City and County Intelligence
SIMPSONS LOSE CASE ON
APPEAL TO CIRCUIT COURT
Former Bankers of Caldwell Must
Serve Term in Penitentary.

The circuit court of appeals in San
Francisco has decided against w. G.
and S. D. Simpson, former president
and cashier of the American Nationai
bank of this city. The two men,
brothers, were sentenced to serve 5
years for violations of the national
banking laws. They were tried before
jury in the United States district
court at Boise, Judge ]. S. Deitricn
presiding, last March. The specific
charge was issuing certificates Of de-
post for which no funds had been re-
ceived. The case was carried to the
circuit court of appeals by the Simp-
sons.
This is probably the last act In the
commercial tragedy of the American
National Bank of Caldwell, which was
organized by S. D. Simpson. w. G.
Simpson was one of the original stock
holders of the bank and its president
until short time before its failure.
S. D. Simpson came to Caldwell
from Bells, Texas. Prior to his resi-
dence in Texas he had lived in Ken
lucky. w. G. Simpson was from
Meridian. Mississippi, where he was
engaged in the banking business until
short time before the failure of the
Caldwell bank.
At this time, it is perhaps no more
than right to say that none of the
depositors in the American National
Bank lost dollar. The deposits were
raid in full by the local stockholders
of Caldwell.

Why Pick on Pie?

There is tendency on the part of
some highbrows to sneer at pie and
to pretend fine scorn for pie-eaters.
Evidently they don't know as much
about pie as they pretend. We have
made study of the subject and are
proud in our possession of knowledge
OF that peerless pearl of products
the perfect pie.
The so-called highbrows do not
know, perhaps, that Emerson ate pie
until the day he died and that his sys-
tenn of philosophy was founded upon
custard pie. They are ignorant of the
fact that Carlisle never ate a pie in
his life, and lived and died a crouch.
Wen betcha four dollars that they
do not even suspect that DR.. Samuel
Johnson ate pie all his life until one
fatal Good Friday when he switched
to a hot-cross bun. He never smiled
again, Boswell says.
Byron, poet of passion, sustained
his finest flights on pie. witness:

PAYETTE CITY COUNCIL
REFUSES TO PAY BRADLEY
Wells of Anti-Saloon League Appears
in Behalf of Gumshoer.

The city council of Payette has re-
fused to have anything to do with H
f. Bradley, the notorious gumshoer,
who operated in Payette and Caldwell
l.. w. Wells, superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League, appeared before
the Payette city council in behalf OF
Bradley but without result.
The Payette Independent gives the
following account of the session of
the city council at which the Bradley
bills for detective work were consid-
cred:
The bill of H. F. Bradley for detec-
tive work in the recent liquor law
violation cases was on file and L. w.
Wells, Superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League, appeared for the
league, and Rev. Benz. Smith appeared
for the local Ministrial Association. in
support of the Bradley claim. A gen
eral discussion was had in which Mr..
Wells stated that if the council would
allow $40 each on the cases filed he
would see that the Anti-Saloon
League paid a part of the balance, the
county authorities having shown dis
position to help out if Payette, through
the council, would show a willingness
to pay part of it. The council did
not allow the claim nor any part of it.
1t is to be remembered that the re-
ward of $50 for arrest and conviction
in this class of cases was made by
resolution only, by rne preceding
council and the present council has
been advised that the resolution
bound only the council passing 1t.
The law has changed since the reso>
luton was passed. At the time it was
passed the justice of the peace had
jurisdiction to try such cases and
assess and collect fines which would

How to Foil Typhoid Germs.

Doctors Lenoir and Legagneux of
Paris have been testing the power of
vinegar to destroy the germs of ty-
phoid fever. They have proved that 20
grams of vinegar to a litre of water
kill the typhoid bacillus in an hour
and five minutes.
From this" writes the Paris cor
respondent of the London Lancet, "a
practical inference may be drawn con-
corning salads. After washing the sal

into water calculated with ten grams
of vinegar to the litre. and let it re-

to establish an ABSTRACT office at En-
NETT. Miss Mann will take over the
books of the Canyon County Abstract
Co. which deal with the transfers of
real estate in the lately created coun-
ty of Gem.
The Emmett Examiner in its last
issue has the following to say of the
enterprise:
Miss Katherine Mann, of Caldwell
was in Emmett Tuesday looking over
the situation for establishing an alb
stract Office here. She has decided
that she will take over the books of
the Canyon County Abstract company
and will have her Office at the court

from the records for that portion OF
the county which was taken from
Boise county.
Miss Mann has been in county work
for the past fourteen years and Is
thoroughly familiar with all the work
in the various offices and will be of
great value to the county in having her

advice can be had on tangled subjects
which keep coming up for the officers.
While here she secured the regular
bondsmen, required by the state, and
made arrangements to have desk in
one of the Offices at the court house.

