The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1889-03-30

1t will be remembered that
after earle, who shot Helm here
last January, was discharged by
Judge Beatty at the preliminary
hearing, warrant was sworn out in
Boise, for his re-arrest, and Sheriff
Robbins sent after him. The object
of this warrant was to keep earle in
custody until the Grand Jury met,
the parties who were pushing the
matter being confident that true
bill would be found against him.
earle got news of the new move to
deprive him of his liberty and
skipped the country to evade arrest,
but he may now return with perfect
safety, as the following letter from
Tom Catalan, his attorney, will
show: THE Territorial Grand Jury
has fully INDICATED Justice Beaty's
action in the case of the Territory
VS.. earle, by unanimously ignoring
the charge against the latter. This
action of the Grand Jury bars
further proceedings against earle
for the killing of "Jesse James,"
earle can come and 60 where and
he pleases, for the evidence taken
before the magistrate has twice hon
orably discharged him, Judge Beatty
and fifteen citizens of Ada county,
under oath, fully concurring."
There are yet some strange things
going on in regard to this Garlic
Helm case. Parties in Caldwell,
whose names are withheld, are
writing to the dead mans mother,
in Washington; and they are writing
pure and unadultered lies. We re-
Gently saw letter from the mother
in which she stated that she had
been reliably informed by parties
living in Caldwell, that her son
owned a big ranch and lot of
horses, at Rockville, and other
personal property of considerable
value. The letter goes on to ask
advice and what steps to take to
secure her sons property. When
Ed. Helm was killed he had
nothing but few poker chips and
some letters of not very high
moral nature on his person. These
letters, principally from "Chippies"
were withheld from the mother, and
some cur in Caldwell, writes to the
woman that Judge Beatty withheld
very important letters found on her
son. Why anybody wants to de-
liberately lie and try to deceive
Mrs. Helm in this manner, is be-
yond comprehension. 1t cast no
reflection on Judge Beatty, as is I'M
doubtedly is the object, for there is
not the slightest shadow of truth
in the statements. Of course no
attention will be paid to Mrs. Helms
letters. If she believes everything
this low, scurrilous correspondent
fancies to write in preference to the
facts as stated by sworn officer of
the law, she will have to learn by |
experience.
Conductor Francis was going
to paralyze The TRIBUNE for saying
he was laid off by the Company, |
and as he is still punching tickets,
would have been justified in doing
so, we presume. The TRIBUTE was
wrongly informed. Both conductors
Francis and Ball are on duty. and
likely to remain there.
The Union Pacific "The Over
land Route" has placed buffet SER
vice in it's Pullman sleepers on reg
ular overland trains, which accom-
mediation will be greatly appreciated
by Pullman sleeping car patrons.
Looks as though The TRIBUNE
had been lying again. We now
have it from reliable authority that
the new stock yards in Caldwell
will not be built until after the
second coming of Messiah.
An unruly Irishman was
"jugged" by the combined efforts of
Constable Huntington and Deputy
Sheriff 81. Morrow last Monday
night. He was sobered up and
turned loose again.
"A colt belonging to John
Johnson, ran away Sunday, after
Johnnie off the road cart,
to which he was attached. Nobody
hurt-not even the cart.
The Texans who have been
looking over this country the past
lew weeks, have "pulled their
freight" and turned toward the ris-
ng sun.
