BURGLARS AT WORK
AT UNION MARKET

Burglars entered the Union
Market early last evening and
stole a small amount of change
which had been left in the safe.
Entrance was gained by breaking
a small board which had been
nailed over a hole from which a
pane Of glass was missing in the
back door. The intruder then
thrust his arm through the hole
and released a bar fastening the
door.
A small amount of change had
been left in the safe over night
and this was taken. Several
checks and a 81 bill, which were

The robbery was discovered by
Ed Kirk, manager of the market,
about eleven o'clock and must
have taken place in the early
part of the evening. So far as is
known nothing else was taken
and the intruder even replaced
part of the board in the door in
an evident attempt to hide the
fact that the place had been en-
tered.

The board of county commits

board of equalization, equalizing
the assessment for this year.
All protests or claims for re-
duction must be filed before the
last Monday of this month, at
which time the board of equali-
zation will adjourn.
Up to the present time 26 ex-
emptions have been allowed by
the board and six have been
denied. OF those allowed IA
we're widows, 10 were soldiers
and two were estates held by
orphans. The six exemptions
which were not allowed were all
claimed by widows. Four of
them were refused on the grounds
that the applicants we're not resi-
dents of the state and the other
two because the property in
question is valued at more than
s5,OOO.OO.
Before going into session as a
board of equalization the board
considered and allowed a petition
asking for the division of Road
District No. 9 into two districts.
This district is in the southern
part of the county embracing the
territory near Tensed and San

ralay follows the line of Hangman

known as District No. 10.

SECURES INJUNCTION TO
PREVENT SHERIFF's SALE

Attorney Allen A. Holsclaw was
at Occur d'Alene Tuesday and
secured an injunction from the
district court restraining Sheriff
Noland from selling certain ma
chinery at DeSmet under a chat
tel mortgage, the sale of which
was to have taken place We'd
nesday.
The chattel mortgage, which
was for the sum of 100000, was
given by George M. Miller of
DeSmet to D. NJ. Click of the
same place, and was foreclosed
by notice and sale. The plaintiff
in the action for the injunction,
Mr. Miller, claims that $4,000
has been paid on the note for
which no credit has been given.
The note is also attacked on the
grounds that while it provides
for reasonable attorneys fees in
case of foreclosure by decree no
provision is made for attorneys
fees if foreclOsed by notice and
sale, the procedure followed in
this case. The defendant asks
for $4,000 attorneys fees.
In the foreclosure proceedings
Mr.. Click was represented by
Attorneys C. S. Malone Of Plum
mer and J. d. McManus of Tekoa
Attorney Allen A. Holsclaw is
representing Mr.. Miller.
