MOVE ON 18th
WITH TWO CATS

This double jinx failed to terrify
A. l.. Roller when he dispatched his
boys to the ranch near Picabo this
month with their stock. When every
thing had been loaded up, the boys
decided that they wanted the two
fine young cats to become members
of the party, and they finally had
their way, although everyone knows
that something terrible is due to
lappen if cat is moved to new
home. Coupled with the fact that
the trip was scheduled to- start on
the 18th, this circumstance was any
thing but favorable.
However, Mr.. Roller informs us
that the lads got through in fine
shape, having no accidents, and not
even losing a horseshoe, and the out
fit is now at the summer home near
Picabo.

$3.50 From Faraday G. Weaver,
and Case Is Dismissed

The case of the Mountain Home
Highway District VS.. Faraday &
Weaver was compromised Wednesday
evening after the plaintiffs testi-
mony had been partially presented.
1t is reported that the sum to be
paid to the highway district by Fara-
day & Weaver is $3.50.
The sum sued for after amendment
was $1,000.
The case had started out with ev
cry indication of being long drawn
out. The forenoon was taken up with
securing of the jury, eight being Sc
cured before noon. The other four
were quickly secured and the plain
tiff's counsel at once introduced wit
nesses. A. F. Anderson, former treas
urer of the district, was on the
stand when Jess Hawley, counsel for
Faraday & Weaver, entered an OBJ
lection. Judge Givens dismissed the
jury while the counsel argued the
point. After the arguments had
lasted an hour the judge instructed
the bailiff to inform the jury that
they were excused until 1880 p. m.
During the decess, the compromise
as above set forth was agreed to and
the highway district dismissed the
Ease.

LEATHER SHOP IN
NEW LOCATION

The Leather Shop is now in its
new location in the Wilbur building,
formerly occupied by the Mountain
Home Mercantile Co. We notice
that Roy White, the hustling pro-
prietor, has his stock fixed up in a
manner which appeals to the eye.
In an interview with The Republic
can man this week, Roy said Eyes,
the old location was too small for
the growing business, SO 1 decided
that a move was absolutely neces-
sary. We have a reputation to main
tain of turning out the best work in
the Northwest, and by jacks, she's
going to be kept up. If there is any
thing in the harness and leather line
which is needed, and we find 1t out,
we'll have it or bust hame.
'The motto of this establishment
will be Work, not shirk.
AS we drifted away, it occurred
to us that in these three words Roy
ad uttered sermon.

DANIEL MoLAUGHLIN dies
At THE HANDS Of Y. |. TAYLOR

patient had been removed. She bore
up brayely under the terrible blow.
1t was at once apparent that Mr..
Mclaughlin was mortally wounded,
and his pulse was already so weak
that it would have been folly to have
administered an anaesthetic for the
purpose of operating. He grew
steadily weaker, although fully con-
scious until almost the end. He sew
eral times spoke of Taylor, saying
that he must have been crazy" as
he had never harmed him.
Taylor had nothing to say after
the affair, except when Mr. Talley
led him into DR.. Evans office. His
remark was: my God, Talley, what
have done?" On his way to the jail
he asked Henry Little what he was
taking him there, for, but the latter
warned him not to talk. AS soon as
Taylor arrived at the Jail, he re-
quested that Captain Stafford of
Gooding be sent for. This was done,
and the attorney arrived on No. II,
going at once to the Taylor residence,
where he at once consulted with Mrs.
Taylor. The latter, although heart
broken over the terrible affair, was
brave and fairly we'll composed.
Mr. Mclaughlin passed away at
1870 a. M, having lived but nine
hours after the shooting. He signed
his will, which had been prepared,
although he seemed confident that
he would pull through. He lapsed
into complete Inconsistencies Just
before his death.
Many people have remarked upon
The fact that Verne Taylor has been
acting strangely for the past several
although no one thought
his brooding and peculiar behavior
would take a serious turn.
Verne Taylor had been praeticing
aw in Mountain Home for several
7ears, coming here from Gooding,
where he was in the law office of
captain Stafford. He was elected
attorney of Elmore coun-
y in November, 1920, and served in
hat capacity during the years 1921
922. He was defeated for re-elec-
ion by r. w. Beckwith, the present
His moral habits have
lways been considered good, and his
ash act came as complete surprise
0 many people.
The date for Taylor's preliminary
has not been set as yet. ,

FIRE DEPARTMENT
SHOWS ITS WORTH
Glenns Ferry Village Council De-
serves Credit-The Weeks
Resume Of Local News
Glenns Ferry.

