which Sheriff c. J. Turner, of Hum
phreys county, was tried for alleged
contempt of court because he failed
to produce a prisoner for a habeas cor
pus hearing after the negro had been
lynched, has come to light here.
Judge W. H, Potter dismissed the
contempt proceedings against Sheriff
Turner, and the sheriff at once insti-
tuted suit against Judge ]. A, Teat,
Of this city, attorney for the prisoner
in question, to recover the $500 reward
offered for the capture of the negro.
Eugene Green by name, who shot the
town marshal OF Belzoni, county seat
Of Humphreys
The sheriff alleges that Judge Teat
had no legal or moral right to collect
the reward for the capture of the ne
gro, who was arrested in the country
near Jackson, and that the money
should be returned To the citizens of
Humphreys county who contributed to
the sum.
Sheriff Turner also charges in his

half of the National Association for

EVERYBODY BROKE.

A Bolshevist was recently prevail
ed upon to elucidate the doctrines of
bolshevism. He replied with the us
ual generalities about the abolition of
wealth, ETC., and being asked to give
details of the program he explained
that money must be abolished.
There would be a substitute, of
course. We were not to return to the
system of exchange and barter. There
would be a certain kind of currency,
q but it could not be accumulated. A
man who did any work would get a
ticket at the end of each working day,
representing his remuneration. 1t
would have a date stamped upon it,
and its validity would end in 4S
hours.
He could either spend it in that
time or lose it, and in this way the
saving of money would be impossible
There would, therefore, be no capital
Every sturdy community is largely
a community of home-owners-no
rent payers. But try to imagine a
man buying house with bunch of
stamped and dated tickets which will
all expire in As hours. Multiply this
condition by the number of the popu-
lation and you can visualize one of
the funny features which we shall see
when bolshevism achieves order out
of chaos-when, in word, it becomes
systemized
1t is equally easy to imagine any
kind of -systematization under bolshe-
visit government.

When honest people find there is
anything crooked in transaction,
fhey do not fancy having been hood
winked into taking part in that tran
saction, even though they have profit
ed in way by it. The outcoming
facts are disclosing that there was
considerable crookedness in the loca-
ton of the north and south state
highway through Idaho and Lewis
counties, and folks are getting more
and more skeptical about the deal.
In fact, the foxy" engineering done

In 1911 this community entered the
transition from the "shackD STAGE of
the new western town to the perman-
ent condition. Since then it has gone
ahead less impetuously than it did
during the "shack' era, but what
has been builded here is substantial
brick store buildings, modern
homes, churches, concrete pavements,
maeadamized streets, commodious and
modern school building, complete
sewer system, hotels, theater-all
since the completion of our local rail
road and the creation of Lewis coun-
ty. Today many of the obsolete
shacks are being removed, to make
room for modern structures, which
will come in time There is a solidity
about Nezperce which is as safe to
bank on as the surrounding rich farm
ing country which is the reason of the
towns existence. This substantial
feeling permeates the atmosphere
here and is felt by an outsider upon
entering the town. This is no longer
a get-rich-quick community, but it is
one of the safest and best business
points in Idaho, as well as affording
home conditions.
