Show FEDERAL CASES. 01 THIS AT POCATELLO Governor Brady Satisfied With Condition of State Institutions. Insti-tutions. Special to The Tribune. POCATELLO. April 19. The United States district court for the southern division of the district of Idaho, which convened here last Monday, with a large calendar before lt, is still In session, although al-though the grand jury has finished Its labors and has been discharged. ' The jury In the case of the United States vs. William R. Thornton, charged with stealing a number of horses from the Port Hall Indian reservation, returned re-turned a verdict of guilty, and the judge sentenced him to pay a fine of $1000 and one year's Imprisonment In the federal prison. The court Is now engaged with tho trial of Craven et al. vs. the Cltv of Montpeller. This case grows out of the construction by the plaintiffs of a waterworks water-works system for the city of Montpeller, and which the latter city claims was not constructed in a workmanlike jnanner nor in conformity with the plans nnd specifications. Tile next case to come before the court will probably be the case against Charles Read, a prominent saloonkeeper, charged with illegal sales of Intoxicating liquors. Some interesting questions of law arise in this case. Mr. Read holds both slate and federal Ucennes, but he Is charged with making certain sales to -women In the restricted district of the town, which Is a nhort distance from his saloon, and lt Is contended that his licenses do not protect him in the salo of intoxicating liquors at any place other than specified In the license. Tho violation Is a technical tech-nical one. Governor Brady at Pocatello.
