MANY DEER ON
FOREST RESERVE
Forest Ranger Sees More
Deer During Past Sum
mer Than For the Past
Number of Years

Forest Ranger Garner was down
from Pine the forepart of the past
week and told representative of the
Republican that he has seen more
deer in that section during the past
year than for number of years past.
The large number of the animals
is attributed to the light winter of
last year. Ordinarily only about
sixty per cent of the increase sur
vive the harder winters and many OF
the older animals die. Last year the
storms were light and the feed was
fairly good and it is estimated that
at least seventy-fve per cent of the
increase lived. The older animals
did not die off as rapidly as is usually
the case during the winter. Every
doe raises two fauns during the sum-
mer season and most of these are
living.
Many hunters enjoyed the good
shooting on the Forest Reserve dur
ing the open season and few VIOLA
tions OF the game laws were reported
from this particular section.

VERDICT ACQUITTAL
INSANITY GROUND
After Deliberating About
Twelve Hours Jury Re
turns With Verdict on
Grounds of Insanity

After celebrating for approx
mately twelve hours, the jury in the
case of the State of Idaho versus
Verne L. Taylor on a charge of the
murder of Daniel Mclaughlin re
turned with a verdict of acquittal
on the grounds of insanity.
Judge Varian, who is presiding in
the District Court in this matter, has
ordered an insanity inquisition to
be held on January third.
The inquiry into the sanity of the
defendant will be held before a jury
and will be an inquisition into the
fact as to whether or not he is sane
at the present time. Attorney James,
who was one of the attorneys for
the defense in the recent trial, in
formed a representative of the Re
publican that there would be no re-
eistance to this charge and that the
actual commitment would require
only a few hours. Expert witnesses
in the trial which has just ended
have repeatedly testified that the dis
ease is incurable and gets more ag-
gravated as time progresses.

ASSESSMENT ROLL
IS Completed
Personal Roll Is Not So
Large AS Last Year But
Real Roll Will Make
Up Difference

County Assessor Thomas Trathen
informs the Republican that the as
sessment rolls of Elmore County are
now completed, and next Monday has
been set by the Board of County
Commissioners as the day when they
will act as Board of Equalization.
The personal roll is not so large
as it was last year, this is attributed
to the fact that considerable stock
was not in the county at the time of
making the assessment and then
many of the stock and sheepmen
have reduced their herds during the
past year. However, the real roll
has been increased over last year
and this will max up the deficiency
in the personal and will bring the
total valuation placed nthe proper
ty in this county as over ten million
dollars. The levy was made on a
valuation of ten million and will
prove sufficient for all expenses for
the coming year.

BUSY WEEK IN
DISTRICT COURT

Owing to the fact that both Daniel
Mclaughlin and Verne L. Taylor
were both well known locally, the
courtroom has, for the past week,
during the trial of Taylor for the
murder of the former been crowded
to capacity, scarcely standing room
being vailable for those coming late
and in some instances people have
arrived at the court house an hour
before the session was to open. The
case is attracting considerable at
tention all over Elmore and in sew
eral surrounding counties. During
the progress of the trial Mrs. Taylor,
accompanied by the defendants faith
er, w. e. Taylor and brother, Fred
Taylor, are interest spectators. Mrs.
Mclaughlin, wife of the deceased is
also present.
The State, represented by County
Prosecutor and Attorney Floyd C.
White, started with the presentation
of their testimony last Thursday
morning, when County Attorney
Beckwith presented a motion to the
effect that two competent men be
appointed by the court to inquire
into the sanity of the defendant, to
ascertain whether or not he was COM
petent at that time to present a ra-
tional defense. The judge took the
matter under adyisement for a short
time and then denied it. The court
stated that he would instruct the
jury that If they acquitted Taylor
that they would be asked to state
whether or not this was done on
the grounds of insanity and If such
was the case he would Immediately
be tried on that charge.
In his opening statement, Mr.. |
Beckwith stated that the State would |
prove a motive in the crime He said |
that Mrs L. A. Emerson, who was
arrested in Bruneau and brought to
this city had some notes taken away
from her, which were never re-
turned. Taylor was County Attor-
ney at that time. Mrs Emerson Sc
cured the service of Daniel McLaugh-
in, as counsel, at that time and
here was considerable contention
between the County Attorney and
drs. Emerson relative to this case.
It seemed that Taylor wished the
natter "hushed up" while McLaugh-
in demanded a trial and the de-
endant threatened him if he did

