CASEY
 MAY BE FREE
ATTORNEYS AT WORK IN TUCSON TO SECURE HIS RELEASE.
 IS ABLE TO GIVE BOND.

Alexander Casey, who shot up the Willard Hotel. and was thrown into jail, weighed down with a stiff seu- tence for discharging a gun in pub. lie place, and with heavy bonds for graver offenses, may yet bc a free man. Casey was at first sentenced to serve six months in jail, but Judge Richey changed this decision on ap- plication of Judge Blenman, counsel for Casey, giving the defendant thirty served, and fining him $250, which he immediately paid. On application ot Casey's wife, who afterwards commit ted suicide, he had been placed under a s3.5OO peace bond, which Judge Davis reduced to $1,5OO, and which Casey immediately gave, with J. Kuox Corbett and H. D. Corbett as sure- ties. Casey had Inen placed under $IO,OOO bo-d on the charge of assault with intent to murder. which was re- duced to s2,5OO, and under bond cf s2,500 for assault with a deadly weap- on, which was reduced to $1,00o by Judge Davis. J. Knox Corbe.t and H. D. Corbett went his bonds in both of these cases. and they have been sent to Judge Davis at Yuma for ap- proval. When the bonds are approv- ed Sheriff Murphy will undoubtedly refuse to release Casey, questioning the right of Judge Richey to change his judgment. The sheriff will take this action in order to get a decision on the point. Casey's counsel will immediately apply for a third writ of habeaus corpus. and in case the action of Judge Richey in changing his judgment is sustained, Casey will be free man once more, but hardly dangerous as before. since the term in jail has undoubtedly proven a se- were lesson. The two assault cases against him will be presented to the next grand jury. which meets in April

 The sport is well worth seeing. The contest opens again this evening at S:30.
 Tonight. as stated, it will be the Irish against the Bisbees, and the Slavs against the Swedes. Should the Bisbees defeat the Irish. and the Swedes outpull the Slavs, then it will be a tie all around. If the Irish and Slavs win. then it will be a hot pull between these two teams
 Last night the Annex was jammed with the friends of the contestants. and bet of $1O0 that the Irish would win was snapped up in minute. An other bet of $50 was made that the Swedes outpull the Slavs. No event in Bisbee has caused so much betting and excitement as this tug of war.
 The arrangements at the Opera House are such that every person can see. and band furnishes music between pulls. There will be an immense throng there tonight. It has been stated that the Slavs have had practice. but they have not been or the cleats at all.

IT WAS A MOST
 EXCITING CONTEST
THE OPERA HOUSE WAS FILLED WITH ENTHUSIASTIC AD-
 MIRERS.
The "Weafers ot the Green" Win First Heat From SWedes-Slavs Beat .he Bisbees-There Will Be Another Hot Time of 1t Tonight. Money Galore Changing Hands.

There was an exhibition Of brawn and endurance. with skill and science in equal proportions, witnessed at the Opera House last evening. The event was the initial contest of the Tug of War tournament which is to continue at the Opera House for three more nights. and with each succeed ing night the interest and enthusiasm
 bids fair to increase.
 Last night it was the SweGes ys. the Irish, and the Irish won Then the Bisbee team settled down to the test with the Slavonians, and the Slavs won.
 Tonight the teams will be the Irish vs. the Bisbees, and the Slavs against the Swedes, and the team with the best record at the end of the tou1la- ment wins first money, which is purse of s250O0.
 The sport is one of the cleanest and most interesting ever witnessed by a Bisbee audience. A number of la- dies were present on the stage last evening. and thoroughly enjoyed tha sport.
 Between three and four hundred people cheered their favorites last evening. and during the first contest the sympathy of the crowd was about evenly divided. The Irish team march. ed down the platform to the tune of Wearing of the Green. The Swedes slipped quietly into their places with determination written all over their countenances. The Irish boys were all husky lads, and as they adjusted the rope they were quickly the favor | ties with the sporting fraternity. Att the tap of the gong by Referee Tom Devine. the big rope cracked and groaned, and the tournament was on. l Mir. Cassidy and MT. Okerstrom were the judges. and the Irish coach was i Harry Jennings, while Charlie Brick. | son was busy putting ginger into the | Swedes on the other side. For the hrst thirty minutes it was nip and tuck, with no advantage. During the next thirty minutes the boys with the ! light hair gained a little. and at the | expiration of one hour and twenty minutes had eighteen inches of the rope belonging to the Irish on their side of the line, and Hansen. the big Swede anchor, announced that he would be in that position when the call came for breakfast.
 The Irish and the Swede teams were explained by Hannon and Beck man respectively, and to the uniniti- ated this is an important position
 At the end of one hour and twenty minutes the Irish boys settled down to business. They responded to I. every call of their captain, and with superhuman efforts, cleat by cleat, they pulled away from the Swedes, when, at the expiration of one hour and forty-five minutes, the last cleat was gained and the Irish had won the first contest.
 The next event was the Bisbee team against the Slavonians. and as com pared to the first contest the Slavon- Ians won in walk. Their pulling time was exactly twenty minutes.
 The teams are a husky lot of men all around. and when the Irish meet the Slavs, then will surely come the .ug of war.
 The teams last evening were as fol. ows:

