"What, with stealing of all kinds
of property, and cattle thieves thick
ly scattered over the county, and
the violation of contracts, and law,
by some of our officers, pretty fine
state of affairs is endured by the
people, We pay nearly 5 per cent of
the value of our property for pro
lection, and do we get it? No. and
l tell you that some telegraph poles
and trees, will be ornamented with
these thieves" said a farmer and
stockman to the editor of this paper,
this week. "And if our courts and
officers cannot stop it, or protect us,
we will protect ourselves" This
Was said on learning of the arrest of
Chef Hardesty, and the failure of
the grand jury to indiot other par
ties for stealing. Idaho county needs
RENOVATlNG, needs it bad, the
whipping post should be called in
to requisition, and all those who de-
fault in their duty to the people,
given dose, If the law should take
Its course, the population OF this
county would De decreased conside-
rably."
Let the good work of ferreting out
and applying the law, GOO It's a
pretty pass, when Il farmer or cattle
man cannot be safe, for an hour, in
his possessions, cannot turn steer
In his pasture overnight without
great risk OF losing it, and as stock
man has just said, 'some of these
fellows will have a rope neck-tie if
they are caught at their stealing, we
are tired of the slow and very inn
perfect course of the law, and we
know positive cure, and we are 60
ing to apply the remedy on the first

CROOKED WORE,

At the last session Of the board of
county commissioners they allowed
bill for job printing to the "old
unreliable" in the sum of $64.50,
which was not only a direct viola
ton of their contract with the pub
lie printer, and contrary to law, but
was more than double the contract
price. The bid of the public print
er is on file in the recorders Office
and can be seen by any taxpayer or
voter OF this county who choose to
look Up this matter When the pub
lie printer appealed from the COM
missioners, to the district conrt,
every obstacle was thrown in his
way to prevent the matter being
heard by the district Judge. The
clerk of the court (Talkington, re-
fusing to issue papers even when fees
were rendered, and the papers in the
case were only forthcoming when it
was known that Judge Piper would
order them.
This is only one of the little in
stances where the "Ring" try to ex-
hibit their power, and defiance of the
people, and of law. The cold (un)
reliable" is rotten to the core, and
so is the "Ring," and they are de-
TRIMMED to dominate over the peo-
pile and trample their rights.
The ''whited sepulchre"called the
free press is the complete tool of the
Ring and under the guise Of serve
ing the peoples interests, is aiding
in looting the public treasury, as is
evidenced in this last deal between
the manipulation of the waning for
tunes of the "(un) reliable" and the
sonservators(?) Of the peoples in
terests commissioners.
1t is high time that the people be-
gan to take an active interest in
these matters, as it seems that many
things are ripe, and going to seed,
to produce another crop. 1t now
devolves upon the voters to say if
these things shall continue to exist
and thrive, Incubus like, upon the
people. What do you say? Come
to the meeting on the 18th inst. and
talk it over.

GAVE THE OFFICERS A rUssLE
An Insane Woman Who Took a Fall Out
of Policeman Robbins

A complaint was sworn to last evening
by William uMrray charging Jane Doe
with being an insane person and danger
Gus to be at large, having recently been
patient at Highland. The police pa
troll wagon was accordingly sent down to
the rear of 1863 Hewitt street, where the
woman lives with her mother, Mrs. Pi-
lar Wilson.
Officer Robbins and Deputy Constable
Mugnemi accompanied the wagon and
went around to the house to make the
arrest. They found their victim at
home and Robbins stepped into the
room, telling her to make herself ready
to accompany him to the station. Mug
nemi stayed outside, but in a moment or
two was huriredly summoned by series
of yells from Robbins, and upon burst
ing into the room found that worthy on
the floor and woman sitting on his neck
With great difficulty the two men sue

THEY GET OFF EASY
Three Youths Arrested for Burglary
Plead Guilty to Petty Larceny

On motion of Deputy District Attor-
ney James the burglary complaint
against c. N. Davis, William Curley and
Banks Lineberry was yesterday morn
ing dismissed before Justice Morrison.
The three young men were arrested about
week ago by the police detectives, ac-
cused of breaking into a cigar store on
North Main street and making off with
a quantity of goods. AS there was some
doubt about whether or not a burglary
charge could be made to stick and as the
defendants expressed Willingness to
plead guilty to petty larceny, the felony
charge was quaShed.
All three then entered pleas of guilty
to petty theft and were remanded to ap-
pear for sentence this afternoon. The
attorney for the defendants made a
strong plea for Lineberry, who, he said,
came of good parents. AS it was the
boys first offense he asked the court to
be as lenient as possible. He was ready
for immediate sentence, but the court
saw fit to postpone it until today.

The most interesting day of the ex-
hibit will probably be that of the baby
show, which will be next Tuesday, the
26th inst. One of the prizes offered will
not be called for, that for the homeliest
baby. 1t is plainly evident that no wo-
man was a member of the baby show
committee, and that the suggestion was
made by crusty old bachelor. A prize
for the homelest baby, indeed. There
never was homely baby and there
never will be one. The finest collection
of babies and the handsomest in the
world will be on exhibition next Tues
day in Los Angeles under the manage
ment of Mrs. d. G. Stephens.

The management of the Home Pro-

Yesterday was the day set aside for

This is the appointed day for voting

Within the last day or two those who
are opposed to the measure have been
urgent in their attempts to discredit it

classes, well knowing that the laboring
man, as a rule, has not so much time at

tions Of the most choice variety.
SOME LIES PINNED DOWN
"The new charter concentrates almost
absolute power in the hands of the
mayor" says the circular
1t does not. For any evil purpose the
mayors hands are absolutely tied.
Placing such absolute power in the
hands of the mayor opens the door to
gigantic frauds and endless jobbery."
continues this unique document.
The mayor not having absolute power.
the endless jobbery" referred to can
not result. Furthermore, all appoint
ments, save the heads of departments
will be made under civilservice rules.
Those positions have always been the
rewards given to the "jobbers," and the
very fountain head of jobbery will
therefore be purged.
1t makes the mayor an autocrat and
all the officials his puppets"
The highest and purest form of gov
ernment that writers have been a bic To
conceive Of has been that of a s'bene-
ficent despotism." Under the new char
ter the mayor may be an "autocrat"
along benef1cent lines. but an unwise
act at once subjects him to challenge ~
the council not to mention the pressure
- public opinion.
