Simpson Guilty
In Circuit Court

The case of W. Ct. Simpson and
S. ID. Simpson of Caldwell which
has been occupying the attention
of the public generally for two
years has been decided in the
United States circuit court of
with the judgment of
the lower court confirmed.
w. G. Simpson was the pres
ident and S. ID. Simpson the cash
Ter of the American National
bank of Caldwell which closed its
doors in December, 1913. The
two officers were indicted on nine
counts in February, 1914, and
tried for the misrepresentation of
funds i'm the American National
bank. They were tried on one
count, issuing a certificate of de-
post without any funds with
which to meet it, and convicted
with a sentence of five years each
in the federal prison on MsNeil
island i'm Puget sound.
The special on'ensc of which
they were found guilty was the
signing of a number of certiii-
Gates of deposit by S. ID. .Simp-
son, the cashier, which w. G.
Simpson took to eastern points
and filing out the amounts solo
for $4,000.
Their case was appealed to the
circuit court in San Francisco
where it was heard in October
1915. The decision sustaining
the conviction has just been re-
ceived at the Boise office. Boil
men have been out on bond, blu
will now have to serve their sen
itcnce at Mcneil island unless tn
case should be appealed to tn
United States supreme court.

Homestead Case
To Highest Tribunal

The supreme court OF the Unit
ed States will determin whether
or not land procured from the
United States under the provis-
ions of the homestead law can be
sold on execution for the pay
ment of a debt contracted after
final proof had been made, but
before the issuance of the patent
thereof.
This important issue is raised
by Charles F. Ruddy, plaintilf,
in an action against Herman j.
Rossi for the purpose of remov-
ing a cloud of homestead entry
in northern Idaho. The case
was recently passed upon on ap-
peal by the supreme court of this
state. Application for a rehear-
ing was denied by that tribunal.
Then Ruddy filed a petition for a
writ Of error to the supreme
court and will carry the issues in
volved to the last court of resort
in the United States.
In this case Rudy, it appears,
had filed upon a homestead and
later had borrowed certain sums
of money from Rossi. TO re-
cover the amounts alleged due
him, Rossi brought suit i'm the
district court, secured judg-
ment and a levy Of attachment
was issued on the property. The
issue then arose as TO whether
lien would attach to a home
stead entry when final certificate
is issued or when patent issued
It involved a construction Of fed
eral law.
The supreme court of Idaho
held that under section 1896, SUI
pra, where a debt was contracted
after the issuance of final GER
t:fcate of entry to the defendant
but prior to his obtaining pat
ent, the land might lawfully b.
takin in satisfaction of the deb
since the patent, when issued, re
lates back TO the date of the fina
certificate. The court mOdifie
the judgment. It affirmed tn
Judgment of the trial court TO

on the title to the land describe
in Ruddy's complaint but direct
ed the trial court to modify it

and costs, is a valid and subsisl

may remain outside of its boun-
diaries as long as he wishes, al
though other state officials must
secure permission from the chief

Attorney General Peterson. The
attorney general leaves soon for
Washington on Idaho land mat
ters and the governor may also
go to the seat of the national

1t was these prospective trips
that called to the governors at

Rabies Prevalent
Among Coyotes

A report received from Harri-
son says: Persistent reports
are being received here from
ranchers and trappers through
out the county that the mysjeri-
Gus malady, thought to be rabies
and reported prevalent during the
last month in Montana and south
ern Idaho, has spread to the coy
Otes in this region. The ami
mails have apparently lost their
fear of men.
Two dogs returned to Harrison
Friday badly slashed and nearly
exhausted. 1t is thought they
we're attacked by coyotes. They
have been confined and are being
watched for symptoms of hydro
phobia.
One trapper found a coyote
caught by a fore paw and sur
rounded by five others, which re-
treated only wnen ne approached
within 20 yards of them. An
other coyote, apparently dement,
ed, pursued a steamer plying be-
tween Harrison and Occur d.
Alene for two miles. The ami
NAL ran on the ice a short dis
lance from the boat until fright
ened away by a blast of the whis-
tie.
Ranchers and homesteaders
owning livestock are taking pre-
cautions against the coyotes, anC
as result traps and poison are
in great demand.

