slowly. The soft dirt, when first

of holes and rutsi and have not been

the condition of the road at this time

CAR OVERTURNS
NEAR SUNNYSIDE
Family Of Eight In Car That
Turns Turtle Nobody
Injured-Car Badly
Damaged

Rich Thompson, of this city, wit
messed a very peculiar accident on
the highway last Wednesday after
noon when he saw Dodge car turn
almost completely over near Sunny
side. The car contained a family
of eight children the father and
mother and a dog and aside from a
slight injury to one of the children
none of the party were the worse off
for their experience. The car how
ever, was damaged to a considerable
extent, one rear wheel being almost
completely demolished and the gas
tank was punctured. After the car
had been righted part of the party
went on to Boise and the father came
back to Mountain Home with Mr..
Thompson and a truck was sent for
the disabled car.
1t seems that the driver was ,hav-
ing some carbureator trouble and
was adjusting it and the car gave a
sudden jump and left the road, there
by causing it to upset.
The party was enroute from Ru-
pert to Portland Oregon, and expect
to continue on their journey as soon
as repairs can be made to the car.

COUNTY CASE TO
BE HEARD SOON
The Case of Elmore County
versus the Bonding Com
panies Will Come up at
Next Court Session

The case of Gilmore County YER
sus the bonding companies for the
shortage in the office Of the county
treasurer will come up for hearing
at the next session of the District
Court, so the Republican has been
informed upon good authority. The
county will be represented by Attor-
ney Ben Oppenheim. of Boise and
County Attorney Beckwith, while 1t
is understood that the companies
have secured legal talent from Boise
to present their side.
II is understood that the bonding
companies have been unable to agree
between themselves as to where the
exact shortage is. whether it was in
the funds of the treasurer or the tax
collector and It is this phase Of the
case that is bringing 1t into court.
The county is undoubtedly protec-
ted in the loss and will very likely
receive their remuneration as soon as
the case is settled.

during the recent cold weather the
cattle consumed practically twice the
amount of hay during that period as

BASKETBALL GAMES
FEATURE WEEK END
One of the Most Interesting
Games of The Season To
Be Staged Next Satur-
day Night

One of the most interesting basket
balla games of the present season
will be stawed at the High School
Auditorium next Saturday evening,
when the team of the Boise City Ma
tional Bank will meet the Mountain
Home town team. This game will
prove especially interesting owing to
the fact that the Boise team has held
the championship of that city for the
the past three seasons while the To-
cal boys have been putting forth
some hard work at practice and are
now in the prime of condition to
meet their opponents. The fact that
the game will be hotly contested
from start to finish is foregone con-
clusion. The lineup for the town
teamis as follows: Hanley, center;
Love, forward; Ottenheimer, forward
Sethen, guard; Tye, guard and
Yturri and Savage, substitutes. Sui
livan will referee the game.
On Friday night of this week, to-
night, the local high school will also
meet bunch of hard fighters in the
Meridian high school basketball
team. The local high school five have
through the series of games just pass
ed, gained some excellent experience
and practice and they will most like
ly send the visitors home much
sadder but wiser crowd.
Everyone should turn out and
show their loyalty to the local teams
and give them a word of encourage
ment.

TAYLOR CASE In THE
PROBATE COURT
Abuse Hurled at Witness as
Well as Opposing Counsel
by Stafford in Insanity
Case Tuesday

The case of the sanity of Verne L.
Taylor came up in the Probate Court
in this city last Tuesday afternoon.
This case was the outcome of war
rant which was sworn to by William
Devlin to the effect that Taylor was
insane and was a dangerous man to
be at large in the community. Tay-
lor was represented by Attorney Stat
ford, of Gooding, who was his coun-
sci during the murder trial as we'll
as the insanity inquisition in the
district court, while County Prose-
cutor Beckwith and Attorney Green
handled the states case.
The greater part of the morning
session was dry, the many witnesses
that were introduced by the defense
in the murder trial appeared for the
state in this hearing and repeated
practically the same testimony as
was heard at the previous hearings.
Those who testified at the morning
session were: Frank Boyd, Rev. ].
L. Taylor, John F. Gaines, o. E. Can
non, w. L. Bach, Carl Carlson, A. A.
Sessions, o. E. Norell, w. D. Talley
and L. B. Green.
The afternoon session was some
what lively with tilts between the at
torneys and between Attorney Stat
ford and the various witnesses. R.
w. Beckwith, prosecuting attorney,
who with l.. B. Green, conducted the
states case, was the first witness put
ON the stand in the afternoon ses-
sion. He was put on the stand for
the purpose solely of identifying the
series of letters which Taylor had
written to his relatives and friends,
and which were introduced at the
murder trial. The submission of the
letters in the case was objected to
by Attorney Stafford on the ground |
hat they were at that time the prop
erty of the district court and that |
JhS SbotS . dbbOAHOy was W1LhOub LuO
proper authority to introduce them
rs exhibits. The court ruled against |
him and this seemed to incense the
gentleman to such degree that he
in feeble manner to dis r
credit the County Prosecutor in the
conduct of the entire proceeding and
20 make it appear that Mr.. Beckwith
lad taken a most inconsistent stand
n the whole matter.
Mr.. Stafford was then called to
he stand by Attorney Green and he
'efused to take the stand until or
Tered to do so by the court. He
vas a very reluctant witness until
he questioning of Mr.. Green began
'pened up with considerable abuse
which he heaped upon the head of
lis interrogation. He told Mr.. Green
hat he was either a fool or was en-
to make farse out of the
ghole case. He stated that Taylor
ad been in his office for two years
aking training as an attorney and
hat he was quite well acquainted
nth him. He also stated that upon
aylor's request he appeared as his
Ounsel in the murder case. He stat
d that from the conduct of the case
hat he was of the opinion that the
efendant was being jobbed and ac-
that it was his notion

Flocks Are in Good Condi-

Weather; Feeding
Heavy

sheepmen of this locality report
their fiocks to be in excellent condi-
ton. A number of them have been
lambing and very good results are
reported in spite Of the earliness of
the season and the present cold
weather. 1t seems that the dry cold
does not affect the young lambs to
the extent that the dampness does.
The amount of moisture in the
ground at the present time insures
good range conditions and sheepmen
generally are looking forward TO
very good year during the coming
season.
