INDIANS SENT
HOME
Judge Puts Two Fleetwood
Boys on Their Good
Behavior

Firmly convinced that they were
slated for at least a years imprison-
ment in the Idaho state penitentiary,
at Boise, after they confessed to
birglarizing Ted Millard's restaurant,
at Sites, James and Charles Ellen
wood, young Nezperce Indians, were
taken from the Idaho county jail at
Grangeville, last Friday morning, by
Sheriff w. H. Eller, who escorted
them to Lewiston, where they entered
pleas of guilty before Judge Wallace
n. Scales Of the district court.
Instead of sentencing them to the
penitentiary, Judge Scales, because Of
the youth of the Nezperces, on ac-
count of their previous record as law
abiding Indians, and also because they
burglarized the restaurant after they
had been given liquor by a white man,
withheld sentence on the Indians and
put them en- their good behavior.
The Indians were instructed to re-
port to the court at the fall term of
1923 and the spring term of 1924, in
Grangeville. Grateful to the court for
the leniency shown them, the young
braves returned to their home at Lap
wal, determined to keep at safe dis
lance from fire-water.

SHOOTS MAN.
IN LEG; JAIL.
FOR LAVERTY.
Pardee Man Bound Over to
District Court; Unable
to Furnish $1,000 Bond
Charge Assault with Dead
ly Weapon, After Shooting
of Carl o. Tweetem

Bound over to the district court on
a charge of assault with a deadly
weapon, Dan Laverty, mining man, of
Pardee, is behind the bars of the Idaho
county Jail in Grangeville,, unable to
raise $1,000 bond, pending his trial at
the April term of court.
Laverty was arrested Monday at
his home at the tramway, a mile and
half from Pardee, after he had shot
and seriously wounded Carl o. Twee-
tenn, a former hired mar on Laverty's
ranch. The arrest was made by Deputy
Sheriff B. f. Robertson, of Grange
vile.
Laverty was given preliminary
hearing before Justice of the Peace
Shaw, at Kooskia, Tuesday night,
when Prosecuting Atty. f .E. Fogg
appeared for the state, while Laverty
was represented by Atty. f. H. Reh-
berg, of Kamiah.
Tweetem, shot through the left
thigh was unable to leave his bed in
the Kooskia hotel, and his testimony
was taken at his bedside.
The defense, at the preliminary
commended that Laverty shot Tweetem
because of jealousy, and that Laverty
did not approve Tweetem's conduct to-
ward Laverty's wife. Mrs. Laverty
testified i'm behalf of her husband.
The shooting occurred Sunday morn
ing, when Tweetem went to the Law
erty home to procure clothing and
other articles that had been left there
when Tweetem left Laverty's employ.
The first shot missed, bot a second
penetrated the mans thigh. Before
the flesh, the bullet punctured
a purse in the mars pocket.

State Supreme Court Acts in
Damage Case Against
Judge

A writ Of prohibition has been grant
ed by the state supreme court at Boise
in the case Of Earl H. Poff, Mary Clay
Dahlquist and Benjamin F. Tweedy VS..
Wallace N. Scales, judge Of the tenth
judicial district, an action to restrain
the judge from proceeding to punish
the plaintiffs In the action for con-
tempt of court.
Justice Dunn wrote the opinion,
which is cOncurred in by Justices Nc
earthly and William A. Lee.
The opinion recites that "the ap-
plication for the writ sets forth YER
batim copy Of the amended COM
plant of Mary Clay Dahlquist against
the said judge and other defendants,
from which it appears that the plain
tiff in said action was seeking dam
ages in the sum Of 100000 against
the said judge and other defendants
because Of an alleged conspiracy
charged TO have been entered into by
the. defendants in said action to I'M
lawfully take from said plaintiff in
condemnation action a certain por-
ton Of her farm for right of way
for a state highway and to compel her
to accept as part of her damages
certain fencess in lieu Of money. The
said complaint further sets out the inn
prisonment for contempt Of plaintiff
by order of the said court.
Is Case Really Contempt?
"We are of the opinion, however,
that this case must be decided upon
other grounds than those involved in
ordinary contempt proceedings and
these are, first, the question OF the
right of the defendant take any
steps affecting the merits Of the dam
age action against himself; and Sec
ond, the question whether or not the
filing Of said damage actions consti-
tute a contempt on the part of either
of said plaintiffs or of their counsel,
BENJAMIN f. Tweedv."
The court further saws. without
doubt it Is unpleasant to q judge to
have an action brought against him.
It may be humiliating and even in
furious to him. So also it is to have
affidavits of bias and prejudice filed
against him In actions to which he
is not a party but such considera-
lions are held not to deprive a party
If his privilege to have the questions
that concern his rights fully present
cd to the court.
Public Faith Necessary
"Our holding in this case does not
In the least affect the well estab-
Iished and necessary power OF the
courts of tho state to deal adequately
with contempts as they may arise but
it should be borne in mind that the
successful conduct Of courts does not
depend alone upon their power to
punish contempts. Without faith
upon the part of litigants, lawyers and
he public generally that courts fear

Legislature Fails to Appro-
pirate Funds for the New
Meadows Grangeville Link

Not a single dollar was appropriated
by the seventeenth session of the Ida
no state Legislature for completion of
the North and South highway, between
Grangeville and New Meadows. Nor
/ was dollar appropriated for building
any other section of the state high
way, binding together the northern
and the southern parts Of the state.
This report was confirmed Monday
by State Senator Seth ID. Jones, who
was I'm Grangeville on his way to his
home at Whitebird, after attending
the legislative session ut Boise
Works Hard for Road
Although Senator Jones labored in
cessantly in behalf of the North and
South highway, tho movement for
economy in state appropriations was so
pronounced, that Idaho county's SEN
ator was unable to secure any appro-
priation for the completion of the
highway link between Grangeville and
New Meadows, work on which has
been under way Tor five years, and on
which, at the present time, 200 men
are employed in construction.
Senator Jones does, however, have
promise of Governor Moore and others
high i'm the state administration, he
said, that the highway work between
Grangeville and New Meadows would
be pushed to completion. without any
definite appropria ton from the state.
From Tax ON Gasoline
1t was decided at an informal meet
ing of state officials, Senator Jones re-
ported on his return to Grangeville,
that money would be taken from the
gasoline tax fund and from receipts
from automobile licenses, and would be
devoted toward completion of the
Grangeville-New Meadows link of
the highway, at the rate of $685. a
year for 1923 and 1924. This state
money, If used for construction Of the
road, will also be matched by the
federal government on a $3.50 basis.
If the state government expends
$250.000 from automobile license
money and gasoline tax funds on the
North and South highway in the en-
suing two years, and this expenditure
is met by a similar amount from the
federal government, the 100000 avail
able will complete the highway from
Grangeville to New Meadows, 1t is
pointed out.
The law levying a tax of 2 cents a
gallon on all gasoline shipped into the
state of Idaho was primarily enacted
to provide funds for highway main
tenance.
