IDAHO'S BILL IN HAYWOOD CASE Legislator' Appropriation of Hun dred Thousand Nearly Gone Two Counties Pay, Beside. (Continued from Page One.) In my opinion was publishing the law from Bellinger and Cotton'a code rela tive toyofflclajs who refuse or neglect to perform their official duties." (Speeiil Dispatch to The Journal.) Boise, Ida., Aug. 6. The state board of examiners has been going over the bills incurred in the Haywood case, prior to and during the trial. The total amount of the bills allowed by the board Is $84,000. Other bills to the amount of $4,600 have been filed with the board and thore are still in outstanding bills the .sum of $6,400. This amount will brink the total to $96,000, leaving only $6,000 of the appropriation made by the last session of the legislature. In view of the fact that the cases of Pettlbone, Moyer and 8 imp kins are still on the calendar and have been set for October 1. It seems altogether probable that de ficiency warrants will be In order again. If the case are ever tried, and there are those who believe they never will be. Of the amount expended in the case James H. Hawley, chief counsel for the state, received $20,000, the Plnkertons $29,839.71 and the balance was distrib uted among the lesser lights in the case for the state. The counties of -Ada and Canyon will pay dims outsme of tne states bill, excels of $20,000. DRIVER INJURED. HORSE KILLED Such Was Result of Collision Between Streetcar and Wagon.

Now it is ended and In a rreat victory for the DeoDle. "I do not like the idea of having the bar remain open- for business at the Mil - waukle club. It looks as if the closing move were not sincere. It will require vigilance on the part of the community to keep the place closed, but our com mittee will remain intact and will tee that the officials perform their duty in the future. We want no more gam bling and intend to see that we do not have It. "The fight was the reoDle's and once It was started, swept along everything before It It gathered force at every step and today the cltlsens are rejoicing to think the club is closed and gambling stopped" Rejoicing At Tlotory. Rev. John M. Linden, of the First Baptist church, was one of the happiest men In Oregon City this morning. He referred to the closing of the Milwaukie club as a great victory for the moral and decent element In Clackamas I County. He said: "At my church yesterday all I said was that the club had been closed. That was enough. The people breathed ( a sigh of relief to think that the evil had been stopped in its works of rob bing the young men and fathers in this county. Never before have I seen a large congregation so happy over an . announcement as mine was yesterday . when told the club had been closed. Surely they must have had the matter much at heart to have been affected the way they were. "Hut let me tell you that we all appreciate the work of The Journal and other newsDBDers. Had it nnt been for The Journal's aggressive fight, . the movement would be now where It was at. the start. I think The Journal , did the work of closing the club. Surprised at Attituda. "What I cannot understand Is the at titude of the people of Milwaukie toward the club. Surely the fathers and mother of that place are not so - much different from others in Clacka mas county that they are willing to 'have their sons brought up in the shad- low of a gambling resort like the Mll Lwaukie club. Its very presence would contaminate their young minds and lead (them into a path of vice. 1 simply can- not understand their sentiments" Citizens in general also Joined In the oppressions- of satisfaction over the closing of the club.

It was tha Intention of placing , these bills la every home in the county ' , and arousing tha people, to the real slg- ; nlflcance of tha situation.
