Indians arrested For Gambling.

Deputy Sheriff Frank DeKay sur
prised the public Wednesday afternoon
by arresting number OF Indians for
violating the anti-gambling law, and
lodging them in Jail to await an exami-
nation in Judge Whittier's court to-day,
Saturday.
His action In the matter was gem
eral surprise because the general pub
lie had never considered the Indian in
connection with that law. Everybody
familiar with Indian life knows that
they play at cards among themselves,
bucks and squaws alike, but not with
whites, and that their games have not
been classed generally with those pro-
hibited by the laws of the state. Their
playing is usually public, on blankets
In the shade OF trees or on the shady
side Of a building, and II any white spec
tator In Blackfoot or in Bingham
county fully understands their game he
does not make the facts public.
THE NEWS believes in the enforce
mont Of the laws as they are found on
our statute books, and it believes in the
full discharge OF duty by every officer,
but, in this particular case, we believe
Mr.. DeKay has made mistake in bis
Interpretation OF the law as touching
these people and the mistake will be
made plain 10 him when jury OF
twelve men come 10 pass upon the guilt
or innocence Of these people under the
charge.
II it be good law against the Indians
II win be a dear one to the taxpayers
OF Bingham county. II convicted no
Indian will ever pay his fine, but, mus,
Of necessity, linger for weeks in the
county Jail at the public expense, and
the people know how burdensome their
expenses are, or they will know when
their taxes become due In the fall. We
believe that THE NEWS voices public
sentiment as against this Interpretation
Of the law and we believe further that
the honorable board OF county commits.

About Our Cattle.

}. NJ. Jamison, of Monongalia, has
been buying q great many cattle in
this county and volunteered some in
formation to The journal about the
stock he had found in this county.
Mr.. Jamison says he has found no
better stock anywhere than that he
bought here this season. He men
toned numerous droves of two-year-
Odds that be said he had never seen
the equal in Harrison or any other
county so far as good prime condi-
ton is concerned. Wednesday he
bought seven steers of Clint Bishop,
four of which averaged 1,009 pounds
each. OF Spencer Crane he bought
eleven, four of which averaged ,065
each. 1t is gratifying to know that
Preston county cattle show up so
we'll and Mr.. Jamison was very
frank in his statements and seemed
proud to speak Of the great amount
of number one cattle he had found
here. Jacob Sisler, of Glade Farms
sold four yearlings last week to
Shipley Mitchell for round 800.
1t is the good price that the cattle
bring that makes everyone so happy

Who Is to Blame!

Since the announcement of the next
postmaster at this place has been
made, speculation is rife as TO who
was responsible for the appointment.
Each of the defeated candidates have
received official information that he
could not be appointed and different
reasons are given in each case. Each
of the prominent aspirants have a
number Of letters which would make
interesting reading If published now
and might throw some light on the
situation. A gentleman who has seen
several of the letters received by the
defeated candidates, says that they dc
not agree.
Dayton says that he had nothing
to do with the selections: that he IA
vored Arnett, but was crowded out
by Elkins and had no more to say
about the appointment ethan a poor
boy has at a husking" while Mr.. FL
kins contends that the selection was
compromise: that he favored Powell,
Mr.. Dayton Arnett, and as compro-
mise, Col Fleming was selected.
We expect this is about the truth OF
the matter, but it is sad comment
airy upon the influence of a Congress
man to have it stated that he cannot
control the appointments of the post
masters in his own district, when he
is in accord with the administration.

Games for Halloween.

Any innocent joke perpetrated in q
friendly spirit of mischief, will be
fit Halloween night. The idea of
the olden time centered around the
pairing Of lad and lass, hence the
chestnuts were put before the fire tc
test the future Of those whose name
they bore. If they burned steadily
the courtship would go we'll; if they
popped apart the course of true love
would not run smooth. Hand glasses
with apples beside them, be placed
here and there, so that the modern
Eve may eat her apple and wait fol
Adam to peep over her shoulder.
Greater pleasures will be found in
the games in which all may play.
The tub of water with the floating
apples which must be lifted out by
the teeth alone, and the fork sus.
pended from the ceiling with its
lighted candle on the end, and the
apple from which the bite is to be
taken, at the other, will cause much
merrlment. The search for the ring
in flour is also much enjoyed. The
flour containing the ring is packed
upon large platter. The guests
each cut off slice with knife. and
the one uncovering the ring must
pick it out with his teeth. Lead
melted in large iron spoons, may be
dropped into water and fortunes told
from the shape it assumes. Great
amusement may be had by placing
two hickory nuts about three inches
apart on the hearth in front of an
open fire. One is supposed to repres-
ent the girl who places it there and
the other her as yet undeclared but
mentally chosen lover. Should the
nuts burn brightly happy marriage
will result. Should the nut named
after the man jump towards the nut
named after the girl she may expect
a proposal before the next moon.

And this is the Truth.

A correspondent to the DAILY New
DOMINION a few DAYS ago, commend
ed the Board of Regents of the Uni
versity for going out of the State for
the assistants in the preparatory de-
partment and for other teachers. We
feel like giving the Board loyal
support and commend everything
it does, in the hope that it's efforts
will result in making the University
the school we all want, but we would
dislike to have established as a rule
that our teachers need not apply for
positions there. This in our opinion
would not be fair to our young men
besides it might prove a dangerous
policy. Our teachers are educated
here, they understand our own peo-
pie and by their being employed in
the school they would form a strong
tie between the University and the
people of our own state. Those West
Virginians now in the faculty are as
capable and are giving as good sat
isfaction in their respective places
as any one brought from any other
State could possibly do We do not
think that place should be given
to graduate of the University just
because he is graduate, but should
he give evidence of the required
ability and is in every way equal to
his opponents who are graduates Of
other schools, the West Virginian
should have the preference. And SO
says every graduate of the Universi-
ty and every West Virginian who
thinks upon the subiect.-Inder.

SOME criticism has been passed
on the football team for not defeating
Marietta with larger score than they
did. This is now known to be unjust
for last Saturday Ohio Wesleyan was
only able to score the same number Of
points, 6, against her. When it is
remembered that the former college
played the University of Michigan to
standstill, it will be seen that Mar
ietta is a nut that is very hard to
crack. Michigan has for years been
champion of the west and has de-
feated with ease every team in that
section of the country.
AN exchange very truthfully says
that there are whole lot of fellows
in and about town who could teach
school better than those who are now
our teachers; preach better than those
who are preaching; run store better
than store keeper; plead law better
than all the attorneys in the county;
run newspaper better than the men
who run them. Yes, the woods, the
fields, and towns are full of them,
but none of them ever taught school,
preached, practiced law, run store
or paper and never will. They have
always spent their time in loa fing
around finding fault with other people
and don't know enough to do good,
honest work, and most of them never
will.

University OF holding continuous
sessions in commenting on the Intel
ligencers utterances on the subject

is no need of holding criticism in re-
straint. Aside from being well

TEN has been thoroughly tested in
