TRANSACTS BUSINESS
FROM HIS CELL in JAIL
Former Mayor of Wallace Held ON
Murder Charge is Busy Man

Wallace Idaho.-The trial of Her.
man Rossi, former mayor of this city
and formerly member of the Idaho
board of education, who is in Jail
here on the charge of numbering
Clarence Dahlquist, will be SGT, it is
believed, when the next term of the
district court convenes on September
I25.
Dahlquist died within "a hours
after being shot on June 80 last.
Rossi has never made statement
as to the cause of the shooting. Only
a short time previously Rossi had
returned from Boise, where he had
attended a Republican meeting. Mrs.
Rossi left Wallace the day after the
shooting without making a statement.
Rossi was released "a $4,000 bond
but this was increatGd to $4,000,
and he was at liberty until his pre-
liminary hearing on July last,
when he was bound over to the dis
trict court without ball.
Witnesses at the preliminary hear
ing testified that Rossi, after shoot
ing Dalhquist, called to the wounded
man that he would give him 10 min
utes to leave town. Dalhquist, weak
ened by the loss of blood, asked for
an automobile to take him away. He
was removed to a hospital, where he
later died.
Rossis business has been taken
over by company organized since
he was placed in jail, and each day
he signs many letters and papers.
Every day he scrubs the county Jail
floors and has insisted that the
sheriff permit him to wash the dishes.
Many friends and business associates
call on him daily in his cell

About Carnegie
So much of keen interest has come,
into the library question during the
past few weeks that the matter Of
larger quarters had to arise. A num-
ber of men have promised financial
aid so soon as a regular city public
is in existence. The ladies
who have carried their modest be-
ginnings to the present triumphant
position desire to know whether they
should go ahead with building up a
home institution without waiting on
the Carnegie question, or if the
townsmen are now willing to devote
a few moments and few sheckels
to the subject. A carnegie means a
lot, and a little money every year
for maintenance. At a meeting Of
the library board recently it was ar
ranged to present the matter to the
town council as to whether to apply
to the Carnegie people or not. A
on censorship was appoint
ed, as follows: Mrs. Jessie Woodin,
Mrs. Henry Dannfand Mrs. Theodore
Schneider.

Mr.. Hines is to move into town with
his family for the advantages of the
schools here.

Brunswick yesterday paid a fitting
tribute to the high-charactered men
who fought in the War Between the

excellent address he said:
There rmains now only the mem

COMPANY GOING
TO ANOTHER PORT
COONEY-ECkSTE SAYS SAVAN-
NAH REPORT, TO LEAVE
THIS CITY.

The following appeared in yester-
days Savannah Press and is published
for what it is worth
III. w. Johnson, manager of the
Brunswick office of the Cooney-Eck-
stein Lumber company will be trans
ferred to Savannah within the next
few days, according to advices receiv-
ed here this morning.
ut is reported the reason for the
abandonment of the Brunswick office
and its reopening here in Savannah
is due to a lack of adequate shipping
conditions in that port. Some Off
cials state the steamers from New
York do not reach Brunswick often
enough and because of this fact this
kind of business cannot be taken care
of.
Sharp Sutlive, of the same COM
pany here, was out of the city today
and confirmation of this statement
could not be obtained locally From
what can be learned all the business
formerly transacted at Brunswick will
be done here under Mr.. Johnson
With the moving of this office to
Savannah will come an increased
business for the port
