INCOME OF SCHOOLS
MUCH INCREASED

Idaho made long strides to-
wards a taxless state so far as
its schools and educational in
are concerned during
the year 1917. The income of
the schools and Institutions from
interest and rentals was 1892, 900
greater than for the preceding
year. This is largely accounted
for by the large land sales made
recently.
The total amount on which in
terest is received has been in
creased and will grow larger
each year for some time to come.
The state still has large tracts
of land which are being held for
The educational Institutions and
when these are sold the sources
of revenue will be correspond
ingly increased.
The income of the schools and
educational Institutions for the
year 1914 was 1922, O7O; for 1915,
.S34O,838: for 1916, S364,3i7 and
for 1917, S496,355.

Il is reported from Boise that

are having trouble auditing Red
Cross war fund receipts, only a

final reports to State Treasurer

TABLES TURNED
ON IOWA LAWYER
BY A WOMAN
How Indictment Was Returned
Against Attorney General Of
Iowa Explained by an
Affidavit. ~.

Red Oak, Ia, Sept. 7.-(Special. y
1t was not case of the worm, but
instead it was woman who turned,
and it has happened here in Red Oak
in the course of the events in con-
nection with the prosecution OF Rev.
Lyn G. ]. Kelly. charged with the
murder of the Moore family in Vii
iisca. @s
1t has become public property that
Attorney General Havner has been
indicted by the grand jury Of Mont
gomery county, but how the indict-
ment happened to be brought about
was a closely guarded court secret
until a few hours ago. Now it is
known that had ii not been for the
affidavit Of Mrs. Alice Willard there
would not have been enough evidence
against the attorney general to have
justified the grand jury in returning
the bill. '
Third Party, Says Mrs. Willard.
Mrs. Willard is witness sum-
moned in behalf Of the Kellys. She
resides in Villisca and at the trial it
is expected that her testimony will be
to the effect that party other than
Kelly, killed the members of the
Moore family. lt~-... ~,
Some months ago Mrs. Willard
made an affidavit that got into the
custody of Montgomery county Off
cials and subsequently the grand jury
was called. 1t is said that on account
Of the facts set forth in this affidavit
the court felt justified in summoning
the jury. In this affidavit Mrs. Will
lard says: !

VICTIMS RELATIVES ON BOND.
The particular interest Of the bond
offered was in the personnel Of the
signatories, which included John s.
Montgomery, father Of Mrs. Joseph
Moore, one Of the villisca victims;
c. E. Fisher, nephew of Joseph
Moore; Joseph Stillinger, father Of
two girls who were slain; Mrs. C.. c.
oMore, mother Of Joe Moore; Ross

ley, A. D. Silverthorne. D. n. Hoven-
den. F. N. Stennett and Harry Ogden.
Messrs. Stillinger, Miller, Peterson
and Willett head the Kelly defense
committee which Is raising funds for
the prisoner during the trial. Mr..
Stillinger presided at the Wilkerson
meeting held in the Boyd theater at
Omaha two months ago.
Attorney Sutton OF counsel for
Kelly believes that the states method
of examination of jurors indicates
that the prosecution does not expect
to insist on capital punishment if
Kelly should be found guilty.
The court offered no comment
when the bond was presented, fur
ther than to say that ,he would not
entertain it, The ebohd was recorded
on request of the defense.
Fear Kelly's Removal.
At the close OF court counsel for
the defense asked the court to order
copy Of the Kelly confession to be
furnished by the state, which will be
done this morning when Attorney
Hess in Council Bluffs will hand At
torney Mitchell Of that city the docu-
mcnt ...s "a. ,..s.
Attorney Suptton advised the court
that If the state made any attempt to
remove Kelly from the Red Oak jail
during the adjournment period, ha-
beas corpus proceedings would be
started. ,
The net result Of the four days ef-
fort to impanel jury was the ex-
animation Of hfty-seven men from
whom eighteen have been chosen to-
ward probable limit of thirty-two
from which latter quota the final
jury will be selected.
1t will not be known who are
stricken from the list until both sides
have exhausted their peremptory chai-
ienges. 1t is believed each side will
exercise the limit of ten peremptory
challenges. Thus far each side has
disposed of three. There are indi-
cations that several days more work
will be. necessary to strike jury. \
Sheriff Dunn states that the pris-
oner continues to relish his meals.
and at the. Jail has shown no signs of
weakening. During storms at night
he appears disturbed The sheriff says
he is not given to crying. but on the
contrary, feels rather elated over the
thought that he has an organization
which is caring for his financial needs.
Contributions are being made every
day The committee has promised
Kelly and his wife place in Mont
gomery county where they may work,
upon the assumption that the prison
cr will be acquitted.
"Red Oak and the surrounding
country is stirred up almost in the
manner of Kentcky feud," remarked
a man who knows the local situation.
The difficulty of securing jury to
try the case was the chief topic of
discussion here today. The first four
men up this morning were excused
in short order when they insisted that
strong convictions disqualified them.
