INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE, SAYS
BODY OF MEN INvESTIGA-
TING KILLING.
NAMES OF THE WITNESSES
Jurors, Because of Lack of Time, Do
Not Make Inspection Trip
to the County Home.

Without returning an indictment in
the Soards case, the grand jury, which
had been in session in Grangeville for
more than a week, adjourned Saturday
night.
A large number of witnesses were
examined by the grand jury, which was
called primarily to investigate the
Soards murder, but the only true bill re-
turned was that of Clark McGaffee, in
dicted for assault with intent to com
NIT murder.
The grand jury also Investigated re-
ports of an alleged moonshine still near
Cottonwood, but found that if such ex-
lists, no traffic in liquor is conducted.
Traffic in liquor would constitute the
only violation of the state law. Tie
sheriff was instructed by the grand jury
to advise the federal authorities of the
alleged still. If whiskey or other in
toxicating liquor is being manufactured
in Idaho county, it is a matter purely
for the federal officials to investigate.

Soards murder was lacking, the grand

Dentistry Proves
Body Taken From
RiUe, rs Adsley S
CHART OF WORK DONE ON THE
TEETH OF DEAD MAN IDEN-
TITLES CORPSE.

The body OF Ernest Adsley, who was
drowned in the Little Salmon river,
early in April, has been recovered. 1t
was taken from. the Snake river at
AsOtin, Wn., and was buried at Asotin.
The body, which was badly de,ompos-
ed, was identified by means of dentis-
try which corresPonded to that recorded
on chart Of dental work done for Mr..
Adsley by DR.. G. A. Green of Grange
Vile
The body had been in the water for
two months, and had been dashed for a
distance of more than $50 miles over
jagged rocks and through rapids. All
the hair was gone and most of the flesh
had disappeared.
Mystery to Asotin Officials.
When the body was taken from the
river at Asotin, the case presented
mystery to the Asotin officials for they
knew of no man who recently had lost
his life in the Snake river. The body
was decomposed beyond recognition,
but the teeth remained in the head.
An As0tin undertaken discovered fill
ings in the teeth, and before he inferred
the body he made a chart of the teeth.
Later it was recalled that Adsley had
been drowned in the Little Salmon
river, tributary of the Salmon, which
in turn flows into the Snake river, and
it also was remembered that his body
had not been recovered. 1t then de-
veloped that DR.. Green had done dental
work for Mr.. Adsley and had kept a
chart of the work. A comparison Of the
chart made by DR.. Green with bet
made by the undertaken of the teeth of
the dead man, proved the two identical,
and thus identity of the body was I'M
established.
viii Get Insurance Money.
The chart in possession OF DR.. Green
constitutes proof of the death of Mr.. !
Adsley that will assure his family receiv
ng life insurance money which, it is
said, the insuring company had at first
shown a disposition not to pay,
insisting that proof of Adsley's !
leath had not been shown, although two
non are declared to have seen him fell !
l. to the river and drown

JUDGE AILSHIE IS
HERE IN INTEREST
OF SENATE RACE
FORMER GRANGEvILLE MAN IN
CAMPAIGN TO WIN ToGA-
APPEALS TO NORTH

James F. Ailshie, former chief JUS
tice of the Idaho supreme court, was in
Grangeville Monday from his home at
Occur d'Alene in the interest of his
announced candidacy for the Republi-
can nomination, at the September prim-
airy, for the short term U. S. senatOrship.
Judge Ailshie, who once resided in
Grangeville, is well and favorably
known here, as well as in all parts of
Idaho. His candidacy was announced
some time ago, but he seems to have
done no active campaigning, up to the
time.

Gooding Likely to Be Rival.

Although no formal statement has
been made of opposition to Judge ALL
SHE at the primary, it is generally un-
derstood that Frank R. Gooding, Of
Gooding, former governor of Idaho, will
hurl his hat into the ring. Governor
Gooding at the present time is serving
as federal fuel administrator for Idaho,
and in that capacity has again got his
mare before the public of the state
Judge Ailshie feels that, inasmuch as
he probably will be the only candidate
On either ticket from north Idaho for
the U. S. senate or the governOrship,
he will receive virtually the undivided
support of north Idaho Republicans in
the primary, and he believes also that
the Republicans of southern Idaho, in a
spirit of fairness to the north, will lend
him literally of their support, thus in
surfing his nomination.
Where Judge Ailshie Stands.
Judge Ailshie has not closely defined
the issues of his campaign. lie says
there is only one big issue before the
American public, and that is the win
ming of the war as quickly as possible.
He pledges himself, if elected, to earn
est support of the government in leg
islative way. The judge asserts that
be has always been Republican and
those in a position to know say he will
not fly off on a tangent.

LIEUT.. HUNTREss WOUNDED.

From Him in Field Hospital.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Hpntress of

ter from their son, Lieut. Frank c.
Huntress, 4th division, 18th machine
gun battalion, stating that he had just
been wounded in his left arm and was
in field hospital when he wrote, but
was expecting at any moment to be
moved TO the base hospital.
Lieut.. Huntress states that he was
wounded by a shell, which had shat
tered his arm somewhat, but that he
expected it would be saved 1t may be
inferred that he felt himself very lucky
to have escaped more serious injury
He also wrote that before he was
wounded his battalion had been in ac.
tion two weeks or more and that he
had not had his clothes off during that
time. They had been driving the Ger
mans and had once or twice defeated
the famous Prussian guard. He also
spoke of the splendid care which he
had received since he was wounded
of the remarkable efficiency of the
American system for taking care of
the men who are disabled, and of the
untiring work the Red Cross is doing
at the firing line and wherever the sol.
diers are
Lieut.. Huntress writes about driving
the Germans slowly back, sleeping in
German dugouts and getting no chance
for bath or any such luxury for a
long time. The machine gun companies
are sent ahead to establish new posi-
lions and hold the line until other
troops can be brought up, and the 18th
division has been selected for some of
the hardest work of this kind by Gen
