Bothwell and con curred in by Justices Morgan and Budge, In which the conviction in the lower court rendered by Judge Charles P. McCarthy, is affirmed.

It Is held by Judge Both» well that the visit and demonstration by the Jurors when they took a broom and Illustrated with it, and the making of statements to outsiders In the pres ence of the Jury, constituted receiving evidence other than a view of the premises. The defendant, however, having consented to this view, the Judge states, should have availed him self of the first opportunity to call the attention of the trial Judge to the error or irregularity which was when the Jury returned from a view of the premises. The alleged assault was committed with a broom, the handle of which was broken after the blow delivered on the head of Mrs. Wroten.

The state land board will probably not make a rule permitting the auc tioning off of state range land com monly classed as cattle range to the highest bidder, thereby permitting to pass Into the hands of sheepmen to be used as sheep range, If It heeds the warning of the Idaho Cattle & Horse Growers' association as made to the board by Senator Ravenel Macbeth, on behalf of the association. The warn ing was In the form of a letter ad dressed by the association to the gov ernor. In It is quoted an excerpt from the deolelon of the supreme court the case of the state versus Omaeckelr anla wherein It was held where own er of sheep knows or Is able to ascer tain a certain g'ven area Is used as cattle range and wilfully herds sheep on It to graze, he becomes a trespas ser. The board decided to give the members of the association a hearing next Saturday morning. The letter fol low^: "Dear Blr: "In compliance with request made me by, the president and secretary the Idaho Cattle & Horse Growers' as sociation, I respectfully call the at tention of the members of the state board of land commissioners to a re solution which was adopted at the meeting of the association held In Po catello on the 15th instant and which is as follows, to-wit: "^Resolved: We, the representatives of the several cattle and 1 orse growers' associations of Idaho, in convention assembled at Pocatello this fifteenth day of March, 1816, hereby Indorse the decision of the Idaho supreme court rendered Oct. 5, 1915. In upholding the constitutionality of section 6872 of the revised codes, and particularly invite attention to that part of the opinion written by Justice Budge In the case the state versus Omaeckelrania which was concurred in by Chief Justice Sul livan and Justice Morgan, and which Is as follows: '' ' "When the owner of sheep knows, or by the exercise of ordinary care able to ascertain that a certain given area of the public domain has been used and Is then being used as a cattle range, and he wilfully and knowingly herds, drives and grazes his sheep up on such cattle range, It then becomes his wilful act or trespass, and he clearly amenable to the provisions section 6872." ' ou will perceive that the leasing of state lands which are within that portion of the public domain which has been used and Is now being used as cattle range to livestock interests oth er than cattle interest would be violation of the provisions of section 6872." 8CRAP BOOKS.
