Many See Elk

Tuesday morning considerable
interest was aroused by the ar
rival of two carloads of elk en-
route from the Yellowstone Park
to the Black lake game reserve
where they will be turned out.
The elk were taken to Council
and from there to the reserve.
The government will protect
them while in the Black lake dis
trict and it is thought that in a
few years a large herd will be
the result. This was as fine a
bunch as mad ever been seen in
this city and everybody who
could went down and saw them
while they were in the yards.
There were fifty in the herd. =

Hye Trial About Completed

The Hye murder case has oc-
Gu led the attention of the dis
trlct court all of the present week
and is still in progress but will
probably go to the jury some
time late today.
The state took up all of last
week examining it's numerous
witnesses and the defense intro
duced its evidence this week. A
number of witnesses were ex-
amined for the defense and Hye
took the stand in his own behalf
on Wednesday. He told a strong
story of the causes leading up to
the killing and the manner in
which the double shooting occur
red and, although cross-question-
ed severely, his testimony was
not shaken. Hye was on the
stand all day Wednesday and on
Thursday other witnesses for the
defense that had been summoned
from Elk City were examined.
The taking of evidence was
concluded yesterday afternoon
and the arguments of the attor-
neys will occur today, with the
result that the case will go to the
jury either late this afternoon or
tomorrow.
The court room at Grangeville
has been crowded from the day
the trial opened until its compile
tion and when Hye was on the
stand the room was packed to it's
fullest capacity. Feeling against
Hye is said to be very strong at
Grangeville and several special
deputies have been on duty to
safeguard the prisoner and keep
down demonstrations.
1t is estimated the case will
have cost the county about ST.
600 by the time it is completed. |

on Most Appropriation
Measures-Whitebird Bridge
Among the Slain.

| j
after the opening of the after.
noon session today to abolish the
term of court at Lewiston and
create one at Pocatello, as pro-
vided in S. B. No. 2O4. The meas
ure proposes that the supreme
court hold six terms a year, which
shall be equally divided between
Boise, Coeur d'Alene and Poca-
tello. Senator Kicks later in the
session announced he would ask
for a reconsideration tomorrow.
Relief for Saloon Men
Liquor dealers whose licenses
would not have expired until
some time in 1916, but who were
legislated out of business by the
passage of H. B. No. 142, the
prohibition bill, will not have to
sacrifice part of their license
money, nor will those whose IL
censes expire during this year
have to go out of business until
the first of the year, if S. B. No.
PIP becomes a law.
1t was approved by the senate
today under suspension of the
rules. This measure provides for
refunding to the liquor dealers
the amount of their license money
which is unearned by the state
because of the prohibition law.
There was not an opposing vote.
Vetoes by Governor
Without executive approval H.
B. No. 154, by Clark of Custer,
providing for the issuance of
bonds in the sum of SIP, 500 and
appropriating the proceeds there
of to the construction of five
wagon bridges over Salmon river
in Custer county, was returned
to the house by the governor to-
day, thus continuing his policy
of rejecting all appropriation
measures adopted by the legis-
lature.
The governor has several other
measures awaiting his disapprov-
al. He has already prepared the
veto for several of them and has
them in cold storage, to send
over from day to day.
Among those on which the
veto message has already been
written is H. B. No. 81, making
the state horticultural inspector
ex-officio inspector of apiaries.
This measure gives the inspector
authority to appoint deputies at
the rate of S. a day.
H. B. No. 155, appropriating
$17,0O0 for building the Home
dale bridge, is another which
will get the exc in a day or two.
S. B. No. 81, providing an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the
Pleasant View road, and H. B.
No. 164, appropriating $4,000
for a bridge at Whitebird, are
two other measures which will
be sent back without approval
within the next couple of days.
New State Engineer
Submitting the name of J. H.
Smith, of Nampa, to the senate
as his choice for state engineer,
to succeed Herbert Wing, acting
engineer, the governor completed
today the list of direct appoint
ments which he has the right to
make.

SALESMAN
HELD AS EMBEzZLER
Arthur VandereIs Accused by
Steeber Co.-Lays Trouble
to Bad Business.

