TRECO ALLOWED
TO GO ARMED

The ease of the State VS.. Byrd Trego,
editor of the Idaho Republican, charged
with carrying and exhibiting deadly
weapon in a rude and threatening man
ner, was tried by jury in Probate
Court last Monday.
The weapon in the case, a loaded
slung shot, was taken from Trego by
Deputy Sheriff Thompson while he was
engaged in street brawl with John
Ireland, who was arrested, convicted
and fined $50. The deadly club was re-
turned to Trego by Deputy Sheriff
Henry Damn with the declaration that
the weilder Of it was a citizen of Black
foot and had perfect right to have it
concealed on his person. The bellig
Grant editor never denied its possess
sion and attempted use, and his attorney
g. w. Hansbrough, argued before tho
jury that he had right to the posses
sion and protection Of any unlawful
weapon if there was an outstanding
threats against him. The defendant also
swore that L. Ivan Jensen, an ex-
lprobate Judge and former resident Of
Blackfoot, once upon time told him
he had q right to carry arms if he con-
sidered his life in danger. Two Of
Trego's employees testified that their
employer g peace had been threate, ~.
and Attorney BeakleyS swore that l.
had heard that threats were ma y
against the editor. Doc. Hoover was
also very deeply interested witness
for the defendant, and swore that he
also had heard rumors Of threats
against him, but like Mr.. Beakley dis
closed not the name Of the parties max
ing such alleged threats.
The contention Of Attorneys Dickin-
son and Beebe, which was approved by
Attorney Good, who was acting as prose-
cutting attorney, that the defendent did
not have right to the possession of an
unlawful and concealed weapon, was
disregarded by the jury who brought in
a verdict of not guilty. The following
jury in the ease were summoned by
Deputy Sheriff Damn: N. e. MOntgom-
cry, Frank Garvin, Max Smith, 8. w.
Gibbs, Jas. Pendlebury and J. H. Hun
saker.

The bill of $67.50, presented by Mr..
Trego for publishing the city ballot one
time, was seriously objected to by the
finance committee and council, one of
whom denounced it as "highway rob-
berry, Trego himself admitted that it
was very excessive, but on his own
exclusive theory that the mayor, coun-
cilmen and all other city employees were
exorbitant in their fees, he thought he
had a right to charge all the traffic
would bear. The matter was finally
referred to the city attorney to deter
mine the legality Of the bill.
The business of the old board having
been finished and, the members of the
new council being present, Mayor West
exacted of them their oath Of office,
when they assumed their official duties
as councilmen in most harmonious
and friendly manner.
After assuming the office of mayor
and presiding officer Of the city coun-
|cil, E. T. Peck asked the council for
their hearty support and cooperation
in the administration Of city affairs,
and promised his in return. He also in
structed his appointees to see that every
ordinance of the city and state are
rigidly and impartially enforced, espe-
cially those relating to the floating
population and the obstructing of
street crossings for more than ten min
| utes at time. The council were unan-
imous in having this nuisance and dan
ger abated, and some of the councilmen
were in favor of having the ten minutes
for switching and watering reduced to
five minutes by ordinance. Mayor Peck
and City Attorney Thomas thought that
the blockading of the streets was due
more to the fault of the railroad EN-
ployees than their superiors, and that
| if the latter were notified the crossings
would be kept clear without the aid of
police or new ordinance. The council
concurred in the opinion of their mayor
and attorney, and the clerk was mott
fled to forward copy of the present
ordinance and the action of the council
to the proper railroad authorities.
The following able and impressive ad-
dress was delivered by Mayor Peck
when he assumed his official role:
