| Spokane, March 10.-Twelve indiet
ments against former officials of the
First National bank of Charleston, Wn.
which closed in 1921, carrying with it
three affiliated banks, were dismissed
today in federal court here when
Judge J. Stanley Webster sustained
demurrers Offered by attorneys for the
bankers.
Charges of conspiracy are still pend
ing, decision as to them having been
taken under advisement. The bankers
named in the indictments are C. F.
Waterman, G. 81 Waterman, w. A.
Waterman and A. E. Bauch, all of
Charleston.
The affiliated banks which closed
following the Charleston bank were
the State Bank of Kamiah, Kamiah,
Idaho, the State bank Of Orofino, Oro-
fino, Idaho, and the State Bank of
Peck, Peck, idaho.
The district attorney 8 office an
nounced, in connection with today's
developments, that the statute Of limi-
tations would prevent further action
against the bankers.
Failure to show, in the indictments,
that the bank was member of the
federal reserve system, was the basis
for dismissal.
The action above ehronicled has no
pearing on the state case against Geo.
H. Waterman as president of the State
Bank of Kamiah, which case is pend
ing for consideration in the coming
April term of the district court in

SURPRISE DINNER PARTY.

Last Sunday some sixty relative.
and friends of z. A. johnson and fam
lily followed them home from the morn
ing service at the Brethren church an6
informed them that their guests haG
come to spend the day. The baskets
and other indications of provendex
tended to substantiate this statement
An old time prairie spread was en-
joyed, and thereafter the adult mem
bers of the assembly visited and had
season of music, while the younger
members took to the out of doors and
spent the afternoon in games and
romping on the lawn.
Mr.. johnson is leaving today for
Spokane to look after business mat
ters, and will be joined later by his
wife and younger children and they
will all go on to Minnesota, where he
has farming interests to which he will
give his attention for several months
2. A. johnson may be fairly classed
at the head of the pioneer developers
of this prairie country. He gave Nez-
perce and neighboring towns electric
lighting systems, put in the local wa
ter system, and built the Nezperce &
Idaho railroad, and would have com
pleted the line into Lewiston had the
war and other impossible conditions
not interfered. 1t is the hope of his
friends all over the Lewiston district
that his stay in the east may be agree
able and profitable, and that he will
soon return to take up his work among
us.

MEETINGS GAIN POPULARITY.
Hutton Evangelists Giving Much to
Community in Song and Sermon
At Christian Church.

| Rev. Glen w. Hutton, of Spokane,
is holding & series of services at the
Christian church. Mr.. Hutton is not
a stranger in Nezperee, as he was here
and gave the Commencement address
fer the graduating class of 1922 Mrs.
Hutton, who was here and sang for
the class, has charge of the music dur
ing the special services that win con-
tinue until Friday night, March 2lst.
The sermon Tuesday evening on
ssWhy Be Christian - gave five con-
vincing reasons why a man should be
a Christian. First, that the world to-
day should have the Christian prin-
ciples to bring about the proper feel
ing of brotherhood and prevent war.
Mr.. Hutton said, you can destroy all
of the world s armament and imple-
ments of war but leave the heart of
man unchanged and he will fight with
clubs and stones.' The second rea-
son was, America, to continue, must
have the Christ, for "a nation or an
portion as they obey or disobey God. -
The third reason, the Home, which is
the unit of our society, cannot hold
its place without God. The first in
dication of a Nation 3 downfall is the
decay of it home life. The fourth
reason was, Our very self cries out for
God. The sixth sense, or the sense of
worship, longs for God, and the man
who turns away from him is sitting
the cry of the hungry soul. And last,
that God because of His love gave His
Son to save us and give us eternal
life.
The sermon Wednesday evening,
"The Christ in Whom Christians Be-
lieve," showed Christ to be Char
aeter whose coming was foretold more
than 1000 years before the event took
place; that the pagan and Jewish his
torians left records of his life and in
fluence. The New Testaments and
the Christian system are built around
this Christ of the Christians.

reetion, and in it Mr.. Hutton will put

Sunday morning, eff the Bible Was
lone, What Thens" In this sermon
Mr.. Hutton will discuss the place of
Christianity in civilizing the world
md what would be the result if the
Bible was taken away.
Sunday evening, "The Strategy of

nd see the devil fool Pharoah Then
vatch him in modern life. The ques-
ion of whether there is a devil will

Mato Tipi at times sent Little Big
Man and his braves to lead us to
Tashunca-uitco, and it is well. I
brought this white man with me, as
his life was not safe among white men.
He was caught while trying to take a
load Of ammunition to the Cheyennes.
He escaped from the soldiers and fied
with me to find the Ogalala. He
brought some of the white mans
money with him as present to fash
unca-uitco."
"Tashunca-uitco needs no presents
of money from the white men," harsh
ly informed Crazy Horse. What he
needs he takes"
And he shook his coup wand till the
little bell tinkled madly. Loud grunts
of approval met his declaration. Loud
cries of "washte-heloi" were raised
when he pointed to the greenbacks
and directed:
"Give it to the men who have lost
horses and lodges"
If there was one disgruntled war
rior 1t was Little Big Man. Sticking
up from between his crossed legs were
the butts of Dinsdale's guns. Crazy
Horse, who ever had great love for
excellent firearms and who packed
three Winchester rifles with him and
one or more hand guns, touched the
big revolvers and said, Il will take
only these"
Little Big Man passed them over and
for several minutes the war chief ex-
amined them knowingly and his fea-
lures grew animated as he realized
their excellence. Suddenly he ceased
his inspection and asked of Scissors
This Is the white man who was
caught by soldiers while bringing am
munition to the young braves at Spot
ted Tail agency"
His expression was almost genial
as he put the query, but Scissors shook
his head and repeated:
my white brother was carrying am
munition to the Chevennes on the Rose
bud"
A scowl of disappointment darkened
the chiefs visage. Had Scissors re-
piled In the affirmative several men
from the agency were ready to brand

dale appears reluctant. Dinsdale
kills Allen. He then takes to the
hills with Pyrites. While pros

a large log cabin. In a cellar
Dinsdale finds the proceeds of
febberies. A man enters the cabin.

place a stranger, with bandaged
head. tells Dinsdale his name Is
Easy" Telling Pyrites he be-
lieves Easy" is the man he

band of Ogalala, among whom
Scissors had once been a captive.
Scissors claims friendship with
