AGAIN


1.-THE fact was. of course, appreciat-
ed at Kings Pyland, where the Col
onel's training stable is situated. Every
precaution was taken to guard the
favorite The trainer, John Straker,
Is q retired jockey who rode in Colonel
Ross cclcrs before he became too
heavy for the Weighing chair He has
served the Colonel for five years as
toekey and for seven as trainer. and
has always shown himself to be a
jealous and honest servant. Under
him were three lads: for the estab-
lishment was a small one, containing
only four horses in all. One of these
lads sat IN each night in the stable,
while the others slept in the loft All
three bore excellent characters. John
Stralcr who is a married man, lived
In a small villa about two hundred
yards from tho stables. He has no
children, keeps one maid-scrvant and
is comfortably off. The country round
Is very lonely. but about half a mile
to the north there is a small cluster
of villas which has been built by a
TaviStoCk contractor for the use of
lnvalids and others who may wish to
enjoy the pure Dartmoor air. Trav-
lstock itself lies two miles to the west
while across the moor, also about two
miles distant is the largest training
esta blishment of Mapleton, which be-
longs to Lord Blackwater, and is man
aged by Silas Brown. In every other
direction the moor is a complete wild
erness, inha bited only by a few roam
Ing gypsies. Such was the general
situation last Monday night when the
catastrophe occurred.
"On that evening the horses had
been exercised and watered as usual,
and tho stables were locked up at 8
O'Clock. Two of the lads walked up
to the trainers house, where they had
supper i'm the kitchen. while the third.
Ned Hunter. remained on guard At
few minutes after the maid. Edith
Baxter. carried down to the stables his
supper. which consisted of a dish of
curried mutton. She took no liquid,
as there was water-taD in the stables
and il was the rule that the lad on
duty should drink nothing else. The
maid carried a lantern with her, as it
was very dark and the path ran across
the oDen moor.
Edith Baxter was within thirty
yards of the stables, when man ap-
peared out OF the darkness and called
to her to stop. As he stepped into the
circle of yellow light thrown by the
lantern she saw that he was a person
of gentlemanly bearing dressed in a
gray suit of tWeeds. with a cloth cap.
He wore CATERS, and carried a heavy
stick with a knob to it. She was most
impressed. however. by the extreme
pallor of his face and by the nervous
ness of his manner. His age she
thought, would be rather over 80 than
under It.
Can you tell me where / ann? he
asked. i had almost made up my
mind to sleep on the moor. when | saw
the light of your lantern.
You are close to the Kings Py-
land training stables said she.

Every person who knows Addi-
son L. Smith will hope that Sen
ator Hepburn may succeed in
securing his appointment as col
lector of Internal revenue for the
district comprised OF Montana,
Utah and Idaho. That position
has always been given to Mon
tana man, until DR.. Collister of
Salt Lake, was appointed nearly
four years ago, recommended by
Senator Kearns. AS his time will
soon expire, Senator Hepburn is
urging Mr.. Smiths appointment
to the position. As the late Sen
ator Shoup's secretary, Mr.
Smith has spent much time in
Washington and enjoys a per-
sonal acquaintance with the
president as well as many prom
1nent statesmen. lie is a repub-
lican and has been an active and
able assistant in the manage
ment Of every campaign in this
state for a number Of years. 1t
is reported that Senator Carter,
Of Montana, has Joined Senator
Hepburn in this appointment.
1t is Idaho's turn to have this
office, as these three states have
always constituted one internal
revenue district, and Idaho has
never yet been accorded the
honor OF the position. Nugget
hopes to see Addison t. Smith
secure it.

church. What he will do if he
cannot control the democratic
state convention remains to be
seen. 1t is claimed by some that
before the conventions meet he
will go over to the republican
party, hoping for better success
there, or that he will organize an
independent party. His opposi-
tion to the Mormon church is a
means to an end. The end is re-
election to the senate. Ii both
parties adopt an anti-Mormon
plank the senator will be at sea.
He would prefer that only one
adopt that plank. He will boost
whichever one that should hap
pen to be, with full hope and con-
fidence that it will boost him.
To that extent the senator is a
firm believer in the principle OF
reciprocity. Ambitious politi-
clans who long to be his sue
cessor will do well to keep both
eyes wide open and proceed to
devise schemes to head him off.
The senator has the happy facul-
ty OF succeeding when success
seems affair off from the viewpoint
OF Others, and apparently NOV
ing yet further away.-Idaho

FRIDAY, DECEMBER l, 1905.

