Young Shaw Again on Trial.

Camden. N. J., Oct. 5.-The interest
manifested in the previous trial of
young Eli Shaw, when he was arraign-
ed on the charge of numbering his
grandmother. Mrs. Emma Zane, and
acquitted, was noticeably lacking yes
terday. when Shaw was again placed
on trial for his life in the Camden
court for the mother of his mother
Mrs. Sarah Shaw. Since the acquittal
of Shaw on the charge OF killing his
grandmother the morbid desire of the
throngs who were so persistent in their
attendance at the first trial seems to
have been satisfied. The case now.
evidently. has no elements OF sensation

would have lost anywhere from
$50 to 300 silver votes in Custer
county. Also that the county
straight Republican ticket would
have polled anywhere from % to
rs more votes. The candidates
would not have needed to have
made a campaign at all. You
might just as well have given
them their certificate of election
as soon as they were nominated.
Now who in Custer county are
doing the most to reduce the
monometallism and increase the
gold and silver bimetallism vote
in the State ?

Hon Texas EngsL

The Office of District Judge in
important one to the people in
any district, and we believe that
politics should cut no figure in
this matter, but the voters cast
their votes, irrespective of party
affiliations, for the best men for
this place. In this, the Fourth
District, we have only two nomi-
nees for the position-Texas An
gel, of HALEY, on the Peoples
party ticket, and G. o. Stock
Slayer of the same town, on the
Fusion ticket. Both of which
are good men. We have never
yet resorted to personal abuse of
our opponents, as it a bad meth
cd to say the least, but if we can
show why a ticket on the whole
should or should not receive the
support of the electors, we feel
1t our duty to do so.
A few words in favor of Hon.
Texas Angel, the Peoples party
nominee for Judge of this Dis
trict. at this time would not be
out of place. Now for a month
past, circular letters have been
sent to this county through the
mails, in a lavish manner, detri-
mental to Mr.. Stockslager. The
Fusionists in this county are en-
deavoring to make it appear as
though these circular letters
were the work of Mr.. Angel. We
do not sanction this method of
campaigning. Mr.. Angel while
in Challis a few weeks ago told
us that he knew nothing of the
circular letters and was in no
way responsible for them. Our
people know well that Mr.. An
gel is man of too much honor
to resort to such low methods.
Mr.. Angel is one of the lead
ing jurists of Idaho, and if elect
ed, the people can feel assured
that they have placed a man in
tnlS exauIted position that they
can feel proud of. He is a firm
believer in silver. and was one of
the first leave the gold Republi-
can party on this issue. Mr..
Angel is an old-timer in Idaho
and heavy taxpayer of Custer
county, and with these property
interests. Idaho is his home. He
is not an ofice-seeker, but in his
case the Office sought him-hon-
est, capable and true-such is
the character of this man. We
ask the voters when they go to
the polls next Tuesday to take
these facts into consideration
vote for Hon. Texas Angel.

n Word 20 the Uninrormed.

The Independent party of Gus
ter county has been launched in
the local campaign this year for
the purpose of registering the
disapproval of at least a portion
of the citizens. against the meth
DDS used and adopted by those
in control of the political mach
inery of this county. as applied
to local affairs.
Are there not questions of loc-
al interest ? Are there not poll
cies as applied to county govern
ment that should be submitted to
the voters of the county? Should
not the people have the right to
determine at the polls as to the
person they wish to occupy a
position of public trust {? Have
they not the same right in the
county that they have in the
state or nation ? Should the
voters of Custer county be de-
prived of their franchise, and
transfer the election from the
ballot box to a convention hall.
and thereby place the manage
ment of local or county affairs in
the hands of few wire pullers
and political tricksters, or at
least place public affairs, subject
to their influence, the under-cur-
rent of which is as a rule. if not
always, detrimental to public in
terests ?
These questions were upper
most in the minds of those most
prominent in the independent
movement. To have accepted
the action of the Democratic and
Silver Republican county con-
ventions would have been equal
to answering the foregoing ques-
tions in the affirmative, except
the last. and that in the mega
tive. Either that or the silver
men and women in Custer county
would be forced to vote the gold
bug ticket-forced to vote in fav-
or of principle that under nat
ural conditions cannot find suhi-
cient representation in Custer
county to furnish names enough
to fill a ticket, as it is a we'll
known fact that among the nam
es placed on the gold Republi-
can ticket are some of the most
reliable silver advocates, and
placed there without their
knowledge or consent. The &C.
ton of the Silver Republican
and Democratic conventions fore
ed the voters of this county into
the position of accepting the
conditions herein stated, or else
they must put a new ticket in
the field, or they must as pro-
test refrain from voting at all.
A number of men in this county
believing it to be in the best in
terest of good county govern
ment and in the best interest of
the silver issue of the State, de-
cided to set up an independent
county ticket. Now do the vot-
ers of Custer county believe as
we do -? Will they sustain the
action of those of their fellow
citizens who are laboring to de-
fend the free ballot, popular
government and the rights of
the common people ? We expect
the answer on the 9Th day of
November next.
We believe that men or women
elected TO Office by the people
are or should be but servants of
the people, and that they should
be as near the popular choice as
possible. and we believe that
those who obtain Office through
any other means stand as a
menace to free government.
We therefore denounce those

