The Boise Statesman IL max
ing futile efforts to put Gooding
right on the subject of the Two
Mile Limit Law.
It wants Gooding to get the
vote of the ranchers and settlers
whose ranges are being destroy
ed by the ravages of the sheep.
Cooling being a sheep man, no.
body could expect he would go
back on his business and do any
thing to injure it. Still, the
Statesman, labors to convince
the people that if Gooding is
elected he will prove traitor to
the men in that business who
elected him and give the sheep
business the worst of it.
But Gooding's position is per-
fectly consistent. He says he is
in favor of the law as it now
stands. But how does the law
now stand ? Under the present
provisions according to the re-
cent decision of the Supreme
court, bands of sheep can Craze
in passing from one camp to an
other and while taking neces-
sary rest without violating the
provisions of the present law.
This will enable the sheep to eat
the grass right up to the very
doors of the settler and he has
no remedy.
The democrats favor such
amendment of the present law as
will fully and completely pro-
tect the settlers against the raw
ages of the sheep.
Does Mr.. Gooding favor such
a law +? He can well afford to
say he favOrs the law as it now
stands, but the law as it now
stands, under the decision of the
Supreme court, is of no use to
the very class it was designed
to benefit.
What the democrats favor is
an amendment to the present law
that will prevent the damages to
the ranges. In order to secure
his, the people should vote for
democrats for the legislature and
for Heitfeld for governor.

Ten Year Old School Boy Dies From Effects ol

SWANSEA, Nov. 26.-Carl Lucas, the
10-year-old son of Alfred Lucas, who lives
two miles from CASTOR, Lexington county,
is dead as the alleged result of being at
tackled by two young sons of George W.
Sightler. The parents are all white.
The difficulty occurred at the postofice
at CASTOR last Monday afternoon, when,
it is said, young Lucas was severely
beaten by the Sightler boys. The little
fellow went home, but did not tell his
parents what had happened until they
discovered blood on his face. When
questioned closely he admitted that be
had been attacked and beaten by the
Sightle- boys. On examination it was
found taSt he was bruised from kicks on
the side of his head, back, legs and chest
and was suffering from internal injuries.
The little fellow went to school on
Tuesday and Wednesday as usual. When
he came home on Wednesday afternoon
he complained of feeling, badly and med
ical aid was summoned. He grew steadily
worse and died at 1 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The boys are all about the
same age.
