The
two latter issues were sold after AL
len held them for year as cash items
to cover his shortage having bought
them back from the original purchas-
ers and scaled them making a margin
of profit for himself. The two other
bond issues for $4,000 respectively,
making $4,000 in all, were not sold
according to information received
from Examiner Ramstedt although
Allen had them reprited as he did
the other two and also carried them
as cash. Whether or not he Destroy
ed these two issues with the others
is still undetermined. He claims
that he burned the four issues after
he had the new issues made. The in
vestigation into the department
shows that he issued certificates to
the effect all four issues had been
destroyed. If he sold all four origin
al issues instead of destroying them,
this fact will develop when the cou-
pons are reported in January 1, 1915.
The two new issues for $4,000 each,
are said to be in possession of the
treasury department.
The $4,000 received from the
government as Idaho's share of funds
available for agricultural experiment
tai work, said to have been juggled
by Allen in that he held up the gov
eminent check for some time carry
ing 1t as cash item to cover his
shortage, reached the university I'LL
timately without loss to the state or
government, so far as can be learned.
1t had been reported that the
100000 bond held by the state with
the National Surety company as
surety to protect the state against
any shortage Allen might have, con-
aimed privision that the bonding
company would not be responsible
for any shortage found previous to
the last examination of the treasury
department. This appears to be in
"orrect.-Pocatello Tribune.

INAUGURAL
BALL MAY DIE
GovernOr-Elect Says There Will be
None IL he has his say In the Mat
ter.

M. Alexander, governor-elct, gave
out the following statement on Tues
day:
Il have been asked already as to
what my wishes are concerning an
inaugural ball at the opening of my
administration.
81 have asked no one to get up
such a ball for me, and l will ask
no one to do such a thing. I am
opposed to an inaugural ball, and
will tell you why:
THE plain people who voted for
me for governor do not ask for an
inaugural ball, and their wishes are
first to be considered. They have
no time for such affairs, and they
have not the means to buy silk
dresses and full dress suits for So
cial functions. They have not the
time for inaugural balls, and they are
too busy earning money with which
to pay their taxes to come to Boise
to dance at inaugural balls.
GAS for myself, / would be un-
happy at a function of this kind,
knowing all the time that thousands
of honest men and women in the
state who voted for me were having
hard time to make both ends meet,
They were not thinking of the in
augural balls when they voted for
me, but lower taxes, cleaner govern
ment and better conditions for the
men and women in the ordinary walks
of life.
eff there are those in the state
who feel that they can afford to
spend money on fine dresses and all
the other frills that go with inaugu-
raj balls, I would much prefer that
hey deprive themselves of this plea
sure for once and give the money
they intended to spend in this way
to the Red Cross society or some
other worthy institution.
Outside of all local considerations,
l think it wrong to spend large sums
of money for such frivolity now,
when the miserable victims of war
in Europe and Asia are calling on
US for all the help we can give them.
Under all the circumstances,
am strongly opposed to an inaugural
hall and will appreciate it if my
friends drop all consideration of it.
| J would much prefer to have the
plain people of the state call upon
rae after l become governor and give
me the benefit of their ideas as to
how Idaho may be made better
state in which to live and build
homes
MY intention is to make the gov
errors office while | am in it the
headquarters for the ordinary folks
" no come to town. | wish them to
make this office their meeting place.
IL is their office They are paying
for it, and so long as l am in con-
irol the door will be wide open to
every citizen. For my part, / wish
'ais office were on the GROUND; floor,
ut in any event no card lackey
will he necessary to get In audience
with me-"

THE BANKERS DRAW
/ PENITENTIARY SENTENCES

CALDWELL. A. Givens, vice
president, and c. e. Lore, cashier of
the Bank of Nampa, ltd, which insti-
tuition was closed by order of the state
bank commissioner in September,
1913, were sentenced by Judge Bryan
Monday forenoon to serve from six
months to three years at hard labor
In the Idaho penitentiary.
Alleged False Statement
The charge of which the former
Nampa bankers were convicted in dis
trict court here Friday was of making
a false report to the state bank COM
missioner. They were held for trial,
due to the results of Investigations
which followed the failure of the
Nampa banking house.
Convicted at Second Trial
In the first trial of Giyens and Lore
the jury disagreed, but in their
second appearance in court the jury,
after about three hours deliberation,
returned verdict of guilty Because
of the prominence of the defendants,
particularly of Mr.. Owens, who, with
his father, DR.. j. w. Givens OF Oro-
fino, and his brother, Raymond l..
Owens of Boise, are we'll known
throughout both northern and south
ern Idaho, the case has attracted
statewide attention.
Lore Bids for Sympathy
Both defendants received heir SEN
fences without apparent show of emo
ton. Mr.. Owens had nothing to say,
and calmly resumed the perusal OF
his paper Immediately after sentence
was pronounced. Mr. Lore told OF
the mental strain under which he was
laboring when he affixed his signature
to the alleged false statement or
April 4, 1913, due to the protracted
illness and death of his only son.
He admitted that under these circum-
stances he may have been in error
in making up his report to the state
bank commissioner.
Will Appeal Case
Notice of appeal to the supreme
court avs filed by counsel for defend
ants, and the required bond of $1O,-
600 for Mr. Givens was signed by ID.
w. Standrod of Pocatello, G. A.
Roberts and George Bumgarner OF
Nampa.
The Nampa parties who signed Mr..
Lore's bond of $4,000 made applica-
ton for a release from this response
bility Sunday, and the former cashier
of the Nampa bank was surrendered
to the Canyon sheriff that evening.
1t was reported late Monday night
Mr.. Lore had decided not to take ad-
vantage of his right of appeal and
that he intended to start serving his
tence at once.-Statesman
