THE Silver Messenger reports an
accident which befell our friend Alec
Kleupfer few days ago, by which
he might easily have lost his life,
but fortunately escaped with moth.
ing more serious than a good cold
bath. He had joined a party to as
cend mountain in the vicinity of
Bonanza, and in order to be before
hand in making the ascent, left his
home the evening of the day before
the company was to start, intend.
ing to tighten the next days work
by making q part of the journey
the day before. The snow was deep
and the trip had to be made on
snowshoes. He set out alone and
got along all right until he reached
"the narrows" in Jordan creek,
when the ice gave way under his
feet and the mass went down into
the surging water. His snowshoes
which were securely fast to his feet
became wedged in the snow and ice,
and the cold water began to rise and
swirlabout him, reaching his arm
pits before he had succeeded in
opening vent With his snowshoe
poll large enough to let the pent up
foods pass away, but be succeeded
and was saved. It was a fearful ex-
perience and 4 narrow escape, and
we heartily congratulate Alec on
the fortunate issue of his peril.

CHARLES MULLER, the boy MUIR
derer Of Wyoming. it seems, will
have to expiate his crime on the
scaffold, Governor Barber having
refused 10 commute his sentence.
The execution will take place on
April 22d. The double deed ofcrime
perpetrated by this young hoodlum
was enough to curdle the blood OF
civilization, but while the world
will not admit it. there are mitigat-
ing circumstances in his case that
might very we'll have caused an en-
lightened court to pause before
inaicting tho extreme sentence Of
the law upon the young offender.
He was "a outcast from infancy !;
his father committed suicide; dur.
ing all Of the brief fifteen years Of
his existence, out Of jail, he had been
the victim Of neglect; he had never
had an hours moral training; no
human being had taken interest
enough in him to tell him this was
right or that wrong; = civilized
home had never sheltered him !;
wherever he went he had been made
to feel that he was an intruder and
unwelcome; he received harsh
words, threats and cuffs in lieu of
education, kindness and good coun-
sells. He was a motherless and
friendless waif-a thing neglected
and despised. Such a life brought
forth it's legitimate fruit, and when
it had ripened into q most horrible
double murder, the virtuous state
which had hitherto ignored his ex-
istence, and even set traps for his
unwary feet, put forth its mailed
hand to seize and destroy him.
And his destruction was necessary
for the safety Of others more fortu-
nate than be, and it may be justice
but we do not believe it. We be-
lieve the state to have a right to
take his life should FIRST have guar
anteed to him an opportunity to
make that life what it should have
been, and what under proper cir
cumstances, and with proper care
and training it probably would have
been. We believe the blood Of his
victims as we'll as his own is on the
escutcheon of that society which
wantonly and wickedly trampled
his childhood under it's feet.

AT the conclusion of the Cassia
county term of the district court,
Judge Stockslager- rendered decis-
ions in four water cases Of unusual
importance TO irrigators. Over five
hundred persons were interested in
the different suits which involved
the right to the use of the water of
Marsh and Goose creeks and their
tributaries, and one of our exchanges
in speaking of it says not one kick
has. been made. creditable, surely,
to the law-abiding spirit of the peo-
pie of the localities concerned, and
to the learning and high standing
Of the Judge. The decisions con-
firmed the doctrine, says dispatch,
of FIRST in time first in right"
which is but an affirmation of the
old common law doctrine as We UNI
derstand it, which seems to be the
law Of Idaho governing water own
ership. But like many more of our
laws, which are largely derived from
feudal Europe. it is out of date. It
is not applicable to land nor an
era wherein farming is dependent
for it's success on irrigation, and
will sooner or later have to be
changed to meet the requirements
of this more modern, practical and
civilized age. In irrigating coun-
tries the popular saying that water
and air are two elements that can
not be monopolized, must have
practical application and coming
legislators must so legislate that the
right to employ the water of the
land shall be inseparable from the
right TO employ the land, and it
must be supplied at the minimum
of cost, if irrigation is to benefit
the tiller of the irrigated soil. For
whenever the water becomes the
property Of the few, that few may
impose upon the irrigator such tax
for its use as their avarice shall
dictate, and the farmer dependent
upon irrigation, is at once and hope
leesly enslaved. This is not crit
icis,n but . statement Of principle.
Judge Stockelager also held that
the rights Of bona fide purchasers
Of water rights established before
the lands were surveyed, were en-
titled to all rights acquired by their
predecessors, even though their
deeds of conveyance were defective.
In the Goose creek case it was held
that an appropriation of water
could convey his right to the use
thereof, and that the purchaser
could use the water so acquired
upon other lands than those upon
which said water was formerly
used" both sensible and sound.

Recitation

LAST Friday evening the readers
Of the Chautauqua Course held
their last meeting together for the
season, at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
F. X. Gillette. The evening was
devoted to readings from the wierd
writings of Hawthorn, who more
than any other native writer. has
long and early in his career been
recognized by the few, at home and
abroad, az a classic in American
prose letters. Almost repulsive to
unimaginative minds, partly from
the GOODNESS of his style and partly
because his subject is sin and its
remorse, he never has been appre-
ciated or welcomed by the average
mind Of his own countrymen. And
it is probably we'll that it is so. The
winters work on American history
and litersture by the members Of
the club has added to their knowl-
edge and appreciation Of what it 10
to have inherited American citizen
ship with it's grave responsibilities
and great privileges. A MEMBER.

PUBLIC SCHOOL IxHIB1rIoN.
The Pupils Win : Decidedly Fiat
tering Success.

An unusually large ana Ooll&0teO
concourse Of people greeted Miss
Valeria Dollarhide, the accom-
plished teacher Of ketchum's pub
lie school. and her pupils on the
occasion Of the exhibition last Mon
day night. The exercises comprised
songs, cantatas, comedies, burlesque
tragedies, Rotations, declarations,
dialogues, ETC., and TO the surprise
no doubt of all present, the children
one and all, big and little, acquitted
themselves with q degree Of credit
that must have been source Of
pride and satisfaction to every
parent whose children participated
in the evenings performances. It
is neither exaggeration nor fattery
to say that q surprisingly large
number of the young people gave
evidence Of the possession of histri-
onic talent that opportunity and
training would easily develop into
a valuable possession. Of course q
fair share Of this success is due to
the capable and patient training to
which their talented teacher had
submitted them preparatory to the
ordeal, and will doubtless be &C.
accorded her by all; but this de-
tracts nothing from the honor due
her pupils, because, had they lacked
in native aptness and capacity no
amount of training could have sup
piled the defect. They had the talent
and their training had brought it out
to the best advantage; and the re-
suit was most creditable to all con-
cerned. We have never seen the ex-
hibition excelled in interest and per-
lection of performance anywhere.
Messrs. Goehring & Runyan, with
their usual liberality in such mat
ters, donated the use of the hail for
the exhibition. The Ketchum or
chestra, composed of Messrs. AL
Cluer, II. C. and Geo. J. Lewis, +. G.
Messerly and Miss Katie Messerly,
assisted by Mrs. C. NJ. Stole, fur
nished the music, which was truly
superb, without charge, making it
possible to give the exhibition with
out charging an admission fee, and
almost the entire town was present,
and a most delighted assemblage
is seldom seen. Following is the