VINO Tor personal gain, or to
crafty a personal ambition seek
to use the silver or any other
issue as a basis for an excuse tc
ride into Office on "cinche''
ticket as being unworthy of pub
lie trust.
The opposition seem to have
deemed it necessary to make a
personal assault upon the writer
of this in an article in the Mes
sENGER of Oct. 16. They gave
me credit with being "a firm be-
lever in the try, try again sys-
TEN, and when defeated in one
convention 'rustled' another. -
Thank you, gentlemen, for the
compliment. l would feel great
ly fattered did l agree with you
in your reasoning and conclu-
sions, but l refuse to believe that
there is any man. (much less a
common wage-earner), who is
able to weld that amount of in
fiuence in Custer county.
The Clayton convention was
called in response of a popular
demand which was brought to a
head when the Custer, Pahsama-
roi, Snnol and part of the Bon
ANA delegations walked out of
their convention, and thereby
emphasized their disapproval of
the action of that body. And
right here let it be stated that
the majority of men. sitting in
that convention voted against
fusion, from first to last, and
fusion was only accomplished
through the handling of proxey
votes.
Again the article states "a
man who goes into a convention
for a nomination, and is defeat
ed, is in honor bound to support
the successful candidate. That
statement was made with a
malicious intent, and was calcu-
lated to miSguide the uninform-
ed. AT no time was l a candi-
date for nomination on the fusion
ticket. 1 had, with the others
of the boiling delegates, walked
out of the convention before
nominations were in order.
The Custer delegation went to
that convention with the avowed
purpose of putting up a straight
Silver Republican ticket. They
used every legitimate means to
that end. Had they been sue
cessful, l would no doubt have
been a candidate for nomination.
and that is all there is to it. The
rest of the article 1 do not deem
it necessary to occupy space in
answering.
The article Mr.. Marriott re-
fers to appeared in the Silver
Republican column, and was
not writtenby the editor OF this
paper.-ED. M.
Now to the voters of Custer
county l would like to say in be-
half of the Independent move
ment There are no preSiden-
tai electors to be voted for this
year. There is no Senator to be
elected by the State Legislature
this year, now eliminate local is
sues and only place one ticket in
the field, and what is there of
sufficient Importance to arouse
the interest of the voters ? If
you pay no attention to the dis
gruntals who would vote the
gold ticket, or would refrain
from voting at all to show their
disapproval of a one e-ticket-cam-
paign. there still remains the
fact that quite number of our
voters would not take the troub-
lie of even registering. 1t is a
conservative estimate that if the
action of the Challis conventions
had been final. the State ticket

Hon. J. c. Fox while at Boise
City says to Statesman report
er:
Cluster county this year has
enjoyed its share of prosperity
experienced by the State. The
mines have all done well, furn-
ishing splendid markets for the
farmers, who have good crops,
and most if not all of whom, said
Mr.. Fox, were enabled to pay
their debts.
Perhaps one of the biggest
mining operations in Custer
county. said Mr.. Fox, was at the
Lucky Boy at the town of Gus
ter. Mr.. Mccormick, the Salt
Lake banker, is now principal
owner in this property. The
Lucky has had a very prosper
Gus season. the average monthly
net profits being $4,000. The
property is now opened up to a
depth of 400 feet, and there is
ore of very satisfactory char
acter both as to the extent of the
body and richness. The old
Custer and the Dickens proper
ties are beng developed by the
Lucky Boy people. Itis expect
ed the Black mine, which is also
near Custer, will be opened up
for active operations in a short
time. The Black was sold last
year to eastern parties.
''The Dwyer boys have very
promising property on Jordan
creek. The property is bonded
for S60.0 900. 1t is on the same
belt as the Montana and the
Yankee Fork. which have pro-
duced several hundred thousand
dollars. The Jordan creek prop
critics have made such a good
showing that Bonanza. the near
est town, is promised quite
boom in the near future.
