James Odle brought suit last week
against John Hotelling before justice
Vincent ut Mt. Idaho. claiming $500
damages for the killing dog belonging
to the former. The case was tried Mon
day before u jury. ]. F. Ailshie appear
ing for the plaintiff. r. F. Fulton for
defendant. The evidence showed the
dog to be valuable one for helping to
drive cattle. Hotelling's defense was
that he WAS justified in his action, he
having been troubled by dogs running
his sheep, and had lost one by dogs a
day or two previous to this, and the
sheep running up to the house as for
protection he went out of the house to
see what was the matter. At first he
did not see anything and returned to
the house. The sheep again started to
run Mr.. Hotelling went out the second
time and saw the dog between the house
and barn. going toward the sheep. On
seeing him the dog started for the road
when Mr. Hoteling picked up his gun
and shot The plaintiff claimed that
the dog was on his way home from chas-
ing coyote. The jury brought in
verdict for plaintiff for one dollar.
Clarkson, chairman of the republican
national committee. has issued an ap-
peal urging republicans not to subscribe
for, support or read democratic newspa.
pers because they are hostile to the re-
publican party. Clarkson is fool who
ought to be bounced ont of the high
place he unworthily fills in republican
councils. The average American citizen.
whether republican or democrat, is inn
partial enough to read both sides, and
learn just what his political opponents
are striving to accomplish. Clarkson
was born several centuries too late. He
would have been an accomplished poll
ucian Of the practical" stripe in the
dark ages when the rack and the stake
were the educational instruments used
to keep the people in the true faith, but
his methods are wholly out of place in
these closing hours of the nineteenth
century. Clarkson Is a back number
who ought to be put on the shelf with
the old files as q record of the dim and
musty past. Such appeals to partisan
prejudice, bigotry and intolerance are
enough to lose the presidential election
to the republicans before they have
nominated their candidate, and then
there wouldn't be any fun at all next
year for either side.