If everything moves along at the

he necessity in this valley before
another year. In fact if such a
plant was IN operation here at the
present time, we believe enough ore
could be had in the valley to keep it
going steadily. A smelter would
also help develop many prospects
that cannot now be touched owing
to transportation charges. Bear
Lake valley is an ideal place for a
reduction plant, too. We have the
coal close by, good water power,
plentysof lead. lime and other neces-
sary things used by smelters. The
only thing lacking is a man or COM
pany that has the money and nerve
to try the experiment. Only small

The Democrats in Congress, after a
lengthy caucus, have concluded that if
the present treaty with Cuba will be SO
modified as to protect the interests of
the sugar trust they will vote for it's
ratification 1t is too apparent that
consistency will find no home in the
democratic party.-Pocatello Tribune.
All of which shows that it is just
as easy and natural for q republican
paper to lie as it is for any body else,
when trey think it is necessary to
help the party out of a "box." The
democrats want the treaty amended
SO that the sugar trust won't have
the power to crush out the beet SUI
gar industry. AS long as both can
make sugar, there is some chance
for the consumer to csclpe an a :
solute monopoly.

some things that we ought to e
thankful for. Here are few that
it seems hard to be grateful for:
The SO cent raise IN coal.
The failure to get water system
the past year.
The, failure OF the live stock mar.
ket to raise prices.
The ever present gossip and truth
twister.
The failure Of those who owe the
printer to pay their bills, SO he can

The apparent partial failure of the
"banana" crop the last year.
The republican successes in Ohio.
Pennsylvania and few other places.

been the rule in the past, and if the
members of the church will take 1t
on themselves to put an end to ALL
this ''inhuence," any attempt to a.
lign the people on church lines must
fail. THIS county is as much inter
ested in this question as any, but
we believe no one here has asked
for such a campaign, and they will
not ask for it, unless things go
back to the old methods used in
this county few years back. If
those old time dictations are again
resorted to there might then be a
justification for an antl-Mormon
fight. The tendencies, however,
are in the opposite direction, as was
witnessed III the last campaign,
though 1t was not wholly free in
this respect.
We believe Senator Dubois is
m king mistake, if his friends
quote him correctly, in stirring up
this matter. The present circum-
stances do not justify such fight.

What's ailing the Capital News?
Does it want all the arid lands in
the state turned over to the big ca
nal companies? If it does it's on
the right track. If it doesn't, it
ought to state why it opposes Gov.
Morrlson's efforts to protect aud
save the public domain of Idaho for
actual settlers. The Examiner isn't
so small that itwon;t give political
opponent credit, when he does any.
thing worthy of praise. This Gov.
Morrison has done in the Carey land
matter and be is entitled to the
thanks of the people of the state.

MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

Next Thursday Is Thanksgiving
day, and it behooves us to look
around and see what we have to be
thankful for, at least in a material
way, here in Montpelier and Bear
Lake county:
First, we ought to be thankful
for the big crops just harvested in
this valley. 1t insures plenty of
prosperity to the farmers and to
others throughout the county.
Secondly, we ought to be thank
tul that here in Montpelier many
men will be able to, and are earning
good wages at time of year when
there would otherwise be nothing to
do. The expenditure of so much
money at this point this winter will
make times lively for all and next
spring great many people will find
they are ahead little bank account
instead of being in debt for their
winter living.
Thirdly, we ought to be thankful
that such good showing is being
made in the various mining pros
poets throughout Bear Lakes hills.
The indications now are more favor.
able than ever for this county to be-
come a great mining section as we'll
as farming and stockralsing.
FourthlY, we ought to be thank
full that diseases of all kinds have
fallen lightly on us the past year
and deaths have been very few.
Bear Lakes reputation for heaIthtul-
ness has not suffered during 1908.
And lastly, we ought to be thank
full that while untold millions are
suffering from one cause and an
other throughout the world, we
here in Bear Lake are prosperous.
happy and contented.

The people received their tax
cards this week. SO far no one has
been found who notes reduction
over last year, but on the other hand
nearly everyone is complaining that
taxes are much higher so far as the
amount is concerned, and yet the re-
turns shown only an increase of
$40, oou, in assessable property, over
1902. Therefore it cannot be said
that people have more taxes because
they have more property. There
is something wrong somewhere,
sure.

HARDLY UNSUITABLE NOW.

The Examiner often wonders if
Senator Dubois is being correctly
quoted by those who say he Is at
tempting to start Mormon and
anti-Mormon fight in this state.
We hope not, but there is sufficient
''smoke" to justify the assumption
that there is some kind of ssfire''
some place. While politics in this
Scounty, at least, haven't always
been as free from church influence,
exercised by certain leaders, as we
could wish, still it hasn't been of
such magnitude as to justify such
drastic remedies, as Dubois friends
say he proposes. We believe that
future campaigns will see less of
such attempted dictation than has

We don't blame Gov. Morrison
for telegraphlng the secretary of the
interior to hold up all action on the
Carey land matter, until he could
be heard. Those who want the
government to Issue patents to the
state are working in the interests of
big canal companies, and they don't
carea continental for the state. The
governor is right in this instance,
whether he ever was before or not.
Idaho isn't being run for or by the
canal companies.

Except where settled by settlers
in good faith, the government ought
never to deed a foot of the public
domain in this state to any person
or company. and the Idaho law pro-
viding that it should be (Which was
passed for the benefit of the canal
companies) is shame and disgrace
to comm onwealth. Wesay the gov
eminent did right to bring the state
to a standstill until the law is
changed.

We have said it before and we
repeat it again, that If Bear Lake
had fair and equitable assessment
made on the property within it's bor-
ders, the valuation would run over
the $4,000, 600 mark, not counting
the railways. The assessments
made IN this county are absolutely
rotten.

Hattiesburg is getting more free
advertising just at present and
through some of the most prominent
papers of this and other states than
any other city. All the New Orleans
papers of late have had much to say
in its favor and the Birmingham and
Mobile papers have taken up the free
advertisements and placed them in
their papers where they would do the
most good. And these advertisements
are attracting considerable attention.
The secretary of the board of trade is
receiving letters every day from par
ties making enquiries about Hatties-
burg and this section-the price OF
property, the healthfulness, the
natural advantages and the future out
look. OF course these enquiries are
asked with the view Of the parties

James A. Hearn, agricultural agent
of the Northeastern railroad, was in
the city yesterday looking after the
fruit and vegetable interest. He
states that this road authorizes him
to guarantee as quick transit and as
good rates as any other road gives to
truckgrowers along their lines. The
Northeastern has him to devote hi,
entire time to the work of assisting
the growers with his experience in
trucking, how to prepare, plant,
grow, pack, ship and market their
produce. 1t is also his business to
assist settlers in securing lands to
cultivate and will cheerfully render
all assistance possible TO either pur-
chasers or sellers.
