THE GUY BUSTER
MURDER TRIAL

The time of the district court has
time of our going to press with the
trial of Guy Buster. This is a change
of venue from Lemhi county. In Ap-
ril, 1913, Buster was accused of kill
ing a man named Brown at North
Fork, in Lemhi county. Buster was
arrested and tried and sentenced on a
second degree murder charge. He was
taken to the penitentiary where he
has spent about two years. In the
meantime an appeal was taken to the
supreme court and the court remand
ed the case for new trial on the con-
tention that the evidence was not
sufficient to justify conviction on
a charge of murder. For the new
trial a change of venue was asked
and the case Transferred to Lincoln
county. The case went to the jury
about five O'Clock Wednesday even
ing and at the time of writing this
four o'clock Thursday it is still out
In the first trial of Buster Judge
Stevens was on the bench in that dis
trict and Judge Cowan. the present
judge of that district was attorney
for Buster. In the present trial Judge
Stevens appears as attorney for the
defendant. John Il. Reese, prosecut-
ing attorney for Lemhi county and
Senator Whitcomb. of that county,
represent the state.
Just as we go to press it is learned
that the jury, in the Buster case has
returned verdict of not guilty and
Buster is released after serving near
ly two years in the penitentiary from
his conviction in his first trial

CHECK ARTIST
GETS CHECKED

The sheriffs office succeeded in
landing an active check artist last
Tuesday in the person Of Bert Dean.
Dean worked while last summer for
A. L. Horn, foreman of the Sims
ranch of Fred Gooding. Monday eve
ming late Dean went to the Shoshone
Hardware and purchased a few dol
lars worth of goods, offering in pay
ment check for s47.5O purporting to
have been signed by Horn in favor
of Trawl Box. Dean represented him
self as being Trawl Box. It being
after banking hours the Hardware
company was unable to give Box the
change so they gave their check for
s39s0. Dean took this check to the
Manhattan Cafe and got it cashed.
Tuesday the hardware people went to
deposit the check but something
about it excited the suspicion of Ar
thur Hansen. the receiving clerk at
the bank and he called Mr. Horn by
telephone and asked if he had issued
such a check to Trawl Box. Mr.. Horn
repudiated the check. Just about this
time the Golden Rule store called up
the bank to inquire if Mr. A. L. Horn
had an account there, good for ten
dollars. They were asked by the bank
to bring the check to the bank at
once. which they did and a COMPARE
son showed the two checks to have
been made by the same person. Dean
had gone to the Golden Rule and re-
presented himself as Mr.. Horn. He
bought corset and offered his check
in payment, but wished TO make the
check for. ten dollars. The value OF
the corset was s2sS and he wanted
the change in cash. which was given
him This check he made payable to
the Golden Rule and signed A. L.
Horn. AS soon as the Golden Rule
people brought the check to the bank
the bank called up the sheriff's Of
flee and within an hour from the time
the check was signed the artist was
McFall hotel. He gave his name as
Bert Dean. The corset and the hard
ware was found and returned to its
owners but the cash was spent Dean
was arraigned before Probate Judge
Miles wednesday where he waived
preliminary examination until Friday
=, f+or,oop and was remanded to the
custody of the sheriff. Since then
Dean has confessed to two more forg-
cries in which he signed the name or
Will Ivie. These were issued last Oc-
tober and the authorities have been
looking ever since for the man who
issued them. This time he played the
game too open and the Officers were
too vigilant for him.

POPULATION Of
SCHOOLS INCREASE

The annual school census is un-
doubtedly the most reliable of all fig
ures indicating the growth of the pop
ulation of Idaho during the period of
the ten years following a Federal
census. Idaho's school population,
which means the number of residents
between the ages of and 81, was
123,4S4 in 1915. In 1916 the number
was 12S.O66 according to the certified
reports of the County Superintend-
ents of Public obstruction recently
of Education. This shows an increase
of 1882 for the entire state during the
year. However some counties show a
very pronounced loss in school popu-
lation.
Lincoln county shows a gain of 152
for the year 1916.
1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection that the General School Fund
of the state has grown faster than the
population during the past year. On
January 1st, 1917, there remained in
this fund TO be apportioned during
January s134.163.69. When distribut-
ed among the counties of the State
on the basis of the county census
given above; the per capita amount
for each child of school age was ST.
0476. Last year in January the per
capita distribution of this fund am
ounted to but sO.S626 per child OF
school age while in January 1915, the
per capita amount was s0.7562s. In
July, 1916, the amount from this
source distributed among the public
schools of the state was s2.0s14 per
capita which added to the present dis
tribution per capita of $1,0476 gives
approximately $3.14 per pupil for the
year. This is about 30c per pupil
more than ever received before dur
ing a year and amounts to more than
a 10 per cent increase over 1915. Thus
it becomes apparent that the fund is
not only growing fast enough to off
set increase in school population but
gives fine increase per capita in
addition.
Lincoln county gets s1745.32 from
this January apportionment.

