AROUND THE
COURT HOUSE

District court is in a suspended
session, the judge being at Twin Falls
for two or three days trying cases
for Judge Stockslagger.
The case against Edwin Emmons
was disposed of by him entering a
plea of guilty and taking jail SEN
tence.
In the Probate Court
In the probate court two or three
vagrants were sentenced, and the
case of the state against Adrian Par
sons, charging him with selling
diseased hogs was heard by Judge
Jensen and decision will be given
on Saturday at 2 p. m.
Appeal of the Five Deputies
In appealing the case OF the five
deputies whose salaries the commits
sioners attempted to cut, carrying the
question up to the supreme court of
the state, the county clerk has to
make out five copies or each of the
following name, documents for each
of the five cases:
Order of the board of county COM
missioners fixing the saiarIes of the
deputies for 1914 notice OF appeal
from said order to the district court;
motion to dismiss the appeal in the
district court; memorandum of de-
cision of judge remanding said mat
ter back to the board; notice of ap-
peal by the board to the supreme
court; undertaking on appeal; stipu-
lation in open court regarding the
appeals.
This calls for eight documents to
be made in five copies eacn, one copy
for each member of the supreme cour>
and one for the attorneys on each
side. It makes 23 pages and cover
in each book and five books for the
case of each deputy, total 115 pages.
1t takes Clerk Carruth two days
steady work to write, index and bind
one case. The five cases will take
him ten days and make a total of
SIS pages. This costs the county
about $40 for labor and materials.
If it were individuals appealing such
cases instead of county board 1t
would cost them $126 for this work
and the filing fees in the supreme
court and there is still question
whether the usual procedure must
be followed throughout. The bonds
men may be called upon for $12t
as soon as the binding Is DONE. In
any event the county is paying an as
sistant attorney to conduct the cases
and the county clerk is doing the
work we have just explained. We
explain elsewhere in this issue the
further details of the case under the
heading. Comedy of Blunders Con.
tinues.'
Extra Help for Extra Work
County Clerk Carruth has put on
three extra persons to record the
deeds and mortgages and prepare the
election registers. Miss Mildred
Smith, Miss Lila Stevenson and Mr.
Fred Hess.
Took Part Holiday
Miss Jessie Lloyd applied for a hall
holiday last Saturday and went tc
Pocatello. Clerk Carruth laid of
at o'clock and went to Aberdeen
in his car. He claims to have gone
to work two hours earlier in thu
morning to make up for it, and HI
denies the charge of losing any time
He says there are no cigars coming
on that. To be continued

THE WAR WITH MEXICO

The peace ENJOYS appointed to ar

PLAY WORTH WHILE.
'Help Wanted'' Last Night q Real
Treat to Theatergoers.

An old reprobate staged his repre-
hensible acts at the Grand theater last
night and all who saw him liked him.
Henry Kolker, as Jerrold r. Scott, in

stenographers and was strong in his

is what the play is about. Grace VAL

little stenographer, just out Of business

on account Of her youth and prettiness,
and placed in his private office.

AS the play is short, more time could
well be allowed her. This is also true

tiers.
Help Wanted has its humor and
tense moments judiciously mixed. There
are plenty of laughs and a few sobs.

the personal leadership Of Lieutenant
William H. Santelmann will give their

At the Hip.
Eugene Walters beautiful MASTER
piece. THE Wolf" opened at the Hip
matinee today for a two-days' engage
ment. This powerful drama OF the
great north woods was booked for a re-
turn date owing to the many requests
Of Hip patrons who failed to see it when
it was first shown here early in the
season.
The theme tells Of an Ojibway Indian
girl left to freeze to death with her
baby in the intense cold Of Canada.
Her father on his death bed stricken
with remOrse, requests his son to find
this girl. He succeeds in locating her
betrayer, Stays him and all ends hap

typical Of a present day condition which
unfortunately exists to a marked de-
gree. The management wishes to an
nounce that the Schubert & Brady re-
leases will be shown Monday and Tues
day of each week. See Hip advertise
ments for schedule of shows.
Seven Keys to Baldpate.
George M. Cohan's Seven Keys to
Baldpate" will be acted at the Grand
Opera house Oct. q. The play, which
varies between farce and comedy met
with instantaneous success in New York
and Chicago where it had an uninter-
rupted run of ten months last season.
Mr.. Conan calls his unique work a mys-
terry farce, the adjective applying to a
succession of strange and highly mys-
FERROUS events that transpire in an old
inn on top of a mountain during q ter
r1ble winters night. When you are told
that Baldpate is the name Of the noun
tain inn. and that the old caretaker of
the place hands the hero 1.-The only key
to Baldpate," you may get a remote
notion that the other six keys are going
TO turn up in quite a mysterious way.
Peck's Bad Boy.
Thoroughly up-to-date, "Peck's Bad
Boy" will be the attraction at the
Grand theater Saturday, Oct "a, matt

This popular comedy. which has
amused hundreds Of thousands in the

WILL PLAY AGAIN TONIGHT
But No InjunctiOns VIII Be
Filed This Time.
Origin of Band on q Frfgate In
Mediterranean.

After an Injunction had been filed
to keep it from playing, the United
States Marine band, national music
makers of America, played the first
public band concert given at the
Auditorium in this city Immediately
after the building was finished in 1901.
The Marine band will give another
concert at the Auditorium this even
ing.
The concert at the Auditorium in
1901 was also the first appearance of
the famous organization in the city.
A few days before the concert a dis
pute arose between the city council
men and citizens of the city as to
whether or not the building could be
used for public concerts. In the end
an injunction vas fled against the
band. The band gave the concert as
scheduled and the next day the injunc-
ton was settled in favor of Lieut.. Will
liam H. Santelmann and his fifty
players.
The circumstance was recalled to-
day by Lieut.. Santelmann in an in

Kansans on Program.
Connected with the organization
are two Kansas men, Arson Goodson
and Frank King. Relatives of Frank
King are living in Topeka.
According to Lieutenant Santelmann,
a number Of selections on tonfght's
program are new to the public and
will be played for the first time to-
night. Programs to be given during
the present tour were selected by the
leader Of the organization and COM
prise not only of classics, but of the
latest popular airs and occasionally a
bit of ragtime. To these programs
the band owes it's great popularity in
Washington.
Origin on a Frigate.
The band is an establishment whose
origin is almost lost in the traditions
which surround the earliest epochs of
the country's history. One story has it
that an old sea captain, cruising in
the Mediterranean, was SO pleased with
the performance of some Sicilians that
he persuaded them to come on board
his frigate, and then unceremoniously
brought them to America. Here they
were formed into a band as proteges
