Complete Two Highways
Through Stevens County

At the meeting of the Eastern
Washington Highway Association in
Spokane last Saturday, Stevens coun-
ty was represented by 81 delegates,
the largest attendance from any
county. Louis G. Keller of Colville
was named first vice president, he
having been one of the first men from
the county to take active interest in
the state good roads program, and
having attended all sessions of state
and eastern Washington associations.
The road program for the next two
years in eastern Washington was
agreed upon. The Inland Empire
highway is to be completed between
Colville and Meyers Falls, with an
appropriation of 100000. State road
No. % is to receive 100000, part
of which may be spent from Lincoln
to Hunters and part from Kettle
Falls south. The Pend Oreille high
way from Newport north is to re-
ceive 100000.

of highway construction and main
tenance, as well as the present sys-
tenn of taxation for highway pur-
poses was indorsed by the confer
ence. The association passed a res
olution to emphasize that, despite
disturbed financial and economic con-
ditions, ait would be false economy

A Busy Session =. ::
of Superior Court
Jury Cases and Many Wit
nesses Handle Criminal
and Civil Trials
John Rapp Is Freed
of Charge of Murder

In the case of the state against John
Rapp, charged with shooting and
killing Rudolf Schmidt Sep. 2 near
Echo, the jury brought in verdict
of not guilty last Saturday. 1t is
stated that the first ballot stood II
to 1 for acquittal.
The trial of the case occupied sew
eral days. The prosecution endeavor-
ed to show that Rapp first shot
Schmidt from ambush at distance
of 40 to so feet, then moving about
10 feet away fired three more shots,
and following him up the hill shot
again.
Schmidt's body showed three bull
let wounds, which had entered from
the back according to testimony by
Drs. w. A. Olds and R. F. Goetter.
The defense endeavored to show
that Rapp had filed an insanity
charge against Schmidt; that Schmidt
was under $100 peace bond at the
time of the shooting; that Rapp
bought a gun for self protection be-
cause Schmidt had threatened to kill
him; that on Sep. Schmidt fired
twice with a revolver at Rapp, who
in turn responded with several shots
from his rifle.
Attys. w. Lon. Johnson and
Thomas 1 Oakshott, for the defense,
presented the plea of self defense in
the shooting, and this was apparently
the opinion of the jury.
