had a telephone put in his house and fro
quently uses it. Another strong point
with him is his alleged memory for tcle

/ over SO many times that the numbers
which he is likely tn use he can spin off in
lively style. But his overwccning conf

He was in Ids Office Il fow days ago and
wanted to Gallup a particular friend No

LAWLESSNESS.

Police Authorities Unable to Check
Offenders.
1t is more than likely that the police
question in this county. which. not
long ago, We'd in interest with the
Spanish American war. will soon pop
up again. II 30, the matter Will come
before the public In a phase altogether
different from any which 1t has hith-
erto been presented. The special grand
jury called for the April term OF the
county court took no action in the way
of returning indictments, but 1T filed
with Judge Lee some very strong rec
concentrations concerning the future
conduct of the rural police force and
the enforcement of the law. At the
same time parties who have been con-
spicuous as offenders during the past
six months were warned that a repe-
tition of their misbehavtor would in
woke the severest punishment provided
by the State.
Whether the policemen were to
blame for the lax manner in which the
law was carried out prior to the sit
ting Of the April grand Jury is not a
| subject for consideration at present.
But 1t is q fact, which cannot be sue
cessfully disputed. that they are not
responsible for the violations that
have occurred since that time, and
thereby hangs an interesting tale. 1t
| lis a story which, when written out in
full, Will be found to contain several
chapters Of rich. rare and racy events.
A few examples, by way OF advance
announcement, are sure to be appreci-
ated by the reading public. Here is one
Of them. which shows that. while the
officers have striven to do their part
those who were warned by the grand
jury against further Indulgence in

HON. WILLIAM AlNSLlE.
Gallant Military Record of the Silver
Senatorial Candidate.

The Silver forces OF Kootenai
County selected Hon. William
Ainslie as the standard bearer to
head their legislative ticket, and
they are to be congratulated that
the mantle of leadership fell upon
such worthy shoulders.
" hen the Great Republic needed
defenders in the dark days of COS,
one of the first to respond to the
call of President Abraham Lincoln
was William Ainslie. For four
years he served where the fighting
was hardest and never sought to be
releasted from the service of his
country until after the Grand
Review at Washington when peace
had been restored.
The HERALD knows no better
man to trust in the halls Of legisla
ton than the battle SCARED veteran
who has risked his life in defense
of his country's flag. Such a man
has proved his wortniness by the
severest test that could be eXacted
by his fellow men.
In this connection the record of
Hon. William Ainslie will be of
interest.
William Ainslie enlisted III Aug
ust, 1861, in the 55th O. V. l., at
the age of only la mere boy. In
fact his age was all that prevented
his going to the front with an
earlier regiment, but by the indul-
gence Of the officers the boy volun-
teer was duly enlisted. His regi-
ment was early ordered where the
fighting was the hardest, with the
Patomac, until after Gettysburg, and
was then sent to join Sherman on
his famous march to the sea. Young
Ainslie participated in the battle of
Moorefeld in '62, also in the bat
ties of Franklin and Cross Keyes
under Fremont; crossed over the
Blue Ridge with the Army of Nir-
ginia under Pope; assigned to the
18th Amy corps under Seigel;
participated in. the battles of Cedar
Mountain, Rappahannock, Free
mans Ford and White Sulphur
Springs; helped to cover Pope's re.
treat when it was continuous fight
ing up to the second battle of Bull
Run. In the battle of Bull Run
his company was literally shot t.
; pieces and he himself fell on the
field severely wounded and lay all
night out in the cold, drizzling
rain in an unconscious condition
. and revived only to be captured
and sent to Libby prison. After
five months confinement in tina
horrible pen, he was paroled anC
finally exchanged, and rejoined hi
= regiment just In time to participat,
| in the battle of Charlottesville
where he was again severed,
wounded; followed the Army o
the Potomac to Gettysburg anC
participated in the three day
: fight, where two of his brothers los
their lives on that bloody battle
field. After Gettysburg the lit
and 18th corps, weakened by con
continuous losses in battle, wer
! consolidated and sent to the Yves
: At Bridgeport, Alabama, his tire
years of enlistment having expire
he again enlisted and offered hi
services to his country. He partic

He came to Kootenai County eight
years ago; he invested his all IN
Kootenai Valley property; and,
while his Investments have not
realized as hoped, he has never been
heard to complain. He turned his
attention to mining and now owns
some very promising properties.
Socially, Mr. Ainslie is one of the
most companionable of men. He
moves in the best society and any
attack upon him as a gentleman is
an attack upon the best families Of
Bonner's Ferry, at whose 6resides
he is so often an invited guest, in
Guiding the most prominent repub-
lican families in Bonner's Ferry.
Politically, Mr., Ainslie was a
stalwart republican until two years
ago, when he left the party of
Hanna and trusts and gold and
cast his ballot for William j Bryan.
He is of practical turn of mind
and his good, sound sense will oe
in evidence next winter in the
higher branch of our state leg
islature.
