MILLER FILES COMPLAINT
CHARGING BATTERY

A complaint has been filed by
the prosecuting attorney against
William Grotte, charging him
with battery. The complaining
witness in the action is a Russian
named Mike Miller, who has been
employed at the Benewah flume
under GrOtte, who is in charge Of
the work. According TO the story
told by Miller, GrOtte discharged
him a few days ago, giving him
rs minutes in which to leave the
camp. Miller had injured his
ankle prior to this time and pro-
tested that he was unable to
walk to town, stating that he
would stay at the camp until he
could get a ride in. Miller states
that GrOtte then struck and beat
him and threw him out into the
snow, where he lay for several
hours before he was brought to
town and taken to a hospital. The
case was started before Probate
Judge Cromwell but a change OF
venue was taken on motion OF
| w. d. Keeton, attorney for Grotte,
and transferred to Justice
Schulte's court. Justice Schultz
contemplates leaving for the
east the latter part of the week
and it is probable that the case
will again be transferred.

IDAHO HOME GUARD
TO BE ORGANIZED

While the war department de-
clined to permit the organization
OF a battalion of national guard
because of the draft which will
draw upon available men within
age limitations for military serv-
ice, the adjulant general of the
army will permit organization of
state guards which will receive
the recognition Of the war de-
partment and will be empowered
to guard life and property within
the state when needed. Suggest
i've plans for the organization of
such a guard are asked from all
state adiutant generals, and Ad-
jutant General c.. S. Moody Of
Idaho has forwarded some sug-
gestions, he says.
1t was announced a short time
ago by Governor Alexander that
he had requested the adiutant
general to secure permission
from The war department to or
ganizc battalion Of 400 men,
or four companies of 100 men
each. the companies TO be located
i'm various cities advantageously
located i'm various parts Of the
state. General Moody complied
with the request. The adiutant
general has since informed him
that the second draft is about to
go into effect and the organiza-
tiOn of troops under the national
guard would draw upon these
men and in that way interfere
with the draft. while declining
to permit the springing up Of a
national guard organization, he
said that the war department will
| give recognition to a state guard.
The plans for the state guard
which numerous states in the
union beside Idaho now want. are
being formed on the plans and
suggestions submitted by the ad-
iutant generals of the various
states.
tt is likely that the organization
will take on the appearance Of a
"home guard" such as the Idaho
state council Of defense requested
organized some time ago. The
members Of the "home guard"
companies would probably be
j those who are not now eligible
i f. draft under the present law,
2 or men over 81 years Of age.
2 Tn the event of serious labor
e disturbances or the necessity for
= guarding property, such as rail
d roads, etc. the "home guard" can
t perform the duty just as easily
}. as members of the old national
guard Of the state, it is claimed.
] IT the "home guard" plans go
b into effect it is expected there
5 will be lively bidding on the part
y of various Idaho cities for recog-
G milton. Some of them now have
n "home guards" formed ready for
e call at any time.

Judge Bryan, on October
p, 1914, sat outside the 10
cal limits of his jurisdiction
being the Seventh judicial
district. When he or any
other district judge sits out
side of his local limits, un-
less he does so as prescribed
by section 1886, and all Of

years incarcerated in the peni-
tentiary, seeks his liberty on a

claims, through his attorneys,
that Judge Ed. L. Bryan Of the
Third judicial district court was
without jurisdiction when he
sentenced him.
The application for a writ Of
habeas corpus was filed Saturday
with the supreme court. 1t is
announced that tribunal has not
as yet taken action with regard
to it.
Allen was sentenced October
l22, 1914. 1t is held by his coun-
sci that the terms of section 1886
of the revised codes were not
compiled with in that proper ac-
ton was not taken in the transfer
of Judge Bryan from the juris-
diction of his court to that Of the
Third judicial district where SEN
tence was passed.
Section 1886. provides in part
as follows "A district judge may

E. H. Rogers, fireman on Train

wreck at Omega yesterday NOR

travelling about twenty miles an
hour, ran into a slide, the engine
leaving the track. Roth the en-
gineer and fireman jumped but
the latter was crushed by a large
boulder which had been dislodged
when the train struck the slide.
He was pinned beneath the
boulder, weighing several tons,
which rested across both legs
lust above the knees, and it was
necessary to dig under the boul-
der in order to release hin.
Rogers displayed the utmost
GOODNESS and nerve, assisting in

AVERY MAN HAS IDEA
TO PROTECT SHIPS

Louis Olson, a logging con-
tractor Of Avery, was in the city
the first of the week with a model
of an idea he is perfecting to
protect ships from torpedoes. Mr..
Olson's idea embodies a series of
steel plates to be placed on the
sides of ships, each plate being
fastened to a bar which is Oper-
ated by a winch so when the ship
is not in the danger zone the
plates may be raised and drawn
to the sides of the ship. When
lowered the plates extend some
distance from the side Of the ship,
the idea being that the torpedo
will strike one of the plates and
explode without causing any
damage to the boat. The plates
are equipped with rudders which
will hold them out from the shiI
when the latter is in motion
Mr.. Olson has sent a model oi
his invention to the secretary Of
! the navy to ascertain whether il
can be put into practical use.
