Peavey vote probe 3- 1 1 1 1 Idaho Today City must boil water LAVA HOT SPRINGS, Idaho (AP) Residents of the small eastern Idaho community of Lava Hot Springs have been advised to boil their drinking water because the city water system showed signs of sewage contamination. Health officials said water tests indicated bacterial contamination in the city water system, which means all water used for human consumption should be boiled until further notice. City public works director Kenneth Tillotson said the water system has been chlorinated twice and he thinks new samples will correct what has happened." Peavey's 54-vote victory over Republican Maurice Ellsworth of Hailey in the November general election is being challenged by 52 voters from Minidoka County and two from Blaine County. They claim there were votes cast by people who had illegally registered in District 21. There were four precincts in Blaine County investigated by the challengers.

Auld confirmed he wrote the letters before depositions were taken in Blaine County on Dec. 16. The depositions were taken to accumulate BOISE, Idaho (AP) Sen. James Auld, R-Boise, wants the vote totals from a Southwest Ketchum precinct of Blaine County in the Nov. 4 election to be thrown out because of alleged voting irregularities a step which would switch the outcome of the challenged race involving Sen.

John Peavey, D-Carey. Aula made the suggestion in a Dec. 4 letter to his "Republican colleagues" in the Senate. The letter was one of four sent by Auld to GOP senators. "It's an outrageous case of fraud," Auld said Wednesday.

"I hope the Senate will see their duty which is to evidence in the case. "We had a great deal of information before the depositions were taken," Auld said. "I followed the situation rather closely. Anytime you're closer to a situation you have a strong exposure to the facts." Auld, a freshman lawmaker, said in his Dec. 4 letter: "I believe the need for action is clear.

And in my mind, there is no question that I will vote AGAINST allowing John Peavey to hold a seat in this body which he gained under such questionable circumstances." Peavey, a former Republican, said Auld's intentions should be evident. "They (the letters) were sent before the first hearing which leaves one to prejudge the case before the evidence was presented," Peavey said. Democrats claim the challenge is an attempt to gain a Republican veto-proof majority in the Legislature. There are 23 Republicans and 12 Democrats in the upper chamber, one short of the two-third majority needed to override vetoes by Democratic Gov. John Evans.

In another December letter, Auld said he is considering introducing a resolution to declare the Soutwest Ketchum precinct of Blaine County invalid. He said the resolution would direct the secretary of state to certify the recipient of a majority of the remaining valid ballots as the winner of the District 21 race. Auld is yet to introduce the resolution. Peavey said voters in that precinct would likely challenge that move, but Auld said he is "actively campaigning" to get the resolution passed. "I have a lot of faith in the members of the Senate," he said.

"They will come to a conclusion much closer to mine. They can't ignore the obvious evidence of wrongdoing." In his letter, Auld adds: "We may not be able to prove which individual voters were those which cast illegal ballots, but I don't think there's any doubMn our minds that fraud did take place." i DAHO SIP Thursday, January 15, 1981 Parents located I show the problem has been cleared up.

I Water chief is fined i REXBURG, Idaho AP) Jerry Brian, former supervisor of the Rexburg Water Department, has been fined $500 after pleading guilty to obtaining money under false pretense. Brian originally was charged with embezzling city property, but pleaded guilty to the reduced misdemeanor charge.

A preliminary hearing was scheduled Wednesday for Ralph College, a former city employee charged in the same incident. Brian was placed on probation for one year and received a 30-day suspended jail term. Magistrate Jerry Reynolds said he ordered 5 Brian to pay $500 dollars to the city as restitution. He also ordered the man to contribute 100 hours of public service to the city The magistrate said the $500 to be given to the city as restitution was more than the amount of money taken from the city of Rex-' burg. Murder dismissal asked BLACKFOOT, Idaho (AP) Attorneys for Ricky Lopez, charged with first-degree murder in a December tavern slaying, have filed a motion to dismiss the charge or lower it to a lesser offense.

Lopez, 27, Basalt, is charged with the Dec. 6 stabbing death of Esequiel Velasquez, 33, Moreland, in a Blackfoot bar.

(AP) Owyhee County Sheriff Tim Nettleton said Wednesday he thinks the killings of two state Fish and Game officers last week were "calculated." "I believe it was very definitely a first-degree (premeditated) murder," Nettleton said. "As far as the planning, the plan was hastily formed.

I can't go any deeper into that." The body of Fish and Game officer Conley Elms, 30, was found by authorities last Wednesday; while his partner William Pogue, 50, is stilt missing and presumed dead. Pogue has been missing since Jan. 5 when he and Elms went to a remote trapper's camp north of the Idaho-Nevada border to investigate alleged poaching complaints. Authorities have named the suspect as Nevada trapper Claude Dallas 30, who has so far eluded authorities. Jim Stevens of Winnemucca notified authorities the next day, saying he witnessed the killings when he arrived at Dallas' camp to bring him supplies.