GOOD PROGRESS
At CITY WELL
Driller Expects to be Out of
Lava Flow Soon-May
Strike Artesian Flow
Any Time

Reports from the city well are tc
the effect that the drfller is now
down 825 feet and during the past
week passed through a layer of vol
canic mud and the water coming ur
with the drill was a bright crimson
and the ground around the well
looked as if a warfare had been
staged there.
1t is expected that the drill will
go through the lava flow during the
next few days. After the lava has
been penetrated a lake bed forma-
tion win have to be gone through
and it is anticipated that immediate
ly under this lake bed an artesian
flow of water will be encountered.
Much local interest is being taken
in the municipal well by residents of
this city as well as out siders as it
will prove whether or not artesian
water can be secured in this vicinity
and if it is proven that the flow can
be secured it win mean much for this
entire section in an agricultural
way and many farmers will no doubt
have wells drilled on their property.

contributions FOR
MEMORIAL FUND
More Than s50,000 Raised in
Three Counties-School
Children Aid In
The Drive

More than $4,000 has already
been subscribed in three counties on
The drive toward raising $3.50, 900
for the Idaho Memorial building on
the University campus, stated Paul
Davis, managing director yesterday.
Clearwater county is "oyer the top
at the close of the first week of the
drive and other counties showing
good results are Batah and Nez
Perce.
Latah county has raised more than
half of its $50, 200 quota and bhe city
of Moscow has practically pledged
its quota of $4,000. The American
Legion post of that city gave s112,
and the students and faculty of the
University have pledged $4,000.
The Freshmen, 700 strong, pledged
$1,000. However, much of the stu
dent pledges are accredited to the
quotas of the different counties over
the state where the homes of the
studnts are.
One of the recent contributions
which appeals to the hearts of the
managers is that of the
school children of Salmon City. The
interest in the memorial in this sec
tion very remote from Moscow was
so great that an illustrated lecture
on Idaho history was held with the
cooperation of John E. Rees, one
Of Idaho's pioneer historians and the
sum of $500 was raised and sent

TAYLOR'SSTORY
OF SHOOTING

In Justification for the killing OF
Daniel Mclaughlin last March, Verne
l.. Taylor on the witness stand re-
lated his viewpoint of the affair.
The defendant stated that for
months past he was to be the victim
of a plot to disbar him, expell him
from the Masonic Lodge, have him
arrested on charge of theft and
adultery and he was of the opinion
that some fifteen of the most prom
inent men of Mountain Home were
implicated in this plot. He related
in detail the grounds upon which he
based his conclusions, upon conver-
sations, which, according to his evil
dence he overheard He stated that
they even went so far as to enter his
home. He was under the impression
that Mclaughlin. just prior to the
shooting was in the Office of 0. e.
Norell for the purpose of getting out
a search warrant to look for a watch
which was to have been planted in
his law office.
He stated that he met Mclaughlin
on the street several times during the
day on which the shooting occurred
Just a few moments before the shoot
ing he walked up toward the scene
with w. d. Talley and went into the
Furniture Store and talked for
short time He then left to go into
the Office of Mr.. Norell to attend to
some business matters. He saw Nc
Laughlin and Anderson start out OF
Norells Office so he stood in front OF
the Furniture Store. He started to
speak to Anderson and Mclaughlin
and as he dib so the deceased made
some remark to Mr. Anderson. AT
that same time he saw Mclaughlin
step behind Anderson and reach into
his pocket. He was then hit over
the head. He said: "As near as /
can describe 1t felt grip or tear
ing sensation inside my skull, at the
base of the brain" He states that |
he could not recall nothing further
in regard to the affair and the next
instance that he did recall was when
he was talking to Attorney Stafford
at the jail and Stafford told him that
had died.
The defendant then went on in de-
tail relating the various other plots,
plans and conspiracies which were
intended to bring him into disrepute.

Our plfa Unhay

Let us be thankful-not only because
Since last our universal thanks were told
We have grown greater in the worlds applause,
And fortunes newer smiles surpass the Old
Let us be thankful-thankful for the prayers
Whose gracious answers were long, long delayed.
That they might fall upon unawares,
And bless us, in greater need, prayed.
Let us be thankful for the loyal hand
That love held out in welcome to own,
When love and only love could understand
The need of touches had never known.
Let us be thankful for the longing eyes
That gave their secret to us they wept,
Yet in return found with sweet surprise,
Loves touch upon their lids, and smiling, slept
And let us, too, be thankful that the tears
OF sorrow have not all been drained away
That through them still, for all the coming years.
We may look the dead face of today.