MOVIE FACTS AND FANcIEs.

We like to tell our readers about
the movies"
You see the motion pictures every
day. If you should miss day some
one in your family goes in your place
and comes back and tells you all about
the pictures.
Motion pictures are the greatest
source Of family circle talk on the
face of the earth More people see
them every day in America than the
total number of soldiers in all the
armies now fighting in Europe.
You are told frequently that motion
pictures have become the fifth larg-
est industry in this great country
But. stated alone, that may mean very
little to you
Let us tell you something more:
Do you know that in Los Angeles,
the greatest point of film manufacture
on the Pacific Coast, 275,0oo persons
in the city derive their largest reve-
nues. for income purposes, from the
movies? There are 100000 persons
in the city and just about half OF
them depend on the movies for liv-
ing. The picture industry saved Los
Angeles from sliding back, from ex-
piring after overcoming by real es-
tate men, 1t made the city grow, and
now. for all time, it will be great and
prosperous.
Do you know, also. that there are
close to $4,000 places in which pic
lures are shown between the Canadian
line and the Mexican border More
than 100000 men, women and youths
are employed in the operation of these
picture houses regularly. More than
80 900. 600 persons pay admissions and
enter the doors of these houses each
and every week in the year.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE ROUND
HOUSE.

The dream of the oldest inhabitants
Of Shoshone seems to be in fair way
of partial fulfillment in the rehabiii-
tation of the round house and ma
chine shops. Two crews of some thir-
ty or forty men are now at work re-
modelling the old buildings. 1t is esti-
mated that two or three months work
will be required to complete the plans
and that some forty thousand dollars
will be spent in the improvements All
Of which adds to The permanency of
the town and surrounding country will
be benefited. 1t is good to know that
the rs,liroads needs are such at this
point as to justify these improve
rients.

have talked in the last few
months many men who have been
aboard one kind OF craft or another
when it was torpedoed-but no one of
them has been able to give so COM
prehensive, so illuminative account of
what the experience was like as Capt.
Rupert S. Gwatkin- Williams. the Of
ficer who was in command of the
converted Irish Channel packet Tara"
when she was sunk by a German
submarine in the Mediterranean at
the end of 1915. The account of the
torpedoing of his ship which follows
is from his personal diary. written
while he was a prisoner Of the Sen
ussi, to whom he and his men We're
handed over by the commander of the
German submarine.
1T was a fine morning, and / was
on deck looking for Sollum, which we
were approaching. Suddenly the
lookout in the crows nest gave hail
and pointed. Looking over the star
board rail l saw torpedo. about 300
yards away, leaping toward us. Habit
made me look at my wrist watch. 1t
was 1910 a. m. The torpedo fascinat-
ed me for a moment. In that mar
velously clear water I could note its
every detail. The fishlike body show
ed bright varmilion in the sunlight.
with black square patches on top
where the balance chamber was. 1t
seemed to travel along in ever
quickening spurts. and as it got closer
and closer could see the detonating
apparatus of striker and whiskers' in
its nose, and the various valves and
levers for adjusting and starting the
engines.
81 realized at once that we were a
'goner,' our speed being too slow to
dodge. Nothing but the unlikely event
of the torpedo failing to explode
could save the ship. On rushed the
torpedo. The ship was just beginning
to gather weigh. when she was struck
on the starboard side, fair against the
engine room. A dull, mumbling,
cracking roar. and a great black col
umn rose as high as the main lower
masthead. l suppose that it was
formed of water, smoke. coal. and de-
bris. but it was impossible to say.
Only its blackness impressed me. A
great yawning hole in the side. the
deck blown away, and the aerial of the
wireless destroyed--this was the re-
suit"
Heavy as was the explosion and
comparatively small the ship-she was
under 1000 tons-in the case of the
blowing up of the Tara" Captain
williams assured me that the shock
of the explosion where he stood
about a hundred feet away-was by
no means great; that. had he not seen
the torpedo, he might well have thot
