A rRIo or LEaAL IrMlNAnIrs

During court week for Cassia
county a large number of able law
yers were in attendance, and the
Times il giving them n write mp"
We copy the sketches Of three gen
tlemen well and faYorably known
in EEmore county:
G. @. Stockslagcr was born in
Indiana in 1885,, was educated in
Ohio. In 1870 he settled in chcro-
kte county, Kansas; was elected
clerk Of the district court of that
county in 1879 and served one trim,
after which he engaged in the prac-
tlee of law in southeast Kansas and
southwest Missouri. and was elected
county attorney Of Cherokee county
IN 1854, serving one term, during
which some of the most important
criminal cases ever tried in the
State were prosecuted to conviction.
They consisted of conspiracy to
destroy the records of the county,
which was partial success by the
use of giant powder in the vault Of
the courthouse where the records
were kept. Pinkcrton detectives
were employed by the county and
were tive months in getting the evil
dence, during which time Mr.. Stock
slayer was constantly engaged in
preparation OF the case. In 1887 he
was appointed by the President re-
oeiver Of the land Office at HALEY.
which position he was filling at the
time Of his election to lis present
position Of Judge Of this Judicial
district.
Vic Bierbower is Il Pennsylvania
by birth and is a college graduate.
He came to Nebraska in 1876, and
served two terms as district attor-
ney and one term in tho Legislature
of that State. In 1855 he came to
Utah and accepted the position OF
Assistant U. S. District Attorney
and for two years was engaged in
the prosecution of all the important
cases that led to the looking up of
polygamy and unlawful cohabita-
ton. He came to Idaho about four
years ago, and has an extensive
practice in all the southern counties
of this State. He lives at Shoshone
and has the finest law library in the
State outside Of Boise City. AS
every attorney excels in some branch
Of the profession, Mr.. Bierbower is
upheld as exceling in criminal law,
and is classed BY the bar as one of
the hest criminal lawyers in the
State.
Guy c. Barnum was born in Iowa,
in i847; moved to Nebraska; was
elected TO the Nebraska legislature
IN 1876; came to Idaho in 1880:
spent several years prospecting and
now has a ranch near Sal
mon Fails on Snake river, which lac
is planting to trees. Mr.. Barnum
was elected District Attorney of the
Fourth district in 1890.

SUCCESS an RAIN MAKEiss


The apparent success Of the d x
pcrimcntcrs in producing rain hy
artificial appliances in Texas on th,
18th instant, has created quite ar
interest among the people as "a
whether this rain, which tcrmiiIa.
ted long and disastrous droulh,
was actually produced by the 4
perimentcrs who are acting under
governmental patronage. or was the
result of natural causes indepeu IA.

electric explosives sent up by those
parties. Commenting on this occ pr

While the rainfall extended over an
area much larger than could I've OK
pected by the most ardent believer
IN the new proeess-about 1,qW
square miles-still the fact that The
descent was much greater at the
point where the experiments were
made, will cause the most cre,lu-
lous to hesitate before condcmnIng
the whole scheme. A serios of ok
pcriments will have to be made be.

determined; but the apparent hc-
cess of the nth would seem to JUS
tify a continuation Of the rain max
ing process until all doubt is re-

scheme. The objection made by
some writers that the concentrating

rob other portions Of the country of
their natural supply. is not nedes-
sarily well founded. OF course the
amount of moisture with which our
earth is supplied can not be in

a gradual profess of evaporation and

cial means, the arid districts mi ht
be abundantly supplied without di-
minishing the natural supply Of any
other portion-in fact this acceltra-
ton would naturally tend to in

calities already fully supplied. We
have little faith in the theory Of
soaring up rain BY q fourth Of July

LIBEL AND sLANpER.

IL is but few years ago when Il
would have been considered un
manly in Idaho to resort to the Law
in cases of libel and Islander. "Why
don't you take your gun and go and
settle it," was the ready advice
when some one had been attacked
by q newspaper or some story sci
ahoat detrimental to the character
OF men or women. In view OF the
recent libel suits in Bingham and
Eimore counties il can be pretty
safely asserted that the reign Of the
gun and knife has closed and that
henceforth personal suits for libel,
SANDER, assault and battery and
breach of promise of marriage will
not be at all uncommon in the dis.
triet court in cases where the de-
fendant IL responsible, and where
he is not so, criminal prosecutions
will follow in all but the failure To
marry-cases which are not Grim
inal.
In cases of homicide jurics in
Idaho are pretty certain to render
verdicts of guilty where the circum-
stances show anything like premcd-
itation. 1t is true that the extreme
penalty of the law is seldom exc
cutea and juries feel more disposed
TO find verdicts of murder in the
second degree and leave with the
court the responsibility of impris-
onment, but there are few men who
wish to sacrifice their liberty for the
remaining days of lifetime for the
qualification Of a feeling Of resent
ment. There is not 1.-THE of the
change Of slipping through the
neshes of the law in cases of muir
der or felonious assault that there
was ten years ago. The conse-
quence il that other means are re-
sorted TO for the purpose of obtain
ing satisfaction and indicating
honor, and those means the courts
of justice.
In New York. Pennsylvania, Yer
mont and some other Eastern States
the defendants in cases Of Islander
and libel are often women. Under
the gun and knife system the gentler
sex escaped all punishment, for
even the most degraded Of western
men would scorn to assail a woman
with a weapon, but in a court of
law the case may be differently re-
garded.
Libel may be punished by both
civil and criminal prosecution,
Judgment in the civil case being no
bar to criminal prosecution and a
conviction criminally being no bar
10 0 civil suit. 1t consists of print
ing or uttering words that are untrue
to bring another into public
or contempt. Slander con-
sists in untruthfully reporting of
another that he or she has commit
ted an act criminal in itself. Many
persons will have to learn to bride
their tongues, for Eastern customs
are coming into vogue on this coast
IN many ways.-Idaho Democrat.

have never had chance to hear the
