CRFSSY BOY IMPROVES;
LIMBS MAY Be SAVED

That John Cressy, the boy who was
found nearly frozen to death, near the
body of his dead brother, Is miles east
of the city Sunday, is improving nice
ly, better than was at first expected,
but that he will more than likely lose a
portion of each one Of his feet and
two or three fingers from his left
hand, was the report made today by
DR.. Shurtz, city and county physician,
who has been in attendance on the
boy. The physician gave it out that
1t would be a number of days yet be-
fore 1t could be determined just how
much amputation would be necessary
and that every effort was being made
to bring circulation into the frozen
parts.
The boy recovered sufficiently to
talk little last evening and informed
his father that at dark his brother
Hiram sat down on his sled and
would not go any further and that
he took off his coat and put over him
and also left his gloves with him and
went on ahead to get help. 1t was
evident that the boy had spent the
entire night ziz-zagging back and
forth in the snow before he reached
the cabin in which he was found
Sunday.

EXTRAD|TION BY
MAIL Will SAVE
THESTATENONEY
Reform Instituted by Gov
ernor Alexander Means
Big Saving Requisition
on Governor of Oregon.

Extradition by mail is the reform
that has been instituted in this state
by Governor Alexander which will
save probably thousands of dollars
heretofore spent in meeting the ex-
penses of officials travelling from one
part of the country to the other. 1t
was instituted today when the COVER
nor made requisition upon Governor
Withycombe of Oregon for the return
to Idaho of George Howard, Harry
r. Carey and James Morgan, wanted at
Lapwai for burglary in breaking into
the Lapwai Pharmacy and stealing
jewelry. When arrested the jewelry
was found on them. They are now
held in custody by the officials of PEN
dleton, where they we're rounded up.
The necessary papers to bring about
the return of the alleged burglars to
stand trial were forwarded by mail
to Boise by Sheriff Harry Lydon of
Nez Perez county. They We're pre-
scented to the governor after arrival
by mail, and by him laid before the
attorney general for approval. This
being secured, they were signed by the
governor and by him placed in the
malls and forwarded by the governor
of Oregon who, in turn will forward
them to Sheriff Lydon, who will go
from Lewiston to that city where he
will take the prisoners into custody.
BY this procedure the railroad fare
and expenses of the sheriff from Lew
iston to Boise Boise to Salem; Salem
to Pendleton will be saved, or an
amount equal to approximately 800.
The same result win be accomplished
by the expenditure of about 10 cents
in stamps. The sheriff will be de-
prived of a trip, but the saving to the
state will make up for his loss in
that regard, 1t is claimed.
Governor Alexander made 1t plain
today that he proposes to follow this
procedure wherever it is possible to
do so and that extradition by mail
will become a reality in Idaho. Year
in and year out, he believes, 1t will
amount to a substantial saving. So
far as is known this is the first in
stance of its kind where similar ac-
ton has been taken.
Some time ago sentence was passed
In this state by a district judge on
defendants, by mail. The pleas of the
defendants were sent by mail to the
district judge who thereupon SEN
fenced them by sending an order
through the mails Now that eXtradi-
ton has been made possible by mail it
is believed other avenues of cutting
down expenditures in the same man
ner will be discovered to the general
benefit OF the state.

The bulk OF sentiment particularly in
the locality where the crime was COM
mitted, seems to favor the death pen
atty in extreme cases such as this.
But while the public is assuring it.
self that justice can only be met by
inflicting death upon the condemned
man, the day fixed for the execution
has no great amount of attraction for
George L. Stearns. sheriff of Hillsboro
county. Under the law, the execution
is entirely under his direction, as
sheriff of the county in which the muir
der took place. The warden of the
state prison merely has custody of the
prisoner. He is in no way connected
with the actual hanging.
Close Guard Is Kept.
The closest guard is being main
tanned over Comery, lest he again en-
deavor to thwart Justice by killing
himself. He made one attempt while
in the county jail at Manchester await
ing trial That time he cut his throat
and barely missed severing the jugular
vein. For weeks he lay between life
and death and the trial had to be post
poned.
The fact that two men have been
condemned to death since New Hamp-
shires last execution in 1898 and that
both escaped the gallows by commi,
ting suicide in the state PRISON before
the day arrived, is recalled by the
prison authorities and has added to
their vigilance in Comery's instance.
The entire demeanor of the con-
demned man, however, Is one of SUI
preme indifference, and he received
the news that the governor and couN-
ell had refused to interfere In his be
half with no sign of Disappointment
He eats heartily and has gained in
weight during the year he has been
confined in prison. He is said ny
those who guard him to sleep soundly
and apparently without troublesome
dreams.

WEYMOUTH GOES
Up IN SERVICE
Appointed Chief Of Con
struction Of the Reclama-
ton Service.

1t Is announced here by those close
to the situation that f. E. Weymouth,
supervising engineer of the reclamation
service with headquarters in Boise, has
been appointed chief of construction
with the service, headquarters at Den
yer by Franklin X. Lane, secretary of
the interior. He succeeds S. b. Will
hanson, resigned. Official announce
ment of the appointment has not as yet
been received either by Mr.. Weymouth
or the officials in charge of the recla-
nation service here.
Mr.. Weymouth is still confined to a
local hospital recovering from an at
tack of pneumonia from which it was
not expected for several days he would
recover. In fact at one time almost all
hope was given up. He Is rapidly gain
ing his strength and will leave soon for
California where he will spend several
weeks. He will probably go from there
to Denver to take up his new duties.
The advance of Mr.. Weymouth
gives him much greater responsibility.
II is loked upon here by his associates
as recognition of his engineering abil-
ity. 1t was under his administration
as supervising engineer that the mas
terpiece in engineering, the Arrowrock
dam, the highest in the world. was
built, for which he received not a lit
tie praise and recognition over the
country No piece of work completed
by the reclamation service received
such favorable comment as this great
dam and the Boise project. He is
looked upon as one Of the best posted
engineers in the service and his
ability is generally recognized.
