VIM. M. Stockton plaintiff, Va. Hardy
Dial and Will Dial, defendants.
State of Idaho, County OF Elmore-ss.
cHAs. E. C0RKER, being duly
sworn, says:
am now and have been for the last
thirteen years a resident ut Glenn's
Ferry, now situate in the county OF
Elmore, State Of Idaho.
That am we'll acquainted with the
parties plaintiff and defendant in this
action and largely acquainted with the
people OF said county.
That i have reason to believe and
do believe that the plaintiff in the
above entitled action can not have a
fair and impartial trial OF the said ac-
ton now pending in this court by
reason OF the bias and prejudice Of the
people OF said county, and partic-
ularly the people OF Mountain Home.
against said plaintiff. and ! state the
following facts in support thereof:
THE people of Mountain Home
and their friends in other parts OF the
county took exception to the course
pursued by the plaintiff in the late
contention for the county seat OF FL
more county, claiming that said course
was injurious TO them.
2-That said plaintiff is the owner
hu rx4 from hn
Of the townsite OF the town OF Glenn's
Ferry, and various persons residing la
said county claim that they have rights
in sand towasite acquired by occupa-
ton prior to the date OF the patent OF
plaintiff and claim the right TO hold
the same in defiance of his patent title.
That this action was brought TO de-
ternine the said question OF right and
to recover certain land occupied by
the defendants prior TO the date of
said title of plainiiir. and that the va
rious parties aud combinations OF per-
sons interested in the defeat al plain
tits title have created widely ex-
tended prejudice and feeling against
plaintiff in said county.
3-Tbat said plaintiff was active in
promoting a wagon road from Rocky
Bar to Glenn's Ferry direct, which
created hostile feeling at Mountain
Home, the people Of said town regard
ing 1t as a project to divert business
from them and therefore hostile TO
their interests.
CHARLES f. CORKER.
Subscribed aud sworn 10 before me
this 3ist day of October, 1893.
w. G. WIcKERsHAM,
Clerk District Court.
The above is q true and exact
copy Of an affidavit made by C. e.
Corker, Republican candidate for
commissioner, and which ia now on
file in the clerks Office at HALEY,
the case having been sent to Alturas
county because Boss Corker swore
that Stockton could not get justice
in Elmore county, Particularly in
Mountain Home.
Mind you, reader, Corker had no
interest in the case, more than in
tense hatred for the people of Min
Home and a desire to stab them in
the dark, and at the same time rem
der his friend Stockton q supposed
service.
After reading the above libel on
our good citizens, is there one self
man in Mountain Home
or all Gilmore county who will de-
liberately 60 to the polls next Tues
day and cast his ballot for G. Il.
Corker for commissioner We trust
not. and that all such voters will,
irrespective of party, support Adm
Hall, a man above reproach and
who would scorn to do low. spite
full act toward the humblest person
in the county.
Boss Corker has often asserted
that he would rather be commits
sioner than governorl And why2
IL there single person in Mountain
Home who cannot divine Corker's
reasons for this assertion? If SO,
we pity that mans stupidity
Vote for Adm Hall, and make no
mistake.
