DIVIDED OPINION IN
NORTH IDAHO CASE

A divided opinion handed down late
yesterday by the supreme court in the
case of Charles f. RuddN versus Her
man j. Rossi, an action to perpetually
enjoin the sale of land to satisfy judg
ment liens upon execution, appealed
from the judgment given the plaintiff
in the First judicial district court for
Shoshone county, Judge Woods pre-
siding, the lower courts findings are
modified.
The facts set forth in the decision
are to the effect that Ruddy filed IN
the northeast quarter of the northwest
quarter, section "a, township As north
range four east, Aug. 8, 1913. This was
a homestead and before offering final
proof Rudy borrowed money from
Rossi, who later brought suit to re-
cover the amounts of his loans. Ruddy
confessed judgment to $93l.S7 and Il
jury gave Rossi judgment on another
claim for S2115.4S. An attachment was
levied on Ruddy's homestead He put
up the defense that the homestead,
not having gone to final proof, was
exempt from the levy. The lower court
held that the judgment for $931.S1 v as
not lien or cloud on the land, nor
was the Judgment for $2115.4S. The
supreme court holds that tho lower
court did not err as to the first amount
but it did err in holding the $2115.4S
was not a lien.
The cause is remanded to the trial
court with directions to modify the
judgment to the extent that the jpds
ment in the sum of $2115.4S and costs
amounting to $500 is a valid and sub
sisting lien upon the premises OF
Rudy. The decision is written by JUS
tice Bulge and concurred in by Justice

Gals tonight were awaiting formal no
titication from London that papers ia
ken from Captain Franz Won Papen, re-
called German military attache, furnish
new evidence in offenses of foreign
agents against United States laws. No
steps can be taken by the government
until official adVices are received re-
garding the evidence. That it is of
tremendous interest was the state
ment of an official tonight, Since his

any claim to diplomatic immunity. Any

may, and WILL in volve men whose
names have not been mentioned in

money from Captain Won Papen is sub
Stimulated it will help in some cases.
Horn, at present under indictment in
Washington state, is using legal tech
nicalities to prevent a trial of his case,
Any evidence that will clear up points
of his case will be of immense value

Tells OF BUILDING
OF Tunnel IN CANADA

THE Rogers Pass Tunnel" was the
topic of an interesting address given
last night before the Idaho Society OF
Engineers at a meeting at the Com
mercial club rooms by John w. Shop
perd of Caldwell who was construc-
ton engineer on the great tunnel.
This tunnel, which is on the Canad-
ian Pacific system, is for a dolble
track, is five miles long and will cost
when completed $4,000 900 Mr. Shep
perd explained that the tunnel was
started in August, 1918, and in six
months more would be completed. He
stated the main tunnel was 20 feet
high and % feet in width. Parallel
with the big tunnel a small tunnel six
feet six inches by eight feet was
driven from which drifts were run into
the main tunnel every 1000 feet. BY
this system, he explained. large crews
could be worked to advantage as all
the rock cut down was removed
through the small tunnel, men were
worked over the entire distance of FIVE
miles and being separated in crews
| lessened the danger OF accidents.
Not only from an engineering stand
point but from the standpoint OF a
layman as well the address was of
] great interest and tended to show
what was being accomplished in the
engineering world.
e. NJ Booth was elected as mem
bcr of the society and the applica-
tons for membership OF A. y. Brown
and w. T. Pierce of Rupert were pre-
scented.

divided the first vote they took on
the motion to place the state land
commissioner under a bond at its

caused some comment. The governor.
attorney general and auditor voted
against the motion The secretary of
state and superintendent of public in
struction voted for ii. This defeated
the motion.

the vote that had been taken and
after some little discussion the board
agreed to place all those having the
handling of state land sales under a
$4,000 bond, including the commissioner
and every member of the board voted
for the motion.
