SERMON Is ABLE
Rev, A, W. Roberts Gives Valuable
Advice in Address to Graduating
Class Of High School
MANY OTHER PLEASING EVENTS
Week Crowded With Entertainments by
Pupils of Public School

Laying stress upon the great
importance of a true standard in
the education of the individual
whereby the physical and intellec-
tual elements receive their full
measure of attention but not to the
neglect of the moral, the Rev. A.
w. Roberts delivered a strong and
able discourse to the graduating
class of the high school at the
baccalaureate exercises at the
Methodist church last Sunday even
ing. Rev Roberts chose as his
text Feel. 1910" If the iron be
blunt ard he do not whet the
edge, then must he put to more
strength, but wisdom is more
profitable to direct The theme
of the discourse was, The Three
Fold Nature of Man, or the Moral
Element in Education"
Rev. Roberts called attention to
the need of the development of all
our being for the glory of God and
the good of humanity, and in the
expanding of the theme he spoke
at length on the function of the
state in developing the intellectual
and the function of the church in
developing the moral or spiritual
nature of the individual He also
called attention to the fact that the
highest type of manhood is found
in the Anglo-Saxon race, pointing
out the part that the three Anglo
Saxon invasions played in the
development of our present civil
zation. Rev. Roberts held the
close attention of the large audience
throughout the entire discourse.
The choir rendered two very
pretty anthems, and Mrs. Roberts
sang in her usual very pleasing
manner the solo, The Plains of
Peace. Rev. Parks delivered the
invocation.
The auditorium was decorated
with the class colors, orange and
black. The girls of the junior
class acted as ushers.

CASE THROWN OUT OF COURT
Action Against J. L. Dore Dismissed
by Justice Wade

The case of the State of Idaho
VS.. J. L. Dore on a charge of per-
jury growing out the COW case
reported last week, was given its
preliminary hearing before Justice
Wade Monday afternoon, and was
thrown out of court.
After the court had overruled a
demurrer by the defendant
demurrer setting forth that the
complaint, or information was
incorrectly drawn in several vital
points the taking of testimony
was begun with E. B. Schlette,
justice of the peace of Boulder
precinct, on the stand. 1t soon
developed that a certain affidavit
on which the charge of perjury
rested, and which the complaint
recited had been made before said
Schlette, had in fact been sworn to
before F. A. Shultis, notary public,
and not before Schlette, which
discrepancy would invalidate the
complaint. When this discrepancy
was shown by Schlette's testimony
the plaintiff moved that the case be
continued for two weeks with right
to amend the complaint. The
court at first granted the continue
ton, to which the defendant s
attorney strongly objected. After
further consideration the court re-
versed this ruling, and dismissed
the case on the grounds that the
defendant could not be tried for an
alleged crime contained in an affi-
davit that had never been made.

George English, a workman at
the Idaho Continental mine west of
Porthill, was killed Wednesday
morning by falling down the side
of a canyon. Particulars of the
accident are meagre, but it appears
that English was teaming from
Porthill to the halfway house, and
at very dangerous place on the
route where the road skirts the
very edge Of a precipice, in some
manner English was hurled to his
death. Interment was made at
Porthill.

PRINCE HAL A CHARMING YOUTH
Captures Sympathies a Audlsnes Al
High School Play.

Roger Rawson, in the title role
in The Rescue of Prince Hal, " in
the play by that name, won the
unlimited applause of the audience
out to hear the high school play at
the Utopia last evening. His in
depreciation of a lively, wholesome
hearted youngster orphaned and
living with a wealthy aunt and
uncle, was about as good as it we'll
could be.
Henry O Brien and Eva Boileau
as the rich uncle and aunt, Mary
Muhlfeld as their daughter, Arthur
Bangs as the son, Vera Jones as
wealthy, philanthropic aunt,
Jack Mcnamara as the elderly
uncle afraid of social prestige,
Anna Callahan, the New York
society girl, and Loretta Lynch as
the pretty housemaid, all acted
their parts with ease and in a man
ner quite true to life.
A strong line of comedy ran
through the play, mingled with
not a little of pathos. The stu
dent actors won much deserved

Livslisst Ball Game Of the Season
Sunday

Beyond question the most
hetly contested ball game Of
the season will be pulled of
at the local grounds next Sun
day afternoon when the Sand
point Tigers will attempt to
make meat of the Bonners
Ferry aggregation. Since the
memory of man began, there
has been a keen rivalry be-
tween these two teams, and
Sundays game will be as
earnestly fought as any that
have gone down in history.
The Tigers are playing
strong ball this season and
boast of having the strongest
team throughout this BALI
wick. On the other hand
Boomers has only lost out
once, and claim to have as
strong an aggregation as ever
represented the city on the
Kootenai.
The attendance this year
has been lamentably small.
Last Sunday at Libby from
700 to 800 ardent rooters wit
messed the game. Let's see
if we can't duplicate that
crowd next Sunday, for the
team fully deserves your sup
port. Game called at las
sharp.

NACEL CASE IS
THROWN OUT
Judge Dunn Grants Motion For Mons
Suit in Case of Daughtery Against
Commissioner Nagel
TWO MORE SIMILAR CASES
Court Found No Grounds For Flimsy
Charges Brought

With the submission of testi
mony for the plaintiff and upon
the ground that such evidence was
not sufficient upon which to hold
the defendant, Judge Dunn at noon
Tuesday granted motion of the
defendant for a non-suit of the
action brought recently by Gordon
Daughtery against Commissioner
John c.. Nagel of Clarksfork in
which Daughtery sought to have
the commissioner removed from
Office and collect $500 fine pro-
vided by a special statute. The
showing made by the plaintiff
indicated the himsy structure of
the political attack made upon the
board through the exertions of
c. J. Coleman last fall and during
the course of the hearing Coleman
came in for a much more severe
arraignment that he sought to urge
against his former fellow townsman
when, during a half hour grilling
by Attorney H. H. Taylor, Cole
man was forced to admit that as
deputy assessor at Clarksfork he
had assessed his residence at $500,
allowing a $500 exemption, and
that he had insured the place for
$4,000 and upon its destruction by
fire had, after selling the place,
received $1,000 as his share of the
insurance. Coleman claimed that
Assessor Defenbach fixed the
figure upon his place and told him
to assess at the figure of $500.
The case had been argued upon
demurrer before and partially tried
about two weeks ago when the
arrival of the jury for the term
gave the jury trials precedence and
the trial before Judge Dunn was
Lut over to await the convenience
of the court. Monday and Tues
day All opening came where the
case could be continued. Judge
Dunn heard the witnesses of the
plaintiff upon four out of All origi
nal of eight causes of action set up
n the complaint, four being
knocked out on demurrer. These
four causes were: That the defend
ant knowingly, Intentionally,
wrongfully, and illegally, failed,
neglected and refused to perform
certain official duties PERTAINING to
his Office as county commissioner
and with the other two commits
sioners failed to organize and
continue in session from day to
day as board of equalization from
the first to the fourth Monday of
July, 1913. Second: That the
defendant, knowingly, wilfully,
etc., refused to examine the real
property assessment rolls of the
county, tract by tract and name by
name. Third: That in certain pre-
scribed instances Commissioner
Nagel, with the other members of
the board, failed and refused to
determine the complaints. Fourth
That Commissioner Nagel as a
member of the board failed to
extend the valuation of improve
ments upon some tracts at Clarks-
fork. 1.-TWO or three of the tracts
belonged to him.
Assessor Won Cannon was the
first witness put on the stand anc
testified that c.. H. Tyler did the
