ANNOUNCEMENT!

In the past Blackfoot has been flood.
ed with limited and industrial accident
and health policies which were not what
they seemed and which were not worth
the money charged for them. I have
been approached by numerous companies
to sell these contracts, but I have al
ways refused for the reason that the
contracts were not good enough to put
out as q "Beebe Policy"
Today I announce to my friends that
have found an Industrial Health and
Accident contract which is free from
restrictions and which meets my re-
quirements and behind which I am will
ing to place my name and insurance
reputation. This policy pays for all
sicknesses and accidents, has no house
confinement clause, and is absolutely
ffee from jokers; It pays for loss OF
tune from any cause. Premiums can
be paid monthly. All honest claims win
be adjusted by Beebe and promptly
paid.
Have ample exclusive territory and
can use good solicitor who has capa-
city for hard, honest endeavor and the
strength Of character to keep straight
and sell insurance RIGHT none
other need apply.
G. S. BEEBE.

after while | was waiting for an execu-
NON ON my complaint, the deputy sheriff
arrived on the scene and beckoned me
out, saving he was going to arrest me
land take me to Blackfoot l repeatedly
refused to go with him, when he Gov
cred me with sixshooter, handcuffed
anu forced me into an auto and brought
me to Blackfoot where l was thrown
INTO dirty, unhealthy cell without the
privilege OF consulting judge or at
torney. After spending sltepless and
very dlsagreeable night in durance vile
was brought before Judge Doud and
made a plea of not guilty and secured
my liberty on my own cash bond of SIS.
y was very indignant at the way the
ofncer unnecessarily and apparently
Ipurposely had tried to injure me and my
stock, and told him that if had had a
gun at the time / would have killed
him.
The jury in body visited the scene
on the county road where the alleged
onense was committed against the dep
[uty sheriff, and all agreed that the Of
neer had plenty of good road to either
slow down or turn off, and thus avoid
this suit which cost the county $50, and
worked a hardship and an expense on
q stranger who should not have been
molested, much less arrested and SUBJ
Jected to gross humiliation and incon-
venience. They were unanimous in the
belief that the officer was altogether
too hasty with his gun, as he had plenty
|of assistance to make the arrest with
out threatening the lawyers life and
otherwise mistreating him.
The jury in the case consisted of Max
smith, N. Boyle, Temp Hopkins, c. c.
Clark, w. +. Brown and Ira Stewart.
Mr. j. l.. Dodge informed several of
the Jurymen that he intended bringing
$4,000 damage suit against the off.

iatlon, abuse and damage he sustained
by reason Of his assault and arrest

IMPORTANT SES-
SION OF SOLONS

The city council met in regular scs-
sion last Tuesday night with a quorum
present and Mayor Peek presiding.
The minutes of the previous meeting
were read by Clerk Roy DeKay and
approved.
The bin of Mr.. Fink for the breaking
OF his wagon on the public thorough
fare was presentend and discussed. and
after due consideration was refused on
the ground that the council was not
aware of the condition of the street
that caused Mr.. Fink IS damage.
The bills of all special police hired
for the Fair We're referred to the Fair
association for payment.
The bill of N. +. Boyle for installing
a water system in the cemetery was
allowed and referred to the Cemetery
committee for investigation and to have
the contracts signed up.
Mayor Peck called the attention of
the council to the deplorably filthy con-
clifton of some of the alleys of the city
anu urged it to take steps to have the
same cleaned up and kept that way.
ihe departure Of Councilman Van
Bramer from the city brought up the
vacancy in the office of the chief of the
fire department which has been caused
by that gentleman IS departure, he hav.
ing acted in that important capacity.
The council after considerable discus
sion of the matter came to the conclu-
sion that the city should have a paid
fire chief who should live in the city
hall and devote his entire time to ne
protection and care of the city. Tbs
time of paid fire chief could profitab!y
be used in many ways, among others,
the care of the fire apparatus and the
streets. W. H. Groseclose seemed to
be the unanimous choice of the council
for fire chief if his experienced SER
vices could be obtained.
The following collections were report
ed by city officials for September:
chief of police, $40; police Judge, $50;
eity sexton, $50.
NJ. Volpert was granted permission to
build house in DanielsOn addition,
15x24 to cost 800.
About 145 pupils of the Blackfoot
high school petitioned the council to
construct the municipal skating pond in
the fair GROUNDS AS SOON as possible.
The Improvement committee was en-
powered to hire civil engineer to ex-
anime several power sites on the Black
foot river and elsewhere for a. munici-
pal lighting plant and report at the next
meeting.
Two new drinking fountains have
been ordered to supplant those now in
use on the streets that have become un-

