Fire Company Elects Officers

A nice crowd was out Monday
evening to attend the meeting
called to organize a fire company
and as result officers were elect
ed and. plans laid for first class
fire fighting organization for our
city. The following officers were
selected: Fire chief, Fred Lange;
assistant chief, o. D. Hamlin;
secretary, w. w. Flint; treasur-
er, Ira Robertson; hose cart cap
tains, Hayward Shields and Vern
Dye; captain hook and ladder
truck, w. A. Kelsey; captain
chemical engine, j. Captein. The
company now musters AZ men,
bers and it is the intention to Sc
cure suitable quarters where they
can meet and to have adequate
practice work as soon as the sea-
son will permit. With the rival
ry that is bound to develop be-
tween the companies, a compet-
ent bunch of fire fighters is bound
to result and, while we do not de-
sire any conflagrations to test
their ability in this line the boys
will undoubtedly be in position to
give a good account of them
selves whenever the occasion
does arise.

Send Protest to Boise

At the regular meeting of the
commercial club at the Phoenix
hotel Monday noon the matter Of
the passage of the Selway county
bin through the lower house Of
the state legislature was consid-
cred and resulted in the members
present voting unanimously to
send a strong remonstrance to
the senate at Boise protesting at
the passage of the bill in its
present form. Following is the
protest as telegraphed that even
ing:
WHEREAS, It has come to the
notice of the Cottonwood Com
mercial club that the House Of
Representatives, in session at
Boise, has passed a bill to create
what is known as Selway county,
and
WHEREAS, the said bill is SO
drawn as to include a strip of
territory about three miles west
of Winona, known as the Three
Mile Strip" which was a part of
the formerly proposed Randall
county and which has never been
conceded to Selway county, and
we believe, it would be working
a great injustice to the many
prosperous farmers residing in
the said three mile strip, to set
them off in the said Selway coun-
ty, they being bitterly and unut-
terably opposed to such action.
Be it resolved by the Cotton
wood commercial club in regular
session assembled. that they do
solemnly and earnestly protest
against the enactment of this
bill.
Resolved; that we ask our SEN
ator from Idaho county to have
said bill amended SO as to exclude
the said three mile strip. When
so amended we are not opposed
to the passage of the bill.
Be it further resolved; that one
copy Of this resolution be spread
upon the minutes and a copy of
the same be wired to Hon. E. L.
Parker and Hon. N. B. Pettibone.
at Boise, Ida.

Rooney Case Continued

The murder case entitled the
State of Idaho vs.. Mrs. Maud
Rooney has been continued for
the term. A motion for a dis
missal of this case was recently
filed in the district court by Coun-
ty Attorney E. M. Griffith on the
grounds that the state did not
have Sufficient evidence to secure
a conviction and that the circum-
stances of the indicated the
defendant was suffering from
mental alteration at the time the
deed was committed. The motion
filed by County Attorney Griffith
also pointed out that the defend
ant is the mother of six small
children and would naturally
have the sympathy of the jury
and for this reason he believed a
prosecution of the case would
only result in a heavy expense to
the taxpayers of the county with
out hope of securing a conviction.
The defendant is a resident of
Sites and was arrested early in
the fall after her infant baby had
been found strangled with a cord
tied tightly about the neck and
rags forced in the mouth. The
first statement made by the mo-
ther was intended to cast suspi-
cion on the nurse-woman and
later the husband was arrested
charged with the crime, but the
investigation made by the officers
removed all suspicion from the
nurse-woman and the husband,
and the mother was then placed
under arrest.

Coleman Finally Set Free

Boise, Feb. %. Fred M. Cole
man is free. After having
served a term of two years and
two months in the Idaho peniten-
tiary of from two and a half to
ten years for the self-confessed
embezzlement of $4,000 from
the state, treasury while he was
deputy state treasurer, Coleman
today left the prison walls be-
hind him. The gates of the pen
itentiary swung outward to him
by virtue of a decree by Judge
Mccarthy of the district court
acting upon a writ of habeas cor
pus on the ground that Coleman
was being illegally detained be-
cause the former state pardon
board had commuted his SEN
tence to expire about ten days
ago, Notwithstanding the revoca-
tion of the order by the present
board.
Coleman was deputy under for
mer State Treasurer 0. V. Allen,
who confessed to embezzlement
and is still serving a sentence of
five to ten years. Allen endea-
voTed to obtain clemency from
the former pardon board, but
failed.
When Allen was arrested Cole
man was in Portland, but re-
turned at once to Boise. He was
arrested at the railroad station
here.
On December l, 1914, he enter
ed the district court and when
first arraigned entered a plea OF
not guilty. Later in the day he
pleaded guilty and asked to be
sentenced at once. His actua
commitment was made on De.
cember 26, 1914, the delay being
caused by the pending treasury
investigations.

bill introduced by Representatives

ed tonight by being indefinitely
postponed. The vote to kill stood
20 to IA. This measure was the
so-called labor bill and called fol
compulsory workmen's compen'
sation. It's defeat leaves but one
bill of the same nature pending
in the legislature, or the Rock
we'll elective workmen's compen.
sation act. This bill is assured
of passage as it has the backing
of the republicans and five demo
cratic senators who refused tt

representatives a deadlock ovel
its passage may result.

warm on the bills. Both were
set for committee of the whole

support the Bates bill. This is
the measure that the Idaho fed
