Attorney LaVCinc
Back in City

Attorney f. N. LaVeine, who has
been at Occur d'Alene for some
time engaged in the trial of the
Kerl divorce case, returned to the
city Friday evening. He stated
that Judge Bryan adjourned the
case Friday noon until the fif-
teenth of November as he had to
be at Caldwell to hear some cases
in the district court of that cOun-
ty.
Spaking Of the case Mr.. La
Veine stated that it took him a
week and half to present the
plaintiffs side Of the case and he
rested Wednesday. He stated
that there are over 1000 type
writtn pages of testimony in so
far. The defendant, Mrs. Kerl'
started Thursday to submit her
side of the case and it is thought
that it will take nearly as long
to put her testimony in as it did
the plaintiff. She is represented
by James H. Ailshie of Occur d.
Alene.

Interesting Case
In Supreme Court

One Of the interesting cases
before the supreme court during
its recent session at Lewiston was
that of the State Of Idaho versus
Thomas MOx. The defendant
appealed from a judgment of
conviction and sentence from one
to two years in the state peniten-
tiary for assault with a deadly
weapon on one James p. Welch.
Assistant Attorney General Her
bert Wing represented the state
in the case. Mox claimed, thru
his attorney that the alleged as
sault was never committed. The
court took the appeal under ad-
visement.
The appeal to the supreme
court of the United States in the
case of the Northrn Pacific Rail
way company versus w. l.. Gift
ford as secretary of state, has
been perfected for the second
time, the supreme court of this
state announces. The case went
to the United States supreme
court before on appeal by the
Northern Pacific. That tribun-
al held the findings of the lower
court to be not final and sent the
case back. It went to the dis
trict court for Nez Perce county
and was appealed TO the supreme
court a second time. The last
court of resort in Idaho reaflirmed
, its former opinion and now a sec
ond appeal is taken from its
findings.

close friends of the lieutenant
governor say he will be a candi-
date for governor if there is
possibility of an opening for
northern man. Some of the
more wise politicians of Boise,
however, say they would not be
very much surprised to see him
a candidate for attorney general
as it is not believed that j. II.
Peterson, present attorney gener-
al, will be a candidate TO sue
coed himself, as he is now serving
his second term. AS the attor-
ney generalship is one Of the
choicest Offices offered in the
state house, it is considered very
probable by many Republican
leaders that there will be a num-
her of strong candidates in the
race.
The developments in the polit-
ical situation are now being
watched with interest by all par
ties. The bringing out of the
Lewiston man in Defenbach for
either auditor or lieutenant gov
ernor is take to indicate to par
ty leaders that this is but The

candidates for state Offices from

Here
Thursday Night
BLOW MILWAUKEE LUMBER CO.'S SAFE
Work Hard for Nothing Only Private Papers
Contained in Safe

Burglars entered the Office of
the Milwaukee Lumber company
some time Thursday night and
blew open a small safe belonging
to A. V. Braderick and used by
him to keep private papers in.
The safe stood in one corner of
his room in the Office building.
The company has vault in
connection with the Office in which
the books and papers of the COM
pany are kept to insure them
against fire but no money or ne
goiiable paper is ever kept in it
and in order to guard against the
liability of burglars iniuring the
vault by attempting to break into
it, a type-written notice is pasted
ON the door giving the combina-
tion.
The burglars gained admission
to the building by cutting out a
screen on one of the rear win
dows which was left unlocked to
save any one who desired to en-
ter, the trouble of breaking the
glass. They evidently opened
the vault first and finding nothing
there of value to them, turned
their attention to the small safe.
This was unlocked and could have
been opened by turning the handle
Ibut evidently the robbers did not
try it.
Before attempting to blow ii
open they moved the safe the
length of Mr.. Braderick's Office,
then across the main Office into
one corner of the vault, a dis
tance of about forty feet, in order
that the report of the explosion
would be deadened and could moi
be heard outside. They ther
drilled a hole in the door of The
safe above the combination. 4
heavy charge must have been useC
as the door was torn from its
hinges and thrown quite dis
tance and the books and papers
in the vault wer secattered abou
the floor.
The robbers got nothing fo
= their work and the only damag
done was to the safe and to som
I books and ledgers whose bindin
D was partially torn off by bein
f struck by the door of the safe. Al
d though a good job was done it