On a charge of embezzlement,
Arthur vanderels, of 7S7 South Thir-
teenth street, was held under $4,000
bail to await the action of the grand
jury, by Judge Mancusi- Ungaro at
the Third Precinct Court this morn
ing. The charge Is the result of a
complaint made by John G. Steeber,
a jewelry manufacturer, of s5 Oliver
street, that Wanderers mad failed to
return Jewelry, or its equivalent,
which he received from the firm last
spring. A large portion of the jew
elry was put in pawn by Vanderels,
but the pawn tickets have been re-
covered by the complainant.
According to Mr.. Steeber's story,
the latter part of last April, Van
derels received $500 worth of jewelry
from the Steeber Jewelry Manufac-
turing Company, 95 Oliver street, for
the purpose, Steeber alleged, of
selling. The defendant opened a
store with Bertram E. Clark on the
board walk at Atlantic City. Busi-
ness was slack and Clark dropped
out. He left these parts and Is be-
lieved to be in either England or
Scotland
Vanderels kept the business going

pawn one piece after another, 1t is
alleged. He kept this up until $4,000
worth of the goods had been put into
pawn. He returned to this city and
promised Mr.. Steeber that he would
make good, and return the pawn
tickets to Mr.. Steeber.
Mr.. Steeber stated that he put up with
the promises to make good as long
as he could do so and finally had to
resort to court action. He made
complaint against Vanderels in the
Third Precinct Saturday morning,
and the latter was arrested at Mr..
Steeber's place Saturday afternoon
by Lieutenant Thomas Daily and Ser
geant Frank Brex. At the time of
the arrest Vanderels was in to see
Mr.. Steeber, renewing his promise to
make good for the loss.

against Vanderels on the same

MURDER CHARGE
IS NOW REVIVED

shooting Sue Brown Clark, the
woman in the case had slapped Mis-
rendino, alias Baker, in the face, ana
she had seen Baker slap her PACK.
1t was a few minutes later, she said,
that the shooting occurred.
In oss-examining the Weber girl
Mr.. McDermit did not mince words in
telling her that his opinion was that
because she did not get the 50 from
Bovina and his friend last week, she
decided to "squeal."
In summing up the evidence and
asking Judge Mancusi-Ungaro to
parole Bovina, Mr.. McDermit said
the fact that the Webber girl had
concealed the crime for more than a
year should make 1t imperative that
she be held not as a witness, but as
defendant, as a supressor of crime
Three witnesses, who were arrested
by the police Friday night, Sue Brown
Clark, Lucy Ems and Joseph Seritel-
la, did not appear this morning.
Bovina was indicted of the murder
OF Misrendino at the trial last year,
and 1t was thought by many that the
trouble had "blown over" However,
owing to statements made during the
past few days by witnesses present at
the time of the shooting, it was made
necessary for the police to take fur
ther action in the matter, consequent
ly the rearrest of Bovina and wit
nesses.
Mr.. McDenmit, counsel for Bovina,
will bring the case to an issue as soon
as possible.

CONTRACTORS FOR
NEW ALMSHOUSE
WOULD WITHDRAW
E. M. WaIdron Firm Wishes TO
Be Relieved of Further
Responsibility.

Edward NJ. Waldron, Inc, contrac-
tors for the new almshouse at Ivy
Hill. will ask the Board of Works, at
its meeting next Thursday to be re-
lieved of any further responsibility
in connection with the contract, and
request payment for the work already
done. This action will be taken be-
cause of the delay in furnishing the
almshouse, and the city may have to
pay considerably in excess of the
$3.50 900 provided by contract made
last October.
The Waldron firm will lay the
blame for delay on the city and rep
resent that the buildings, under the
terms of the contract, were to have
been completed and ready for oc-
cupancy last July. Operations pro-
ceeded slowly until last April, but
nothing has been done since that
time.
Edward NJ Waldron, head of the
contracting firm, says that the sub
contractor who has charge of the ex-
cavations must pay $3.50 a day for
lobor now, and 1t is scarce at that
price. Last October, he says, labor
was abundant at $1.35 a day. Steel
Jas jumped in price; brick has ad-
vanced more than 81 a thousand, and
cement has increased ten cents y
barrel.
