For supreme Judge.


The Idaho Democratic convention
nominated j. c. Elder, of Moscow,
for supreme Judge. Mr.. Elder is a.
modest, unassuming man who may
not be known to the people of the
state generally, but to those who do
not know him, The Star desires to say
that the convention has nominated
the right man.
Sir Elder is au able lawyer and in
that respect ful6ls the first require
ment of the high office for which be
has been named. He is native of
Missouri, where be was born in Scot
land county in 1853, and is graduate
of Ann Arbor law department and
was also an attendant at the Union
Law School Chicago. He mastered
the primary elements of the law be-
fore he took up its active practice,
but he has never ceased to be an earn
est student of this exacting science
until to-day his mind is a veritable
storehouse wherein is accumulated
that which is valuable in the determi-
nation of the complex problems of
the law.
After graduating from Ann Arbor
in 1879, Mr.. Elder came to Idaho and
located at Lewiston in 1880, where he
began the practice of his profession.
He was appointed prosecuting attor-
Fey of Shoshone county and was serv-
ing in that capacity when the rich
silver and lead mines were discovered
there in 1883. There was no attorney
in Shushone county at that time and
the territorial law did not require an
attorney to be resident of the coun-
ty. When Nez Perez county was
divided and the present county of
Latah created, Mr.. Elder located at
Moscow and has been in active prac-
tice during that time. For three
years he served as city attorney of
Moscow, and always with honor and
credit.
Here in Moscow where Mr. Elder is
known intimately to his neighboEs
and friends, he stands pre-eminent not
only as a lawyer but as a citizen.
While he possesses the ability to ac
quire largely. and the talent of using
well in the line of the profession, he
possesses also those virtues which
adorn the citizen in the walks of pri-
vate life. His character is unsullied
and his honor untarnished. No man
ever speaks ill of James c. Elder;
and if the people of the whole state
knew him as the people of this county
know him, his path to the supreme
bench would be practically unimped-

M'GARRAHAN IS DEAD.
The Famous Claimant Will Ap-
peal No More to Congress.
Thirty.six Years He Fought for What
the Courts Said Was His.
Opposed by q shrewd Corporation
That "Squatted" on His Lands.
tBy Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON. April 24.-Wil.iam Nc
Garrahan. the celebrated claimant to the
New Idria mine, died at Providence
Hospital at ll.E A.. NJ. to-day. He had
been a familiar figure at the Capitol for
years, and was w~ell-known to the Sena-
tors n members, a majority OF whom
were believers in the Justice OF his
calm.
william McGarrahan had spent thir-
ty-six years and a fortune In the prose-
cution OF his claim to a rich tract of
mineral land In California, known as
the Panoche Grande Ranch. The tract
had been five times legally declared his
own. yet he died an old and poor pa
had he possessed what he fought for he
would have been among the wealthiest
mine owners in the country.
He never once lost his nerve. or his
hope In all the long struggle. His case
gress.
During, all his weary years Of litiga-
ton and p%etitioning McGarrahan was
nominally arraigned against the United
States Government. That Is to say, II
the title to the Panoche Grande did not
vest in him, as he claimed, it did vest
in the United States.
Yet 1t has not been the United States
who really opposed him. The United
States courts three time affirmed his
tltle 10 tne la1u, CONGRESSIONAL lnVestl-
eating committees declared in his favor,
and various officials of high degree h
passed upon his claim expressed them
selves as perfectly satisfied with the
clearness of his title.
His real opponent was a private cor
poration known as the New Idria Min
II & Company, which squatted upon his
land shortly after he purchased 1t and
has eve since been making norm
profits out of the rich deposits Of quick
silver found beneath Its rocky surface.
At every turn the well paid lawyers
and agents Of the New Idria appeared
to combat him. and though he repeatedly
won and rewon his title, n war of tech
nicality was waged upon him. and legal
difficulties turned up at every step. cum
ningly devised. so as to block him and
send him again n again to the courts
and to Congress for help.
A Congress Committee called attention
to the fact that at several points in the
controversy. where Mr.. McGarrahan had
apparently nothing to do but take
possession of his own 1t would be found
that some necessary pdhlic record had
been surreptitiously mutilated, so as to
throw the matter back again INTO the
courts.
McGarrahan was one OF the original
forty-niners. He was never married.

tition Of Augusta Weber. OF Elizabeth,
for a divorce and alimony from her hus-
band, William. which was heard before
Nice-Chancellor Van Fleet this morn
ing. she stated that she had been
starved for the past four months.
Mrs. Weber says that her husband

of the provisions for the house. She al
leges that he kept all of the food locked
up in the cellar, n only tool the food
out so that he and the children could be
fed, but refused to give her any.
Once she succeeded in getting into the
cellar, she continues. and her husband
beat and kicked her so hat she has
been sick ever since. She further says
that since they were married in 1872 her
husband has not purchased her a single
article of clothing. making her secure
all of her clothes from neighbors.
She charges that last July the hus-
band kicked her out of the house, and
that on March 10 he choked her.
Weber, In his answer, alleges that the
first difference was caused by his moth
er-in-law, and says hat the pictures his
wife has hung on the walls of the house
are such as to corrupt the morals of
their children.
