Santa Re Rents Union Pacific Engines.
The Santa Fe has leased ten engines
from the Union Pacific Some time
ago the Santa Fe placed an order for
number Of new locomotives, but en-
gine builders have been rushed with
work and the locomotives have not
been delivered. In the meantime the
traffic on the railroads has increased
and it has been found necessary TO get
additional motive power at once.
The locomotives which are coming
from the Union Pacific have been
stored for some time at Cheyenne
Wells. Col They are Of the light
eight.wheel type. and are manufactur-
ed by the Baldwin, Brooks and Rhode
Island compapiea. They will go into
service out OF Topeka.

international Sunday school Workers.

At the Territorial Sunday school
convention tc be held at Oklahoma
City, March 1922, 1901, we are to have
the presence Of five international Sun
day School workers. They appear on
the programme at each OF the six seF-
slons Of the convention, and certainly
their addresses, advice and counsel
will beethe most important to every
Sunday school worker in the territory.
Oklahoma is fortunate to have In its
convention these able workers, and it
will perhaps be a long time before so
many will be with us again. All dele
gates will be entertained free at okla
homa City and every county should
have good representation.
Logan county is entitled to 5 dele
gates, and the workers of this coun-
ty, should see that the delegation is
complete. Write to Mr.. A. b. Ham

TRIPLE MURDERER

were William 3. Shanklin, who lived
on a farm near KelSO, COWlitZ county.

aged couple living near Castle Rock.
Shanklin was shot while eating sup
Der some time in November. 1893, and
his body cremated in the house which
was burned to the ground by the
murderer The crime remained mys-
terv for more than a year and not until
after the murder of Cornelius Knapp
and his wife did the authorities get a
cIev to the murderer. The Knapps
were shot while at the supper table,
November IS, 1900, and the fact that
the shots were fired through the
window in the same manner that the
Shanklin murder was committed, lea
the authorities to believe that the
same man had committed all three
murders.

fspecial 70 - HeraIdl

Boise. Ida, Jan. 25.-Ghe senate to-
day for the second time, voted down
the bill by Senator Moody of ShoshOne
county, abridging the powers of the
governor in declaring martial law. The
bill required the governor to call the
legislature in extra session immedi-
ately on issuing a proclamation of
martial law and that in no case should
martial law extend beyond thirty days
on the governors proclamation. The
judiciary committee raised the point
that such an enactment should be IN
constitutional. Moody made a hard
fight to save the measure, but 1t was
indefinitely postponed by viva voce
vote, only two or three voting with
him.
The judiciary committee reported
favOrably the resolution for an initia-
tive and referendum amendment TO the
constitution and the report was
adopted, the Republicans voting soidly
against it.
Among the measures presented was a
memorial faVOring pensions for Indian
war veterans of the north Pacific
coast, a bill reducing the number of
university regents from nine to five,
and a bill to prevent nepOtism in Of

bill carrying $4,000 appropriation for
