JUDGMENT is AFFIRMED

Judgment of the district court for
Idaho county in favor of the plaintiffs
in the cases of William Lies against
William Mulhall, and Marcus Lies and
Jacob Lorentz against William Mulhall,
has been affirmed by the idaho supreme
court, in a decision handed down re-
Gently.
The cases were the outcome of the
sale by Mr.. Mulhall to the plaintiffs
of land which in part included the
townsite of Denver The plaintiffs de-
clared that in making the deal the
amount of the land was represented to
them by the defendant and that they
had no way of knowing the amount ex-
cept upon his claims. Afterward
when they came to sell the land plain
tiffs discovered, they said, that they
were short quantity of land and found
that the defendant had included the
area of all streets and alleys in the
town of Denver in arriving at the
amount of land, although he did not
own the lots adjacent to most of such
streets.
The district court awarded the plain
tiffs Judgment for the deficiency in the
quantity of land each respective plain
tiff had purchased, included in the
streets adjacent TO the lots not owned
by Mr.. Mulhall The defense was that
the original contracts merged in the
deed and that the plaintiffs had agreed
to have the area calculated as it had

SPECIAL SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE
CONSIDERED
GOVERNOR is EXPECTED TO CALI
LAWMAKERS ToG ETHER
IN BOISE
TO AID COUNTY COUNCILS
Granting of Police Power to Patriotic
Bodies Among Matters 20
Be Settled.

A special session of the Idaho legis
lature is being seriously considered by
Governor Alexander, who realizes the
need for special war legislation at the
, present time. The governor is momen-
tarily expected to issue the call for the
state lawmakers to meet in Boise.
Legislation to grant the various coun-
ellis of defense police power is said TO
be greatly needed, in order that the
councils may be adequately equipped
to promptly and effectively deal with
all cases of disoyalty which arise with
in the respective counties of the state
The state council of defense also finds
itself without authority to handle an
noying situations which from time to
time arise.
The recent destruction of the Lewis
ton State Normal school building by
fire, with the development that it can
not be constructed without legis-
lative action on account of the insur-
anee money going into the general
fund, has added another factor in fav-
or legislative session.
The reconstruction Of the Soldiers
Home, at Boise, destroyed by fire. also
must wait legislative action.
Lieut.. Gov. E. L. Parker of Cotton
wood, who has gone to Boise to attend
a meeting of the state defense council,
is said to favor a special legislative
session.

ton in the allowed consumption.
