MEETING OF TRADES coUNCIL

seen fifty years of active service in
the trade union movement; here's to
brother Compersl
The important topic Of the evening
was the coming convention Of the
State Federation of Labor. which will
convene in the capital city on January
is. All delegates seem to be very anx-
ious for the big meeting and much dis
cussion was INDUCED in in regard to
the delegates entertainment, etc.
Contentedness and prosperity SEEM
ed to be quite in evidence when the
roll of organizations was called, as
none Of the unions had any complaint
to make as to hard times or trouble
OF any kind within their crafts. Sew
eral of the locals reported having fail
ed to elect any delegates to the COM
ing convention, but nearly all Of them
intend to do so at their next meetings.
AS whole, very lively and inter-
esting meeting was held; meeting
which starts the new year with hopes
of great things for organized labor
in Boise and Idaho in the coming
months.
Adjournment was taken until next
Wednesday evening at which time an
extra meeting will be held for the
purpose of considering Legislative mat
tiers. All delegates are thereby given
notice to be in attendance on that
evening as important business will be
transacted. Don't forget the night
Wednesday, January 10, 1917.

shooter and started to pull the trig-
ger. He never pulled It as at that
juncture Sheriff Pfost who was direct
Is behind him pinioned in his arms and
Deputy Summerville disarmed him.
Daily was taken to the county Jail and
after being searched locked up.
Among his effects was found evidence
that he had been purchasing consider
able alcohol of late and it is believed
by Sheriff Pfost that Daily was tenn
porarily deranged through excessive
use of the drug
In the meantime the County Attor-
ney filed an insanity charge against
DAILY. If it is found that alcohol was
the cause of the trouble the charge
fled will probably be changed to a
milder one.
DAILY is we'll known rancher OF the
Boise district and besides wife he
has two children. His farm consists
Of tract of 100 acres and he had all
ways been regarded as a prosperous
and law abiding citizen by his neigh

ward TO State Street, thence over
State to Eight street and then to its
final destination in front of the Idaho

affair and there was general scat
tering for shelter by many pedestrian:
