THE SOLDIERS HOME.

The following complimentary tribute
of the management of the Soldiers
Home under Commandant J. A. Nc
Ginty is made by the Boise Democrat:
For weeks. and months after the
opening of the Soldiers Home all
sorts of complaints were daily made
by the inmates of mistreatments, ir-
Irregularities, and worse on the part of
the officials in charge. Many charges
made by the veterans found their way
over signatures into the public prints,
and meeting after meeting was held
by the board of trustees who formu-
lated new rules aud called for a more
strict observance of the old ones under
which the institution was supposed to
be governed. The board also finally
changed the management two or three
times and did everything possible to
remove the cause for the scandals.
Whether the divers complaints and
charges made were groundless, the
Democrat cannot say, but they still
prevailed, and until the board ap-
pointed John A. McGinty as super
intendent. 1t must have been an in
spiration on the part of Governor Nc
Connen to suggest him, for a gentle
man better fitted by nature and &C
quirements for the position could not
have been found in the whole country.
Educated, refined and unusually sym.
pathetic he also was gifted with the
enviable faculty of getting on IN per-
feet harmony and amity with man,
kind in general and war veterans in
particular He was further equipped
with the ability got by experience OF
providing economically but unstintedly
for large numbers of men, coupled
with perfect knowledge of accounts
Added to this rare combination was
the invaluable assistance of his good
wife, and their advent into the Soldier:

At about $50 p. m. Allen Hutch
left the saloon and when about 30 or 40
feet from the building was ordered to
throw up his hands, which he did,
and was relieved of So, escorted about
100 yards and forced at the point of
a gun to lie down in fence corner
until 20 minutes later when Carl Hay
den passed by, going toward the sa-
loon, and he also was ordered to throw
up his hands, which he; did, and was
relieved of SIG and compelled to lie
down in the same corner with Hutch,
where the two were held for oyer an
hour, wAsa OrVille Hayden, Dan Hay
den ard Frank Rector came along and
were also ordered to hold up their hands.
Before they had time to comply, two
shots were fired, one taking effect in
the left breast of Orville Hayden. He
and Rector ran, and before Dan Hay
den could realize what was going on,
a revolver was pointed at his head and
he was compelled to give up So, and
told to fly. He ran back to the sa-
loon and found his brother in a dying
condition. The night was so dark
that the men could not give a descrip-
ton of the murderers. One was about
six feet tall and wore a long ulster
or rain coat and derby hat. The other
was a short, stout man, about five
feet seven or eight inches tall.
During the night officers and citizens
secured the country in search of the
murderers and Saturday morning of.
ficers in the surrounding country were
notified to be on the watch for sus
pieious characters, but no trace could
be discovered. A reward of $500 was
offered for the arrest of the guilty
parties. Sunday Sheriff Hunter was

watched la IL no and he left for Far

wHIsKEY 1ns MURDERER

A sad tragedy occurred at Mullen
last Saturday in which James Ryan
lost his life. He was nearly drunk,
being among party of eight or ten
who had drank great deal during the
day, and seeing two of the men about
to engage in a fight he interfered to
prevent it. In the scuffle which fol-
lowed gun dropped out of Ryan's
pocket and Immediately all hands were
busy trying to get the gun to a place
of safety, resulting in its accidental
discharge, the ball entered the owners
body on the right side in the vicinity of
the short ribs and passed clear through,
coming out under the left arm. DR..
MCGEE, of Wallace, was Immediately
summoned and had him brought to the
Holland hospital, where he endeavored
to prolong life, but the wound was
fatal and he died on Sunday night.

walton of food and comforts and the
dissatisfaction of the inmates had
given place to loudest praises for the
new management. The following

administration of affairs at the Home.
And so it was right along every month
until the institution had been con.
Quoted so that on Decoration Day the
old veterans were informed by the
board that it would not be necessary
for them to turn into the state Gas
provided by legislative enactment) all
moneys over the sum Of four dollars
received in pensions.
So well did Mr. MeGinty conduct the
Home that he held several months I'M
der new state administration antagon-
istic to his politics: and though there
were numbers of applicants the board
would not consider any one until they
felt assured that he could come near
keeping the pace set. He might have
continued indefinitely had not the
name of Judge Charles A. Clark been
presented and the belief of the board
that he would make worthy sue
cessor. The change was made and Mr..
McGinty, relieved only because politics
demanded it, retired with highly
complimentary testimonial to himself
and Mrs. McGinty cheerfully and vol
unfairly signed by every inmate of the
Home. He was pleased with the
choice and told the writer he believed
that Mr. Clark would do better than
he had done.
Mr.. Clark has been commandant five
months and from recent inquiries we
were pleased to learn that he is making
a splendid record and will come nearer
keeping the Home up to tho standard
left by his predecessor than any other
man in Idaho. The board is pleased
with him, the old soldier boys like him
and the public are more than satisfied
with his management.