COL. {. 4. PLACE IS 4
BUSINESS VISITOR
in CALDWELL

Col. E. R. Place, general agent of
the Missouri Pacific, the Iron Noun
tain, the Denver & Rio Grande ana
the Western Pacific Railways, was In
the city few hours Saturday, meet
ing his old friends in the city, sizing
up traffic conditions and attending to
other railway business of which he
gave The Tribune no inkling. Col.
Place was we'll pleased with business
conditions as he found them in Idaho
after an absence of several months.
The outlook in the Boise Valley and
in this city were particularly crafty
ing to Col. Place.
Col. Place is in Idaho at this time
interviewing the wool men and sheep
growers of Idaho and looking over
the industry from transportation
point of view.
Col. Place keenly feels the disap-
pointment which resulted from the
failure to materialize of the re-or-
ganization plans of President Benz.
Bush of the Western Pacific Railway.
These plans contemplated the re-or-
ganization of the Western Pacific and
the incorporation into one system OF
the Western Pacific, the Iron Noun
tain, the Denver & Rio Grande and
the Missouri Pacific. This system I'm
der a traffic arrangement with the
Wabash would then comprise great
transc continental system. Included in
the plans of President Bush were the
construction of the Winnemucca-
Caldwell. the Twin Falls, the Unintah
and Son Jose branches.
Cou1dc C,usa Failure
The failure of the plans of Mr..
to the fact that the Gould interests In
the Denver & Rio Grande refused to
come into the system at the last mo-
ment after having given Mr.. Bush
every assurance that the re-organiza-
ton plans were entirely satisfactory
in every particular.
Readers who keep in touch with
railroad matters know Mr.. Bush's
opinion of Gould from the interviews
given out by him after the meeting
at Denver when Mr.. Could withdrew
from the plan.
The failure of the plans of Presi-
dent Bush was distinct loss to the
west. Mr.. Bush is the greatest friend
these western states have had in rail-
road circles in great many years. He
is great railroad builder. Every line
with which he has had to do has been
re-organized and built up on substan-
tial railroad basis under his manage
ment. His plan with the railroads
mentioned above had been submitted
to, passed upon and accepted by those
Immediately interested as we'll as the
greatest railroad authorities in the
country. The west sincerely hopes
that President Bush will later be able
to put through his plan of re-organi-
cation.
Place Hale and Hearty.
The Caldwell friends of Col. Place
were very much pleased to see him.
He is looking just as well, young and
handsome as ever. He still has plenty
of hope, confidence and courage and
believes confidently that the Winnie
mucca Northern will be built sooner
than later. He will return to Win
nemucca as soon as his business af-
fairs in Idaho are looked after.

K. U. PLANS UPSET
Nebraska Coach Will Be in To-
peka to See Game.
An Effort May Be Made to
"COver Up" Best PIays2

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 10.-Having
been informed that Doctor Stewart.
Nebraska coach, would be in Topeka
tomorrow to watch the Jayhawkers
perform, the K. U. coaches were bit
disturbed today over the prospect of
having to divulge their best formations
to the arch enemy from baskerville
or of having to take a chance of being
defeated by the Ichabods.
1t has been the plan of Captain
Lindsey and his teammates to win by
the biggest possible score and to COM
pletely crush the Washburn machine,
if possible. but now they are a bit up
in the air. 1t has been reported that
the coaches intended to send in a sub
stitute lineup at the start of the game
and to use it as long as possible, but
now many believe the regulars will
begin and will attempt to pile up
enough touchdowns to retire in favor
of the scrubs.
There is no doubt but that the play
ers and the university students, still in
toxicated with the success of last week
against the Sooners, are hungry for
blood and would like to defeat Wash
burn 100 to 0 if they can. All seem
confident of victory and the only ques-
ton that is being asked here is: How
big will the score be?"
The team, accompanied by coaches,
the university band and a large fol-
lowing of rooters will leave early to-
morrow morning for the capital city.

PLAY DIRTY GAME
AT YALE, CHARGE
OF w. AND J. MEN

Up in Yale they have cultivated a
cute little habit of kicking their foot
ball foemen a husky kick in the ankle
when the officials aren't looking.
And the practice has been quite BEN
eficial to those Yalers, because as al
most everybody knows, a well-aimed
boot at the ankle bone surely can take
the speed out of the other fellows
legs.
The w and J. Footballers went up
to New Haven with perfectly good
legs. The majority of them left there
with ankles discolored or swollen
gifts from the Bulldogs. They liked
Halfback Ruble so well up there that
in addition to tinting his legs with
black and blue they -'pinked" up his
face with his own blood.
81 was all set for a forward pass
said Ruble. Had my arms stretched
out when-Zowie. Gates, the Yale
end, slipped a punch thru and it
landed squarely on my nose. I showed
my bleeding beezer to one of the Of
ficials as Exhibit A in the smuggling
charge against Yale but the official
hadn't seen Gates slip me the wallop
and NV protest was in vain.''

Even MONEY Bet ON GAME
AT LAWRENCE, REPORT SAYS

Dope on the K. U.-Washburn
game was badly Jared when it was
reported in Topeka today that bets
were being made in Lawrence at
even money that the Ichabods
would win. Many were inclined to
discredit the reports because of the
fact that the Jayhawkers have
ruled as favorites here all along,
but it was said that the to 1 odds
that had been offered on K. U.
earlier in the week became very
scarce as a result and that local
spectators were inclined to want
to bet on the score rather than the
outcome of the game.
Should the report that Lawrence
citizens are betting even money on
Washburn be true, it would seem
that Doctor Kennedy's men have a
better chance of winning than
many local dopesters have conced-
ed because Lawrence people are in
a better position to know the real
strength of the Jayhawkers than
any one here is.
When told of the report, Captain
Stewart of the Washburn team
said: well, it is an even money
bet and we have just as good a
chance to win as they have"
