TRAVELLER CASE ENDS IN VERDICT
 0F NOT GUILTY

Eugene Traveller, of Fairbanks, who was arrested in Nenana during the winter on charge of robbery, bound over to the grand jury and held by that body for trial, was acquitted by a trial jury at Fair banks last night, at the conclusion of a three-day trial. The jury was out just 19 minutes
 Practically all the witnesses in the case, who went to Fairbanks from Nenana, will return home on tomor- rows train.
 The grand jury had no report to make to Judge Bunnell this morn ing, but they are very busy inves- tigating some case and may have :, report ready when court convenes tomorrow. Witnesses who have ap- peared before the investigators dur ing the past couple of days indi- cate to observers that the probe now in progress has something % do with cold storage, but, of course. nothing is known definitely outside of the jury chamber. An interesting case was in prog ress this afternoon. An Italian was indicted several days ago in con nection with stabbing afray on Engineer creek. L. K Pratt, who was appointed by the court to de fend the defendant, demurred to the indictment on the ground that it was improperly drawn, and the court sustained the demurrer. The grand jury then indicted the defend ant second time, and Pratt now contends that person may not be placed in jeopardy twice for the same offense
 The point at issue is being decided by special jury this afternoon, the question being whether or not the defendant may be held on the sec ond indictment If the indictment stands, another jury will be select ed to determine whether or not the defendant is guilty.

RESOLUTION

Whereas, the state, county, school
district and city taxes Of Bingham
county are now as much as can be
borne and whereas the ability of the
people to pay these taxes on account
of the tendency Of lower prices, has
come to hurt, and whereas high
taxes make high rent and also stop
the development of the county in
building Of residence and business
buildings and all farm improvements;
therefore, we, four hundred represen-
tative tax payers of Bingham County
in mass meeting assembled, hereby
express our opinion that all public
officials from the Governor Of the
state and the state legislature down
to the small village board, including
all school boards be, as careful to
avoid waste and inefficiency and to
avoid all except necessary expendi-
ture in work, material and salaries.

DEMINC. y. NJ, Sept. 23.-None the
worse for his experience OF yesterday.
when his special train was wrecked a
mile north Of Peoria. Ariz., throwing him
a distance Of twelve feet. Gov. James
NJ Cox was today speeding toward Al
buquerque on a special schedule. fol-
lowing detour over the Southern Pa
cihe, which neoessitated the elimination
OF several Arizona addresses.
Division Engineer Walker. who was
riding on the first of the two locomotives
hauling the Cox special, said In his opin-
ion the detrailment was caused either
by spreading rails or by some defective
mechanism on the first engine.
Governor Coy was seated at the dining
table in the private car Federal when the
crash came.
He was thrown a third Of the length
Of the car and slid along the 6oor for
some distance, but was uniniured.
Immediately upon regaining his feet he
ran to the front Of the train in an effort
to aid those caught in the car ahead.
A movie photographer with the party
lived up to the ethics Of his profession
by rushing to the scene with his camera
and cranking fTantically while passengers
climbed out of the broken windows and
trainmen were rescuing their injured

fantry, fought alongside the color ser
geant of the 22nd Indiana, their regi-

Wounded, the Indiana color sergeant
fell, calling upon Clipson to uphold the

Il caught the fagstan from his hand
and held 1t up until his wounds were
dressed, when he again took it, said
Clipson today.
The Confederates shot away the up
per part or the flag, but we kept it flying.
and little later, when the color sergeant
was killed, his younger brother, 1s
years old, took his place with the Tag.
Having read the battle flags Of the
Indiana regiments were on exhibition at
the statehouse, I went there last night
and asked TO see the flag Of the 22nd
Indiana.
When it was pointed out to me, I
said that Was not the flag was looking
for.
Oh yes it is said the man in charge
Il told him It couldn't be, because the
nag he showed me was whole. and re-
rnembered that part OF the real flag had
been shot away.
Then he showed me that a new piece
had been sewn on the flag.
1T was the same flag, and I also saw
where the stan had been nicked by a
bullet wRch had torn of the thumb of
the sergeant.
Il am sorry I cannot remember the
name OF that color sergeant, but tht
sight Of the old flag has brought back
a iood OF memories OF the days Of 64. "
