Cunningham
in County Jail.
ARREST MADE AT EMIDA BY DAVIS
Had Passed Several More Worthless Checks
Thought to Be Unbalanced.

G.. w. Cunningham, the worth
less check artist wha victimizod
so many of the merchants here
Friday and Saturday, has been ar
rested and is now in the county
jail here awaiting his trial. The
arrest was made at Emida Tues
day morning by Oscar Davis of
the Emida Mercantile company,
ON information furnished by
Sheriff Leaf.
AS soon as it was ascertained
Monday morning that the checks
were worthless Leaf telephoned
TO the different towns in this vi
cinity to try and locate Cunning
ham. Tuesday morning ne re-
ceived word from Emida that a
man answering the description of
Cunningham was at that place
and had cashed checks there. Leaf
directed Davis to arrest the man
and hold him until he could get
there and Wednesday went up
and brought Cunningham back.
It appears that when Cum
ningham left this city Sunday
afternoon he took the road to-
wards Santa. He reached Chas.
McLaughlin's place about dark
and asked for permission to stay
there that night, which was
granted. He got his supper and
breakfast for which Mclaughlin
charged him seventy-flve cents.
lie stated that he had no money
and wrote a check for one dollar,
receiving twenty-five cents in
change which he gave TO Nc
Laughlin's baby. He then pro
ceeded on up the road and at
Flat Greek dam Roy platner cash
ed check for fifty cents for him.
The next place he showed up at
Emida. Here he cashed two
checks, one at each of the stores.
These checks were for six dollars
and two dollars and fifty cents
respectively. AT Emida he varied
his usual procedure. Hereto
fore he had signed his own name
TO all of the checks but at Emida
he signed different names to th,
two checks.

.pends upon the attorneys whe-
ther they will be brought to trial
at this term of court.
At least three or four import
ant cases have been filed. In
two of these the city of st. Maries
Is defendant. These are damage
cases growing out of the change
made in the grade on Main street
nocessitated by the street i'm
prOvement. These cases are
pending on demurrer, the city
attorney having filed demurrers
to the complaints in both cases.
These demurrers were filed Tues
day and it is sasd raise some
very nice points of law for The
court to decide.
There are a number of dive ce
cases on file hut most of these
will go by default as there is no
appearance on the part of the de-

Commissioners
Districts Set Off
ALSO REARRANCE VOTING PRECINCTS
Numerous Changes Made in Boundaries. IP
Line Precinct Added to College

AT their meeting Wednesday
the county commissioners reap
portioned the county into voting
precincts and fixed their boun-
daries. The number and names
of The precincts remain the same
as before the county was divided
with the exception of Power Line
the greater part of which
was i'm the old county. That part
that was taken into this county
was annexed to College precinct.
AS now arranged there are lif-
teen precincts i'm the county, ST.
Joe, st. Marics, College, Treffery,
Chalcolet, plummer, Lowell, Lolo,
Benewah, Desmet, Sanders, Emida
FernwOOd, Santa and Alder. The
boundaries of a number of the
precincts were changed, the
changes being made TO make it
more convenient for the people
lo reach the polling places. A
portion of Chatcolet precinct and
a small part of Lowell were add
cd To plummer.
A part of Dcsmet was added
TO Lolo and some territory was
taken from Sanders and added to
Emida precinct. The boundar-
les OF the remaining precincts
remained the same as they we're
formerly. AT the same meeting
the commissioners divided the
county into commissioners dis
tricts.
District number one is COM
posed of the following voting
precincts: ST. Joe, ST. Maries, Col
lcge, Trefrery and Chatcolet. It
takes in all the territory along
the St. Joe river and for about
five miles up the St. Maries Dis
irict number two takes i'm all the
western part of the county and
includes the voting precincts Of
Plummer, Lowell Lolo, Benewah,
Desmet and Sanders.
The third district comprises
the remainder of the county and
is made up of the voting precincts
of Emida, Fernwood, Santa and
Alder. There is not much dir
ference i'm the area of the three
districts. The first district has
the largest voting population and
the third the smallest. OF the
voting precincts College and ST.
Maries cast the largest vote i'm
the order named and plummer is
a close third according to the
vote at the last election.

indebtedness OF the county.
Mr.. Elder did not give the name
of this individual but it is under
stood that it is either the Plum
mcr bank or some one operat-
ing through that bank. In ad-
dilion to this the banks here are
willing to accept the warrants at
par SO that even though the
county will have no money for
current expenses until tax time
no one need fear being obliged to
discount the warrants.
Although no money will be re-
ceived for the current expense
fund from Kootenai county, that
county will pay in cash the mon
ey belonging to the different
highway districts in this county
and also all school money i'm the
hands of the treasurer of that
county belonging to the different
school districts in Benewah coun-
ty. Just what this will amount
To will probably not be known un-
| ill the appraisers finish their
work.

