AITuRAs SOMEWHAT DisFlGuRED.
Who Was Responsiblep Public
Thanks Of Elmore County.

The Republican County Conven-
ton of Alturas, held at Ketchum
last week, declared, among other
resolutions in its platform, that:
Alturas, though somewhat disfignred'
| ia still in the ring, and what is left of her
may he counted on to go republican oy
the usual majority.
The Gilmore county Republican
Convention, at Rocky Bar, on We'd
nesday of the same week, adopted
the following resolution:
In this, the first County Convention We
have ever held in Eimore, it is betting
that we should thank the party for our
existence as county.
"Thank the republican party for
it's existence" Yes, indeed thank
the republican party for it all
Thank the republican party for the
existence of Gilmore county and the
dismemberment Of Alturas. Thank
it for the existence of Logan coun-
ty, and for all the real estate Altu-
ras lost for the benefit of Bingham
and Custer counties. Still, Alturas
county, according to the republican
county declaration, though some
what disfgured, is still in the ring,
and may be counted on to go re-
publican by the usual majority"
Recurring to facts: Who repre-
sented Alturas county at the last
session of the legislature?
The record shows the following
nominees of the republican party
of Alturas in that legislature: In
the council, Mcpherson and Perkins
of Logan county. In the house OF
representatives, Burkhart, speaker
of the house and present republican
candidate for county treasurer OF
Alturas county; Van Setback, pres.
ent republican nominee for district
clerk and recorder of Gilmore coun-
ty; Mr.. Clay of Logan county and
Mr.. Waring of Logan county. All
good republicans, to whom the e.
more county republican convention
returns thanks for cutting up Aitu-
ras county and leaving its tax-pay-
ers to foot the bills. The republican
party of A!turas sis still in the ring
and proposes to give the usual re-
publican majority.
The other day we called attention
to the fact that the board of county
commissioners of Elmore ordered
the amount due to Alturas county
on the official apportionment Of The
old county's debts, to be paid into
the general fund of that county, in
stead of paying it to Alturas where
it rightfully belongs. The Gilmore
Bulletin sneered at the idea; but
Alturas lis still in the ring and may
be counted on to 60 republican by
the usual majority"
Do they propose to disfgu-e it
again? Is not once enough? How
many times do they propose to un-
lress Alturas, expose her, rob her,
nj t,en tell US they "are still in
t.le ring?"

The Census of Idaho.

The Idaho Statesman is out with
a bitter article against the census

The Democratic Legislative Ticket

The democratic convention that
met at Ketchum last Monday.
placed in the field three very strong
men for the legislature.
For Senator from Alturas county
George Steward was nominated.
Everyone in Alturas knows him,
respects him, and likes him, what
ever they may think of his politics;
Perhaps he is not to be censured
for his political sentiments, tor ne
inherited them. His father held
them before him. He was demo-
cratic leader of distinction in the
town of North Arson, Somerset
county, Maine, where George Stew
ard was born about thirty years
ago. Mr.. Steward came to Idaho
in 1878; resided for while at Boise
City, where he was engaged in the
drug business with VIM. II. Nye.
He came to Alturas county in 1881
and has been engaged here in active
business ever since. He is shrewd
and capable, and will carry votes
among all parties. He will make a
reliable and influential Senator. =
One of the two Representatives
to the House, nominated by the
convention, was Thomas Gibbons,
better known among his acquaint-
ances as tom Gibbons" He is a
mining superintendent, and has
been interested in mines at Smoky,
Bullion, and other districts in this
county since he first came to Wood
River in 1881. He is now superin-
tendent of the 0. K. mine, and has
considerable interest in the stock
business on Camas Prairie. He
was born on a sinking Loaf on
the Ohio river between Pitlsburg
and St. Louis, in 1856, when his
parents were on their way to Hi
nois, where his father was lead
miner. When seventeen years of
age he struck out for himself and
landed in Utah, where he engaged
in mining, and thence to California.
He has held every position about a
mine-is an intelligent, strong man
among the miners, and carries a
power wherever he goes.
Horace G.. Lewis, the other can
didate for the Legislature, is a we'll
known business man of Ketchum
and the whole Salmon river coun-
try. His freight teams and stages
are recognized along all the roads
in this section of the country. Born
at Minneapolis, Minnesota, about
thirty years ago, and educated in a
commercial college in that state, he
started in life with some advantages
which he we'll used. He was in
business in Montana for time, and
from that territory came to Idaho
in 1881, and has since led an active
life here in banking, freighting.
running stage lines, and doing q
general mercantile business. He is
noted for his activity and industry.
and if he carries those distinguish
ing qualities to the legislature, he
will carry an influence there thai,
will soon make itself felt. Know
ing the interests of Alturas county
practically, with his capacity for
work and action, he ought to &C.
complish much good for his county.
He is strong man on the ticket,
and it will be very difficult for any.
one to defeat him on the LIST Of o.

Rumors That Disaffection Already Exists
in the Ranks of the Striking Statesmen.
The strike of the statesmen does not prom
ise to Interfere, to very large degree, with
the wheels of the clothing trade. The pro-
prietors of the struck stores have agents IN
the East engaging men to come on here.
They have also an understanding among
themselves as to their course of action. For
the same matter, so have the statesmen on
strike. They don't propose to let their
places be taken by outsiders without an effort
to dislodge them. One of their number
said yesterday that there were good many
weakened among them. Another account
has it that more than one-half of the strikers
would like to be comfortably back at their
counters again. The present season is not
particularly suitable to much standing
around on curbstones, and the temperature
thereon is trife lower than that In the

1t was also said last evening by person

proprietors are still willing to give their
former employees preference for work over

All of the Records Broken.

