Is II Coal or Gar Shortage.

In view of superintendent Ohm
stead's latest enunciation as to why
all towns along the line OF the o.
S. L. are short of fuel; namely,
that the mines can't supply the
demand, that there is no car
shortage, Mayor Mahoney is con-
sidering the advisability of making
a trip to the Wyoming mines, to
investigate the situation. Here is
something on this point from the
ST. Anthony News: Last week II.
H. Smith, one of the local coal
dealers, made a trip to the coal
camps in Wyoming in the endeavo1
to get view of the coal shortage
situation at short range. He spen'
the day at Kemmerer, and after
good deal of talk induced the Goa

frosts. Almonds and walnuts, both
of the soft shell variety, semi
tropic products, are also grown
down there.
Monday morning eleven teams
and twenty odd men left Mountain
Home to begin work on the extern
sion of the ditch. Consulting En-
gineer Sublette, of the G. w. B. S.
Co., has been at work on the ground
for ten days or two weeks past, and
is now there directing operations.
Excavation can be carried on all
winter and large area of ground,
in addition to that already covered
by the eight miles of ditch, will
be brought under irrigation by

The water right secured is one
of the oldest on the river and /:

There are other and bigger

BEN HARRIS. RUSTL|NG
COAL, SHOT BY SHERIFF
Claimed to Have Been an ACCident--WlIl
Stop Stea|ing---Legal Proceedings
to be Instituted.

Tuesday night Sheriff Ross shot
Ben Harris, the mail contractor be-
tween here and Bruneau, while
rustling coal. The ball entered near
the hip, trending down through the1
flesh of the thigh. The wound is
thought not to be dangerous.
AS Maverick gets the story from
apparently reliable sources, II is
about like this: The conductor OF
the freight notified Sheriff Ross and
Night Watchman George, who were
together at the time, that a gang
of rustlcrs were throwing coal from
the train and asked them to put a
stop to it. One of he officers went
on one side of the train and the
other on the opposite side. When
nearing the men, they were or
dered to desist, and they started
to run. Sheriff Ross yelled 10
them to stop, telling them who ne
was and stating that he did not
want to hurt any one. They con-
tinued to run, the officers pulled
their guns and fired in the air,
George once and Ross twice. Then
the latter lowered his gun and tired
third time, but not in the d1rec-
tion of the fleeing men. he says
he was not trying to hit anyoooy
and the theory advanced is that the
ball struck some hard SUBSTANCE
glanced and hit Harris. The nature
of the wound seems to suDstant1ate
this theory, for it would be impos-
sible to take such course mao IL
sped direct from the revolver IN
Ross hand to Harris.
Another version of this affair
comes to Maverick, to the etfec'
that it was direct shot, tirec
without sufficient provocat1on OF
legal excuse, andssthat legal proceed
ings, criminal and possibly civil
will be instituted at an early day
This information is semi-official
though not authoritative, yet reli
able.
In this connection, Maverick
requested to state by those in au
thor1ty. that they have given thei
promise TO stop this coal stealing a
long as the railroad furnishes
supply, and they are going to q
il. as long as there is ton
town for sale. AS long as the locs
supply remained exhausted, the
did not interfere; but will not pei