EntCFtainS Members
Of A. 0. c. !. CIub

Miss Leila Clifford proved a
most charming hostess to The
members of the A. O. C. l. club on
Monday evening, when they were
entertained at a Children's Easter
party at her home ON West Col
lege avenue. The club mem
benrs appeared i'm children's cos
tunes and throughout the even
ing the two little boys present
were decidedly popular among
their little girl playmates.
Various amusements were in
dulged i'm such as shooting mar
bles for candy eggs, playing
children's games on the veranda
and hunting Easter egs on the
front lawn. Later each child
was called upon to speak a
piece" At the close of the
evening delicious refreshments
were served, the place favors be-
ing downy chicks carrying bas =
kets of tiny candy eggs. Eleven
club members were present and
all joined in prOnouncing Miss
Clifford a charming hostess.

Mrs. E. M. Davis
Father Dies

Mrs. E. NJ. Davis has received
word of the death Of her father,
II. N. Bradford, which occurred
at Wagner, Oklahoma, at noon
Sunday. He was in his seventy
ninth year at the time of his
death. He caught a severe cold
some time~ago which developed
into pneumonia from which on
account Of his advanced age he
was unable to recover.
He had eight sons and daugh-
ters living, all but one of whom,
Mrs. Davis, were at his bedside
when he died. Owing to the great
distance from here and the inn
possibility to reach there in time
Mrs. Davis did not attempt to at
tend the funeral.

Schultz ArTdigned
for BOOtIegeing

Frank Shultz, who was ar
rested last Saturday at Santa by
Sheriff Leaf on the charge Of
bootlegging, was arraigned be-
fore Probate Judge Holman We'd
nesday and his hearing was set
for to-day. He was permitted
to go on the fifty dollars cash
bail which he had previously Civ
en- for his appearance.
He denies his guilt and will
fight the case, and has asked to
have a list of Witnesses summon
ed for the hearing. He stated
TO The court that he had no mon
ey with which to procure wit
nesses or to hire a lawyer to de-
fend him.
The court ordered that the
state subpoena the witnesses and
he will probably also be furnish
ed with counsel at the expense Of
the county although this may not
be done until after the prelimin-
airy hearing and in case he is
held for trial. County Attor-
ncy Elder is representing the
state in the proceedings.

The Review in this city later made
him return the change and so lost
nothing. AT Oliver Nelson's he
purchased goods to the amount

check for five dollars and re-
ceived the balance in money. He
also purchased a bill of goods at
a. n. Cartoons giving a check
for $3.50 and receiving a small
amount of money in change.
The sheriff and others who
have talked with Cunningham be-
lieve that he is crazy or at least
is not entirely right i'm his mind
and it certainly does not seem
that sane man would pass so
many worthless checks in such
small amounts and make so slight

Dlmand for
County Indebtedness

On his return from Occur d.

ed that after talking with the ap-

tlement between the counties. he
believed that thes hare which
this county would have to assume
of the old Kootenai county in.
debtedness would not exceed
eighty thousand dollars.
This is made up of outstand-
ing warrants and bonded indehl-
edness and he stated further that
a party stood ready to buy up all
of this indebtedness and further
that this same party was willing
and anxious to buy the warrants

Repairing Defective
Drain Costly

According to the report of the
street commissioner made to the
council Monday evening it will
cost the city about one hundred
and fifty dollars to repair the
damage caused by the defective
drain crossing Main street be-
low the post Office and to put the
drain in proper shape. It will
also be impossible to put the
street in as good condition as it
was before it was torn up for the
repairs.
From the report of the COM
missioner it would appear that
the entire trouble arose over the
drain not having been put i'm
properly by the contractors. II
this is the case it would seem as
though the contractors should be
held liable for the damages done
IL may be, however, that as the
city accepted the work, the con-
tractors are relieved from re-
sponsibility and can not be helC
AT this date.

