-BORN:-Iu Challis, Idaho, on Tues
day morning, March LIST, 1904, to the
wife of Earl j. Michael, of Bayhorse,
Idaho, ~ pound daughter Mother
and child are getting along nicely. 1t
is pretty little infant. Earl is with
out doubt the proudest young man in
Custer county, and when his friends
speak about the new daughter that
Il &c hi
smile illuminates Earl's countenance,
ard he quickly responds by saying !:
Have cigar with me on the baby ~
There is no being in the world, :"
says Secretary of the Treasury Shaw,
$50 neglected as the boy. There is no
place, scaut room for him. He is well
come in the home as baby and he is
welcome as a man, but there is scant
welcome for him as boy. We chap
eroue our girls, and not too carefully;
but we leave the boy to choose his as
sociates and environments with much
advice and little guidance. Girls are
naturally winsome, gentle, compau-
ionable, and they win their way to and
are welcome in all homes, but do not
know of many homes where boys are
invited. About the only door that
swings with sure welcome to the boy,
about the only chair that is showed
near the fire, especially for the boy,
about the only place where he is sure
of cordial greeting, is the place
where you do not wish him to 60"
A dispatch from SanFrancisco on
March 3rd, says Amos X. Zeigler, 64
years old, and at one time Probate
Judge of Custer county, Idaho, must
hang for the murder of his wife, Caro-
line Zeigler, at Doyles gulch, Santa
Cruz, which was committed on August
9Th, 1900. The decision of the Supreme
court approving the sentence of death
was handed down yesterday. A pecu'
larity of the case from legal stand
point is the fact that had Zeigler been
satisfied with the sentence first impos
ed he might now be serving term of
life Imprisonment in San Quentin. Not
satisfied with this sentence, and hop
ing that on second trial he coul6
make good his plea of temporary in
sanity, he was granted a new trial
The second jury took less lenient
view of his crime than the first, and
found him guilty of murder in the frs
degree. The judge thereupon sentenc
ed Zeigler to be hanged. 1t is this
verdict and sentence that has beer
confirmed. Zeigler was twice the ag,
of his wife. During quarrel he tool
a butcher knife and cut her throat
Not satisfied that he had killed her, h'
went back second time and severed
her head from her body. The people
of Challis are glad to know that this
inhuman brute will soon meet his jus
reward. We knew Zeigler and til,
young lady, his wife, that he married
They were married in Challis. Th,
young lady's maiden name was Mis-
