SIMPSONS ARE GUILTY
SAYS FEDERAL JURY
AT BOISE
After considering the ease nearly 18
hours, the jury in the **ase against S.
I). Simpson and VV. G. Simpson, cash
ier and president, respectively, of the
defunct American National bank of
Caldwell, returned a verdict of guilty
of a technical violation of the federal
hanking laws Saturday morning. The
jury recommended leniency, but the
minimum sentence that can be im
posed is live years in a federal peni
tentiary.
Evidence was introduced tending to
show that S. D. Simpson, as chasier of
the bank, gave W. G. Simpson several
time deposit certificates signed in
blank, one of which, calling for $2500,
was used in a Kentucky bank as col
lateral for a note of VV. G. Simpson's.
There were no funds in the bank to
cover it. This certificate was num
I ered in blue figures.
Changes Number.
Later another certificate, numbered
the same as the W. G. Simpson certi
ficate, was issued, but this was in red.
S. D. Simpson testified that he had
used a blank of another color for this
certificate and had changed the num
ber.
The directors of the bank testified
that they did not give W. G. Simpson
any authority to issue the certificate
to Iiis brother. In a previous trial of
the case the indictment failed to men
tion this, and the court quashed the
indictment.
May Dismiss Others.
There are several charges pending
against the Simpsons and J. L. Long.
It is probable they will be dismissed.
Mr. Long was recently indicted by
the state grand jury.
The Simpsons were defended by
ioriner Governor Hawley, C. H. Ling
enfelter, W. A. Stone and W. A. At
well, for 15 years a federal judge in
Texas, and at present a prominent
railroad attorney. United States Dis
trict Attorney McClear and his assist
ant, John R. Smead, represented the
government.
Preparing Appeal.
Commenting on the outcome of the
case, W. G. Simpson said: "The cer
tificates were issued for the purpose
of raising money for the bank when
one of them was negotiated and the
money sent to the bank, it was by a
clerical error entered in the wrong
account. The government claimed it
was done with intent to injure and
defraud, although the evidence pro
duced does not show that the bank
lost a single dollar by this transaction
as it was made good as soon as the
error was discovered; but the court
ruled that a reparation of a wrong did
not justify an acquittal.
"The jury stood six for acquittal
and six for conviction all night and
not until 9:45 o'clock Saturday morn
ing did it reach a verdict. The case
will be appealed. A bill of exception
is now being prepared."
Sure.
"It may seem queer,' said Mr. Burke,
"But you can bet it's so;
An idle rumor does more work
Than anything I know."

GIVE THE NEWCOMERS
THE GLAD HAND
A great many new people are com
ing into this county this winter. Don't
forget to give them your welcome.
Go up the first time you meet them,
introduce yourself, tell them who you
are and to make them feel right at
home. Let them know right away be
fore they have time to lind it out for
themselves, that our people are the
most hospitable and sociable of any
people in the world and that they can
count themselves the most fortunate
people in the world in having their
lot thrown among us.
Tell them all the good things you
know of the country. They have left
their own surroundings and come
among new conditions. They are na
turally easily frightened with some
thing they do not fully understand.
Did you ever get into a town a
stranger and lind that you continued
to be regarded as a stranger by the
citizens of that town? It was as
sumed that you were not a fit sub
ject to associate with until you had
by a long residence demonstrated
that you were not a thief of a wife
beater. This is the social atmosphere
that surrounds a stranger in many old
communities, but we are glad to say
that with us every stranger is as
sumed to be a gentleman until he
proves the contrary. We welcome all
strangers and we tell them so. We
want people to come and live among
us and we will make them feel our
welcome when they come.
OUR HATS ARE OFF
TO THESE FARMERS
No horse lor sale at anv price for
war purposes is the declaration of
Jefferson county, Nebraska, farmers,
according to a report from Fairbury
in that state.
They were met there by a buyer of
Kansas, who said he was willing to
pay top figures for animals suited for
cavalry and artillery purposes in the
European war. The farmers admitted
they had some horses for sale, but
said they were too much attached to
them to have them sent to a far-off
country, probably to be killed on the
battlefield.
USE THEM
Don't throw potato paring in the
garbage pail but into the s.tove and
thereby save yourself the annoyance
of having to call the tire department
to put out a chimney fire. The burn
ing potato parings prevents the gath
ering of soot. A man who is keep
ing up a strong coal fire in his range
evry day during the winter, says you
can never find a trace of soot on the
lid, the bottom of kettles or any part
of the stove if potato parings are
burned daily.

