ASKED TO EXPLAIN.

CALDWELL IDAHO, March, 1897.
To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners of Canyon County.
Gentlemen:
In your reform movements l note one,
in particular, of some little effect, not
only upon the taxpayers, but upon
some of the working men of this
county. l will ask you, why this
change? Why do you exact of man,
who wishes to bid upon work for this
county, to enclose, with bid, a check to
the amount of 10 per cent of the said
bid? / hear it is done to bar some
particular man from bidding That
sure you it was very effectual, indeed,
as have no bank account. At the
same time can furnish good bond
for the faithful performance of any
contract. Why do you wish to bar any
man? Why this check of 10 per cent
of the bid? Have you gentlemen such
large bank accounts, and, if so long
standing, that yOu can not realize the
fact that the most of us have but little
cash? Do you know that work is bid
higher when the bidder has to put up
his checkp They we'll know there
will be less number of bids for any
job. If you wish reform, why not in
augurate such reform as will reduce ex-
penses instead of increasing them, as
this check business is sure to do. Did
the printers put up a check that their
bids might be considered? Who were
the bidders whose bids wers rejected
on the Parma bridge, and what were
the figures in each bid? l understood
before election that there was one man
running for commissioner, who knew
q good thing when he saw it. l have
never heard of such a crime CD being
placed at the door of either of you
gentlemen. Be on the lookout! Be on
the lookout, gentlemen! A good thing
is a good thing for anyone, and es-
pecially for a new county. Do not
mistake agOod thing for a man, with
a bank account, for q good thing for
the county.
Respectfully Yours,
W. II. SCHENCK.

D. o'MARAs BODY FOUND.

Probably Committed Suicide Was En-.
plOyed At Camp No. / B. N. and o.
Drew His Pay and Went On a Pro
tracted Spree-TOld Baker He intend
ed to Jump Into Tho RlYer-Jury
Says He Died Of Bullet Wound
Last Tuesday the body of D. O'Mara
was found floating down Snake river,
near the mouth of Squaw creek.
Q'Mara had been in the employ of the
Mcdonald Construction Company on
the Boise Nampa and Owyhee railroad.
Last December, according to the testi.
mony of Mr.. Carr, timekeeper, before
the coroner's jury, O'Mara drew his
pay and went on protracted spree.
Early in January he returned to camp
sick and detected. Two of the work
men each gave him two dollars and Mr..
Mcdonald gave him an order to go to
st. AlphonsOn's hospital, Boise. The
next morning O'MaTa started out, but
meeting man named Baker handed
him the "a he had received with the re.
quest that the money be returned to
the parties who had given it. O'MaTa
told baker that he would not need it
as he was tired of life and was going to
jump into Snake river and drown him
self together with his sorrows. Baker
did not take the matter seriously but
reported the facts at the construction
camp. The next day O'Mara was miss.
ing which caused alarm. The men at
the camp put dynamite into the river
at places where it was thought O'Mara
might have jumped in if he had carried
out his threat. But the body was not
found and nothing more was done in the
matter. Not until the body was found
last Tuesday was anything known as
to what became of O'Mara. When dis
covered wound was found between
the eyes just below the forehead re-
sembling a bullet hole, and the cor
oner's jury returned the following
verdict:
I'VE the undersigned find the body to
be that of d. O'Mara, and that he came
to his death by a bullet wound by
hands to this jury unknown. Signed,
A. J. Moses, (fOremanl, j. W. Iollen.
beck, L.. S. Whipple, j. NJ Wilma, p.
Johnson, w. E. SnOdgrass." There was
however some doubt as to whether or
not the death was produced by the
method indicated. DIR. Delano, the
coroner felt satisfied though, after
probing, that there was bullet in the
skull. O'Mara's body was buried on
the banks of the river near where it
was found.

DENVER, Colo, March 4, '97.

Mr.. H. p. Handy, Nampa, Idaho:
SIR: Your letter of February "a,
containing the printed slip dated Feb
ruary Is, addressed to "Mr. Davis,
Caldwell, Idaho" and referring to your
self reached me just now, on my return
from a few days absence from town,
and hasten to reply.
ALI that you state in your letter to
me (Which / return enclosed for your
reference thereto), relating to yourself
which came within my means of
knowledge, | know to be true.
l remember your case very we'll. It
was in 1889, that you voluntarily plead
guilty to a charge of forging a
check for small amount on a gam
bier of this city, while You were under
the influence of liquor; that you came
of your own will to the courthouse and
surrendered yourself to the sheriff, and
that upon your voluntary plea of
the forgery as stated, and the usual
judicial inquiry respecting the truth of
your statements, | sentenced you,
without trial, to Imprisonment for one
year, which was the least time ] could
sentence one for such offsnse under
the statute. l was greatly impressed
at the time, as l think everyone in the
court room was, with your respectable
appearance and honest manner. and
deeply regretted the occasion for SEN
fencing you at all, but which was
technically necessary upon your plea.
signed the petition for your pardon
which was granted by Governor Job
Cooper, and learned of your exem-
plary conduct, both during the short
period of your confinement and after
wards while you were honorably EN-
ployed in this state.
regret exceedingly that you should
be now made the object of so mean
and cowardly a persecution as is sought
by the covert insinuatiOns published
anonymously in tho printed slip you
enclosed me in your letter.
In life of no little experience and
observation, after twenty five years of
legal practice and eighteen years on
the bench, it is my deliberate judgment
that anyone who attacks another
anonymously is sneak; and that any
one who seeks to injure another that is
trying to repair former fault by a sub
sequent blameless life deserves the
scorn and contempt of all mankind.
You were slightly in error in desig.
mating the court over which presided
at the time mentioned. Instead of the
Superior Court of Denver" which was
a civil court, it was the Criminal Court
of this county. l had previously
served for nearly nine years on the
bench of the Supreme Court of this
state, and | have now been nearly six
years on the bench of the United
States Court of Private Land Claims.
ReprettiHQ the occasion for yOur
fTnsting thst Won NAV outiiye the
petty attempts to injure the good
character gou have so well striven to
build up, have the honor to be very
truly, WILBUR f. STONE.

sElF-zxPLANAToRY
Mr.. H. P. Handy Submits the Plain
.Facts-NO Comments.

EDITOR TRIBUNE.--Dear Sir In
reply to the letter published in your
issue of February 20, 1897, referring to
me personally, hand you herewith
two letters of recent date, one from
Judge Stone, of the United States
Court of Claims and one from Mr..
Caypless, of the law firm of Brown s.
Caypless, of Denver. The letters ex
plain themselves and give the facts re
latiDg to that part of my life referred
to by your correspondent. My family
and relatives who are by far the great
est sufferers from your correspondents
letter wish the public to know the
facts without comment. The uncon-
ditional pardon (Which you have read,
granted by Governor Cooper a few
months after Judge Stones sentence
was unsolicited by myself, and was
granted on the petition of Hon.
Willard Teller, Lieutenant Governor
