A-2 Times-News, Twin Falls, Idaho Wednesday, July 7, 1993 No verdict after jury's 18th day Weather JBOISE (AP) An 18th day of deliberations yielded no verdict Tuesday in the trial of whitei separatist Randy Weaver and co-defendant Kevin Harris for last summer's murder of a federal marshal. Expectations that a decision might be near were raised after jurors asked U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge on Monday to clarify his in During a brief hearing, Lodge answered yes and more sharply defined the difference between aiding and abetting and being a to a crime. After the hearing, Weaver read the jury's note to Lodge and then smiled and handed it to Harris, pointing out the signature of the new jury foreman John Harris Weaver, a 43-year-old Boise pressman. The jury resumed deliberations shortly after 7 a.m.

Tuesday and retired for the evening at 6 p.m. The panel had put in about 162 hours working toward a verdict through Tuesday. Weaver's attorney, Gerry Spence, said the deliberations were the longest he had ever seen and had left him "certifiable." "Anyone who tells you how long this jury is going to deliberate is by definition a fool," he said. Weaver, 45, and Harris 25, are charged in the slaying of Deputy U.S. Marshal William Degan.

Harris is charged with shooting Degan in a confrontation near Weaver's northern Idaho cabin and Weaver is-charged with aiding and abetting Both face life imprisohment if convicted. Weaver and Harris also are charged with conspiring against the government and firearms violations.

Jones Mini-Cassia News Service MINIDOKA History books say-little about howdaine County leaders managed to hang onto a strip of land stretching all the way to Snake River. But a map hints at why they wanted it." Eight miles wide at its north end, the strip widens to 14 miles just before ending at the Snake River -thus taking in the Union Pacific Railroad's Oregon Short Line. The railroad, and the power lines that followed, make the Yale district worth having, despite the costs of serving the far-flung district. Blaine County spends an average of $60,000 a year on the area's 36 residents, but it received $116,000 in tax revenue last year, county and state records show. Union Pacific, with $5.4 million worth of track, is no longer the district's largest taxpayer.

Three power lines running across the district-give Idaho Power Co. a $6 million tax assessment. Farm land, houses and telephone lines account for the district's remaining $5.3 taxable value, bringing the total to $16.7 million. Though life in the Yale district might be more, convenient it were part of Minidoka County, property taxes would be higher. Property-rich Blaine County has one of the lowest property tax rates in the state.

If the Yale district were part of Minidoka County, property taxes for the area would have been at least $255,000 more than double. Tax rates would more than double too from $6.99 per $1,000 of taxable value to $14.70. Actress Shirley dies at 74 LOS ANGELES (AP) Anne Shirley, who began her career as child actress Dawn O'Day and gained adult stardom in "Anne of Green Gables," "Stella Dallas" and other films, has died of lung cancer. She was 74. Miss Shirley, who retired after making "Farewell My Lovely" in 1944, died Sunday at her home, said Tom Turner, a friend of 1 5 years.

UTAH I Continued from A1 Yale residents call dispatchers in Hailey, who then must request help from Minidoka County Sheriff Paul Fries.

Minidoka County deputies willingly oblige, but their day-today presence in the area is rare. "If we take all the hours we spend there in a year, it's probably about five to seven Fries said. Ambulances, likewise, are also provided courtesy of Minidoka County. An emergency vehicle dispatched from Hailey would be more than'an hour in coming. "We would die before it would get here," Miller said.

Sixteen students from the Yale. District attend Minidoka County schools for which the Blaine County School District paid $9,443 last year. Blaine County supplies its own bus and driver. Cindy Hruza hauls the students to Acequia Elementary School, where junior and senior high students then board Minidoka County School District buses for the rest of their commute. Road maintenance takes careful planning, said Mont Roseberry, who works out of Carey for Blaine County's road department, Once every four years, 1 1 men take six trucks, a grader and other equipment on a four- or five-day safari to resurface the peninsula's roads.

Winter can be extra challenging; a round trip from Carey can take a snow plow more than 14 hours, Roseberry said. "There were days that Minidoka County had school, but we couldn't get our little girl there because of the roads," Yale resident Jeramy Smith said. And then there are elections. Though Yale residents are on a first-name basis with Minidoka County's elected officials, they didn't know any of their own. "We pretty much put of it.

I don't even know the people that are running," Smith said. And since Yale folk don't read Blaine County newspapers, tax issues can catch them off guard. "I went to my mother's One day and looked in her Times-News and read, 'Blaine County passes multi-million dollar levy' well how-dee-do," Jolene Miller said. When Yale residents do find out about tax elections, they are known in the Blaine County Courthouse for consistently voting no. Yale residents don't see much value in approving Blaine County tax levies, Smith said.

"Do I care whether they have a wonderful swimming pool in Hailey?" Jolene Miller asked. "My kids don't get to use it." But for all the quirks of being a Blaine County colony, Yale offers certain charms. "Free, open air, no people," Smith said. "We always tell friends, 'When you're in the neighborhood, just drop Jolene Miller said.