When muffins art on the breakfast table,
nobody cares for meat or eggs and they
would be served more often if this meal
were not prepared so hurriedly that there
is no time to make them. II K C, the

batter may be stirred up the night before,
put in the pan ready for baking and noth
ing to do in the morning but bake them.
One-Ega Muffins

spoonfuls K C Baking Powder-, 1 tea
spoonful salt; i cup sugar; i cup melted

Add to this the unbeaten egg, melted
shortening and water or milk. Then beat
all together until perfectly smooth. Oil

AUTO OWNER EXPRESSES
VIEWS ON USE OF
HIVER SIDE ROAD
Editor Caldwell Tribune:—Con
cerning the fact that there are some
men driving autos over the narrow
grade on the west side of Boise river,
beginning at the west end of the Can
yon bridge and extending for a dis
tance of a hait mile north, 1 wish to
state through your columns my views
upon the subject, which has been fre
quently and at times very forcefully
brought to my mind.
In the beginning I wish to class
all self propelled vehicles, autos and
motorcycles, together in my article.
The latter have unrestrained use
of the above said grade, while there
are only a few of the auto drivers, that
are inconsiderate enough to use this
grade.
The county has gone to consider
able expense and pains to construct a
road over the hill, which makes it
entirely unnecessary for autos or
motor cycles to traverse this grade.
Our . county commissioners having
considered the matter caused to be
placed at either end of the grade large
and plain warnings to autos to go
over the hill, which in my mind should
include motor cycles as well.
There is about one-third of this
grade that is hidden from view, by
willows as the traveler is crossing the
bridge, and also a point of rock mak
ing a turn in the road makes it im
possible for anyone to see but one
half of the grade at a time after once
entering upon the graihc. This point
keeping all vehicles from view until
within about thirty feet of each other.
In driving a team upon this grade 1
have frequently met other teams at
this point and one or the other had
to back up so we could pass.
We all know that there arc but
few horses that will stand to have
an auto or mortorcycle dash up to
within thirty feet and then have to
stop, while under a speed of 5 to IS
miles per hour, which would neces
sarily use up considerable if not more
than the thirty feet. 1 think 1 have
stated this fact very mildly consider
ing the speed at which most autos
and motor cycles are driven.
Further 1 may truly say that any
driver of a self propelled vehicle,
who is inconsiderate enough to drive
upon this grade, does tiot have con
sideration enough to drive as slow as
I said in the above case.
Upon entering the grade from the
north end, one is unable to see any
thing until one-third of the distance
is traversed and then can only see
the bridge, the other half of the grade
being invisible, until the point of rock
is passed.
Why is it necessary for any one to
have to point ont these facts? I can
hardly conceive that a man that knows
enough to drive one of these mach
ines. (), well! there surely is a dense
ness. a looseness, or shall 1 say
"A don't care what happens" to the
fellow that is of so small consequence
he has to drive a horse.
It makes me think of the elderly
lady, who was so afraid and was kept
(lodging until finally she became so
vexed that as carrying a stone jar
across the street an auto coming up
she set the jar down in the street and
sat upon it. The auto, driven by her
neighbor hoys, came to a stop. Upon
finding the lady's attitude toward au
tos they decidcd to take her for a
ride, to do which they had to pick
her up and sit her in the machine
and hold her. \fter the machine
gained enough speed that she saw it
would be hazardous to try escaping,
she began to enjoy the ride. Coming
up behind a deaf horse and driver the
usual warning was given, hut not
heeded. Then the elderly lady leaned
forward, said toot your horn again,
and if lie does not give the road run
over him.

Big Business
Big Business does not always hold a menace
Sometimes it is a necessity and works for the welfare of the public it
serves
Handling a million telephone messages every day is the biggest kind of
Big Business
Our task would be easy if this million messages were evenly distributed
during each twenty-four hours
But the telephone business doesn't work that way; people use the tele
phone when they want to and we must be ready to serve them when
they want to be served
In one single hour every morning, "the busy hour," over one hundred
and twelve thousand telephone messages pass over our wires
It is our task to provide switchboards, equipment, apparatus and opera
tors to meet the needs of this "busy hour" and to handle each call as
soon as it is received
A good part of this expensive equipment is not in use during the rest of
the day, but it must he ready for use when needed
All of these things cost money—big money—and a portion of this big
• investment brings no return during many hours of the day ,
Combinations of capital and combinations of brains, industry and labor
make Big Business
It is only because of this kind of Big Business that such investments
and such service are possible

"The Corporation Different"
nity was recently married and has
sized up the matrimonial situation
something after this fashion:
"Editor and wife disagree with one
another. She sets things to rights
and he writes things to set; she reads
what others write .and lie writes what
others read; she keeps the devil out
of the house as much as possible, while
he retains him and couldn't go to
press without him; she knows more
than she writes and he writes more
than he knows."
It seems as though he had the sit
nation sized up just about "write."
