Boise. Idaho, Nov. 2-At a meeting
held by w. e. Borah at Weiser to-
night an interesting incident occurred
Rev. A. E. Paddock had gone to the
meeting with four questions he had
prepared to ask the speaker. He asked
one of them but declined to produce
the others. This one was asked when
Mr.. Borah criticized Mr.. Dubois for
not fling complaints If he knew as he
claimed of case of plural marriage
; in Idaho since the manifesto. Mr..
Paddock asked why don't you file
complaints .yourself?" to which Mr..
orah replied:
Rev. Paddock, if I knew of any
one who had committed the crime of
polygamy. as you in a public utter
ence have claimed. you know would
have the moral courage to file COM
plant. If you will go to southeastern
Idaho and find some one who has con-
tracted plural marriage since the
manifesto and will file a complaint in
the case I will pay your expenses and
I will proceed to prosecute without
expense to the county every party
against whom you file q complaint in
the next two years. Now you should
either have the moral courage to pro-
coed to get busy or cease your coward
Ivy attacks upon the good faith OF
ether men. I want to say to you
further that II you know Of a party
who Is practicing polygamy as you
have asserted verbally and lack the
moral courage to file complaint you
lack the first elements Of good citi.

Snow Slides in Colorado.

Denver, March 19-Ouray, Duran
60, Silverton, Leadville, Aspen and
other smaller mining camps have
been visited with snowslides during
the last few days. Hairbreadth
escapes from the snow which thun-
ders down the steep sides OF the
mountains are reported from every
mining camp, and grave fears are
entertained for scores OF daring
prospectors and miners who are cut
off from the outside world In their
lonely cabins far up In the bills. One
slide In SlIverton struck the edge OF
the town, doing considerable dam
aye. The railroads in the San Juan
region are blockaded. The South
Park road is blocked by slide near
Leadville. The mines around Crest
ed Butte are completely cut OH from
transportation. Late reports told
OF general storm OF unprece dented
severity for this season throughout
the eastern and central portions OF
Colorado, but clearing weathe is

The report also censures Secretary
