Set; Date of Trial Monday.
BOISE, Idaho, March 25. (Special.)
Charles H. Moyer, William D. Haywood
and George A. Pettibone, charged with
the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg,
will be separately tried 1n the District
Court for Ada County in this city. At the
convening of the opening term of the
court next Monday mornini?. Judge Wood
will announce the dates for the trials,
and it will be decided which defendant is
10 be put on trial first.
Judge Wood this morning denied the de
fense's motion for a change of venue. In
stating his position. Judge Wood said:
"Gentlemen, at this time I am ready to
render my decision upon motion' of the
defense for change of venue. I have
carefully gone over the evidence submit
ted to supiwrt arguments of counsel
for both sides and have carefully exam
ined authorities. I do not think it is
necessary to cite fails or review evi
dence. I have concluded, after consider
ing the matter, if satisfactory to defend
ants, to move the case to Ada County,
or overrule motion for a change and at
tempt to impanel a jury here. Jf the lai
ter course should be adopted and it be
came clear at the time an effort was
made to impanel a jury that a motion
should be granted, defendants would then
be given an opportunity to renew the
motion.
Prejudice Is Strong.
'!t is clear to mo that conditions here
exist prejudicial to defendants that do
not oxist. .could not exist in Ada. or any
other county. Many creditable authori
ties are of the opinion that such local
conditions would not be a bar to trying
the case lit a county because of such
local ooriiHtions its exist In Caldwell. If
from other portions of the county, jury
men unprejudiced and unbiased could be
secured, a motion for a change of venue
might bo overruled. I am not sure a
.1 1 1 ry ca nnot be secured from other por
tions of Canyon County that would in
sure for the defendants a fair and im
partial trial, t want to be certain it hat
the rights of these men are protected; that
ihey get a fair and Impartial trial to
which -they are entitled. I would un
hesitatingly grant the motion If T was
mire that the granting of a change to
Ada County would be final. Vnder con
ditions as they appear to exist here, I
do not feel Justified in moving -the case
to the larger county, in which so many
persons qualified for jury duty reside,
finle?s sure the county to which the case
is moved would be final.
"Your Honor." asked Mr. Nugent, "do
I understand correctly that you will grant
our motion for change of venue and move
it he case to Ada County, providing de
fendants will waive-whatever right they
may have to later move for a change of
venue from Ada County, should the in
vestigations made in that county seem
to us to warrant making such a motion?'
Wanted Nugent on Record.
"I want the record to show, Mr. Nu
gent, that the defendants consent to
move to Ada County," replied Judge
Wood.
"Then unless we do give such consent,'
asked Nugent. "It is your Intention to
overrule the present motion?'
"That is it,' replied the court!
After Mr. Nugent had consulted with
his clients he Mated they preferred Wash
ington County, but Judge Wood stated
that ho would not send the case there.
There Was some further discussion about
waiving of the right to apply for a change
of venue from Ada County when Nugent
said:
"Hut should we Rive our consent to go
lo Ada ( "ounty, would the defense not
have to waive its right in that county
to move for a change of venue if unsat
isfied with conditions there?"
"That is a question that 1 would not
imps on at ithis time not until we get to
it." replied Judge Wood. "All the court
asked is for the defendants to consent to
go to Ada County."
"We consent." replied Mr. Nugent.
"Motion is allowed. announced Judge
Mood. "By consent of the defendants,
the case is transferred to Ada County.'

Mr. Lownsdale does not give out
many details, but he boasts" that lie
has been marketing his Baldwins and
Ren Davis culls for more money than
the Hood River people got for their
first-class apples of the same varie

of the superior keeping quality of his
apples, which enabled him to hold his
fruit until all other growers were out

This is a practical demonstration of
the claim that Mr. J.ownstlale has al
ways made that his fruit will keep
longer than the Hood River apples. He
also claims to have had the same ex
perience for several years.

BEG TO GET DEEDS
Holders Bogus Land Certifi
cates Before State Board.
NO ANSWER IS GIVEN THEM
Governor Opposes Granting Request.
Former Member of Board AV anted
lo Buy Turner Certificates,
so It Is"Said.
SALEM, Or..' March 23. (Special.)
Jacob D. Holtzerman.I of Minneapolis,
attorney for the holders of 14 Kelll-her-Turner
school-land certificates, cov
ering about 2MX acres located in South
ern Oregon, appeared before the State
I.and Board at its special meeting this
afternoon in the interest of his clients,
who want deeds to the land. Most o
them live at Dayton, Ohio.
These certificates were among i those
Issued upon what is known as the Kelti-hor-Turner
applications, which were al
leged by ex-State Land Agent Oswald
West to have been forgeries, and upon
being Investigated by the Marion County
grand jury during the month of April,
1905, were so reported to the State Land
Board.
The grand jury called the board's at
tention to the fraudulent nature of the
applications to purchase and demanded
that before issuing deeds the 1 board
Investigate fully inro the . matter- The
board thereupon suspended all cer
tificates issued upon alleged bogus ap
plications, pending- investigation, and
later on cancelled nearly all those issued
upon the Turner applications, and
among those cancelled wore those pre
sented today by Mr. Holtzerman.
He produced two letters written to
him by ex-State Treasurer Moore offer
ing to purchase certain of these certifi
cates covering lands in Klamath County.
The letters were written in January of
1506. after the certificates had been re
ported as being tainted with fraud by
the Marlon County grand jury, and after
their suspension by the State Land
Hoard, of which Mr. Moore was a mem
ber. After listening to Mr. Holtzerman's
version of the case, the board decided
to take the matter under consideration,
although the Governor expressed him
self as being against the issue of such
deeds by the board, as'similar eases had
been turned down by them. There
fore no action was taken in the mat
ter, and probably will not be.
After the meeting, Mr. Holtzerman
said to The Oregonlan representative:
"It is very strange that a member
of the .State Land Board should write
a letter offering to purchase lands
covered by certificates when he had
been apprised of their fraudulent
character, and I think it is still more
strange why he should later vote to
cancel on the grounds of fraud in the
same certificates when he had no more
evidence as to their fraudulent character
than he had upon the day he offered to
purchase the same. Mr. Moore told me
he was sure the certificates were genu
ine at the time he wrote the letters, but
that does not help me out any, and un
less the land board issues deeds for this
land I hold certificates for 1 will be out
about $4-m"
Mr. Moore said in explanation of writ
ing the letter that no particular land was
specified, that he desired to acquire
some adjoining his brothers place, ana
thought the certificates were all right.
Hl'XG HEAD DOWN ALL SIGHT

the exposure.
Anderson leaves a young wife and

HE1MATISM
AN ACID BLOOD POISON
Rheumatism is an acid blood poison, and the causes that prodnce it are
often silently accumulating; ia the system for -years. Poor digestion,
stomach troubles, weak kidneys, torpid liver, a.nd a general inactive condi
tion of the system leaves the refuse and "waste matter, which should be
carried off, to sour and form uric acid, which is absorbed into the blcod.
When the blood ia in this acid-charged condition, it deposits the poisons
and irritating- particles with which it is loaded in the muscles, nerves,
joints and bones. Then Rheumatism gets possession of the system, and
life is made miserable by its pains, aches and discomforts. The changing
of the weather, exposure to cold and dampness, etc., always increase the
trouble, and so severe does the pain become that quick relief must bo
had. A good liniment or plaster is often helpful, but it should be re-'
membered that relief from such treatment is only temporary, because the
trouble is in the blood and cannot be re-
tJ moved by external applications. S. S. S.
