From The New York Times of May 23, 1907:

HARD ON IDAHO JURYMEN.
—–
Farmers Must Go to Boise When Their
Land Needs Attention.

BOISE, Idaho, May 22.-The Haywood trial is at a standstill to-day while sheriff “Shad” Hodgin and almost his entire force of deputies are in the county, summoning the extra venire of sixty men ordered yesterday, when the last special venire of 100 drawn for the case was exhausted. The Sheriff expects to report the completion of his task to-morrow morning and the trial will be resumed at 2 o’clock to-morrow afternoon.

Jury service will come as a severe hardship on the farmers and ranchers who are being called from their work in the field at the time of the year when irrigation ditches must be kept in order, and the ground carefully tended to insure the year’s crop….