obstructing the public highway, wa.
heard in the probate court last Tuesday
when the jury, after deliberation OF
twenty minutes found the defendant not
guilty Of the charge preferred against

and educated gentleman, and claims to
have been member Of the New York

Tended by Attorney Harry Holden, and

timony, which in substance, is as fol.
lows:
''On the day Of my arrest, I was
raveling along the county highway with
my outfit, which consisted of a two horse
buggy, which was driven by my driver,
and several head of loose horses, one of
which l rode and led the others. When
about three miles this side Of Shelley
heard an automobile behind me honk-
ing and told the driver of the vehicle
to turn off. The noise Of the auto fright
ened the horse l was leading and he
tried to get away, but / took up the
slack Of his rope as soon as I could,
but not before the auto dashed by me in
such close proximity that 1 at first
thought some Of my stock had been in
jured, and / determined to, arrest the
driver of the auto who came SO near
running me down, as he had plenty of
room and good road to avoid frighten-
ing my stock. Soon after the auto had
passed me l met a farmer who informed
me that the driver of the auto was Dep
uty Sheriff Damn, and his companions
were Detective Dave Chamberlain and
Attorney Beebe.
When I got to Shelley repaired to
the Office of the justice of the peace

against Deputy Sheriff Damn, and soon

The Supreme court, in two opinions
handed down on Tuesday, decided in
favor of the State and against Secun-
dino Amaechevvaria, S. F. Horn, John
Eiler and John Calvin, all sheep men
charged with trespass upon cattle
ranges, and affirmed the constitution
ality Of section 6S27, revised codes,
quoted above. The decision is of vital
interest to all engaged in the cattle
and sheep industry in Idaho, defining,
as it does, the range rights of both
interests. There were two actions,
identical in nature, one against Omae
chevviari, and the other against Horn.
Eiler and Calvin. The Omaechevviari
case was appealed by the defendant
from the decision of Judge Carl A.
Davis of the Third Judicial district,
Owyhee county, who gave Judgment for
the State, which the Supreme court af-
firmed. The case of Horn, ct al, was
appealed by the State from the Sixth
Judicial district, Custer county, where
Judge J. M. Stevens gave Judgment for
the defendants, which judgment the
Supreme court reversed. Both opinions
were written by Justice Bulge and con
CURED in by Chief Justice Sullivan and
Justice Morgan. In both cases the de-
PENDANTS were charged with herding,
grazing and pasturing sheep upon a eat,
tie range in violation of section 6S72,
revised codes.
In Lower Courts
The Custer county case was tried in
a justice court before jury which
found the defendants guilty. They APP
pealed to the district court and Judge
Stevens granted the motion of the de
PENDANTS to dismiss the ease on the
ground that section 6S72, revised codes,
was class legislation and therefore un-
The Owyhee county case began in the
probate court of that county where
judgment against the defendant was
given. Appeal was taken to the dis
trict court where the jury found the
defendant guilty.
In it's opinion in the Custer county
case the Supreme court says:
State Has Police Power
"The public domain is not the prop
erty Of the respondents, (the sheep |
men), but Of the United States. The |
respondents have an equal right with |
