all my life in the south and expect
to die and be buried in the south !"

JURY FAILED TO AGREE
Second Trial of Lewis and Johnson
Resulted in Hung Jury.

The second trial of Lewis and john
son, who are charged by the Gridley
brothers of Hagerman, with stealing a
number Of horses, came to an end Sat-
urday. The jury after being out for
some time failed to reach an agree
ment. AS soon as was reported dis
agreement. the jury was dis-charg-
ed and a special panel called.
AS the Times goes to press the case is
being heard by the new jury
On Monday afternoon the county at
torney asked permission from the
court to endorse several new witness
es on the information, which was
granted by the court The attor-
neys for the defense then asked that
the case be continued until the next
term of court, as the defense was not
prepared at that time to combat the
testimony of the new witnesses. This
was granted by Judge Babcock The
other cases against Lewis and John
son were also continued until the
next term of court.

CAPTURED EAGLE WITH FORD
Wendell Men Demonstrate Wonderful
Adaptability Of Henry's Pet.

Last Saturday as H. L. Moody and
son, Harold. were returning from
Jerome they caught a large brown
eagle. which they brought home with
them and took out to the ranch
The only weapons they had was
their little Ford car Mr.. Eagle had
evidently just partaken OF an ample
meal of some kind and was leisurely
strolling down the road when they
came upon him They gave chase
and his eagleship attempted to fly,
but was so heavy from his meal that
he made a poor effort, not being able
to get far above the brush along the
road. After a 300 yard dash they
came up with him and forced him into
the brush, where he was easily cap
tured. With a belt and string from
one OF their shoes they bound the
captive and placed him in the back of
the car. where he enjoyed probably
what was his first auto ride. Wen

BOARD IS
TO INVESTIGATE
Will Meet Salmon River Settlers
Next Saturday.
EXPECTS TO HAVE FULL MEN,
BERSHIP AT HOLLISTER
Settlers Are Urged to Appear Before
Governor and Board to Discuss
Troubles.

Governor Alexander and the major
ity of the state Land Board will come
To Hollister next Saturday for the
purpose of finding at first hand the
real condition OF the settlers upon that
unhappy project. A letter received
BY some of the prominent members Of
the Salmon River Settlers assOcia-
ton stated that all Of the land board
with the exception of the State Su-
perintendent Of Public Instruction,
would be in Hollister on the one o.
clock train and asked for a conference
Of all the actual settlers and holders
OF water rights upon the Salmon.
In this respect 1t should be i'm
pressed upon the water users of that
tract. that this conference is not boz
tween the Salmon River Settlers as
ISOLATION anu the Land Board, but a
meeting in which all holders of wa
ter rights are invited to participate.
The coming Of the Land Board to
the Salmon tract means much to the
settlers and was very wise move on
the part of the Land Board. Other
wise the settlers would have had an
expensive journey to Boise, which
some of them could Ill afford.

the hands of receiver today when
Judge Boutwell, Of the Fourth judicial
district appointed D. G. MacWatters
receiver of the Miner K North Side
railway which runs from Miner to
Oakley. The receivership appointment
was made upon application of E. S.

superintendent of both lines
The Idaho Southern railroad, which
runs from Gooding to Jerome, was
built eight years ago and comprises
23 miles of standard gauge track The
line from Miner to Oakley was built
six years ago and is 90 miles in
length. Both lines were built by the
Kuhns in their Twin Falls North Side
development work and for time it
was believed both roads would de-
yelop into paying lines, but the
branching out of the Oregon Short
Line serving a good part of the same
territory, caused falling off in bust
ness and for several years neither line
has paid operating expenses and for
the past two years the deficit has
been heavy.
D. c. MacWatters, who has been
general manager of both lines and its
familiar with the operation of the
roads, will be in control as receiver

TRIAL OF new HAVEN CASE
Government Introduces Evidence to
Show Intent to MOnOpOlize.

New York = An alleged act of in
tent to monopolize, committed within
the three-year period of the state of
limitations by former directors of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad, II of whom are on trial
charged with criminal violation of the
jury Friday.
The alleged offense consisted of the
1912 of proposition to acquire "open
control of the Merchants & Miners
Transportation company and to estab-
lish freight line from Boston to CAL
weston and through the Panama canal
when it should be completed.
While it was shown that the PROPOSE
ton was never carried into effect, be-
cause Of the passage OF legislation by
congress forbidding railroads to own
steamship lines passing through the
Panama canal, the governments pur-
pose in introducing the testimony was
to show that the intent to mOnopoIize
the transportation of New England,
nevertheless, existed. All of the de-
fendants.. except Lewis Cass Ledyard
and Edwin %. Robbins, were recorded
as present at the meeting at which the
vote was taken and correspondence
read into the record appears to in
tiicate that Ledyard and Robbins were
cognizant of the scheme.
The defense, on the other hand,
plans to show that the contemplated
line was benefit to the people OF
New England and was proposed to be
established in response to demand
for such service.