Crunch cuts classes I 1 MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) About 25 percent of the University of Idaho students trying to register for some required classes have been turned away due to a fiscal crunch, school officials say. Robert Furgason, academic affairs vice president, said Wed- nesday it's not unusual for more students to want a class than there are seats available. "We normally expect some of this and try to keep a little discretionary money," he said.

But because the university's contingency fund was sacrificed to the state's budget ax last fall, the money was not available this I year when needed, Furgason said. 9 I Registrar Matt Telin said a record of 6,566 students registered Tuesday in the Kibbie Dome for spring classes. Last spring 6,352 signed up at the university, he said. But Furgason said about a quarter of the students wanting to A enroll in English 104, a required writing class, were turned away. About 675 students registered for the class, while 170 were refused.

Furgason said about 80 more would also have sought entry to the class if slots were available. He said while 30 new sections were opened in crowded classes last fall, only 10 new sections will be opened this spring. Furgason ff said each section between $1,600 and $2,000. 4 5 The funding for the new spring sections will come fr6m 'salary savings" gained by not filling staff vacancies, Furgason said. i Diabetes meeting set BOISE, Idaho (AP) The Idaho Chapter of the American Diabetes Association will hold a workshop for health specialists involved in diabetes education in Boise Jan.

Dallas said Wednesday he has not been in contact with his son. "We've been hounded by the FBI and local police, and I don't want to say anything about that boy," said Dallas. FBI authorities said Dallas has four brothers, two living in Texas, one in California and one in South Carolina. Dallas also has a sister and two half-sisters, said off icials. Dallas' parents told FBI agents their son's birthplace is Ravenna, where authorities now plan to" investigate.

Nettleton said in spite of the dozens of interviews conducted so far, no one contacted has reported any confrontations with Dallas. Most were surprised he is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, he said. Acquaintances and former employers described him as "quiet, shy, dependable and a good-hearted man," Nettleton said. Although he nevenwas a heavy drinker, he swore off even an occassional arinK aooui a year ago, Nettleton said. Idaho has a citizens' commission which proposes compensation for the 105 state legislators.

The commission's recommendations become law unless rejected or lowered by the Legislature. They cannot be raised. In 1978, a lot of legislators made lengthy speeches against pay raises, but the Legislature never got around to rejecting them and they went into effect. This year's recommendations actually were prepared last March. But the last session decided to delay the recommendations until the 1981 session.

Senate rejects pay hike I V-j ftt rrjivvv iiiiiiiii i iiii i i i BOISE, Idaho (AP) A political hot potato, legislative pay raises, came up in the Senate State Affairs Committee Wednesday afternoon.

And Senate leaders quickly voted that they want none of it, not in a year in which the state faces serious problems balancing its, budget. "This is not a good time to be raising our own salaries," said Sen. James Risen, R-Boise. The committee quickly sent to the Senate floor a resolution rejecting proposed pay raises of nearly $1,000 per year. The resolution could come up for a vote as early as Friday.

Violations would be punishable by a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment for 90 The House passed a similar bill in 1977, but it was amended by the Senate in a manner which was not acceptable to the House. The bill died in a conference committee. Brooks said with additional Republican support in the Senate since that time he was confident the measure would pass both branches of the Legislature this year. Republicans have a 54-16 margin in the House and a 23-12 edge in the Senate. Gov.

John V. Evans, a Democrat, indicated four years ago that if a right-to-work bill came to his desk, he probably would veto it. Brooks said he didn't know if there would be enough support to override a gubernatorial veto, should that action be taken. An organization, the Idaho Freedom to Work Committee, was organized several months ago to lobby for the measure. EU2LEY: 219 Main 678-2411 724 Scott Ave.

The action was taken with no debate during a brief meeting.

The sponsor, Rep. John Brooks, R-Gooding, said the bill had been introduced in the 1977 session in the Agriculture Committee and "I thought it would be proper that this committee introduce it again." Rep. Gordon R-Jerome, moved for its introduction and it carried without opposition on a voice vote. The bill provides that it would be illegal to require union membership as a condition, of employment. It would ban mandatory union hiring halls and union check-offs only when approved by written notice.

Brooks' bill said it is "declared to be the public policy of Idaho that all persons shall have, and shall be protected in the exercise of the right, freely and without fear of penalty or reprisal, to form, join and assist labor organizations or to refrain from any such activities."
