suits in Shooting Of Jack Wssrsing

BOISE. Jan. 1S.--Information has
reached Boise from Roosevelt that
Jack weersing was shot and seriously
wounded by George Crooks on Sunday
evening. January 8. The bullet took
effect in the thigh and according to
advices received. WeersinGs condition
is regarded as critical Both men are
well known in Roosevelt where they
have been for some time. Weersing
was married In Boise last October to
Miss winifred Ward and his wife re-
sides here.
No details are at hand respecting
the affairs beyond the fact that Crooks
and weersing quarreled over some
business matters and Weersing was
shot. Whether 1t was duel or a plain
case of getting the drop first il not
known.
Crooks has a good reputation in
Roosevelt and is generally regarded AZ
a quiet and peaceable citisen. He
owns several promising claims in the
district and has been engaged In de-
veloping them. Those who know him
well declare he was not inclined to
quarrel.
weersing is also a miner. He is a
giant physically and IL said to be
somewhat belligerent. In several quar-
rels he has worsted his adversary and
his reputation In the camp 10 that Of q
lighting man. He was married to Miss
winifred Ward III Boise 1t fair time
last October ana his wife 70 now In the
city. She had not been advised Of the
unfortunate ARRAY ana IL anxiously
awaiting definite news.
This is the first gun play reported
from Roosevelt. Colonel Diamond was
wounded by bullets at Reardon last
autumn and taken to the Roosevelt
hospital. but thus far the camp has
been extremely peaceable. There are
| two justices OF the peace in Roosevelt
and two or three attorneys, but they
have had nothing excerpt civil cases.

BOISE. Ida. Jan. 16.-whether 1t is
er workers than the representatives or
because the members of the lower
branch of the legislature have felt the
cares of state weighing down their
manly bosoms. it Is an undeniable fact
that the senate is, not keeping as busy
these days as is the house. The upper
branch. for illustration. adjourned over
Sunday on Friday forenoon, while 1t
was not until Saturday noon that the
lower house felt free to take this ac-
ton. Whereas the representatives
have a total Of thirty one bills to their
credit up to the beginning Of the third
week of the eighth session, the senate
has contented itself with but half that
number.
True. a cynic might point to the lat
ter fact as evidence Of the superior
statemanship and better intentions Of
Of the more sedate and conservative
senators, that explanation can not be
made OF the fact that 1the senate has
established II o'clock each morning a.
it's hour for convening. while the
members Of the house gather each day
at 10 o'clock, a full hour earlier. The
sessions of both branches have SO far
been quite brief. more time perhaps
being taken in committee and caucus
work than in the sessions OF the two
houses themselves.
Caucusses. by the way. have almost
got on the brains Of some of the men,

that he forgot to oust the two demo-
