Every season OF the year.

Jones Murder Case
To Be Tried Here
FIRST CRIMINAL CASE IN new COUNTY
Held On Charge OF Killing c. E. PIunkett Near
PIummer On December First

The first murder trial likely to
be held in the new county of
Benewah is that of II. c.. Jones,
Ia homesteader whose residence
is near Pedie, a few miles east
of Plummer.
On Tuesday, December ist,
Jones shot and killed a man by
the name of C. E. Plunkett. The
shooting occurred at Jones cabin
plunkett and his brother had
come out from Spokane to the
cabin in the forenoon, bringing
several bottles of liquor with
them. The men were drinking
all day and in the course of the
afternoon C e Pmnkett and Jones
became very drunk and cOmmenc-
ed quarreling. Finally Jones
picked up his gun and shot
plunkett, killing him instantly.
Plunketrs brother gave the
alarm and Deputy Sheriff Sawyer
went out that evening. He found
Jones asleep in a chair in the
cabin and his victim lying on the
bed. Jones was arrested and
taken to Coeur d'Alene and plac-
ed in the county Jail where he
has been since that time await
ing trial Saturday the county
attorney filed an information
charging him with murder in the
second degree. AS the crime
was committed in what is now
Benewah county County Attorney
Wernette will endeavor to have
the trial take place in this county
i'm order to have the new county
bear the expenses instead of
Kootenai county.
There is some question as ia
in which county the trial should
be held, some holding that as the
TERRITORY was in Kootenai county
at the time the crime was COM
mitted that county still has jur-
isdiction of the case and will be
obliged to stand the expense oil
the trial while others maintain
that as Jones must be tried in
the county where the crime wa:
! committed and as his cabin il
now in Benewah county, he mus
! be tried here and the new count.
! will have to stand the EXPENSE
of the trial.

CleaFy Home
Destroyed By Fire

M. C. Cleary's residence on his
farm about a mile southeast of
The city was entirely destroyed
by fire Friday afternoon. The
fire broke out about five o'clock
and burned fiercely. 1t caught
in the roof from a defective
nue and spread so rapidly that
in a very few minutes the entire
building was wrapped in flames.
Although the family was at
home the fire spread so rapidly
that it was impossible to remove
the household goods from the
house and the entire contents as
well as the building were destroy
ed. The building and contents
were valued at from twelve to
fifteen hundred dollars. There
was no insurance and the loss
was a total one.
Mr.. Cleary expects TO rebuild
in the spring and will put up a
fine modern residence in place
of the one burnt.