CHARTIERs-During the month of October
the number of dry holes completed exceeds
any previous record of the field in the same
time. Generally speaking, CHARTERS does not
present any encouraging features and the
tendency of operators is to go slow. The
Fisher No. 2, on the Crawford, and No. 4 on
the Dixon, both came in dry as a powder horn.
The casing In Painter No. collapsed, caught
the tools and made a bad fishing job. The
well will most likely be abandoned.
Fisher No 2 near CHARTERS creek, has sus-
pended drilling at depth of l.500 feet and the
well will be abandoned. Zinkham & Bryan.
on the Bryan, are in the sand and the venture
is showing for a fair well. The Fisher Oil
Company shot their Steinmeler WELL which
for short time increased its production to the
$50 barrel rate per day. Humphrey, on a town
lot, is still fishing for bit at l. $50 feet. The
McKee's Rocks Oil Company, on the Zinkham,
are down 400 feet: Robson Co., on the Nc
Gunnigle $50 feet and the Fisher Oil Com
pany, on the Guthrie, have reached 600 feet.
There are number of new rigs all ready to
start drilling, but since the ecent batch of dry
holes came in the rig will either be sold or
moved to more productive digging. There
were 10 dry holes completed in the field during
the month just passed.

The Republicans are fighting

respectively. The Republicans are fighting
to WIN.
The Democratic campain in the Second
district has been conducted from the outset
with vigor and intelligence. There has been
a thorough canvass. Rodger Q. Mills, of
Texas, has made several speeches on behalf
of Breckinridge, and there is reason to be-
lieve has made votes for him. United States
Senators Berry and Jones have also been on
the stump in the district for the past two
weeks. and in addition many orators of local
and State reputation have taken part IN the
canvass.
NO STONE LEFT UNTURNED.
The Democratic managers have left no
stone uuturned to rouse the people and con-
fidently predict the election of Breckin-
ridge. The situation is fully understood.
No obstacle is overlooked. The fact that at
the State election the counties comprising
the district gave majority of 9, ,352 against
the Democratic State ticket is not underes-
tmated. With the very energetic canvass
which has been made and with a division of
the Alliance vote, as was shown in the cleo
tion of 1888, the Democrats believe that the
majority Will not only be overcome, bat
that Breckinridge viii be elected by a ma
jority which will reflect the intelligence of
the voters of the district.
Inc 7 mon Labor people ana the hepuo-
licans claim that Langley will carry the
district by from 1000 to 5000 majority.
They state that Jefferson county (the nome
of the late Colonel John NJ. Clayton) will
give him a majority of nearly, if not alto
gether, 5000, and that Lincoln, Monroe and
Faulkner counties will be carried for him
by larger maiorities than these counties gave
Fizner, the Union Labor candidate Tor Gov
ernor.
The canvass has been one of the most in
teresting ever known in the State; the out
come is equally interesting, wrapped as it is
in uncertainty.

CONFESSION OF sHINN, ,AsTAGE RoBBER
OF THE WILD WEST

Numerous Hauls Made by Him and Thorn,
a Partner-Besides Holding Up People
on the Highway, He Pleads Guilty of
Burglary and Garroting.
SACRAMENTO, November George
Shinn, who, with Charles Dorsey, alias
Thorn, escaped from San Quintin prison
three years ago. and was recently captured
in Chicago by Detective J. B. Hume, has
made a most startling confession. Ever
since they escaped Detective Hume has be-
lieved they were in this State, and were per-
petrators of numerous stage robberies
which have occurred since then, but he was
unable to obtain any positive evidence. Fri
dav night Shinn was transferred from San
Quintip to Folsom.
Shinn confessed that he and Thorn re-
turned to California in 1889 and camped on
the American river, about three miles from
this city. This was their rendezvous, to
which they always returned after their raids.
He admits that on July 81, 1889, they
stopped the stage from Milton to Sonora and
robbed the passengers of $50, blew open the
Wells-Fargo treasure box with giant pow
der, but found it empty. September 10, of
the same year, they stopped the stage be-
tween Quincy and Oroville, and took gold
bar worth $500 from the Wells-Fargo box.
In April of this year they held up the For
est Hill stage in Placer county and robbed
the passengers.
Besides these robberies Shinn confesses to
numerous burglaries, garroting and robber-
les committed by him and Thorn. They
returned to Chicago, May 80, this year.
They say between that time and the date of
the capture they committed something like
25 rohherieS and hurolaries in the State of
Illinois.
Their rendezvous on the American river
has been found by Chief of Police Drew, of
this city, who hunted for it for four weeks
before he found it. He says it is an ideal

HE MURDERED A WOMAN
And Afterward the Wretch Shot Himself
Through the Heart.

And Afterward the Wretch Shot Himself
Through the Heart
COLUMBUS, O., November "A most
horrible murder and suicide occurred at I13
East Rich street this morning. Tunis
Amack, a divorced man, shot and instantly
killed Mrs Elizabeth Anderson, a woman
VINO has separated from her husband.
Amack has known Mrs. Anderson for some
time and has been greatly smitten with her.
She signiied her intention of going back TO
her husband some days ago and Amack
threatened to hill her and himself, too. if
this was done.
This morning Mrs. Anderson got up to
cook breakfast, when Amack shot and killed
her. The murderer fled to his boarding
house and rushing upstairs he reused his
son, told him what he had done, and ordered
him from the room, saying that he was
going to kill himself. Soon after shot was
heard and the officers on bursting in the
door found Amack lying on the bed, dead
from bullet wound in his side.
