That the atmospheric conditions of
the past two days have had a livenlnb
effect on the people of the city was
indicated by the number and variety
of cases In police court this morning
In all 13 "culprits" were brought be
fore the bar of Justice, either In per
son or by attorney this morning, and
they were charged with varied of
fenses. Chinamen Suffer.
Jim McCarty and Mike O'Rourke,
botn cf Irish tendencies, were charg
ed with having made a rough house
at t'ng Goey's noodle Joint Saturday
evening. They did not appear In
person, but Attorney J. P. Winter, who
represented them, entered a plea of
guilty and they were each fined to.
According to the story told by Ung
Goey, the two men patronized his
place Saturday evening and when
through eating noodles tried to pay
him 20 cents Instead of 30. This lei
to a row in which Chinamen and the
Irish participated so vigorously that
the night officers soon arrived on the
scene and placed the entire crowd In
Jail. However, at the Instance of City
Attorney McCourt, Goey's case was
dismissed this morning.
Clyde Estabrook was charged with
having made war on the Chinese
in another quarter by throwing a bot
tle at a laundryman on Cottonwood
street. He pleaded guilty and receiv
ed a fine of Jo.
John Wallatsl, ex-Carlisle football
player and late of the county Jail, was
again in trouble this morning as the
result of a thirst he cannot quench.
He and Henry Pond, another Indian,
had beer, fighting and they were given
35 or three days each. They did no;
have the money and Judge Hailey
recommended them to the street
cleaning department, to which sug
gestion Wallatsl replied with a grin.
"Well, we're working men."
"Masher" Gets His.
Charles Andrews, a tall young man
with light hair, was charged with be
ing drunk and having Insulted a wo
man who was passing along the street
last evening. The Judge himself had
seen the action and when he imposed
the sentence of 10, or five days for
disorderly conduct, he said:
"I would do moro for you If I
could, for a man who will insult a
woman passing along the streets needs
a heavier punishment than the lw
allows in this case."
The other prisoners this morning
were George Llncher and George
Pasco, who admitted they had been
drunk and were giver, the ustal $5 or
three days.
BRUNEAC COMPANY ENJOINED.
Kansas Men Claim It Is a Gigantic
Swindle.
Says a Boise dispatch:
A huge land fraud Is alleged to have
been engineered by the Bruneau Land
& Irrigation company In an Injunc
tlon suit Just started iti the district
court. The plaintiffs are Ira O. Shel
lenberger, I. E. Close and X. V. New

Attorney Frank Martin are to the ef

tluced by agents of the company to
come to Idaho and purchase extens
ive Irrigation rights which the com
pany In question had at no time been
aufe to construct and operate. Dam
an In the sum of 32100 are asked
for by each of the three plaintiffs.
The scene of the projected Irriga
tion works as well as the land filed
for by the three Kansans Is on the
Snake river about 30 miles from
Glenns Ferry, and the plans of the
defendants, It Is claimed, were deeply
laid for the deception of home-seek
ers throughout the western states.
On October 5, 1903, the Bruneau
Land & Irrigation company, under the
executive management of B. F. Olden,
president; T. B. Long, secretiyy, and
c. m. wicknam. Immigration) agent,
was Incorporated for the alleged pur
pose of constructing dams and reser
voirs to store the waters of the Bru
neau river, Jack's creek and Wlcka
honey creek In Owyhee county a,nd
to sell water rights to settlers. In
the years from 1903 to 190B Inclus
ive, agents were dispatched through
many of the western states to Induce
homeseekers to settle In this state and
buy water rights of the company In
question.
The defendants, It Is alleged by the
plaintiffs, never had enough money In
their treasury to build the water
works, and it is charged that they
never had any Intension of building
the same.
C. H. Thompson, the agent of the
irrigation promoters, canvassed the
state of Kansas, and while there In
terested the Ransom men In his prop
osition. The Kansans say they left Ransom
In July, 1904, and were met by
Thompson at Pueblo, Col. On August
9, 1904, contracts for tracts of land
In the Snake river country were
made with the Bruneau Land & Ditch
company. Each of the three
plaintiffs wrote 10 promissory notes,
falling due at Intervals of one year,
the first eight at face value of 3640
and the ninth and tenth of 3960.
The plaintiffs pray for the produc
tlon In court of the promissory notes
still outstanding and their destruc
tion. In addition to the Judgment for
damages. The district court yester
day ordered Injunctions to be served
on B. F. Olden, T. B. Long and C.
M. Wlckham.

WORK ON MODEL RO
Salem's "Good lload" Will Last n
Hundred Years.
Pendleton and Umatilla county are
anxiously awaiting the coming of the
government good roads train to this
count to build a mile of model road.
The Salem Journal says of the work
now being done near that city by the
government crew:
Tho work on the "object lesson
road," now In construction by gov
ernment experts, near the fair
grounds. Is progressing rapidly.
More than 460 feet have been rocked
with the finishing layer of screenings
and will be rolled effectively from
now on until the "object lesson" draws
to a close.
The two first layers of rock have
been applied for a distance of more
than 1100 feet. As the crew be6omes
mo,re familiar with the work, the put
ting down of the rock will be done
more rapidly. "That's a piece of road
that will Inst 100 years," said a farm
er who came from a distance to ex
amine the manner of construction.
Permanency Is one of the qualities
ol the macadamized roads, and right
here In Salem the entire system will
be tested, as It Is believed the method
of construction used on the "object
leson road" is of the most approved
type, and one that has been tested in
various climes.
