New Indictments Brought in by the
Grand Jury y-kiMberIing Gets Oil

The trial jury in the federal courI
is keeping pace with the grand jury

with introducing liquor on the res
ervation.
During Monday the grand jury

CAMPAIGN TOUR
ON SUFFRAGE
MRS. RICHARD BURKE HOME AZ
TER TOURING NORTH DAKOTA
FOR WOMEN'S CAUSE
Made Nearly Seventy Addresses Re-
turns From There Indicate That
Suffrage Amendment Failed

Making campaign tour OF great
state and delivering nearly seventy
addresses in less than three months
time is both strenuous and de-
lightful experience. At least such is
the opinion of Mrs. Richard Burke who
recently returned from prolonged
visit to North Dakota where she was
engaged as one of the principal speak
ers who were working for woman suf-
frage in that state.
s'The returns indicate at present that
the amendment did not carry and that
the great victory has not yet been
won," stated Mrs. Burke to a Star
reporter yesterday But we
scarcely expected in so short a time,
in so vast a territory to meet with
complete success. We feel that great
deal of favorable interest in the cause
has been aroused by means of the ad-
dresses and personal appeals, and it
is safe to prophesy that the next at
tempt will put North Dakota in the
list of states who recognize the right
and ability of women to use the fran
:hise. The sentiment in favor OF wom-
IN suffrage is growing rapidly among
he intelligent class of people there,
md is spreading with particularly
gratifying speed among the Norwegians
who form so large and influential a
portion of North Dakota population.
Mrs. Burke attributes some of the
'egretted results of the election to the
act that there, as here, many forgot
O vote upon the amendments at ali;
md as it required a majority of all
he votes cast to pass the amendment,
hose who neglected to vote virtually
-oted against it.
Mrs. Burke enjoyed her trip and
1ough the work was hard it was full I
lovel and inspiring episodes

CHECK ARTIST
WAS CAPTURED
YOUNG MAN WANTED IN ADAMS
COUNTY. WAS PICKED UP IN
MOSCOW YESTERDAY
Attended Land Sale and Gave Fictiti.
GUS Check for Articles Purchased,
Then Fled

Acting upon telephone advices from
Sheriff Johnson of Adams county, the
local sheriff's office yesterday late in
the afternoon arrested young man
named Adam Luft, who is charged with
having presented a forged check at
a farm sale in Adams county a day or
SO ago.
According to information received
here, Luft is said to have attended a
sale and to have bought upwards of a
thousand dollars worth of goods. He
gave as payment, so it is alleged, a
check signed by a name other than
his own. He did not take with him
any part of the purchases made ex-
cept team and buggy.
Leaving the scene of the sale, he
drove into the country, so it is re-
ported, and exchanged the team and
buggy for an automobile in which he
came to Moscow.
Finding that the automobile had been
put into the Albright garage the au-
thorities waited there for the mans
return and upon his entrance into
the garage about an hour after the
was first received from Adams
county, Sheriff Brown had the young
man locked up.
1t is expected that Sheriff Johnson
Of Adams county will arrive today to
lake the prisoner home with him.

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
DR.. E. T.. Baker Describes It's Symp.
toms and Effects on Animals

| So general and keen is the interest
of this community in the dispatches in
regard to the foot and mouth disease
which has made such terrible progress
in the eastern states, that DR.. E. T.
Baker the well-known veterinarian
has prepared brief description of the
it's characteristics may be better un-
in regard to stock.
DR.. Baker in an interview with a
Star-Mirror reporter gave the follow
ing information:
Foot and mouth disease" said DR..
Baker, "the cattle disorder now prevail
ent in the East, is an old and we'll
known animal plague of Europe, being
termed 'murrain. The cause is not
known, but it is very contagious. Cat
tie, hogs, and sheep are the animals
commonly affected, and, very rarely,
human being.
4'The first symptom noticed is that
the animal seems to have a sore
mouth Later, it smacks it's lips, ma
king sound similar to that of the
soup course in country hotel. Small
blisters now appear on the inside OF
the lips and cheeks; these grow larg-
er, break, and multiply The feet may
become similarly affected, from which
and disease gains its name.
''The malady lasts from two to three
weeks; is not generally fatal, but
causes great damage by its after eff
scts. Mich COWS will become dry and
oeef cattle will lose several hundred
pounds of flesh in very short time.
IDAHO has a stringent quarantine reg
llation, and every effort will be made
o keep it from entering this state, but
IN account of the many ways by which
t may be carried, it may break out

VOTE CLOSE ON
LIEUT.. GOVERNOR
TAYLOR AND TANNER RUNNING
NECK AND NECK IN THE RACE
FOR OFFICE
Former Has Slight Lead But Official
Canvass Necessary to Determine
Election

BOISE, Nov. 10.-The latest figures
on lieutenant governor as between
Lieutenant Governor Taylor, republic
an, and Tanner, democrat, give Tay-
lor the best of it and it looks now as
though he might maintain his lead
4J+hough the official canvass will be
necessary in order to determine the
outcome.
The latest tabulatiOns here on actu-
al returns made last Thursday showed
Taylor just two votes in the lead, but
returns from official counts today put
him in the lead again. His own coun-
ty (Bonner) gave him $50 plurality
over Tanner, while the tabulated un-
official returns from one-fourth OF the
precincts gave him only 2l2. His
Bonner net lead of AZ with his former
lead on unofficial totals gave him ex-
actlv so to the good. The official re.
turns from Twin Falls also gave him
a boost over the unofficial of 1O7,
making a gross lead with these two
counties in, officially, of 6O7.
Against this Tanner has some in
creases to come in the count from
Blaine. Boise, Custer, ElmOre, Idaho,
Kootenai, Lemhi, Lewis, Nez Perce,
Shoshone, Washington, and Owyhee,
but the bulk of the vote from these
counties is in. In any event, to offset
these Tanner increases, Taylor has in
creases coming from Bannock, Bing-
ham, Bonneville, Cassia, Fremont, Mad
ison, Jefferson, Gooding, Latah, Lin
coin, and Power. Although most OF
the vote is in from these counties un-
officially, at the same time 1t is De,
lieved the Taylor increases there VIII
offset the Tanner increases IN the otner
group. This situation brings Iaylof
stock up, although it is going to De
close. -,
Since the announcement the middle
of last week that Attorney General
Peterson was safe unofficial plurallties
have atdded to his lead The official i
returns from Bonner and Twin Falls
received today give him an additional
net gain of 40 votes.
