Many Cases For
District Court
CALENDAR HAS AZ CRIMINAL ACTIONS
If All Cases Are Tried Term Will Be Longest Ever
Held In County

The calendar for the fall term
Of the district couBt for this
county, which will be held in
this city starting November 3.
has been prepared and is now i'm
the hands of the printer. The
calendar is the largest which
this county has ever had for a
court term and the session
promises to be a long one if all
the cases are tried.
The criminal calendar con-
tains forty-seven cases, of which
number forty-one are for the
crime of criminal syndicalism.
OF the remaining six cases. four
are charged with illegal posses
sion of liquor; one with assault
with intent to kill; and one with
assault with deadly weapon.
The latter case is one which
arose over road troubles i'm
Benewah.
On the civil law calendar are
twelve cases, seven of which are
pending on demurrers and mo-
tiOns. The civil trial calendar
also contains twelve cases, Of
which three are considered inn
portant and will probably be
hard fought. These are the
cases of Milwaukee Land Co.
against Mary r. Ferrell, an action
on contract; Jesse Booher against
O. C.. Hopkins, ct al, an action for
personal injuries; and T.. j. Full
mer and wife against the Valen-
tine-Clark Co., an action for
damages. In each of these three
cases a large amount of money
is involved.
The equity calendar contains
five cases, several of which are
continued over from former
terms. Included in these cases
are the condemnation suits of
Renewah county against James
Paullus and Joseph f.. Zehner
for a right of way for road in
the Benewah district. The di-
vorce calendar contains eight
cases, most of which are listed
as ready for trial.
Judge Robert N. Dunn of
Coeur d'Alene will preside over
the term of court, which, if all
the cases are tried, promises to
be the longest term this county
has had.

RAILWAY COMPANY SUES
TO RECOVER TAXES

The O.-W. R. & N. Railway
company last week filed a petit
ton for Intervention in the suit
of the Plummer Gateway Higr-
way District against the Plummer
Highway District. Argument was
beard on the matter Saturday at
Occur d'Alene and an order has
been entered by the court per-
Uniting intervention. The rail
way company then filed an answer
and cross complaint in the action.
The company is suing in its
cross complaint for the recovery
.cf 1915 and 1916 taxes, paid the
.Plummer Highway District under
protest. The suit of the railway
company is based on the Federal
Court decision in the tax case of
the Milwaukee Railway company
against Benewah county, wherein
it was held that taxes collected
i'm one county cannot be expended
for road work in another county.

the property, although their in
terest in it may have been dis
posed of some time ago. Because
a notice of the proposed forma-
tion of the district was received,
it does not necessarily follow that
the recipient will be assessed to
help pay for the work.
Another mistaken idea which
has been gained is that it is pro-
posed to dixie the entire district,
assessing the cost against the
property. The petition for. the
formation of the district states
that it is the intention of the Pc
tilioners to widen, straighten and
dredge the outlet of Occur d.
Alene lake i'm order to permit the
waters To flow unobstructed. It
has been stated that if diking is
done they will be built by the
smaller districts which are en-
bodied in the large district.

PROPERTY BENEFITED

taxed to help pay for the drain
age district which it is proposed
to form of all the overnowed
lands on the st. Joe, St. Maries
and Ceur d'Alene rivers and Occur

tirely untrue as only the lands
benefited by the proposed district
will be assessed TO pay for the
work.
This report gained credence
from the fact that a number of
people received notices of the
proposed improvement, whose
property is not included in the
lands to be benefited by the dis
trict. This was due to the fact
that on the records their names

result in the quota for Benewah

there. He said a number of sub
scriptions were taken at the

the completion of the subscrip-
tions and it was impossible to
ascertain the total.

WHY LIBERTY BONDS
SHOULD BE BOUGHT
(Contributed)

The supreme opportunity of
American citizenship has come.
The measure of the nations
honor and Of the nations heart
is being taken.
Answering the call of our
President and Congress, we
pledged "our lives and our for
tunes, everything that we are and
everything that we have" Yet
in these six months the fiery
trial and sacrifice" have left us
almost unscathed. Our Allies
armies have borne the heat Of
the battle as they have borne it
for more than three years. But
they are living and fighting,
buoyed up by the knowledge that
we are coming with all our tre-
mendOus offensive of men and
money to their assistance. Every
day, while they wait for us, they
lay down their lives by thous-
ands, either in battle or in the
territories made desolate by war.
Our cities and farms are not
laid waste. Our homes are not
defled. The hands of our little
children are not cut off. Our
loved ones are not starving or
driven insane with agony. And
1t must never be. The brutal
heel of the destroyer must not
touch American soil. Our citi-
zens, our wives, our children
fnust not be murdered by assas-
sins oEthe sea or of the clouds.

such horrors and to answer the

peoples of EurOpe-to put ouI

papers, declaring his intention of
becoming an American citizen.
Ellwood was one of the men
called i'm the draft from this
county and successfully passed

claimed exemption, however, on
the grounds that he was an alien,
being a Canadian, and his claim
was allowed by the exemption
board. The government regula-
tions provide that where a man
is exempted and the cause for
that exemption is removed, he
becomes eligible for military SER
vice and is subject to recall by
the local board.

also a Canadian, took out his
first papers Wednesday in order

Red Cross Plans
Soldiers Christmas
LOCAL CHAPTER TO PROVIDE PACKETS
Donations Must Be AT Red Cross ROUm Monday
Afternoon

The main features of the War
Councils Christmas plans for
soldiers and sailors will be the
distribution of about a million
Christmas packets, and the erec-
ton of a Red Cross Christmas
tree at each cantonment, it has
been decided after several con-
ferences.
Allotment of the number Of
packets to be provided from each
Division is based partly on the
number of soldiers drawn from
each section, and partly on the
degree of Red Cross development
in the respective Divisions. Each
Chapter is to be notified by its
Division Manager of the number
of packets it is expected to pro-
vide. Chapters will be requested
to turn over these packets to the
Division supply warehouses for
distribution, and not direct to any
particular camp or cantonment.
The warehouses will reship the
packets to certain points for for
eign shipment, and to camps,
.cantonments and naval stations
in this country, according to
carefully developed plans for
equal distribution. Approximate
ly one-third of each Chapters
allotment will be needed in the
Division warehouses not late,
than November 1, to allow time
for shipment abroad.
The Bureau of Supplies is
stocking the branch warehouses
with khaki handkerchiefs, writing
pads and checker boards, which
articles are to form part Of the
packets, and when Chapters are
called upon for Christmas pack
cts the articles mentioned will be
available TO them.
The local Chapter is expected
to provide 67 packets, II of which
must be delivered to the Chapter
by Tuesday night in order to be
sent to headquarters d before
November /. The remaining fifty
will be sent later.
Persons desiring to contribute
toward a merry Christmas for our
soldier boys in France may do so
either with cash or any Of the
articles listed below, which
should be delivered at the local
Red Cross room before Monday
morning, if possible, as the
ladies will start making up the
packets for shipment on Tuesday
night, in order that they may
arrive in France before Christ
mas. The list of articles sug-
gested is given below:
