Beats the cars, don't it, the good health that's

But what takes my eye most was his trousseau.

IN The ROAD
Special to Evening Teller.

Special to Evening Teller
NEz PIERCE, Idaho, Sept. 24.-(By
Nez Perez Cooperative Telephone.)-
Picked up unconscious on the road
near here and unable to tell what had
injured him, ]. w. Stanford, better
known as shorty Stanford, was car
rfed to the Frank Johnson place, where
he died soon after.
DR.. J. L. Kelly, who was called i'm
mediately, states that his death was
due to appoplexy. He believes that
the man strained blood vessel lifting
sack of barley on his horse and died
from the hemmorage.
Stamford left Nez Perez for the
Johnson place this afternoon, and soon
the horse returned without the rider.
William Leadbetter who went out to
investigate, found Stanford lying un-
conscious in the road. He carried him
Immediately to Johnson's farm, but
the injured man was so weak he could
not be revived.
Stanford was we'll known in this
community. He had a farm in Law
yer's canyon and was about 40 years
of age. He had no relatives in this
part Of the country and little is known

CAN INDIAN LAW
STAND IN COURT
Girl Adopted AfterRed Mans
Custom Defendant in
Land Title Suit

Whether or not an Indian child
adopted according to the Indian GUS
toms, but not according to the laws
of the state Of Idaho, is the legal heir
to the lands and property of her foster
parents Is the question that will have
to be decided by Judge Steele in the
case in re estate Of Eliza McWilliams
which appears on the calendar this
term.
Eliza is the adopted child of the Nc
Williams and as such feels that their
land is heres after their death. Others
have taken the land and property.
She is now bringing suit to restore
what he believes is her title.
She is their foster child. No one
questions that fact. According to the
customs which the Indians have held
sacred she was made their own child
as far as their own laws go. But she
was never brought into the white
mans courts. Her adoption was never
made according to the laws under
which citizens Of this state must make
a legal adoption. Now she is appeal
ing to the white mans court for jus
tice and knotty problem is presented.

The attempt to make the working

governor has fallen with dull sick
ening thud. Stockslager may be a
but his record on the bench is not
consistent with the claims that are
now being made for him.
A little more than a year has elapsed
since Judge Stockslager's vote on the
supreme bench deprived the working
men of Idaho of the only protection
they were afforded under the lien
laws of the state. Judge Stewart, the
present republican nominee for SUI
preme Judge, had rendered decision
holding the Idaho mechanics lien law
constitutional. On appeal to the SUI
preme court the decision Of the lower
court was reversed. Judge Ailshie
wrote dissenting opinion in which he
said:
THE provisions of the lien law UNI
der consideration are, it seems to me,
too plain, and clear to require any
construction, but rhe view taken Of
them by my associates is SO dame
trically opposed to what conceived to

statutes are expressed that I FIND

SHE said:
Il am thoroughly satisfied that the
trial court (Judge Stewart) arrived at
the correct conclusion as to the intent
and purpose Of this statute, and the
clear and unequivocal expression Of
the statute itself, and his Judgment
should be affirmed"
But Judge Stockslager couldn't see
it that way and SO the result OF many
years Of struggle on the part Of the
workers for law that would ensure
the payment of wages earned was de-
stroyed
It must be evident that Judge Stock
slayer either expressed in his opinion
his unfriendliness for labor and his
hostility to labor measures or that he
was wiser in his conception Of law

the Idaho supreme court as it will be
constituted. after January LIST.
1t will not be commended that Judge
Stockslager, or any other judge. should
write judicial opinions in conflict with
the promptings Of conscience. But the
supreme Justice whose conscience inn
pels him to write opinions like that Of
Justice Stockslager on the labor lien
law are serious impeachment to their
own advancement as friends of la
bor." They must not be surprised If
the workingmen decide to keep that
manner of conscience in shaded politi-
cal obscurity where it may acquire

will teach that Flaw is reason" and
that reason has no quarrel with the
