ASSAULT, BATTERY, JAIL

Sunday night witnessed a row
down on the Wye between Homer
Pope and Charles F. (Dock) Osborn.
1t seems that Pope was a guest in
the house and that without provoca-
tion Dock insulted him and then,
figuratively, rubbed it in Report
has it that they exchanged blows
quickly and violently, with the result
that Osborn was knocked out in two
respects-he was knocked out in the
sporting sense and he was also
knocked out the door and left in
sensible. A bucket of water dashed
on him added little to his comfort,
and later he was taken in and his
wounds dressed.
On Monday both men made state
ments of the case before Judge Doud
and Pope was excused and Osborn
committed to 80 days in the bastile

REMODELING AT BIG STORE

The Brown-Hart store is being re-
modelled to give more convenient

The cases and shelving have been
moved and much decorating is being
done by Mike Bischoff the painter

SOME FINE HONEY

J. H. Stoneman, local bee inspec-
tor, has introduced glass jars and
pulp cups for containers for honey
for retailing and by this means keeps
it under seal until 1t is ready to
serve. Every container bears the
label of the producer or packer and,
like Idaho butter, can be easily trac-
ed back IL it is desirable to do SO.
Mr.. Stoneman recently secured
some honey from A. ]. Snyder at
Springfield, gathered almost entirely
from alfalfa bloom that was grown
for seed, and it had such pronounc-
ed and delicate flavor he sent jar
of it to the secretary of the honey
producers association of the British
Isles. This office received jar of

hurst.

MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL
Canvassing the Vote

On Friday evening the city coun-
Gil met to canvass the official vote
and after going over the books found
them correct. The tie reported be-
tween the candidates for clerk,
Wright and DeKay and that between
Clark and Hess for councilman from
the fir.t ward were settled by draw
ing lots in the following way.
Mayor West took cigar box and
placed two small pieces of card board
in it, each bearing the name of a
candidate After shaking and, turn
ing the box to mix the positions OF
the card boards, Councilman Bond
was invited to take out the winner,
the box being held high enough so
he could not see into 1t when he
approached it. He took out DeKay
and he was declared elected.
The law provides that a tie be-
tween candidates for the council shall
be decided by lot by the judges OF
the election from the ward where
the tie occurs, and Mrs. Martha Quill
lin, Mrs. George Ezell and Mr.. e. G..
Stephens did the drawing in the same
manner as the other. Mrs. Ezell
drew the lot and it read, "Hesse. "
Congratulations were extended to the
winners and Councilman Bond re-
marked that members of the Citizens
ticket were in line for all the good
luck. Mayor West said he guessed
they had the hoodoo on the Repub-
licans, and Frank DeKay retorted
that It was a Democratic year.
After the proper motions were
made and adopted to complete the
records the council adjourned.
The official count stands as fol-
lows:

H. F. ALLEN IS
ACQUITTED BY JURY

H. F. Allen, brother and business
partner of o. v. Allen, former state
treasurer, who was conducting a
ranch near Twin Falls, was put on
trial at Boise recently charged with
being a party to the embezzlement
of state funds, and was acquitted.
Wallis Pleads Guilty
James H. Wallis, former pure food
commissioners, charged with issuing
warrants in payment of employees
for month when they had worked
only 20 days, entered plea of guilty
and was fined $500.
The explanation was that the men
were entitled to a vacation and he
planned to give them ten days each
out of the month In question Other
charges against him were; embezzl-
ing refrigerator-he said he had it
at his residence because he did much
of his testing there, and he admitted
that he used it also for keeping his
own butter and things in. 1t was
returned promptly to the capitol
when he resigned. He had paid a
printing bill of $22 that was not
satisfactorily explained, and tele-
gram of ten or 12 that was not con-
sidered public charge. On the pay
ment of the $500 fine all the suits
were dismissed.
Mr.. Wallis is said to have been
very much crushed by the charges
hanging over him, and wanted to
have 1t over.

BYRD TRECO
IS ACQUITTED

At the trial of Byrd Trego last
Monday on the charge OF carrying
and using weapon, the case was
heard by a jury in Judge Doud's
court and verdict of acquittal rend-
cred.
The circumstances were those at
tending the Trego-Ireland fight on
the street April 19, when Ireland told
Trego to keep his name out OF the
paper, Trego replied that he reserved
the right to decide those things for
himself. and Ireland struck Trego
in the face. Trego drew a loaded
quirt and dealt Ireland two blows
and was seized by an officer.
The laws of Idaho make it mis-
demeanor to carry weapon, but
justifies it if the person carrying it
has been threatened with violence or
bodily harm. Thego introduced wit
nesses to show that he had been
threatened many times in many
months, and that attempts had been
made to carry out the threats and
only on the one occasion had he
ever drawn a weapon. He had pick
ed no fuss lat any time, had tried to
keep out OF them and in carrying
weapon had acted on the advice Of a
number of friends who were convinc-
ed of the necessity of being prepar-
ed for violence from two or more
persons at time.
The case was prosecuted by act.
ing County Attorney J. E. Good, who
tried to introduce Mr.. Trego's RE
ducing the Taxes" work as basis
for the conclusion that Trego was 9
legitimate subject for insult or at
tack. Mr.. Hansbrough, who defend
ed Trego, took the view that that
had nothing to do with the case but
that If it had, and if Trego published
things about people that were libel
GUS as Mr.. Good claimed, the law pro
vides a means of relief for them ir
the courts and If there was libel the
injured ones could take their griev
ance into court and claim redress fol
any wrong committed, but they hat
no right to take the law into theil
own hands and resort to violence.

THE business Of vending George

John A. Washington. for conversion by
a well known citizen of Washington of

many OF these relics are still preserved
in American households.
