Secretary of State Will H. Gibson,
came over from Boise Saturday on
business and pleasure combined.
Mr.. Gibson is also looking after
his political interests this fall. Mr..
Gibson has made a very capable and
efficient secretary Of state, and will

The old court house CD is being
renovated and reprinted inside.
This is a very good thing from a
sanitary point, but it looks like a
shame and disgrace for a wealthy
county like Fremont to be patching
up and overhauling their old
''shacks.N Looks like we might
be expected TO put up with them
for another ten Years.

Des Moines, July %. = Persistent
rumor about the city to the effect that
a young girl between Ia and 16 years
of age has been foully murdered in
the vicinity Of the army post through
criminal assault of over dozen men,
has resulted in the arrest Of two
young girls by Judge Fritz B. Hinze,
in East Des Moines on petty charges
and evidence obtained from them in
the Judges court tends to confirm the
runor that the dastardly crime of
wholesale assault has been committed
upon the person Of young girl even
if the more startling rumor of the muir
der of her chum, the missing girl,
proves unfounded.
Judge HinZe in an acknowledged di.
rect violation of the law requiring that
the records of the public courts shall
be open to inspection, refuses to &C.
acknowledge and divulge the names of
the parties, giving as his reason that
such public exposure at the present
time would defeat the ends of justice
and make impossible the completion
of case, which he states bids fair at
