from Cornett when the third shot was
fired than he was at the discharge of
the second shot.
Joe Smith a Witness.
Joe Smith made a strong witness for
the defense. Smith told of conyer-
sation he had with Downey on the
morning of the killing. At that time
Downey had told him, being then un-
der the influence of liquor, that he ex-
pected he (Downey) and Henry Cor
nett would have some trouble before
night and that one or the other would
probably be killed.
Witness stated that he had later
seen Henry Cornett, al which time he
told him of the conversation with Dow
ney, relating what Downey had said re-
garding the probable trouble between
Cornett and Downey that day. Smith
said he told Cornett to keep out OF
Downeys way, because Downey was
drinking and might attempt to carry
his threats into execution. Henry told
the witness, according to testimony,
that he did not want any trouble with
Downey.
Cross Examination.
On cross examination County Attor-
ney Simpton said, Ibid you let Ed Cor
nett have gun that day?'
mo- sir" answered the witness.
81 will ask you if you did or did
not go to Glotfelter's store and pur-
chase, or try to purchase, big A or
AS Colts?"
Didn't Mr.. Glotfelter tell you that
he had no shells for the big gun and
didn't you intimate that you would try
to get some shells from the other hard
ware store?'
mo, sir"
Didn't you tell Mr.. Glotfelter that
someone had insulted your wife and
that you wanted the gun to protect
your home with, or something to that
effect?"
"No, didn't"
"Then you didn't let Cornett have a
gun that day and you didn't buy a gun
from Sol Glotfelter that day."
mo, didn't"
"Well, Joe, there is just as much
truth in that statement as there is in
any other testimony you have given
here then, is there?" The witness hes
itated a moment and then said, mo,
there isn't" What? There is not as
much truth in that as anything you
have testified tor
"No, there isn't" replied the witness.

He Got Water.

Frank Rose, 'sthe old standby
we'll driller, says the Sites Enter
prise, completed we'll for Andy
Dahl, living near old Columbus,
which has rather an amusing story
connected with it. Mr.. Dahl lives on
the top of small hill and owing to
the fact that his land is higher than
the surrounding country he made no
effort to get well, thinking that
the depth which it would be necessary
to go wouldmake the cost prohibitive.
But as times passed and good crops
kept coming, he felt that twelve years
was enough for man to be a slave
to water hauling and so he secured
the services Of Mr.. Rose to delve for
aqua pura. Imagine their surprise
when, at depth of twehty-nine feet,
the drill encountered spring which
rose in the we'll with kissing sound
and rush. Of course Mr.. Dahl is
more than pleased, for it was like
picking up thousand dollars in the
road. Moral-You can't tell what
you can do till you try.

Haryesters Do Fine.

Sherm Mix returned Wednesday
from Moscow where he visited the
Idaho National Harvester factory.
He says the company are getting the
most fiattering reports from the19l4
models and that SO far only the most
encouring news had reached the COM
pany from the farmers in California,
Utah, and other sections where the
machines are already in operation.
The Little Idaho" is an eight-horse
harvester that cuts and threshes
wheat, oats or barley all at one oper-
alton at an expense to the farmer of
less than one dollar per acre. And
the farmer gets the dollar. One man
and boy can operate the Idaho, max
ing the farmer independent of outside
help at time when labor is seri
GUS question. Last season the COM
pany had several hundred orders more
than it could FILL, and the demand is
constantly increasing.
When one considers that with the
binder and thresher, or the header,
the average cost of putting the crop
in the sack is fourteen cents bushel,
it will be seen that machine that
will do the work for from three to Sin
cents per bushel is worth while.
The Moscow plant this year is put.
ting out 100 and the manage.
ment has already announced it's inten
tion of doubling the output for 1915
This will mean an increase in the
payroll of about twenty men.

Moscow Gets Cigar Factory.

j. P. Coyne of Grangeville at
tended recent session Of the grand
lodge of the Eastern Star in Moscow
and was SO favorably impressed with
the town that he at once made ar
rangements to locate there. He has
now opened first class cigar factory
in the Latah county seat and the
business men Of Moscow have pledged
themselves to smoke Moscow made
cigars. By following strictly the
buy y-at-home idea Moscow is building
up number Of paying home factor
les, and the town is getting the ben
efits of the payroll. Under this sys-
tenn Moscow has, in three years,
become the best town in the. Palouse
country. 1t has no vacant houses,
and has carried on lot of costly in
provements.

Thirty New Subscribers.

Thirty new subscriptions have been
added to the Republican list the past
week, thanks to the advertising given
the Republican by the dirty work of
the Blake gang, and their hypocriti-
cal hirelings. From all over the
northwest, people who know the
Blakes and their dirty work, are in
quiring what on earth any newspaper
could possibly publish that would libel
these men. The general opinion is
that they will never let the cases
come to trial, giving the Republican
an opportunity to prove these charges
in court. 1t will be about like
proving that skunk stinks.

State Chairman Visits Orofino.

