WAsHINGTON, ID. c., October 3.
| There is considerable discu sion
here over the fact that the pluto.
cratic press of the country is es-
pGclalIy cnamored of the remark
made by Gov. Durbin, of Indiana,
the other day, that the man who
violently aSsails, by word or deed
the laws of the country such us
ours commits n crime not only of
infamy but Of insanity.
The opinion exists that the above
comes with rather poor giace from
Gov. Dmbin, who has refused to
honor the rcquisitlOn of the State
of Kentucky for one of the men
accused Of the murder of Gov.
Goebel, when the law aud the con

ma and the republican leaders in
Ohio. To all such the law of their
own making is too sacred to be

only echoes the cry of the trusts

cases, have paid for the unright-

Looking for Light

If we would gain light either on
the theory or practice of religion,
we must sincerely desire the light.
We must use the light we already
have. We must patiently seek
light in the double way of prayer
and rational inquiry. Never, as
long as the world stands, will any
religiously benighted soul thus pa
tiently desire and pray and labor
for the break Of day without at
last seeing the eyelids of the morn
unsealed and the painfully dusky
east gradually redden into the sun.

HEIFER RUNS AMUCK.
Tears Through the Streets, Charges
Women and Girls, Butts Down Men
And Raises Cain Generally

AS George Sebastian was driving
one of the high grade Hereford
COWS from the Doss sale Friday af.
ternoon it was affected by the OPP
pressivc heat and became unman
agcable. Starting at the southwest
corner of the public square, it ran
out past the waterw0rks and thence
over into the south end of town
When near the public school build
ing it chased two little girls, who
escaped by running INTO the school
yard. 1t then turned down the
back street aud met Ed Anderson
who ran into the road and tried to
head il Off. The COW lowered her
head and struck him with the solid
impact of IL battering ram playing
with n stone fence. Continuing
on its mad journey through the
Carter field and down to Columbia
street, it ran up Columbia street
and spying woman in front of the
ltucker building made lunge at
her. The woman screamed and
ran into the doorway and by hug
ging close to the door the cow
missed her as it rushed by. Con-
tinuing up the street it ran two men
behind n telephone pole in front of
the postofllce. 1t then met two
women in front of the court house
and started after them. One es-
capped into the court house yard.
The cow was only few feet away
from the other woman when for
tunately it slipped and fell. Aug
ust Byer, butcher living in Des.
loge, seeing the danger, ran and
caught the COW by the horns and
held it while the woman escaped.
Ropes were procured and the cows
feet tied. Dock Mackley happened
to be standing directly in front of
the animal after it was tied, when
it suddenly lunged and struck him
squarely in the breast, knocking
him down and attempting to gore
him. Willing hands pulled the
animal off before he was seriously
injured. 1t was again tied and
loaded into a wagon and taken to
Dobbins' pasture. Reaching there,
the Wagon was driven into the
field and the COW turned loose.
Getting upon her feet she sent the
crowd scamping to the fences.
