NO WRONG DOING
INTENDED IN CASE
Action Against the Commits.
sioners of Latah County
Is Dismissed.

There was no intentional wrong do
ing or violation of the instructions of
the courts, and therefore the commits
sioners of Latah county cited for con-
tempt by the last court of resort In
THIS state are exonerated. This Is the
finding of the supreme court There
fore, it issued an order last night to
quash the citation proceedings that had
been issued and the two commissioners
who appeared before the court to show
cause why they should not be punished
for contempt returned to Moscow. The
proceedings were brought against them
by the Potlatch Lumber company.
The commissioners, acting on au-
thority Of the county attorney, auth
orized special road levies. Before the
time elapsed for making the levies the
supreme court ordered and directed the
commissioners to make levies to be ex-
pended in the districts where they orr
climate. A writ of mandate so d.
rected. 1t was charged the commits
sioners violated the court orders and
authorized / different levy. They were
summoned before the court Two of
them responded, A. S. Lyon and John
Wooday. Both testified before the
court they had only acted under the
guidance of the county attorney and
had no idea they were violating any in
struction of the court. Other testi-
mony was given to the court bearing
on the case.
Justice Morgan did not sit during
argument, due to the fact his brother
was an interested attorney in the case.
Justice Bulge wrote the courts opin-
ion. generating the commissioners,
and in his findings the chief Justice
concurs. The court holds the three
commissioners had used their best
judgment In fixing the levies for gem
eral road purposes and that the evil
dence did not show they had wilfully
violated the mandate of the court. It
had been conceded during argument by
interested counsel that the commits
sioners were not guilty of criminal
contempt. Both commissioners who
appeared on citation are candidates
for recollection and the contempt pro-
ceeding is having an important bear
ing in Latah county. where it is
charged the board of county commits
sioners is responsible for a large
special road tax placing a burden on
the taxpayers when there should have
been no specific levies. Clint Wilson and
A. B. McIntire are the other two com
missioners. They are not candidates
for reelection.

birds declared that Peter ought to know
something about Sooty and had started
in to tell him the things he didn't know.
They started in by telling him that
Sooty makes his home in chimney.
Right then Peter asked that simple
little question and discovered that he
had asked a poser.
He discovered it by the sudden silence
that fell. Each one seemed to be wait
ing for some one else to answer. Peter
asked it over again and waited. his
eyes beginning to twinkle. He sudden
ly suspected that the very ones who
had laughed at him for his mistake
about Sooty didn't know as much about
their feathered neighbors as they pre-
tended to.
Don't all speak at once" said Peter
as the silence became rather painful.
You tell me. Jenny Wren" he con-
tinued. You know SO much about
your neighbors."
For once Jenny Wren's lively tongue
seemed to have something the matter
with it. "Why-why-I suppose he
builds it the same as the rest of us
build our nests" she stammered.
But you all build differently" per-
sisted Peter. You build yours inside
box or in a hollow tree. where it
cannot fall. Welcome Robin builds
