CRIME OF EARLY DAYS
Brought to Mind at Grangeviile by Dis
eovery Of leadsn Bullet

GRANGEVILLE, March IA small
bullet, battered until it was scarcely
recognized. was discovered last week
in the probate court, and the discus
sion Of how it came there has called
to the attention OF the older residents
the crime for which the only murderer
ever hanged in Idaho county accord
ing to law, was convicted.
Although the leaden missile has lain
in one place for SO long a time. it and
the paper in which it is wrapped is still
stained with the blood of a murder
committed twenty three years ago. The
murder caused profound sensation at
the time. The murderer, after wound
ing his victim. coolly shot him to put
him out of misery, as one would suf-
fering dog or horse, and then argued
in court that he had done humane
act
Theo. Wallick. John Long. and a
man by the name H Savage came to
Idaho together. In 1889, Wallick and
Savage became involved in a quarrel,
and Savage had his leg broken by a
bullet. There. were no witnesses to
the affair. end Wallick was convicted
altogether on his own testimony. He
| related to the jury that he had Grip
pied Savage. and as the victim was 50
far from medical aid, and was suffering
so intensely, he thought the only thing
TO do was to kill him and put him out
of his misery.
| The case was tried before John Bow
err. Judge, and the paper enclosing the
bullet found was marked as an exhibit

PLEASED
WITH ALBERTA
Nez Perez County Farmer Will
Take a Homestead Over
The Border "

James B. Dew of Lapwai was in the
from a trip to the Alberta country and
talked very enthusiastically about the
prospects of that section. Mr.. Dew re-
turned last Saturday from a ten days
visit to the land of promise and is fully
convinced OF the advantages offered
there to the settler.
Seeing is believing said Mr.. Dew,
land l am convinced that the Alberta
country offers fine chance for poor
man to get a home. The section Wis
tied was in southern Alberta, a section
held until recently under lease by the
stockmen but now settling rapidly
with people from the eastern provinces
of Canada and from almost every state
in the union. The country grows wheat,
barley andN oats and in quality equal
to any l have seen in this country. 1t
is great stock country. The native
grass will easily yield a ton of feed to
the acre and the winters are not Sc
we're and the cattle do well on the
range. l saw 4 and 5-year-o old steers
running on the range all winter that
equalled anything we have here"
THE land can be taken under home
stead laws that are very much like the
laws in this country, the main differ
ence being that the law there provides
for proving up in three years. Good
railway land and Hudson Bay land can
be bought for prices ranging from to
8 dollars per acre. There is fine water
to be had for the digging at depths
from Is to 35 feet. The mildness of the
winters can be judged when it is known
that they began blowing there this
spring in the last week in February
and were seeding when l left there last
week.
Mr.. Dew took up homestead and
bought in connection a half section of
railroad lands. He will move his fam
lily there early in the coming summer
as soon as his stock can be transferred.
He brought with him samples OF the
grain raised in the section he visited
and left specimens at The Teller office
if any one interested might want to see
the fruits of the land

II the man who. while asleep, shot
his wife, lived In America. English
readers would be chary about believing
the story, says the Chicago Chronicle.
But as fact precisely similar thing
did happen Is months ago in Baltimore,
where a we'll known man fired a re-
volver at his wife while himself asleep;
then. on being aroused from his trance
by his brother, nearly killed himself
with a second shot. The mystery of
sleep has yet to be solved. Coleridge
composed .Kubla Khan" In dream
and committed 1t to paper on awaken

aleeping hours. AS there is the con-
structive instinct In sleep, so there is
the destructive. 1t Is not so long ago

Elton college. while another youth

termined to take chances on the next
man at bat. A bungling throw on the
part of the catcher when Lazotte at
tempted to steal second, enabled Cole
to reach home and Lazotte to advance
to third. Dunn then landed a long
drive to left field and Lazotte beat
the throw in home and brought in the
last of the five scores that were cred
tied to the home team during the
game, for Quigley, who followed Dunn
to bat. knocked a high fly to left field,
and the agony was ended for the time.
There was absolutely nothing doing
the remaining three innings.
Twice during the afternoons play
were two men caught between bases
at the same time. and in neither in
stance did either man succeed in gain
ing the coveted bag or even getting
back to his starting place. Murray is
the only one that a word might be
said about. He was caught between
first and second and though he made
an effort to gain his play after the IN
dian and Genins had played ping pong
over him a while, they mercifully tag
ged him out. Murray is one of the
cripples on the team and has a very
bad ankle which is much against him
in base running; but at that he is not
er members of the team although their
infirmities are not traceable to sprains.
Carter who has at times in the past
made fairly good showing was wild
as March hare and failed to keep his
head at critical times. Dunn let a hot
drive go through his hands in the last
half of the ninth or the story might
have ended differently. The playing of
the Oklahoma team was about as bad
as it could we'll have been to have not
lost to the Topeka team Two teams
of high school boys could have put up
a better exhibition. The lack of at
tendance at the more recent games
attests the fact that the fans will not
stand for such ball playing always.
Reagan, the new find who comes from
the Hutchinson league, failed to make
good. He brought his little blue paint
ed bat with him but at that he failed
| to make a startling showing, and
though he has four out of the six err
rors charged to him. he may some
time make a ball player, and it is not
| improbable that he may be signed
with the Topeka team. He is only a
now on the Topeka team and might
greatly assist them in their attempt to
! gain the tail cennant. Oklahoma did
about as many stupid stunts as the
| Topeka team but chance favored them
and they were not as expensive Twice
during the game the Oklahomans lost
their temper and as the umpire would
| not stand for the usual work out, they
threw the ball away, just as they did
not SO long ago when they played
| town ball.
| Contrary to expectations a new UNI

/ There was no wrangling, abusive talk

word from Lewinson was sufficient to
