HORRIBLE MURDER ON WOOD RIVER
An Old Man Butchered for his Money-Suppose
to have been done by Tenant.

On Wednesday evening the news was
brought by the passengers on the Branch
train of a most brutal murder which hap
pened about ten miles this side of Bel
ievue on Tuesday evening last. S. r..
Randolph, an old man, who lived on a
ranch by himself, was found Wednes-
day morning by S. A. StolswOrth, a
tenant who lived on the ranch with his
family, lying in bed dead with his head
beaten in with the butt end of on axe.
An alarm was given to a neighbor who
went to Bellevue for the coroner ana
sheriff.
The coroner's inquest was completed
Wednesday evening at the farm, the
Jury returning a verdict that the de-
ceased met his death by the hand of
persons unknown.
Several of the jurors strongly sus-
pected StolswOrth and wife, and, as a
consequence, the sheriff placed the lat
ter under arrest.
The evidence shows that the bloody
axe handle was washed during the
time intervening between the departure
| of the neighbOr for the county officials
and his return; also other minor cir
| cumstances.
The cabin presented most horrible
sight The bed, floor and walls were
literally covered with brains and blood
| The body was lying in bed, covered, in
a natural position. The assassin must
have dealt the first blow while the vic
tim was asleep, causing instant death
Mr.. Randolph was a native of New
York, aged rs. He leaves one brother
and two sisters in California and New
Jersey. He was highly respected.
It is reported. that he sold severa
head of cattle lately and had some
money laid away. There is no doub
/ as to the object of the murderer, as hi
trunk was rifled, but the amount sc
cured cannot be learned. IS hOshon

Some Republicans are dissatisfied
with the result of the Payette commit
tee meeting. Some men growl at being
hug.
The last meeting of the Cultus Club
was grand success and Caldwell peO
pie will look forward with pleasure to
its reopening in the fall. Too much
praise cannot be bestowed on the orig
inatOrs, and the unanimous encourage
ment it received is highly gratifying to
the devOtees of culture and refinement.

Democracy could settle them. But
since Judge Clsrk's speech at Con.

Phases Of the Ohio River.

The Pittsburg Bulletin says: "To
the artist, the silvery, shrunken
Ohio, winding feebIy between green
and everlasting hills, is charming
spectacle worthy of transfer to can
vas and subsequent hanging in a
favored place in the home of pur-
chaser. But to the practical Pitts
burger the swollen, turbid, oil
stained Ohio, careering to the Mis-
sissippi through bleak landscape
of snow sprinkled bills, is sight
far more attractive than any afford
ed in mid summer. For the larger
Ohio bears on its muddy breast the
deep-laden coal-boats whose con-
tents are not more needed by the
cities in the South than the money
the coal represents is needed by
Pittsburg river operators and ship
pers These regard the Ohio as a
most lovable stream, when, after
months of picturesque idleness, it
arises in its might and boasts of
twelve feet If our local artists
wish to make a paintingof the Ohio
which will be salable to coal ship
per or towboat owner, they must
portray the stream with that num-
ber of feet, with the tawny name of
swirling water and a procession of
tow-boats heading for the sunny
South with fleets of coal boats. a
coai-boat, it might be added, is one
that requires ten feet of water to
float it, and is helpless to reach the
lower markets on a stage of water
that will let out coal barge"

A Pioneer Pilot.

CAPTAIN Elisha Barringer, of Mid
dleport, Ohio, aged 79 years, is
most remarkable man in his way.
This pioneer captain and pilot has
been in continuous active service for
nearly "a years, having left Pom
eroy for Cincinnati on his first trip
with the Condor No. 1 and tow in
June 1910, and returned three weeks
ago from trip TO Louisville on the
tow boat Princess. He never has
used glasses and can now read the
finest print with perfect ease. The
darkest night does not deter him,
and his presence of mind has saved
him from many an ugly scrape. His
marine career covers the territory
from Mobile bay to the source of
the Mississippi, the Ohio, the Mis-
souri,, the Alabama, the Tennessee,
and many other rivers tributary to
the great Mississippi basin. BE has
been employed as master or pilot on
at least fifty different boats. and
when captain he usually stood a
watch at the wheel.
