THE FIGHT AT BOISE.
Judge Hagan's Views as to the outcome
Of the Senatorial Race.

Spokane, Jan. 12.-Correspondence
Judge Albert Hagan of Occur d Alene |
CITY returned yesterday from Pendle-
ton, where he turned back while on his
way to Boise city on account of seri-
Gus and painful attack of muscular
rheumatism. He was confined to his
room yesterday, and Will return home
this morning unless he Is pronounced
well enough to go into the conflict at the
Idaho capital. Judge Hagan Is an en-
thusiastic supporter of Willis Sweet for
the senatorship.
"Unless money is used In the fight"
he said last night, Sweet Will be elected
to a certainty. 1t Is my opinion now
that. although he has been badly used
by those from whom he had right TO
expect better things, he Will win any
way 1t is by this time about estab-
lished beyond peradventure that ne
told the truth In his open letter to Sen
ator Shoup wherein he related the lat
ter's voluntary withdrawal from the
race The statement itself has been
substantiated by Senator Dubois, who
is clear in his recollection of Mr.. Shoup's
statement that he proposed to leave an
open field.
Sweet has 10 signers to petition for
/ a caucus, and has 90 or "a votes on an
open issue MY suggestion to him
would be to tell Mr.. Shoup, who is now
doing all in his power to prevent a
caucus that he Is willing to go into the
fight in joint convention. He can be
elected, for he is the best silver cham
pion Idaho has. and the people will see
of the fight as 1t has gone up to date
has created great excitement in Latah
and Kootenai counties and in the Coeui
d. Aienes.
II am inclined to think that the &C
count of Sweets breach with Gambl,
of Latah has been somewhat disar
ranged. Mr.. Gamble is under thu
strongest obligations and pledges t.
vote for Sweet. but he has refused t.
sign a caucus call. Sweet is reported
to have told him that he didn't want hi
vote. The fact Is that Mr.. Sweet l
anxious to have the matter settled with
in the lines of his own party. He up
braided Gamble for refusing to vote 70
him in caucus. although under instruc
tions to vote for him in joint conven
ton. The substance of Sweets re
marks to him was: What do l want c
your vote in open convention if tn
matter is settled by the caucus? If
am chosen | won't need 1t. and If
am not it won't do me any good Tha
Is the basis of the stories that have bee
told about the falling out. Doubles

Stowe in Jail.

Last Friday evening, Mr. Hearn, of
Sweet Home, came into Lebanon and
swore out warrent before Justice
Lovelee for the arrest of Attorney A.
F. Stowe. Constable Morgan proceeded
to Albany to arrest Stowe; but, on ar.
rivIng there, found that he had gone
to Salem. Morgan followed him there,
made the arrest, brought him back to
Albany on Sunday, and out here Mon
day morning.
When Mr.. Stowe was brought before
Justice Lovelee, he waived eXamina-
ton and was bound over to appear be-
fore the grand jury in $500 bonds lii
default of which he is now in the
county jail
Facts in the case are about these: Mr..
Hearn placed note in Stoves hands
for collection. Stowe collected the
note, $145, and instead of turning the
money over to Mr.. Hearn, as he should
have done, got on spree and spent it.
Although Mr.. Hearn waited two
weeks on Mr.. Stowe, he could not re-
place the money.
Mr. Stowe arrived in this city four
years ago this last fall and commenced
the practice of law. He is man of
some ability and makes friends when
sober. He has drank more or less
ever since he has been in this city.
He has reformed several times since he
has been here, once taking the Kelley
cure, once joining the Methodist
church and again protesting religion
at the Presbyterian church. He has
an estimable wife and two bright chill
dren. His wife has been forced to
leaye him several times. The last time
was in the fall, when she applied for
a divorce.
Ifreports are true, this is not the first
time Mr.. Stowe has missappropriated
his clients money. fsome one does
not go to his relief, he will more than
preferably get few years to repent in,
at Salem, The people of Lebanon have
been exceedingly kind to Mr.. Stowe
and have aided him in eve.y way to
reform and make successful man of
himself, but these efforts have not been
appreciated by him,