George A. Day, state chairman of
the republican party, was in Orofino
Tuesday looking up the political sit
uation.. Referring to politics, Mr..
Day said: .'The situation in Clear
water county looks good. There IS
every indication that the republicans
will sweep the county, and win in the
state by overwhelming majorities.
1t is a republican year all over the
United States; factional differences
are being satisfactorily adjus ted, and
the Progressive leaders are practical
ly a unit today in an effort to place
the republican party back into power.
Reforms in the organization of the
party have been put in force; every
objection of the Progressives has been
satisfied, and the republican party is
marching into the coming election
with confidence and enthusiasm.
In Clearwater county the republi-
cans have shown wisdom in giving
and taking, uniting on common
ground.
''There is no real cause for divis-
ion. Two years ago the split was
made between two favorite sons, each
equally sincere in their attitude and
stand. This is now an off year
neither is in the field, and there is nc
reason why all republicans should not
rally around fundamental principles
that have long brought happiness and
prosperity to the American people.
In my judgment the republicans will
win the greatest victory in Idaho this
year that has ever been accorded the
party in the history of the state.

Medical Association Meets

The North Idaho Medical Society
held its Quarterly meeting at the state
Sanitarium here last Friday, physic-
ians from different parts of North
Idaho attending.
DR.. Mitchell of Blackfoot and DR..
Maxey of Boise, president and secre-
tary of the State Medical Society,
attended the meeting and gave en-
couraging reports of the good work
done by all the medical societies of
the state. The medical profession is .
constantly informing all the people of
the causes of disease and how to pre-
vent them. Smallpox and dyphtheria
and the use of antitoxine and how it
is said typhoid fever is being prevent
ed by vaccination. The infections that
cause blood poisoning are disappearing
by strict cleanliness. The preven-
tion of tuberculosis by pure air.. good,
plain food and hygenic living is do
ing away with this great plague.
Physicians are declaring that the only
wag to do away Hith he iripksful re-
suits ot venerial disease is by moral
living with one standard for both men
and women.
One of the physicians read very
interesting paper on the treatment of
infection or blood poisoning following
child birth. The essayist said that
owing to the scrupulous cleanliness
now so generally observed there is
little of this kind of poisoning, but
there is still some. He urged the
Importance of teaching cleanliness
and giving instruction to the mother
to assume half f-sitting position a
good part of every day after confne-
ment to afford the best possible drain
age.
He said such position was clearly
reasonable and was found by exper-
fence to be the very best practice.
Several patients in the sanitarium
were examined and the causes, pre-
vention and treatment of insanity,
alcoholism, and narcotic drug poison
ing were discussed by the different
physicians present, and it was the OPP
inion of all that persistent effort
should be made by all physicians,
: teachers and health officers against
the causes of all these diseases.
t The physicians had supper at the
Sanitarium and held an evening ses-
sion lasting until II p. m. They
l returned to their homes on Saturday s
train, satisfied they had held very
inspiring and interesting meeting.

COUNTY OFFICIALS MAKE
FARCE OF STATE LAW

and urged the officials to do their
duty. The next day Sheriff Harper
made the arrest, and without permit
ting the county attorney to have any
say in the matter, the sheriff or the
probate court let Bishop go without
bonds to appear Thursday for hearing,
Wednesday, the day before the time
set for the trial, and without giving
the prosecution any opportunity to
present evidence, Judge Crow dis
missed the case and admitted to the
editor of the Republican that he had
made no investigation Of the facts.

nothing to it, and that Abbott was of

State House Expensive.

The $50, 900 appropriated by the last
legislature for the maintenance of the
state house was exhausted on June %,
1914, or it might as we'll have been
as there was left for this purpose just
81 cents of this fund.
And no wonder. Just look at the
facts:
The coal used in the power house
was practically all bought from Boise
dealers and it was paid for at the
rate Of $67S per month. From eight
to twelve men were employed as jan
itors which isn't so bad in itself ex-
cept when we couple it with the fact
that some of these were paid the sum
of $12O per month. Others were paid
$75 per month, and closer scrutiny
of the facts show that the father of
the head janitor who received the $12O
' salary was on the list at SIS per
month";
1t is not to be wondered at the state
ment of principles given out by M. E..
Lewis of Moscow, who says that he
will see that "the tax dollar will
buy as much as the private dollar
is making friends for Lewis so rapidly
that the pap-recepients are getting
worried for fear the Latah county
candidate may get the nomination,
and thus cause some Of these fellows tc
loose their snaps.
If elected governor M. E. Lewis
will see to it that needless jobs are
eliminated, and the army of high sal
aried tax eaters are driven from the
public trough.

Col. Todd For Probate Judge.

Col. Todd of Pierce is now can
didate for the office of probate judge
on the republican ticket. His nomi-
nation was filed this week by J. B..
Collins of Pierce. Mr.. Todd is now
post master at Pierce, and will need
depend on his friends to look after
his campaign, since it will not be
possible for him to take very active
part in the campaign. From what
the Republican can learn from the
people in the Pierce section there is
strong sentiment for the Colonel and
his nomination will meet with the ap-
proval of the citizens generally.

