Grover Given New
Trial by State
Supreme Court

William D. Grover, Blackfoot
farmer convicted of involuntary
manslaughter in connection with the
death of Joseph Koury, was granted
a new trial Friday, June 30, by the
supreme court. The tribunal held
that the trial court erred in not
granting him a new trial.
Grover killed Koury July Z, 1919,
following an alteration over irriga-
ton water. According to Growers
testimony, Koury attempted to
change a headgate, and Grover re-
strained him, whereup Koury struck
twice at him with shovel, missing
him both times. He was about to
Strike a third time when Grover
struck at him with his shovel, the
blow striking Koury on the right
temple, causing almost instant
death.
During the trial expert testimony
for the state was introduced in an
attempt to show that two blows were
struck and that depression was
found in the skull Of the dead man
Just above the left eye. An expert
witness for Grover. however. testi-
fed that there was no depression
above the left eye. Investigation
proved that the depression was there
but that as the skin was in perfect
condition it could be either natural
or unnatural.

AUTO ACCIDENT

On Sunday night as R. H. Mackte
was driving north above the sugar
factory he met a big car with very
bright lights and they did not apply
the DINNERS. Mackie's car was q
Ford, and unknown to him he was
being folio we'd by Mr.. German OF
Idaho Falls in large, heavy car
Mackie kept well to his side of the
road to keep in the clear Of the car
he was meeting, and Mr.. German
lost sight Of him in the glare and
bumped his car, throwing Mac kie
out over the back Of the seat ana
running over him.
Mackie was unconscious for q few
moments and revived as Mr.. Cor
man was putting him into his own
car. He was bruised about the face
and one leg had been run over and
bruised but not seriously. Mr.. Cor
man wanted to take Mackie to q
hospital, but Mackie was SO sure
that he was only bruised, he said 1t
was not necessary and went on
home when he got to feeling better.
Mr.. German kept track Of him by
phone during the week and drove
down to see him on Thursday to
visit with him and to see If there
was anything he should do.

IRRIGATION AS
S0CIATlON MEETS
Judged Unsafe to Join
Two Irrigation
Districts ~

Arthur Manwaring, who is one of
the directors in the Farmers Protec-
tive Irrigation association has re-
ceived the following letter indicat-
ing the decision of that body relative
to the American Falls reservoir:
The Secretary's Letter
At a special meeting OF the d.
rectors of the Farmers Protective IT.
rigation association, held on June II
the following recommendations were
made to canal companies desiring
storage in the American Falls reser-
voir.
After making thoro investiga-
tion and getting the advice from
several attorneys, we have decided
that it is not safe proposition to
join the proposed large irrigation
district, including the Twin Falls
country and all the canal companies
in the upper Snake river valley de-
string stored water.
We advise canal companies desir-
ing stored water to secure 1t now in
the American Falls reservoir, and
OACuduS0 IL lOT OIOEcu WdtOA LA
Jackson Lake, as that seems to be
the only way at the present time to
secure storage and those securing
water in the Jackosn Lake reservoir
will have the best water right on the
river.
We think canal companies not
now in an irrigation district, desir-
ing water in the American Falls
reservoir, can secure the money to
finance them in several ways with
out joining the large irrigation dis
trict.
First by direct taxation, second by
mortgaging their canal system, third
by forming an irrigation district out
of their canal and fourth by forming
q large irrigation district from
Blackfoot up the valley.
Please write to the secretary and
state the plans you propose to use,
so that the association can help you
IL necessary in your work.

Secretary Farmers Protective Irriga-
tion Association.

From Salt Lake to
Yellowstone in 9
Hours 80 Minutes

D. A. Jenkins, driving Nash car,
and three other people left Salt Lake
City Monday morning at 3.35 O'Clock
for Yellowstone National Park and
arrived there at 1.30 p. M, making
the total time, not allowing for
stops, 9 hours and SIS minutes. The
total driving time was 9 hours and
80 minutes, which means'an average
rate of travel of over forty-four
miles an hour.
The distance from Pocatello to
Idaho Falls was made in 81 minutes
driving time, or over fifty-five miles
per hour average. Eighty-tive miles
per hour was reached on the Fort
Hall pavement.
The run was made to demonstrate
the fact that the Yellowstone high
way Is the shortest and best route
from Salt Lake City to the park. A
reporter from the Salt Lake Tribune
accompanied Jenkins and they left
Tuesday to return to Salt Lake.
During the trip two herds OF
sheep and several head of cattle
were encountered and after leaving
Blackfoot many tourists had to be
passed making progress slower. The
trip was made. without any accidents
and is the fastest one yea made In
this country.
