To the Democratic Voters Of Lake Charles
The time has come when the Dem.
ocratie voters Of tho town Of Lake

is too large and replete with good ma
terial TO submit any longer to the
chance of q Republican being elected
over Democrat.
The good and faithful Democrats
of Lake Charles are therefore earnestly
requested 10 meet at the Court House,
tonight at 8 O'clock ps m., for the
purpose Of organizing the party on a
permanent basis, and nominating Dem
ocratic candidates for Mayor, and

THE WOUNDED THIEF.
Chief Melklejohn Says That Jordan
Merely Obeyed Orders.

The shooting of Sneak Thief Kelly yester-
day morning by Officer Jordan has given
rise to considerable public comment. While
a great many people censure the officer for
shooting a thief whose booty was but a
box of cigars, there are many men of good
Judgment who applaud his act.
"You cap inform those people who are
croaking about Jordan's haste in shooting
at Kelly" said Chief Meiklejohn yesterday
to a MINER reporter, ''that the officer was
only obeying orders when he unloaded his
gun. The entire police force has been in
structed to shoot any thief o. other Grim
inal who does not submit to arrest. and
the boys intend to obey the order. Kelly's
case will serve as a warning to the thieves
and thugs OF Butte not to tride with the
officers"
Kelly was removed to the Sisters Hos
pital yesterday. The ball has not yet been
extracted, it being in such a position that
DR.. Hough thought it best to let it rest
there for a few days and await develop
ments. The wound was carefully probed
and it is not considered fatal. Last night
the young man was resting as quietly as
could be expected under the circumstances,
and displays great GOODNESS in his unenvied
position.

A Pretty Programme.

If certain reports from Washington are
reliable, Pocatello has a booming future.
1t is said tt at a5 the instance Of the Union
Pacific Railway managers. a sufficient plot
of land will be withdrawn from the Fort
Hall Indian reservation to make room for
a large town. which the company expects
to have at PocateliS. The plan Of action
is to have the land required withdrawn
from the Indians and declared open for
settlement. Manager Galloway will then
cause the entire tract to be entered, and an
order will be issued making Pocatello the
supply point for the Utah & Northern and
Oregon Short Line Railways. Then men
will be put to work widening the track Of
the Utah & Norther to the usual stand.
ard broad gauge of the Union Pacific sys-
tenn, and when this is done the shops at
Eagle Rock ano Shoshone will probably be
consolidated at Pocatello. This is a very
pretty programme. and, if ever carried out.
will make Pocatello one of the best railroad
towns in the West. But the question is:
will the Union Pacific succeed in securing
the necessary land from the Government?
