1t was brought out that Juryman
Steele had remained in the jury room
this forenoon while evidence was TAX

had misunderstood the instructions OF
the Court this morning. He thought
that he might remain in the room
while evidence was taken and still be
within the instructions of the Court
When this was brought to the
Courts attention he dismissed the
grand jury. 1t will now be necessary
to call a new grand jury, or further
cases against Bachman will have to be

COURT BUSINESSES
THE GRAND JURY

Last evening at seven o'clock Judge
Taber in the district court overruled
the challenge to the grand jurors en-
tered by counsel for Sam Bachman,
and the jury convened at ten o'clock
this morning to consider such matters
as might be brought before it.
In his Instructions 10 the jurors this
morning Judge Taber instructed X. NJ.
Steele, who is a partner of II. A. Agee
to take no part in deliberations on any
cases wherein Sam Bachman is con.
cerned. He stated that he had no
doubt of Mr.. Steele's integrity and
fairness. but he desired to relieve him
of any embarrassing situations which
might arise. 1t will be remembered
that at its recent session Mr.. Bach
man was indicted for stealing one of
Mr.. Agee's horses.
The counsel for Bachman then re.
jurymen on the ground of bias and pre-.
JUDGE, charging that they had pre-
viously heard sworn testimony, and
added the further objection, in view of
the Courts remarks to Mr. Steele, of

any case against Bachman when the
law requires that a grand jury shall
consist of seventeen. The objection
was overruled.
The Court stated that he would APP.

Lake County Boosters Present Attractive

Ope of the questions that Is to be
submitted to the voters of Kootenai
county at the election next Tuesday
is county division. The committee
headquarters at Spirit Lake has put
out an elaborate statement In circu-
lar form containing valuab ble informa-
tion for perusal by voters, so that
they may 20 to the polls and cast an
intelligent vote, whether they be for
or against the proposition.
Included in this circular are many
figures, obtained from records and
carefully compiled. The present area
Of Kootcnai county is 400 square
miles, valuation lS,oOO,o0O. The
area to he taken from Kootenai for
the proposed new county of Lake is

The proposed new county has

BURTON |. FRENCH HERE
Eagleson and Whitla Also Spoke
Tuesday Night.

Burton L. French, republican
nominee for congressman, address
ed fair sized audience at Frater-
nal hall Tuesday night, devoting
the greater part of his time to
! national issues. He said an elastic
tariff, Tor which the republican
party stands, is needed to protect
American labor and American
manufacturers and farmers from
competition of cheap labor
products from Europe and the
Orient, and give this country a
permanent prosperity. He adverse.
ly criticised President Wilson's
policy toward Mexico as one that
has aggravated conditions there.
Referring briefly to Idaho politics,
MIR. French spoke highly of Con-
gresham Smith and ID. w. Davis,
the republican nominee for Cover.
nor. He admonished his hearers
not to overlook voting for the pro.
hibltion amendment, which he said
was more important to the people
than his own candidacy or the
political interests of any other in
dividual.
Mr.. Frcnch's address was pre-
ceded by the speeches cf L. Il.
Whitla, republican county chair
man, ard John w. Eagleson, state
treasurer and candidate for re-
election. c. L. Heitman presided.
Mr.. Whitla made cuIogistIc
mention OF various county candi-
dates and said he believed the re-
publlcans had strong county
ticket. incidentally, he condemn
ed the bringing of actions in court
and securing grand jury indict-
ments, in connection with the
audit of the county records, when
there was not sufficient grounds
for complaint. He declared the
audit had cost over $4,000 and
the county had not received any
benefit. He said Reinhard, the
Spokane accountant, was being
paid SIS day and So a day for
each assistant, that he paid his
assistants IS, keeping the differ
ence for himself.
Mr.. Eagleson gave a concise,
business like statement of the
state finances under his steward
ship, and read figures from the
records to show that the large
savings, which Governor Alexander
claims the credit for, were really
made by republican state officials.
To further prove this, he pointed
out that all state levies are made
by the state board, which consists
OF five members-four republicans
and one democrat. Mr.. Eagleson
said that he, as state treasurer, had
reduced the expense OF maintain
ing the state capitol building to
the extent of $40, 900, that he had
saved $32, 1000 by improving the
methods of handling the states
money, and had increased the
earnings OF the states funds by
S42, 900 since the Haines admins
tration. He asked the voters to
support the constitutional amend
ment TO increase the amount of
state lands that may be sold in one
year from IS sections to 100
sections. He said the state had
already sold 500, 900 acres and had
1000, 900 acres yet 10 sell, and at
the rate of IS sections a year it
would take $50 years to sell all
this land. He praised Mr.. Davis
plan to sell the land and loan the
money to the people OF the state
at low rate of interest.