Brief Prepared
In Jones Case
ON APPEAL TO THE SUPREME COURT
Rely on Alleged Error Of Court in Refusing TO
Give instructions to Jury

The brief of II. c.. Jones ON ap-
peal to the supreme court from
the verdict of the jury which
found him guilty of manslaugh-
ter at the last term of the dis
trict court, has been prepared and
is now i'm the hands of the printer
and will soon be ready to serve
on the attorneys for the state.
There are three assignments of
error on which the defendant re-
lys to have the case dismissed,
the principal one of which Is the
refusal of the court to give Ger
tain instructions to the jury
asked for by the defendant.
The instructions asked for by
the defendant, which the court
refused to give the jury are as
Ifollws:
"You are to determine from the
levidence the state of mind of the
defendant when he shot and killed
the deceased (if he did so) and in
that connection you may consider

the people of this city learned
Sunday that Duncan Shaw, one OF
the leading merchants, had died
during the previous night. He
had been confined to his bed for
less than a week and only a few
Y0utside of his immediate family
Mad any idea of the seriousness
of his illness and the news of his
death came as a distinct shock to
all.
Mr.. Shaw had been in poor
health for about fifteen months
but had been up and able to at
end to his business practically
all of the time. Two weeks ago
he had a bad spell which con-
fined him to his home for few
days but recovered and was at
the store up to a week ago Sat-
urday night. He caught cold
Sunday and Monday morning was
threatened with pneumonia and
was unable to be up. He had
trouble with his stomach and
kidneys and grew rapidly worse
and Saturday night he passed
away surrounded by his family.
Mr.. Shaw was a member of the
Presbyterian church of this city
and the funeral services were
held Monday afternoon in that
church under the charge Of the
Masonic lodge, of which he was
a member. The remains were
taken to Seattle that evening and
he will be buried in that city We'd
nesday with full Masonic cere-
monies.
Duncan Shaw was born in
GLASGOW, Scotland, Dec. II, 1864
and at the time of his death was
in his nfty-frst year. His early
life was spent at Stoneway, Scot
land. He came to this country
in 1886 and settled at Duluth
Minnesota, where he remained
for two years. He came to The
coast in 1888 ana became con-
: nected with the Freedmans Dir!
NGoods company of Seattle an'
was also with that firm in Bel
lirgham, Wn., and Salem, Oregon
in 1888. He then went to Alas
ka where he remained for sew
eral years. Mr.. Shaw came t.
this city four years ago next Jan
uary and bought out Winship
Henderson and has been in busi
ness here since that time.
Tn 1898 he married Miss Jea

he was i'm danger of great bodily
harm he could act: and what was
danger to him should be

ger"
On the motion for a new trial
the defendant filed aflidavits to
the effect that during the trial of
the case the jury had been allowed
to seperate and at least one of the
jurors was allowed to converse
with outside parties. To contro-
vert this the state brought in a
general affidavit of denial from
each of the jurors. Some of
these anidavits were taken before
Prosecuting Attorney Elder, some
before Deputy Sheriff Toohey and
one before J. II. Moran as chair
man of the board of county COM
missioners.
The attorneys for the defense
moved to strike out these afli-
davits for the reason that the per-
sons before whom they were TAX
en- had not the authority to tax
amdavits to be used in court. Th'
Judge Overruled this motion an'
the refusal to strike out these al

British Government Orders Suspen- sion of all Shipping to European Continent--U. s. Not to Convoy Merchantmen With Warships.
SHIPPING STOPPED

LONDON, Feb 19-The British admiralty this morn ing ordered the suspension of all shipping traffic between the English coast and the continent of Europe and it is almost impossible to describe the sensation which the order has created It is assumed that such orders were given only when the danger found to be serious The presence of German submarines in the English channel in spite of the watchfuness of the British warshps has created an unprecedented condition Thousands of people who were prepared to cross from different French and British ports have been compelled to remain. One hun dred Americans whe were their way to London from Paris have been marooned by the order All the fine steamers that run between Dover and Calais and be- tween different British ports and Havre, BOulOgne Dep- pe and others have tied up indefinitely at their whaves The belief is that the admiralty working hard on some scheme to offset the German efforts and the war will probably take on still phase within the next few day.