On the 25 of June Jack Abbott of
Ahsahka came to Orofino and swore
out warrant for J. F. Bishop of the
North Fork country who, Abbott al
legged, had threatened to do him bodily
harm. The county attorney asked
Probate Judge Grow to issue three
subpoenas for as many witnesses.
After the sheriff, this fellow Harper,
the officer who rode all night the3rd
of July in his haste to serve war
rant on the editor of the Republican,
had carried the warrant for about fif-
teen days, and neglected to serve it,
Abbott came to Orofno last week

Republicans Organize.

Steps for the organization of a re-
publican club in Orofino have been
launched. Two meetings have been
held and the bylaws and other pre-
liminary work completed. The club,
one of a number to be organized
throughout the county, will be strictly
local, leaving all members at liberty
to support whatever state candidates
desired. This leaves the progressives
free to support as much of their state
ticket as they desire. In the county
there will be no split among the re-
publicans.
A third meeting will be held tomor.

of the case, but we do know that the
action of the sheriff is rank and rot
ten, and that of the probate court an
outrage. Judge Grow is making a
farce of the law, and by his arbitrary
abuse of authority is encouraging
and inviting crime.
Somebody has suggested that per-
haps Sheriff Harper was waiting for
Mr.. Bishop to go TO Weippe where
he will probably marshall his forces
and make the arrest next Christmas.
Perhaps the sheriff was waiting for
Pat or Jim to instruct him as to "my
official duty. /"

county, and made a lot of trouble,
and led us to believe that in his Off
cial Judgment it would be all right
for Bishop or any other man to kill
Abbott off 50 the county might never
have to assist him.
Mr.. Abbott was in Orofino again
yesterday and said that Bishop had
again been abusing him, calling him
vile names, and threatening to beat
him up. Attorney Holsclaw said he
had been ignored, and the proseeu-
tion of the case taken out of his hands
by the probate court.

Small Holders Kicking.

So far the only complaint coming
in from owners of timber is from the
little fellow, who is so unfortunate
as to possess quarter section or so
of the tall uncut. One owner told
the Republican editor that it Hooked
to him like confscation of property,
for few could afford to hold their
claims under Pat Blake's system.
Claims for which the owners have
been asking $1,000 and $4,000 are as
sessed at $1,000, $1,000 and $1,000,
and one owner declares that he will
now be forced to sell his claim for
whatever he can get because he can
not afford to hold it and pay the taxes.
"'The assessor of Clearwater county, !"
complains another individual, "has,
without cruising my timber claim,
cruised it by guess, using the cruise
of the bestt imber in the county as a
basis. The county has never been
near my claim and do not know any
thing about it; yet they have arbitrar-
lily estimated that have SO many mil
lion feet and have proceeded to levy
taxes which am to be compelled to
pay. l consider it an outrage. 1t
will mean the driving out of every
small holder in the county, forcing
us to give our timber to some big
company if we can find one that will
take them and pay the taxes. II
looks like a scheme on the part OF
the big timber companies to squeeze
the little fellow out. -

locally. In conjunction with farming

NUMBER is
City Coun Ill.

The village council met in regu-
lar session Monday night with all
present except Chairman Osterhout.
The water collections for the month
of June were S216.47. The matter
of reducing the expenses Of this de-
partment $25 per month was proposed
and is being Investigated. 1t is the
plan to install an automatic devise
that will enable the city marshal to
look after the work. By a device it
is expected that the pump will, when
started, automatically stop when the
we'll is pumped dry, which requires
three hours time. The marshal will
need only to start the pumps two or
three times each day if the plan
works.
The matter of street sprinkling was
discussed and referred to the street
and alley committee.
The application of N. O. Halgeson
to erect a temporary wooden structure
on the vacant lot just north of the post
office was refused. Councilman Ze-
lenka was in favor, of abolishing the
fire limit and permitting the building
of wooden structures anywhere, but
the proposition received no other sup
port and the present fire limit
stands.

Cooks Mill Burned.

The Bob Cook saw mill, ten miles
east of Orofno, was totally destroyed
by fire Sunday by blaze that star
ted at 80 in the daytime. Accord
ing to Mr.. Cook, who arrived from
Spokane Wednesday evening, the loss
in lumber will aggregate between
three and four hundred thousand feet
of common, and that there was no in
surance. II. W.Shelburn, who lies
at the mill, but who had gone to a
neighbors to visit, the fire started
from the saw dust pile which was
being burned. At ten o'clock an ex-
animation of the mill was made, and
no danger apparent from the burning
saw dust. At O'clock, thirty min
utes before the fire, a neighbor passed
the mill and there was no indication
of danger. The same man. saw the
smoke rolling up when he arrived
home short distance away. Hur-
rying back he found the roof falling
in, and the lumber burning.
The high grades of lumber, which
was piled some distance from tn.
mill, was saved. The mill was bull
in 1906, and had daily capacity o,
25, 900. Mr.. Cook had completed
the seasons run of GEO, 900 feet onl,
two days before the fire, leaving TO
Spokane on business Saturday. HI
says he will not rebuild at once
although he expects to do SO within
two years. The loss will aggregat
more than SIS, 900 with no insurance
