Stewart Talks

An INDEPENDENT reporter inter
viewed Samuel Stewart this morning
in his cell at the county jail. He did
not seem uneasy about the result of his
shooting SwOverland, His own story
regarding the previous trouble that
brought on the shooting is the same as
reported in another column, with the
exception that his trouble with the
Swoverlands didn't go back farther than
the time that his friend Sickmiller was
accused of stealing the clothes. While
he knew yesterday the.old man was very
mad, he did not think he intended TO
shoot him until it was too late for him
to retreat. Young Stewards arm Is
somewhat better, but will give him
great deal Of trouble, and may yet cause
the elbow joint to be Stiffened. The
dirk used by young Swoyerland entered
the front part OF the arm, below the
elbow some five inches, passing through
and the point coming out on the other
sidenear the elbow joint.

The Tragedy.

All the topic of conversation to be
heard today is the shooting affair that
occurred yesterday. Having taken
place at public sale, there are plenty
of eye witnesses to the sad affair. The
reports given do not conflict in the
main features, but only in some minor
points. One thing is dwelt upon by
greater portion of the acquaintances,
that it was the result of feud of long
standing.
A number of our prominent citizens
were personally acquainted with the
deceased, man of quick and uncon-
trOlable temper, and rash in his actions
toward anyone he believed was trying
to injure him in any way. 1t has been
stated by those who transacted busi-
ness for him, that upon many occasions
he has been warned regarding his ag
gresslveness getting him into trouble.
| At the court house this morning,
numerous "reminiscences of his past
| life in connection with lawsuits were
| brought out.

AS stated last night the deceased was
one of bourbon townships most

of worthy citizens is to be regretted
by all. When Mr. Stewart will have
his prelimary examination will probably
be learned some time today.
An examination of the wounds made
were examined yesterday The first
bullet struck SwOyerland near the right
nipple, and another in the back of the
head, and still remain in the body.
The other shot took effect In the back of

Donald's paper ''Political Paradox" but

at the negative admission of fin de

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct 28, 1885,
Secretary Francis to-day, in long let
ter to the Commissioner Of the General
Land Office, directs him TO notify the
officers of the land Office at Blackfoot,
Idaho, that the former decision of the
department on the application Of the
State of Idaho for the segregation OF
certain lands for the benefit of the
American Falls Canal company under
the Cary desert land act, is revoked.
The Secretary also orders that hear
ing be had by the local officers In order
that the points OF difference between
the State and the American Falls Co.
on one side and the Peoples Canal Co.
of Idaho on the other, may be deter
mined, and award be made to the comp
any having the best right to the lands.
II will be recalled that last spring
the Secretary rejected the application
of the State for the segregation of a
number of acres of land for the benefit
of the American Falls company, on the
ground that the land embraced in the
list had already been set aside for the
benefit OF the Peoples Canal company
which had already contructed a canal
on part of the land. Subsequently ths
Commissioner Of the General Land OF
fee rejected second list, on the grount
that il embraced almost all the LAND
contained in the first list On appeal I.