The Lewiston Tribune, a dem
ocratic newspaper, but one which
does not try to make political
capital by the unfair means Of
criticising the opposition when it
is doing its best to further the
interests of the state, has the fol-
lowing to say concerning the
action of the state land board in
the Fremont county land lease
matter:
1t is not clear whether the state
land board was fault or not in
making the original lease, but one
thing does seem clear and that is
that the board was ready and eager
to repair its fault, if any existed.
1t usually takes more courage and
strength to do this than to stand
pat, twistening in land out in at
tempting to maintain an appear
ance of consistency, aud it is only
the little and narrow minds that
concern themselves over this
doubtful virtue. What is wanted
is people that really try to do the
right thing and if they find they
have made a mistake are glad to
correct it as matter Of justice as
we'll as of self interest. We cannot
hope at this stage of human life to
have public officials or others who
make no mistakes. but if we cal.
have those who prefer to correct
such as they may make rather than
persist in an error, we shall be do
ing very we'll indeed.

tunity to give the sheriff a stab,
and they called an attorney here
from Caldwell to consult with them
regarding the matter, paying him,
it is rumored, 500 for his trip and
advice, only to be told by the at
torney that the only charge they
could make stick against him was
one for not doing his whole duty,
in not filing complaints against the
men and causing them to be fined
for cruelty to animals.
But finally, Jake and the gang
found one charge against the Off
Ger which they think they can
make cause him trouble, and they
are gloating over it with almost
fiendish delight, and Jake is filling
his paper with stuff enough about
it to make decent people disguised;
the worst feature about it being his
pretended sympathy for the man
who in his ignorance" has made
such mistake" Such peoples
sympathy is about the cruelest hit
they can bestow. The charge

Jake. thu Gang and the Sheriff.

People who have known Jake
Horn for years have become so
accustomed to regarding every
thing that he did, wrote, pub
lished or promised, as a sort of
joke that very little attention
has ever been paid to anything
he either says or does. But Jake,
backed by clique of would-be
gamblers, who find the law en-
forced preventing them from
running open games in this
county, and egged on by three
or four sorehead office seekers
who have been badly showed I'M
der at the last two elections, has
been making such a pestiferous
nuisance of himself and his news
paper, recently, that it is time
that some notice should be taken
of the matter.
We have a sheriff and deputy
in Owyhee who went along swim
mingly with their duties, to the
satisfaction Of all good citizens,
until one day the prosecuting at
torney called their attention to
the anti-gambling law of Idaho,
and told them that gambling
must be stopped in Owyhee and
that the law must be enforced,
as it was in nearly every other
county in the state, and the
sheriff Immediately pulled down
the lid. The gamblers promptly
tried to bulldoze the sheriff and
his deputy but found the more
they tried that game the more
resolute they became. Their
next resort was to try to induce
the sheriff's sureties to withdraw
from his bond, but they found
these gentlemen to be citizens
who believed in the enforcement
OF the laws and they were baked
again. Failing in this, they
brought charges of drunkenness
against his deputy and present
ed a petition to the county com-
missioners, asking for that
officers removal. The gang
failed again, and the sheriff still
continued to sit on the lid. Then
they continued to hunt up other
petty charges. On several oc-
casions, persons have come to
town with teams or on hoseback
and left their animals standing
tied on the streets for many
hours while the owners remained
drinking or drunk in the saloons
and gambling dives. When the
officers attention was called to
this inhuman treatment, on several
occasions, the animals taken to a
stable, watered and fed and the;
owners forced to foot the bills.
Even for this humane act, the
gang thought they saw an oppor.
