Burglars At
Work In City
ST. MARIES HARDWARE co. THE VICTIM
Stors Broken Into Wednesday Night RevOIVers
And Cutlery Taken No Clue.

Burglars were at work in the
city again Wednesday night. This
time it was the st. Maries Hard
ware company which was the
victim. Entrance was gained by
picking the lock on the front door
>and between one hundred and fifty
and two hundred dollars worth Of
goods we're taken.
The burglar was either an old
hand OF else knew exactly what he
wanted as he only took that class
OF goods which contained the
most value with the least weight
and could be the most readily dis
posed of. He took every auto
matte revolver in the store. For
tunately the holiday trade had
worked the stock down until it was
very low, only seven remaining.
These seven, however, were very
good guns, ranging in price from
$3.50 to S24.OO. A quantity of
pocket knives was taken, just the
amount and value of which it is
hard to ascertain. The only
other article known to be taken
was a flashlight.
In making his selection of the
flashlight the burglar exercised
his perogative of first choice and
showed excellnt judgment as he
took the best one in the store.
After making his selections he
left by the front door, leaving it
unlocked and it was found in that
condition when Mr.. Kidder came
to open up in the morning.
Just when the ROBBERY was per-
petrated is unknown but it is
thought to have been at a late
hour as an electric light was
burning all night in the store and
had anyone passed while it was
being done he could not have
helped but see.
This is the second time this
year that the store has been burg
larized, the other being last
spring. At that time an en-
Atrance was obtained through a
fransom over a rear window. The
transom has since been fixed so
it is impossible to get through
and the back door has ben fast
ened with bolts. 1t was not
thought possible to gain an en-
trance through the front door.
Evidently the burglar had no
expectation of getting any money
as he made no attempt to exam
inc the till and the safe was un-
disturbed. The sheriff has been
furnished with a description OF
the articles taken but there is no
clue to the perpetratOr and it is
doubtful if any of the goods will
be recovered.

Stray DOGS Are
Becoming a Nuisance

This city is blessed or cursed
With an unlimited supply of dogs.
From the number seen on the
streets it would seem as if every
amily in town must have one or
liore dogs and besides those ac-
ually owned in the city it looks
as though every person living in
he vicinity who has a worthless
cur makes it a point to bring it
to town and leave it.
The dogs are so thick on the
streets that they are becoming a
decided nuisance and the people
generally are threatening TO put
out poison and get rid of a few OF
the pests. The only thing that
prevents a number from trying
this is the fear that some val
liable dog might get hold of the
poison.

Power Company
Protests Taxes
CLAIMS lT IS DOUBLE ASSESSMENT
Says Easement To Overflow Lands Was Assessed
As Part OF Operating Plant.

The Washington Water Power
company has filed protest
against the county assessing and
taxing its easements to overflow
lands in the county, which was
ordered put on the tax rolls by the
board of county commissioners
at its meeting as a board of re-
view to equalize the personal
property tax. The Water Power
company, in its protest, claims
that these easements were as
sessed by tn state board as a part
OF it's operating plant at Post
Falls.
Under the law utilities COM
lanies, like the Washington
Water Power company, are as
sessed by the state board and the
taxes are divided between the
counties through which the trans
mission lines of the company pass
in proportion to the mileage.
None of the cOmpany's lines are
in this county and although there
are five thousand acres of land
in this county affected by the
easement to overflow, if this
easement is taxed as a part Of the
operating plant at Post Falls this
county would not ct a cent Of
taxes from it. The taxes would
all be divided between the coun-
ties of Kootenai, ShOshOne and
Bonner, in which the transmits
sion lines of the company are To-
Gated.
This would be manifestly un-
just and it was by the direction
of the state board of equalization
that the county board ordered the
easement placed upon the tax
rolls.
The county board of equaliza-
ton has finished its work for the
year and will not be in session
again. The protest is made and
directed to the board Of county
commissioners acting as a boarC
of review and it is a question
whether under the circumstances

LUMBER COMPANY MAKES APPEAL
Ed. La Coulter Pleads Guilty And Is Given Long
Sentence In Penitentiary

The fall term of the district
court for this county has been
completed. Judge Flynn fin
ished the business Wednesday
noon and adjourned court sine

take the time that was etpecxed
as the case of Kinsolving VS. the
Milwaukee Lumber company,
which it was thought would take
two or three days was finished
in less than one.
The Luce divorce case was
ettled out of court and dismissed.
The divorce case of Jahnke VS..
Jahnke was continued for the
term and there was no opposi-
ton to the forming of Drainage
District No. 1, the Meadowhurst
project, and the court entered an
order for a decree forming the
district and directing the attoP-
neys to prepare a formal decree
The judge announced his de-
cision in the case of Eflle Keller

bott granting the plaintiff an alb

also gave her as her separate
property twenty head of cattle,
one horse, her personal wearing

the remainder of the personal
property and title to the home
stead. He was also required to
'ay the plaintiff the sum of three
hundred ollars for the main
tenance of herself and child and

After the judge had rendered

company, giving Kinsolving q
Judgment for the full amount

defendant gave notice of inten-
