HORSE is ELECTRICUTED.

A horse valued at 5000, and belong
ing to A. T. Maxwell, east of town,
was killed by an electric current from
the live wires of the Electric Invest
ment company, says the Bull Herald.
The stacker was being moved from
one field to another and across the
road. The pole of the stacker to which
steel cable was attached, came in
contact with the charged wires of the
power & Light company as the stack
er was being drawn under the wires.
One horse was killed and three 9TH
ers were shocked considerably. Mr.
Maxwell received a severe shock by
having hold of the lines, but nothing
serious resulted to him. In talking to
the manager of the power company he
said that it was only a miracle that
the men and all the horses were not
killed.

WILL TAKE NO ACTION
UNTIL LATE IN WEEK
No Developments in Mexican Crisis
and No Word Has Been Received as
to Carranza's Reply.

WASHINGTON-S Sunday brought no
important developments here in the
Mexican crisis.
Neither the state department nor
the Mexican embassy had any word as
to when Carranza's reply to the Amer
lean demands, awaited by President
Wilson with some impatience, might
be expected. There seemed little pro-
liability that the Washington govern
ment would consider further action
until late in the week. The house will
not reassemble until Wednesday, hav-
ing adjourned over the Fourth of July.
While the administration could take
any necessary defensive steps in the
event that General Pershing's columns
would be attacked, no aggressive
movement would be undertaken until
after President Wilson had advised
congress of his purpose and definite
authority had been granted.
General Bell reported to the war de-
partment Sunday night that Mexican
Consul Garcia at Ell Paso had promis-
ed aid and protection for the party
that be sent to bring back the bodies
of the American troopers killed at
Carrizal. Arrangements for this were
being completed, General Bell said
adding that the mission probably
would be entrusted to a party of Mex
leans.
The department announced Sunday
night that the national guard units
that have reached the border are being
supplied with machine guns.

BIG CROWD AT
BOISE SUNDAY
Excursion Fails to GO But Many
Leave on Regular
BUNCH OF AUTOS MADE TRIP TO
CAPITAL TO VISIT REGIMENT.
Muster In Takes Place Today But Cen
sorship Prevents Any Information
Regarding Leaving Being Given

Although the excursion planned to
leave Saturday night for Boise did not
go, on account of failure to secure the
required number of tickets, about 70
went from here on the night train,
taking advantage of the cheap rate,
and spent Sunday with the boys. In
addition five loaded autoes left in a
bunch and made the trip besides other
who went in machines from time to
time during the day and during the
previous week The regiment was
mustered in today, but no definite in
formation in regard to when it will
leave is obtainable There is a gener-
al understanding that it is liable to
leave Wednesday, but nothing official
is given out, as the lid is held on tight
by the censor.
All who went were delighted with
the cheerful condition in which they
found the soldier boys, all of whom
we're as enthusiastic for whatever the
future might bring forth. An immense
crowd from all parts of the state were
present.

ROSSI'S VICTIM Sue
CUMBS TO WOUND
Dahlquist Dies Following Shooting
Affray at Wallace and Slayer
Charged With Murder.

WALLACE, Ida.=Clarence (Gabe)
Dahlquist, who was shot in the lobby
of the Samuels hotel here Friday night
by Herman j. Rossi, widely known in
surance man, prominent politician and
Elk, and two times mayor of Wallace,
died in the Providence hospital here
shortly after o'clock Saturday after
noon, where he was taken following
the sensational shooting affray, from
the effects of 3S-caliber bullet which
entered his back and ploughed its way
through his liver and right lung.
Following the death of his victim,
Rossi, who was at liberty on a $4,000
bond on a charge of assault with in
tent to commit murder, was rearrested
on a charge of murder. He was taken
before Probate Judge Weniger and ar
raigned on a new charge, and his pre-
liminary examination set for July z.
Rossi is now charged with willful, un-
lawful, felonious and deliberate and
premeditated killing of the deceased.
So far as known Dahlquist made no
statement as to the causes leading up
to the fatal shooting. Rossi has SO
far refused to make any statement
and an attempt to secure an interview
with Mrs Rossi at her home was met
/
the city during the day and that he1
destination was unknown. So far as
known she has not seen her husband
since the shooting. Rossi Saturday
looked haggard and worn and is ap.
parently under heavy mental strain.
Various theories are advanced as
the cause for the tragedy, but it ha.
been known here that the domestic af
fairs of the Rossis have been more
or less turbulent owing to the per
sistence of Mrs. Rossi in entertaining
company in her husbands absence
On Rossi's return here Friday from
Boise the household was in state o
disorder following an entertainment
at which it was known that Dahlquis
was present, and the shooting follow
ed shortly after.
Rossi's bond was fixed by Probate
Judge Weiger at $4,000, which wa
furnished late Saturday night and h
was released from custody.

STATE WINS RANGE CASE.

The misdemeanor case of the state
against A. G. Butterfield, heard in the
district court last week was decided in
favor of the plaintiff The case was
one in which Mr.. Butterfield was
charged with running sheep on a cat
tie range. The case was instigated by
members of the West Weiser Horse

the contention that the territory on
Warm Springs creek, Hog creek,
Grouse creek and big and little Rock

ORCHARD PROPERTY
SOLD BY COURT
NJ. D. Stevens Buys Deed Creek
Orchard on Judgment
Is SUBJECT TO OTHER INDEBTED
NESS AMOUNTING TO $4,000.
Plot Now Virtually Abandoned and
Orchard Grown Into Weeds Is In
Bad Condition.

With the sale of the Deep Creek
Orchard company property, June "a,
by order of court, to Millard d. Stew
ems of Rock Island, H., for $1475, to
satisfy a judgment held by Stevens,
another chapter in the history of that
project was closed. The sale was sub
ject to the claims of mortgages and
bondholders, aggregating $4,000. The
judgment on which order of sale was
made was rendered in a suit brought
by Stevens for the sum of $3.50, paid
by him as part of the purchase price
of $4,000, which he had contracted to
give for a 10-acre tract in the orchard.
He claimed that the company failed to
fulfill its obligations and that he was
entitled to the money which he paid
into it.
In addition to the amount named
there are outstanding obligations
against the property, to the amount of
about $156,000, of which $4,000 was
paid in by contract holders under
terms similar to those under which
Stevens purchased, and some $4,000
is Indebtedness of various sorts. The
value of the orchard on which the
judgment, bonds and mortgages are
liens is said to have deteriorated rap
idly during the last few years and the
: statement is made that the greater
I part of the trees are dead and that the
tract, abandoned and utterly neglect
ed, has grown up in weeds. The tract
E includes 1000 acres situated on Deep
: creek. About seven years ago the
company was organized by P. H.
Smith, Homer Craven and F. G. Les
sure, who, however, afterwards sew
cred connection with it. The tract
was planted in orchard and while it is
said that the water in the creek is
: generally insufficient to furnish irri-
cation, except during wet years, ii
looked promising at the time and
many from all parts of the country
: invested. For time Edward Roberts
was manager and later w. BAmsbary
held that position. Gradually the stock
changed hands and at the time that
the judgment was rendered and sale
ordered it was owned by non-residents
named Hines, Taft and Deets. The
sale to Stevens was made by Hayes &
Hayes, of Rock Island, Ill An effort
! was made to make them parties to the
u u suit and they were so named in the
original petition, on the ground Of al
legged fraud on their part in making
the sale. No service was obtained on
them, however, and their names were
dropped from the proceedings, the
II judgment being taken against the com
\ pany alone.