! oANhIA INhigs
J. I. Breekon and Grover c. Evans,
representatives of the FIRE underwrit-
ers, were in town Wednesday looking
over the village with a view to ad-
justing Insurance rates. The last
occasion on which such an investiga-
tion was made was in 1916, when the
methods Of fire protection were very
limited. The records OF the under
writers show that one hose reel and
500 feet of hose was the sum total
Of appliances in use by the fire de-
partment, which was unorganized in
any way whatever. In 1919, when
the bakery and McLaughlin's pool
hall were destroyed by FIRE on the
5th of July, the report on fire pro-
lection showed that there had been
no change in fire lighting appliances,
though we are confident that at that
time there was an additional hose
reel and chemical engine in service.
More than a year ago the village
board undertook to reetify this mat
ter and give the citizens of this town
better protection, and purchased a
Ford chassis, upon which the chem
ical tanks were placed, and 500 feet
Of hose added This chassis has now
been fully equipped with extra hose
Tor the chemical and a further 500
feet of the very best hose on the
market, making in all about 1000
feet Of hose now available. A "a
foot extension ladder has also been
added to the engine, while an eff
eient volunteer fire brigade has been
organized, with Ed Stone as chief.
The latest improvement is the addi-
tion of a Denver siren, which is now
installed and seems to be satisfac-
tory. The report of the fire chief
for the year 1923 shows a total loss
by fire of about $51e. Though we
seldom give any credit to the men
who give their services to- the vii
lage as trustees, there are many
things which they do which seldom,
If ever are brought to light. We

week and this week we call our read
ers attention to this--another de-
partment that the board has been
gradually bringing up to high
standard of efficiency. There are
Few towns of our size in Idaho that

md still less that have the efficient
volunteer fire department that we
boast Of today We feel sure that
ONE sort of adjustment OF insurance
'ates will follow the inspection now
leing made, and If this is so, then
We owe 1t to the untiring efforts and

JURY ACQUITS
HAROLD CHELINE

After being out but a few minutes,
the jury which had heard the case
of the State VS. Harold o. Cheline,
charged with embezzlement, returned
verdict OF not guilty.
The complaining witness in the
case was ]. d. Armstrong, who
charged that Cheline had included
49, head of his cattle, bearing the
Circle Dot Quarter Circle brand, in
a shipment of his own, and had con-
yerted the proceeds to his own use.
The contention of the defense was
that Cheline had made the shipment
upon the authority of Frank Arm
strong, brother of the complaining
witness, who had represented that
the cattle belonged to him. ChelineI
maintained that he and Frank Arm
strong had bought cattle together,
and were to share in the profits orI
loss, as the case might be. Cancelled
checks signed by Cheline were intro
duced by the defense to show that
proceeds of the sale of the cattle had
been used to pay accounts owing for
the purchase of cattle.
Evidently the jury took this view
Of the case, for it returned yer-
dict as above recorded. The case took
up the whole of Mondays session Of
the district court.
r. w. Beckwith prosecuted the
case, while Judge Watts appeared for
the defense.

RESULT OF THE
GORONER'S INQUEST

The coroner's jury which was
called by Coroner Elmore ottenheim-
er to inquire into the leath of Dan
iel Mclaughlin convened at the
zacher funeral parlors Tuesday af-
ternoon at 1870.
The finding of the jury was that
the deceased Daniel Mclaughlin,
came to his death from gunshot
wounds Intentionally inflicted by a
gun in the hands of Verne Taylor.
o. E. Norell was the first witness
examined. He recited how Mr.. Nc
Laughlin came into his office on busi-
ness, and how he and Mr.. Anderson
left together. He had just sat down
and started letter when the shots
were heard. He at once rushed to
the door and went out on the side
walk in time to see Taylor advance
and begin beating Mclaughlin over
the head with his gun. He grasped
Taylor's arm, but the latter broke
away and again struck Mclaughlin.
Mr.. Norell recited that he finally
wrenched the gun from Taylor's
hand, and that Henry Little subse-
quently took charge of it. He told
how Mclaughlin screamed: Boys,
for Gods sake, help me" while he
was being beaten over the head.
]. M. Anderson of the South Boise
river was the next witness. He told
how he had gone to the Norell Office
and how he and Mr.. Mclaughlin had
left. On reaching the
sidewalk he noticed Taylor standing
in front of the Talley store with his
back to the building, and his hands
in his overcoat pockets. As the men
Taylor walked toward
hem, and as he approached made
as though to speak to Nc
but evidently changed his
mind and walked on perhaps ten feet.
Mr.. Anderson said that the first ink
ing of trouble was when he heard
Taylor shout, 'You s. Of a b."
Both men turned at the sound and
le (Anderson) saw at once that Tay-
or had gun in his hand. Almost
the latter fred. and Dan
eemed to finch and stagger. The
