also intended to have secondary

that he had very competent and high

took the package back.
The judge also stated that it
was generally talked in Boise,
even before the primaries, that
there were Irregularities in the
lreasurer's office. That it was
being used for the accommodation
of politicians and others in put
ting through business deals, and
when they needed money they
would go to the treasurer and
get it, giving their l. o. u, which
would be carried on the books as
cash and which would be taken
up later. These things he said
were generally known in Boise
and he was much surprised that
the men connected with these
deals succeeded in being renom-
mated.

New Trial Denied
In BeatOn Case
CITY TO APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT
Judge Woods States That lie Cannot Say VeTdiC
Was Excessive

The motion for new trial, and
to reduce the amount of the YER
dict i'm the case of Beaton vs.. the
City of ST.. Maries has been denied
by Judge Woods. The defend
ants motion was argued Tues
day afternoon. Judge Woods
held that the newly discovered
evidence was simply cumulative
and not material. AS to the
amount of the verdict the Judge
held that it was a matter of fact
to be decided by the jury and that
as a matter of law he could not
say that it was excessive.
The motion for a new trial was
based on a affidavit sworn to by
Nina Severson o the effect that
the plaintiff Anna BeatOn was in
iured by falling against a stump
AS there was other evidence that
the accident occurred at some
other place than that claimed in
the complaint, the Judge regard
ed the proposed evidence cumula-
tive, and therefore immaterial.
The only step for the City nov
is to take the case to the Suprm'
Court if it decides to carry Tho
matter further and in a converse
ton with the mayor he stated tha
the city would appeal from TIM
Judges decision refusing to gran
a new trial.

Chicago Professor Gives
Impressions Of City

Prof. Frederick Starr, a mem
Der of the faculty of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, visited this city
during his vacation last summer
and while here made this Office a
pleasant call. Shortly after the
Milwaukee railroad was built TO
the coast he purchased from the
Northwest Townsite company five
lots, one in each of the following
cities; Mowbridge, S. D.; Roundup
Three Forks and Deer Lodge in
Montana and ST. Maries. While
ON his trip he visited All of these
places. Az Mowbridge ON his
way home he was interviewed bS

was in the city Wednesday on
business.
The Judge resigned from the
supreme bench last summer to
make the campaign for the nom
ination for United States senator
hut was defeated by Senator
Brady. Shortly after the pri-
maries he moved to Occur d'Alene
and opened a law Office. He al
so has an Office in Boise which
is in charge Of Edwin Snow, at
one time assistant attorney gen.
eral Of the state. Judge Ailshie
is already in the receipt of
large practice, which is not con-
fined to any particular locality
but extends over the entire state.
He has just returned from
Boise where he was engaged for
two weeks in the trial of a per-
sonal injury case in which the
Boise street railway company was
defendant. He acted as attorney
for the company and succeeded
in winning the case. He goes to
Elk City, Idaho, in few days
where he has been retained to
assist the prosecution in a noted
murder trial.
Judge Ailshie was at Boise at
the opening of the legislature and
the reading of the governor $
message, which created consider
able surprise He believes Gov
ernor Alexander entirely sincere
in his efforts for retrenchment
and economy in state affairs and
believes most of his recommenda-
tions to be practical and that they
could be put into effect without
impairing the efficiency of the dlf-
ftrent departments.
Although of a different party
i'm politics he believes that Gov
ernor Alexander will be a very ef-
fcient officer and that he should
be upheld and given every en-
couragement in his efforts TO
bring about a better state Of al
fair in the state government
He especially commended the
governors action in appointing
ex-senator A. l.. Freehafer as q
member Of the public utilities
commission and stated that he
has known Mr.. Freehafer for {
number of years, that he is wei
fitted for the position and tha
no better selection could have
been made.
Speaking of the treasury steals
and the Investigations now beinl
made he did not care to express
an opinion as to what state Of
ficers might be implicated but be
Heved that the whole matter vii
be prObed to the bottom. H
thinks, however, that Attorne
General Peterson exhibited ba
taste in objecting to the eXamin
alton of the books of the peni
Tertiary by Axel p. Ramstedt

further suggested that while tn
Investigations were on it woul
