PROBATE COURTS
ARE RAPED HARD
OPINION OF COUNTY ATTORNEY
MOORE BARS EMPLOYMENT OF
DEPUTIES OR CLERKS
Claim of Ruth Mcdonald Held Up BY
County BOard-Office of County Su-
perintendent Also Affected

Probate Judge w. F. Morgareidge
is not entitled to a deputy or clerk
in his office, according to an opinion
rendered to the county commissioners
in writing by County Attorney Frank
L. Moore, and this opinion is the ba-
sis on which the county board has
held up the claim of Ruth Mcdonald,
amounting to $42.5O for transcribing
records in the office of Judge Nor
gareidge.
If the contention of the county at
torney is correct, probate judges and
county superintendents in practically
every county in the state where dep
uties are employed, are being en-
ployed illegally and cannot be paid
by county funds. Mr.. Moore's opin-
ion is extensive and quotes the law
and decisions of the supreme court
He asserts the claim Of Miss McDon-
aid is not a valid one and says there
is no constitutional authority for the
appointment of deputy in the offices
of the probate court and county su-
perintendent, though in the office of
the superintendent there may be en-
ployed deputy or clerk under GER
tain circumstances.

SEEKING DAMAGES
FOR GIRLS DEATH
CLAIM FILED IN PROBATE COURT
AGAINST ESTATE OF FRANK
WILSON
Ask Payment of $1942 From Proceeds
of Murderer's Estate-FirSt Case of
the Kind Ever Presented

An echo of the murder of Edna
Erickson on October 25th last, by
Frank Wilson who suicided later,
developed today when a claim
was filed in the probate court
of Latah county by the parents of the
murdered girl, Mr.. and Mrs. A. E.
Erickson, seeking from the Wilson
estate damages approximating the
sum of $1942.
The claim is the first of the kind
ever filed in the probate court and
Judge Morgareidge is busily engaged
in looking up the law and precedents
with a view of acting on the claim
when the estate comes up for final
distribution. The court declares it to be
a knotty problem, but the contention
of the attorneys in the case, J. E. Mis-
bet and Orland and Lee, is based on
a section in the constitution of the
state of Idaho which provides for
damages of this character.
So far as known at this time the
estate of Frank Wilson amounts to
between $500 and $500. 1t is the op-
inion the authorities that Wilson had
several thousand dollars on deposit
in a Spokane bank, but have not as
yet unearthed anything to indicate
where the funds are deposited Not
since the murder nor the discovery of
Wilson's decomposed remains near
the Erickson home have the authorit-
les been able to locate the parents of
the murderer 1t is known that among |
his effects found at Rosalia were pa
pers and possibly bank book, but !
the Rosalia officer making the search !
has never reported what he found.
The complaint says: This claim
is based on the wrongful act of the
said Frank Wilson, deceased, by and
on account of his shooting and killing
Edna Erickson" One item is a claim
Of $1S5 for the expenses in the care
If Mandea W. Erickson, the mother
If the deceased girl, and loss of serv-
ces to the present time. The sum of
51237 is asked as damages for perm
anent injury to the health and physic-
II inability to work on the part of
Mandea w. Erickson which is believed
o be permanent, and placing her
lge at 46 years, with life expecta-
ion of 1880 years, at the rate of 500
,er week. The INDECENT circum-
tances of the claimants and the loss
n services of the murdered girl are
alued at $500.

Much may happen between this date
July p and the anniversary of the
war, but taking things as they are
the Allies have every reason for con-
gratulations
No one can deny that when war
broke out Germany had a great num-
erical superiority of men actually
available, and a huge preponderance
of howitzers, high explosive shells,
machine guns and other necessities
of modern warfare. A power which
KNOWS that war will break out at a
certain date has that certain advan-
tage over powers which only fear
that it may come sooner or later.
Yet by some miracle the Germans
were stopped after a month of great
success ,and from that the balance
has gradually come more level.
This would have occurred sooner
had it not been that Great Britain
did not get her slow ponderous
strength to bear at once But under
the stimulus of foolish Zeppelin at
tacks and bombardments of water
ing places, with the murder of fish
ermen and merchant sailors, there
has come "a temper in this country
which has never been seen before and
which enables us now to bend our
whole energy to the task without re-
course to those methods of compul
sion which are hateful to our conc ~
ions of freedom. The war would
never have been taken so seriously
)y our easy-going people had it not

n indulging in these senseless brut-
llities which have frightened no one
,ut which have exasperated every
me, so that any government which
a compromise would not

anne end.
The result is that Great Britain will

MAKES DECISION
IN PENLAND CASE
JUDGE EDGAR c. STEELE HANDS
DOWN OPINION IN SUIT OF
LONG STANDING
Holds That lien Against Defendant
Carlton is Invalid d-Judgment
Against PenIand

