AffirmS Judgment
Against J. F. Cox

The supreme court has af-
flrmed the judgment of Judge
Dunn in the district court for
Kootenai county given for Chas.
Dairy in his suit against J. f.
Cox to foreclose a lien. The
judgment for Dairy was for $500
and the costs of the action.
Dairy was engaged by Cox to
haul for him 5000 cedar poles at
Santa in this county and the con-
tract was performed. In order
to secure wages due for the work
Dairy filed a lien on COx's prop
erty. The supreme court finds
that Dairy had legitimate
claim against Cox and was en-
titled to collect and aflirms the
judgment to foreclose the lien.
The opinion is written by Justice
William Morgan and is concurred
in by his associates.

Take II. {. Jones
To Penitentiary

H. c.. Jones, whose sentence to
the penitentiary for from two to
ten years by Judge Dunn was re-
Gently affirmed by the supreme
court, was taken to Spokane
Tuesday evening by Deputy Sher-
if ToOhey to meet the guard from
the penitentiary at Boise, who
came up to get him. When they
reached Spokane they found the
guard had gone to Wallace. He
returned Wednesday afternoon
and left with Jones for Boise
yesterday morning.
Jones was convicted of man
slaughter at the spring term of
court and appealed the case to
the supreme court. He re-
manned in the county Jail here
while his case was pending in the
supreme court. Under the law,
the time of his sentence starts
when he arrives at the peniten-
tiary and not when he was SEN
fenced so he will get no credit
on his sentence for the several
months that he was in Jail here
after the trial. It has been about
fourteen months since Jones was
arrested for the offense and he
has spent all of that time in the
county Jail at Coeur 'Alende and
here, more than half as long as
the minimum time OF his sem
tence.

FUreClOSe Lien
On House Boat

R. B. Norris, as attorney for
w. T. Berry, has filed a suit in
the district court to foreclOse a
lien upon a boat house now lying
in the st. Joe river, and said to
be the property of E. M. Bowan.
The complaint alleges that the
plaintiff performed labor and fur
nished material in making repairs
on the boat house at a contract
price of S2O.iO, with E. M. BOwan
the alleged owner, for which he
has never been paid. He alleges
that he filed a labOrer's lien for
the amount and that the expenses
of said filing we're 5000. That
J. R. Thomas and Tony Bordeen
claim some interest in the boat
house but that their interest, if
any, is subsequent to and subject
to said lien.
A judgment for S2O.iO and
costs, together with $4,000 attor-
ney's fees is asked for, and that
the lien on the premises be fore
lclosed.

Expenditure to be Limited to One Hundred Dollars
For Fifty root Frontage

A meeting of property owners
in the proposed improvement
district in the western part of the
city was held Wednesday even
ing in City Engineer Paul Rus
sells Office in the Lumbermens
bank building to listen to the re-
port of the committee which had
appeared before the council at its
meeting Monday evening.
The committee reported that
although the council had no
power to delegate its authority in
regard to street grading to a COM
mittee of property owners, the
street and alley committee would
be pleased to act with a commit
tee of property owners and to
consult them in all matters in re-
gard to the Improvement. They
will make such improvements as
the property owners wish, leave
the plans and specifications to
item and enter into no contract

tee and will leave it to this COM
mittee and the engineer TO see
that the plans and specifications
are faithfully carried out.
The report and the attitude of
the council was satisfactory to
the property owners present and
it was decided to go ahead with
the improvements planned. City
Engineer Russell was requested
and agreed to prepare profiles and
lplans showing the work to be
done and to prepare a petition
asking for the improvement to be
circulated among the property
owners. This petition will be
circulated by the committe previ-
ously appointed.
Although there is some opposi-
ton among the property owners
to any street improvement, the
committee believes that it will be
able to secure the signatures OF
the necessary evenly per cent oI

Booth, night officer, was stand
ing in front of the Record office
and saw a man come out from be-
hind the Lumbermen's Hotel with
a sack on his shoulder. His
actions were suspicious and
Booth stepped out from the door
way to get a better view of him.
The man saw him and went back
out of sight.
Booth walked to the corner and
turned up First street. He
stepped behind a telephone pole
and kept watch. After waiting
some time the man again ap-
peared and went across the street
and behind the Idaho pool room
with his sack. Booth followed
and placed him under arrest and
found five sacks of coal.
The man, who gave his name as
Charles Watts, denied all know
ledge of the coal. There was
coal dust on his clothing and
after being taken to the Jail and
questioned he finally confessed to
stealing the coal and stated that
man whose name he did not
know had agreed to pay him twen-
ty-five cents a sack for the coal,
which was to be left behind the
pool room.
From the description he gave
of the other man Booth thought
it to be Jim Collins, who had been
doing odd jobs for a few days at
AndersOn's cafe and a talk which
he had with Collins confirmed the
suspicion. He arrested Collins
and charged him with being con-
nected with stealing the coal.
Collins denied all knowledge of
the coal but upon being informed
that his partner had been arrest
ed and had confessed, he finally
admitted that he knew the coal
had been stolen and that he had
sold it to Ed GOuthier, proprietor
of the Idaho pool room.
The officials of the Milwaukee
road were notified and Detective
Mckay was sent here. Gouthier
was arrested and the prisoners
were turned over to Sheriff Leaf.
Gouthier denied all knowledge of
the coal until he was informed
that the other two parties had
confessed and then admitted hav-
ling purchased the coal.
When taken before the probate
court Watts and Gouthier plead
guilty. Collins plead not guilty
but after a trial was convicted
Watts and Collins were each SEN
fenced to serve a term of twenty
days in the county Jail and to pay
the costs of the trial. GOuthel
was fined S25.OO and costs, which
lie paid and was discharged.

Milwaukee Mill
To Start Monday
VERY BUSY SEASON IS PREDICTED
Lumber Business Looking Better. 1916 Promises
To Be Banner Year for ST. MariUS

equally as busy a season. Large
new dry kilns in which to dry the
lumber, are being put up and all
arrangements are being made to
take full advantage of the expect
ed boom in the lumber business.
1t is expected that the Stein
Lumber and Single company will
start its shingle mill as soon as
the season will permit and will
have even a larger crew than
common.
The Modern Box Factory Co.
will start their factory soon. 1t
already has a number of orders
Oh hand and expects to do a
larger and better business this
year than last.
The Lewiston Box Factory Co.
has the building for the box fac
tory which they are building here,
about completed and will soon be
installing machinery. The fac
tory viii be ready to run as soon
as springs opens and the men
which it will employ will add
materially to the laborers of the
city and the wages which will be
paid them will make a marked in
crease in the payroll of the city
Taking these things into con-
sideration, the prospects for st
Maries for the coming year arr
very bright and 1916 promises
to be the best year that this cit.
has ever seen.