Loan Money on
Farm Mortgages

The board OF education of the
city has decided that it can safe
ly place six thousand dollars in
the sinking fund this year to meet
outstanding Indebtedness as it
comes due. They have further
decided to loan this money on
long time first mortgage farm
loans and have already arranged
one loan Of twenty-five hundred
dollars.
The board has another appli-
cation for a loan on the same
class of security under consider
alton but has not decided whe-
ther it will loan the amount ask
ed for on the security offered.
In addition to the six thousand
dollars to be put out on long time
loans the board has another thou
sand dollars lying in the bank
which it desires to invest in mu-
nicipal warrants or some other
equally safe short time loan.
The board held a special meet
ing Thursday at which time one
application for a loan was ac-
lcepted and the other taken under
advisement for Investigation. The
regular meeting of the board will
be held Monday evening at which
time it is expected that the re-
mainder of the teachers for the
looming year will be elected.

District Court
Session in May

A letter has been received from
Judge r. N. Dunn stating that
term of the district court will he
held in this city in May. He
could not fix the date at this time
as that depends upon the time
that he finishes the work of tie
present term of court now in
session al Occur d'Alene. The
commissioners Will have to pre-
pare a list and a jury panel will
have to be drawn within a short
time now as the court will prob
ably convene within the next six
weeks.
From the present indications
there will be a fair sized Grimm

murder trial, thas of the home
sieader who killed a man in his
cabin near pedie last December.
In addition TO this there are a
number of persons waiting trial
on the charge of boOtlegging, sew
eral cases of embezzlement and
perhaps two OF three other cases.
Most of these were pending when
the county was divided and were
inherited by this county, although
q few have arisen since that time
1t is impossible to tell at this
time how large the civil calendar
will be. Probably thirty or for

No Trace Of
Henry HdIverSOn
SUPPOSED TO HAVE PERISHED
SUPPOSED TO
Last Seen By Len GOaIaT Over Week AgO-Fad
Lost Ills Way---Seemed Dazed

No trace has been found of
Henry Halverson, The man who
was lost in the hills a week ago
Tuesday and who is supposed to
have perished. Mrs. j. M. Beste,
the owner of the homestead to
which Halverson started to go
and who is distant relative of
the missing man, stated that
there is no truth in the reports
that were circulated that he was
drunk or had a bottle of whis-
key in his pocket when he left
the city.
She stated that Halverson had
not been feeling we'll for several
days and complained of a bad
headache in the back of the head
and neck when he left. She was
afraid at the time that he was
coming down with typhoid fever
and thinks that he became worse
and possibly was partly out of
his head and so missed the trail.
When he left here he had a heavy
packsack of provisions and his
rifle as he expected to remain for
some time at the homestead He
was last seen by Len Goalar at
about half past six the Tuesday
evening that he left here.
Goalar, who attends the high
school in this city, was on. his
way home to his fathers place
and met Halverson on the trail
He was about a mile and a quar-
ter from the city and was coming
this way. He had his pack and
gun and his dog was with him.
He had been wandering around
all day and appeared dazed. He
asked the boy the way to the
Beste cabin and tried to get the
boy to go with him and show him
the way. Goalar said that he
could not go but asked Halverson
to come home with him and spend
the night but he refused saying
that he was going to the Beste
cabin.
Goalar then informed him that
he was only a mile and a quarter
from the city and advised him To-
come here and start out again
in the morning but he refused
and again stated that he wanted
to go to the Beste cabin and that
he would remain out in the woods
rather than return to the city. 1t
was then growing dark and Goal
ar left him and went home. It
is thought that Halverson wan
andered around in the dark and
probably fell over some cliff as
his dog returned home the next
morning.
The farmers residing near
there as we'll as friends from the
city have searched diligently but
have been unable to find any
trace of him. His relatives i'm
the east have been notified of his
disappearance and a brother is
expected to arrive here shortly to
take part in the search for him.

Sheriff Leaf has two men i'm the
county jail who are being held
on the suspicion of having stolen
q set of harness from a farmer
near Plummer. 1t appears that
on Wednesday evening the men
appeared at Stays second hand
store with a set of harness which
they desired to sell. Mr.. Slay
took the harness and advanced
them one dollar saying that he
would pay the balance Thursday
morning. He notified The officers
and when the men came for the