A case of long standing in the
district court involving a Judgment
lien was disposed of today when
Judge Edgar c. Steele handed down
an opinion in the case of Barnum &
Barnum, contractors of Kendrick
versus Carlton and Bun Penland of
Juliaetta, the court holding that a
lien filed against Carlton was invalid
but finding for the plaintiffs and for
Carlton as against Penland.
The suit has been fought through
two different sessions of court, Mar
ion T. Curry of Moscow, having been
attorney for Carlton in both cases
and winning victory over E. A. Cox,
a prominent Lewiston attorney The
decision follows:
In this case, the court, on the prev
ious trial found in favor of the plain
tiff and against Bun Penland, and in
favor of the defendant Carlton as
against the plaintiffs, granted a new
trial on the request of the plaintiff
The plaintiff claiming that it had ad-
testimony to offer as against
defendant Carlton.
THE plaintiff in the present trial
asks to foreclose the lien on file,
but looks particularly to the personal
liability of Carlton, regardless of the
lien.
After the most careful considera-
lion of all the facts and the briefs
fled in this case, the court is unable
% arrive at any other conclusion than
hat arrived at in the original trial
If this cause.
''The defendant Carlton has paid
o the contractor Penland every dol
ar of the contract price, and the
plaintiff now asks that Carlton pay it
gain in the amount of over $500, on
he theory that Carlton is personally
liable. In order to make any kind of
contract, the minds of the con-
racting parties must meet, and agree |
n the conditions of the contract. The |
ourt cannot find from the evidence
hat there was such meeting of the |
lindS in this case.
1T must be remembered that all of
ne requests for payment upon the
ontract price were made by the
laintiff to Penland, until about the |
me for filing lien to expire, and |
-ere not made to Carlton; that de-
,ndant Penland was a contractor,
ho was contracting in many other
ases, and that the plaintiff compa-
Y in such other cases was looking
, Penland as a contractor for per-
,nal liability. That payments were
ade by Penland which were credit
/ on this account, and that no pay
ents were ever made by Carlton to
le plaintiff company.
"The burden of proof is upon the
ajntiff company. The evidence is
rectly contradictory between the
aintiff and Bun Penland as to what
me of the conversations were, and
SO as between plaintiff and defend I
It Carlton. 1t is merely question
memory, and it is not strange that I

Celebrate War Declaration
LONDON, Aug, 4,-Humility and a
recognition of its weakness replaced
the blind confidence of a year ago
when Great Britain today in thou

spirit there was stronger determin-
alton for victory.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Exporting
interest of the country are riled by
the British notes rejecting all Amer
lean demands as to the rights of
neutral commerce under England's
blockade of Germany and neutral
European ports.
"Poppycock and monumental
bluff" is the way Marion Butler, the
big cotton grower and former Uni
ted States senator, characterized the
British position and Sir Grey's state
ment that the measures against which
the United States protested be con-
tinued.
Senator Buffers opinion is repre-
sentative of the entire cotton inter-
ests. Senator Butler said that the
United States had fought in 1872 with
less provocation, and representatives
of the packers and others exporting
interests displayed a similar attitude.
What President Wilson ought to
do is to send battleship along with
every cotton ship or every ship carry
ing food and clothing as an interna-
tional policeman to protect our
rights" said Butler.

fIfaLt


Chorea, or st. Vitus' Dance I, Il
an acute, probably infections
fnot contagious, but of bacterial
origin disease which runs a course
OF several weeks or months and ter
inmates in complete recoyery--if the
patient is not injured by ill-adyised
treatment, 1t is characteristicalIy
disease of children of school age. and
or children in homeopathic families
that is families with tendancy TO
nervous troubles. AS for cures the
particular mode OF treatment, or
charm, or prayer, or neglect, which
happenes to be in use toward the lat
ter end of the attack gets the credit
Whereas nature produces the cure.
The important part of medical treat
ment for chorea is to protect the child
from injurious things.
As for the cause, the nervous ten
dency or vulnerability has already
been mentioned. If the parents or
others of the household are ''ner-
vous's the child will be, by associa-
ton and by reason of bad habits
such as being up late nights, poor
control Of temper, too ready gratifi-
cation of every trifling craving, and
faulty discipline in general.
But there is one common abuse
which we think should be stopped
SO many little ones in the lower
grades of school are drilled to take
part in performances '-and about
the time the great performance is
to take place, the poor little over
driven child develops chorea, directly
as a result of the nervous strain in
cident to the preparation, and in spite
of the fact that the little one is APP
parently anxious and pleased to take
part.
Anything that makes a child self
conscious, gives Ideas of superiority
over the general average of young
folks, or exhibits childish accomplish
ments-no, not childish, but pre-
cocious accomplishments-to the pub
lie is bad for that child's nervous
system. Perhaps little private school
room speaking or entertainments
without outsiders present, are bene-
fetal, If sensibly managed by a teach
err who knows the danger of stimulat-
ing vanity. But performances in
which the innocent school child Is
made a show actor or allowed tC
play a part entirely unsuited to q
child's nature, We care not who con
ducts them, are not.
We beg of all our readers who have
children of school age that they take
firm stand in this matter, in Tho
interests of the childrens future
health. When you push" chile
you are bound to hurt him. Keel
your children childlike. Don't try t
make vain little old men and womel
OF them-and don't let the teache
do so either --Dr. Brady.
