FATE WITH
Il JURORS
Case Given to Jury at 1920 Today and
No Verdict Reached as Paper
Goes to Press

: The fate of Homer B. McClung
passed into the hands of the jury at
1920, today. Since then the jury has
been out wrestling with the complex
problem presented in the trial.
Frederick c. Robertson, leading
counsel for the defense, spoke for
two hours this morning making an eff
fective presentation of the case for
his client. He was followed 1y
Frank l. Moore, prosecuting attorney,
closing for the state. After Judge
Steele had given his instructions the
case was turned over to the jurors.
One of four verdicts is possible: A
death sentence of life term in pris-
on for murder in the first degree; a
prison sentence with life as the max
imum for murder in the second de-
gree; a prison sentence for man
slaughter; or acquittal.
At o'clock this afternoon, when
the StarMirror went to press the
jury was still out and gave no indica-
tions of reaching a verdict.

TERRIFIC
ARTILLERY
ASSAULTS
Germans Open Great Of
fensive for the Recovery
of Positions Taken
GUNS ROAR ON BOTH SIDES
Indications Point to a Tremendous
Drive by HfBdenburg Against the
French Advanced Positions

PARIS-A titanic artillery strug-
gle is progressing over the greater
part of the French Front, 1t is Of
ficially stated. Between Ailette and
Houlin-Laffaux in the sections east of
Chevreaux Wood and north of Rheims
the fire is heaviest from the German
batteries. A violent bombardment of
the French positions was directed last
night along the Champagne. The
guns on both sides roared unceasing-
ly throughout the night. A German
attack was repulsed near Monte Te-
ton. The violence of the German
artillery assault suggests the possi-
bility that Hindenburg is preparing
offensive against the French.
The German artillery fire has been
intense for three days. The positions
under bombardment are principally
those commanding the valleys lead
ing to Iaon taken by the French in
the April offensive.

SOME WASHINGTON WOMEN
SHOW HOW 1T is DONE.
Plant Is Acres Of Donated Land to
Crops and Do All the Work With
out Help From Mere Men.

SPOKANE women of Mans
field, Wash, gave practical DEM
onstration of their desire to do their
bit on extra food production when
they snapped UP the offer of |. A.
Washburn which gave them twenty
five acres of summer fallow land for
their disposal.
The women who volunteered for this
work made the trip to Mr.. Washburn S
ranch, three miles southeast of town,
and, working in relays, they followed
the plow, which was donated by Mr..
Washburn. Potatoes, cabbage, beans
and corn followed each other in rapid
succession with peas and onions to
follow The women asked no out
side help, but completed their own or
ganization and showed their ability to
handle the situation.

FARMERS DEFEAT
HIGHWAY DISTRICT
BY HEAVY VOTE
VOTE AGAINST ORGANIZATION is
ALMOST UNANIMOUS IN
SOME PRECINCTS

There will be no Troy
Juliaetta Highway district just yet.
1t went by the board at the election
Tuesday according to few scattering
returns from some of the precincts
in the proposed district. Juliaetta,
that was supposed to be strong for the
creation of the district, turned it down
by a vote of 81 against and 80 for
Cornwall cast an almost unanimous
vote against the proposition-62 to / !;
Little Potlatch is reported to be in the
same frame of mind as Cornwall; Troy
is against the creation of the district
by substantial majority. Kendrick
is the only precinct thus far reported
in favor of the proposition and the
majority there is light.
On the meager. returns thus far in
the judgments is based that the dis
trict is defeated by an overwhelming
majority. The official returns from
the precincts were sent into County
Auditor Estes sealed The commits
Sioners will meet next Monday TO can
vass the returns and the exact result
will not be known until that time.
The proposition was to create this
district under the state laws and then
vote bond issue for the construction
of certain roads. The plans included
the construction of a highway from a
point four miles below Juliaetta up
the Middle Potlatch to Cornwall;
another highway from Juliaetta; and
another from Troy to Cornwall, the
to connect up with the road system of
Nez Perce county and the north and
south state highway.

THAT TANK
GOES WEST
City Council Reaches Tentative Agree
ment to Locate Sewage Disposal
Plant on Most Distant Site

Tentatively the city council at its
session Tuesday evening decided to
locate the sewage disposal plant at
the point furthest west on land owned
by the University of Idaho at what
is known as the Rock Pile"
In response to the suggestion of
Mayor Truitt formal vote on the
proposition was deferred until full
council could be present. Council
men Morris and Boyd were absent at
the time.
City Engineer Smith reported TO
the council that the cost of extending
the pipe line for the sewage from the
present plant to the proposed plant
would be about $4,000. This was
much less than former estimates
which ranged from $4,000 to $4,000.
There was a large delegation of
citizens present at the council meet
ing again and all expressions heard
were in favor of the most distant for
the septic tank and other parts of
the sewage disposal plant. 1t is the
understanding that formal vote will
be taken on the proposition and that
the machinery will be started at once
to locate the plant on the new site.
Only routine matters We're consid-
cred outside of the sewage problem.
