Dis- trict court convened in and for Idaho county Monday morning. There are not a great number of cases on the calendar and this term of court will not be strenuous. There are séven criminal cases on the docket, and of these the case of State vs. Dollie Olinger was dismissed this week by the prose- euting attorney. The case of State vs. James Oliver will pro- babably be dismissed. State of| Idaho vs. Monte Jewell was dis-| missed, the prosecutor stating that action would be brought against the defendant by the Forest Ser- vice officials in the Federal court.

Simon of Greencreek this week sol his fine farm consisting of 160 acres to Peter Hermis also of Greencreek, including the crop for approximately $100 an acre. *Thereason of Mr; Simon sell- ing his holdings is due to the fact that he severely sprained one of his ankles this spring and which has been giving him trouble, and not being able to work his own land decided to sell. He ex- pects to remove with his family to Colorado where relatives reside. Mr. Simon is one of those type of farmers that any community is proud to claim, being progressive, and always found back of any en- terprise or movement that has the development of the country at heart. His many friends hope he recovers rapidly from his recent misfortune and that some day in the future he will again be num- bered as one of our citizens. Peter Hermis, who purchased the land is a young progressive farmer who has made the Green- creek section his home for some time. Men who are acquainted with the land consider the buy a good one. The deal was made by H. H. Nuxotl. ; Renee Soe natty Mr. and Mrs. Felix Martzen and two children returned from Lew- iston Wednesday evening where they have been spending the past two weeks, The trip t6 Lewiston was made on account of Mrs. Martzen’s health who has im- commit rape, to be set later.

Mr. McKinley now has one of the finest herds of thoroughbred Poland China hogs in the coun- try, and it is Mr. McKinley’s contention that it costs no more to feed a blooded hog that it does an ordinary one—if anything less. That he has the right idea surely cannot be Wenied for with an or- dinary hog a quarter ton of meat could not? possibly have been put on its bones. The best evidence of his arguments, however, is the check for $91.81 which he re- ceived for one single hog, Some hog! Can you beat it?

V. Allen, former state treasurer, this week, but they failed. Allen will re- main in the penitentiary with the possibility that his term may be commuted to’ a ‘definite time. The strongest kind of influences were at work, friends of the former state treasurer claiming that he had"been punished suffi- ciently to warrant his release. Allen was sentenced to a term of from 5 to 10 years four years ago. Counting off his good time he has served the minimum but on the straight time he has not. He confessed to the theft of $70,000 state funds. The state recovered this amount and more from his bondsmen, ; Gue Owen, who has been en- gaged in the restaurant business in Lewiston for many years, has retired.from business and in a short time will return to his old home in China to spend the rest of his days with his children and grandchildren.
