CALLS DUNCAN SAFE MAN.
Petition Asks for Release of Man Ac-
cused of Killing Wife.

Rutland. June 26.-George w. Duncan,
who was acquitted Of murder in the first
degree at the last September term of
Rutland county court, has brought pc
tion of habeas corpus to be heard at the
next September term of Rutland county
court. Mr. Duncan is being detained at
the state hospital for the insane at Wat
erbury and the petition is brought to
secure his release.
The Duncan case was one of the most
sensational ever tried in Rutland coun-
ty court, as the plea advanced by his
counsel was as unusual as it was con-
yincing. Mr.. Duncan was indicted for
first degree murder, following the shoot
ing of his wife, Malinda Duncan, at the
home of a relative last August, He was
acquitted by the jury, being mot gull
ty by reason of insanity" He was rep
resented by Attorneys J. c. Jones and f.
H. O'Brien of this city
The petition states that Mr.. Duncan
is detained and imprisoned by w. L.
WATSON, superintendent of the state hos
pital for the insane at Waterbury, for
the purpose of determining whether Mr..
Duncan is safe to be at large and wheth.
err or not his discharge would be danger
Gus to the community.
1t shows further that on November 3,
the judges of the Rutland county court
ordered that Duncan be confined in the
state hospital for the insane at Water
bury at the expense of the state until
further order from the court or until
otherwise discharged by law. He has
been confined at the hospital since No
vember 3.
The petition states further that at the
present time and for long time here
-ofore, Mr.. Duncan has been safe to be
1t large and is not dangerously insane
md that detention is therefore unjust
ind contrary to law

ADAIR WILL PROSECUTE M
CARELESS CHECK WRITER'S

Because it seems to be an almost
prevalent custom in Bingham county
to write checks first and count the
balance afterwards, sometimes to dis.
cover that the check is greater than
the balance, Prosecuting Attorney
Ralph W. Adair announced to a rep
resentative of The Republican this
week that he means to put a stop to
the practice. He. has been increas-
fngly bothered by instances of Gin
sufficient funds" which are almost
daily brought to him for attention,
and as the law specifically arranges
for the punishment of persons who
write checks without sufficient bank
credit, he intends to prosecute the
offenders.
ut is a criminal offense," said Mr..
Adair, to issue checks on a bank
or other depository without funds or
credit to meet the demand. l have
been lenient with persons violating
the law in this connection, but be-
cause the evil is becoming so pre-
valent I am impelled to take steps
to stop it. This office will prosecute
and secure severe punishment against
offenders hereafter. 1t will be the
policy of my office to prosecute every
person violating this law, on COM

the arguments of the two editors,
read the old contracts and rendered
Mr.. Dooley SIS, which he refused.
He brought suit against the county
and recently secured judgment for
1857.
At the January meeting of the
board the contract for publications
for 1917 and 1918 was given to The
Republican, and by consent of the
board and county clerk, Editor Trego
condenses 1t so it is more easily read,
easier to understand and it takes
up so much less space that the cost
Of publication is only a fraction of
what it was before. The present ad-
ministration and present official
paper are acting in harmony to give
the public the greatest possible pub
licity in county business for the least
possible expense. The assigned &C.
counts that have for so long been
an avenue of slipping questionable
bills thru the treasury are now being
published In detail, each one being
named and the amount given, so the

GOOD ENGLISH WEEK

This is good English week. All
thru the schools an effort will be
made to kill out the doubtful points
in the use of our language and firmly
settle the correct usage in growing
minds.
Some of the points are: the singu-
lar noun when used even in a gen.
eral waySmust be represented always
by singular pronoun. Example: s'If
a person wants his pencil sharpened
let him sharpen it himself or he will
not find It ready" 1t is so natural
to say "a person" and be thinking of
several, and mention the person with
such pronouns as their" and
they; don't Is too short to be regu-
lar, and and proper use makes it
doesn't; had ought" and hadn't
ought" are barbarous; then there
are the troublesome past perfects,
had seen. and "have Done which
quite easily twist themselves into
had saw" and "have did" unless
they are gripped with determination;
slang and INSTRUMENTATION will have
a share Of the attention.

JUDGE GOODS HOME
WRECKED BY FIRE

The residence of Probate Judge
James Good caught fire Tuesday aft.
ernoon and before it could be put
out the blaze destroyed most of the
roof. All the household goods were
saved by the prompt work OF class
Of IA boys of the eighth grade who
were released from the Central
school when smoke was first seen.
1t Is not certain where the fire
started, but probably In q defective
fiue, as the roof was badly burned
Immediately around the central Chin
ney. The department arrived in 10
minutes after the first report, which
came at 3 O'Clock, and had the situa-
ton under control in 10 minutes.
Mrs. Good was first to report the
fire. She had been resting and was
aroused by the cracking sound of
the fire as 1t crept along the rafters
of the roof. Downstairs the damage
consists in soaked plaster, walls and
carpets, for the firemen used the
water generously, having no nozzle
for their hose.
The men of Blackfoot showed
readiness in this crisis. There was
no lack Of man power to fight the
blaze. Some had ON business suits.
All were soaked with water and
smeared with soggy charcoal.
The loss was settled for at 1898
by c. s. Beebe, fire insurance agent.
G. V. Fisher is owner of the house,
which is at 1876 South University.

ARRESTED FOR BAD
CHECK BUT FREED

/ A man was arrested Monday by
Sheriff A. H. Simmons on the COM
plant of Blackfoot business house
to which he had given a check with
out sufficient funds to make it good
at the bank. Upon being examined
at his hearing he proved that he had
the money up to the first of the
month, and the check would have
been honored If presented. Receiv-
ing his bank balance ON the first he
drew out his money and started from
town. The affair was satisfactorily
settled
1t is the law that any one receiv-
ing check should present it lat the
bank for payment within reason
able time. Under ordinary circum-
stances the law holds that one day
is a reasonable time limit. The
writer of check is not released from
responsibility, but an endorser would
be, if the check were held unpre-
sented for an unreasonable length
of time.