The Habit of Beinu Happv,

Keeping oneself reasonably happy is
duty that ought not to be shirked.
Science is telling us these days that
to get out Of the habit of enjoyment
is to get depressed in vitality and
vigor. to weaken in efficiency, and to
grow OLD before ones time. There is
nothing like laughter-not empty.
headed laughter, but the intelligent,
wholesome, kindly-hearted kind-tC
keep people young and fresh and fit
for business and the obligations of liv.
ing. OF course this is a prescription
not easy to live up to always, but
there Is no reasonable excuse for not
trying to do it. Sometimes it is just
about as easy to be happy as to be
miserable if one makes up his mind to
1t, and there is no doubt at all as to
which pays the best-Onward.
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-02-18

under these conditions would be joy.
Gus and hopeful; no more heartaches.
There would be something to look for
ward to; something to fix up their
pretty clothes for-the expectancy of
meeting new, nice people and that
which is sweetest of all to the youth
ful feminine heart-it would make her
golden day-dreams reality.
Young girls nay love home and
those within it's walls ever so dearly,
but changes of scenes and association
with young people of their own age
are essential to their well-being. A
girl may be wise, thoughtful and de-
mure far beyond her years, but her
wisdom should not be taken for
granted An old head Cannot be put
ON young shoulders. There will never
be time when girls can content
themselves without having something
to look forward to. Her homefolks
should study that phase of her girl
hood. Homes should be open to well
come the friends of her youth. A
watchful eye can be upon them to see
that they enjoy themselves properly
But the espionage should not be ap.
parent. Give the girls happy youth
time.

Gradually it has come about that
everyone who motors, be it more or
less, insists upon wearing the proper
motor headwear, and the making of
this particular kind of millinery has
become a special business A pretty
hat, soft and comfortable and one that
will stay on, no matter how much the
speed exceeds the limit-these are
the things the motorist demands as
ability and the appearance of a smart
street or sports hat may be acquired
all in one, so much the better for
those who market the marvel of In
genuity.
Here are two of the motor hats de-
signed for spring, chosen from many
others equally good and of the same
character They are made. by meth
cd that is patented, with an elastic
headband or headsiZe as the milliners
term it, and they will stay on the
head without the use of pin to fasten
them. A strong elastic cord is in
serted in the base of the crown at the
back and it serves to bind the hat to
the head just as a garter holds up a
stocking.
Millinery braids and fabrics are
used for these hats. as for others. and
their designers are not hampered by
any lack of materials. Some mate
rails like pongee silk. and soft kid
feathers seem especially appropriate
in them.

left having braid brim and satin
crown with an embroidered flower mo-
tif for decoration. This is made in

Truth be known, women are more

man who is neither young nor hani-
some. Bless his heart, he does not
know or feel that he stands at the
very head Of matrimonial prizes. The
woman who wins him for a husband
is the envy Of majority Of her sis

to make their married life one grand

aim will be to spend every cent he
can afford to enhance her beauty with
every furbelow so dear to a woman's
heart. Her will is, in almost every
case, his law. She can coax and
wheedle him into doing whatever she
pleases. A sigh from her lips would
worry him mere than any amount Of
reproaches which the wife Of hand
some man could fling at her spouse.
All in all, the man who is neither
young nor handsome is sure to get the
very best out Of life and love home
and happiness. He cxcites little envy.
Men are not afraid OF him and invite
him to their homes, knowing that he
will neither make love to their wives
or try to run away with them. He
does not know how we'll off he is, how
high he stands in the estimation of
the world of women and men. He
should take heart. What he considers
his defects are in reality his winning

she must possess is wifely inspiration,
incentive and encouragement. In
times gone by subsection and submis.
