Prosecution Withdraws Action
When Leading Witness
Changes Mind.-Jury
Acquits Bense.--
Court Takes
Recess.

The case of the state against
Julian Bloodsworth was called
for trial in the district court in
this city last Saturday. The prin-
cipals, counsel and numerous
witnesses were on hand ready
for the action. But the whola
proceeding, to which much pub
lie interest had attached owing
to the prominence and standing
of the defendant and Henry Sui
livan, who had filed the COM
plant, was brought to an abrupt
close by the withdrawing of the
charge by Prosecuting Attorney
Pennell, who stated that this
action was taken because of
variance of the proof and the
information on which the case
was based. 1t seems that the
witness on whom the state most
depended, Ed. Wasco, had
changed his mind as to the own
ership of the COW in question.
leaving no ground for contin-
uation Of the action.
The trial of G. w. Bense.
charged under a complaint filed
by DIR. L. l.. Crocker of this city
with obtaining money under
false pretenses, was conducted
throughout last Friday and went
to the jury late in the afternoon.
After deliberation Of several
hours, verdict of not guilty
was returned and Bense was re-
leased from custody.
Court took a recess from Sat
urday until yesterday, and will
continue in session Through to-
morrow on cases dealing with
the defunct Union State Bank.

Dave is the Progressive candl
date for representative from
this county, you all know It is
hard to get him to talk politics
We tried, thinking that since
we are both from Missouri may
be he'd be sociable like us. By
exerting our persuasive powers
we got this much anyhow: You
know us Progressives-we are
like the locusts. We come
around every fourteen years as
. pest. But the Republicans
they are like the honey bee:
They sip up all the honey, and
all we get is the sting" Yes

Grouse Season Opens.

The game law says shooting
of native pheasant or grouse
shall be permissible in Bound
ary, Lewis and Idaho counties
from September Is to October
Is, inclusive so local sportsmen
are all cooked and prlmed for
the first try at the birds to-
morrow. The open season on
blue or dusky grouse began in
Idaho county on August Is, and
hunters from all sections have
been flocking in there ever since
and should by this time be
pretty we'll fed up on these
toothsome birds, but the chances
are our newly opened territory
will be as diligently looked af-
ter as was that of our neighbor
county. Furthermore the Idaho
county boys now have a chance
to get back what we borrowed
from them and they will find
our latch string hanging outside.
The deer and elk season opens
in Idaho and Clearwater coun-
ties on October first and closes
with November 18th.

Gen. Scott Visits Karniah.

Maj. Gen. Hugh l.. Scott, re
tired chief of staff of the U. S
Army, is spending several days
this week ON the Nez Perce Res.
ervation, being guest of Supt
y. II. Lipps at Lapwai. Gen
Scott is one of the board of In
dian commissioners of the gov
ernment and is on tour Of the
several reservations of the
northwest.
He is desirous of meeting ali
the Indians who live on this
part of the reservation, and es.
pecially the older ones who were
here at the time of the war in
1877 There will likely be one
of the largest gatherings of In
dians ever seen in Kamiah on
this occasion. Many whites will
avail themselves of the privilege
Of greeting such a distinguished
guest.
Gen. Scott was chief of staff
of the army when the world war
broke out, but reached the age
Of retirement before the United
States entered the conflict, be-
ing succeeded by Gen. Pershing.
He is now a member of the
board of Indian commissioners.
He is probably the most distin-
guished person who has ever Wis
tied the reservation.
He saw much service in the
Indian wars of the early days
and although a great commander
and fighter, he is best known
for his ability as peace-maker.

noon at the Community Hall
with Mesdames. Buchanan,

gram was concluded with the
election of the following Off
cerss President, Mrs. Yates;
Mrs. G. w. Booth, first and Mrs.
E. B. Brown second vice-presi-
dent; Mrs. Mac Scofield, secre-
tary.
M. Schmidlkofer left at this
office Tuesday half dozen
sample ears Of corn from his 16-
acre field. This sample is an
average run Of the field and it
would compare favorably with
the product of the Mississippi
valley. The ears run from eight
to nine and a half inches in
length, are of good size and
quality, both white and yellow
dent, and are well matured. The
yield is good, and while this is
not exactly an experiment by
Mr.. Schmidlkofer-he has been
producing corn as '-'mmer fall
low crop for some years-4it is
an effective illustration of what
can be done with the cereal
here. He plans to make silage
of the bulk Of the crop, gather
some of it for straight corn feed
and dispose Of some for seed, as
the variety is the best for grow
ing in this climate and altitude.
