Former Governor Frank
Steunenberg Killed
By a. Bomb
About to Enter His Home When
Stricken by Internal Machine
Which BIOtted Out His
Manly Existence.
[The Daily Statesman, December 31.l


Former Governor Frank Steun-
enberg was killed last evening by
a dynamite bomb in front of his
home at Caldwell at $40 p. m.
The explosion shattered both of
his legs and he lived but twenty
minutes. Though living he was
practically unconscious, the only
words he uttered being question
as to who shot him and a request
to be turned over.
It is not known who the murder
er was, but it is suspected by many
that some member of the inner
circle of the Occur d'Alene dynam-
tiers was responsible for the outrage.
No one in Caldwell believes
there was any other possible reason
for the frightful crime. 1t seems
altogether probable that the author
Of the diabolical deed had studied
the governors habits and that he
adjusted the bomb to the gate
about the time he knew his victim
would be returning to his home.
The probability is that, by some
contrivance, the opening of the
gate exploded the internal machine.
The town was thrown into wild
confusion by the outrage and it
has been difficult up to this hour,
9;9O, to secure more than the barest
outline of the tragedy.
One rumor is that a man was
seen coming through the gate a
short time before the explosion.
1t is thought that the bomb was
attached to the post, but both the
post and the gate were blown away.
All the glass on that side of the
house was blown in.
When the victim was reached

OTHERS TANGLED
IN MURDER CASE

Dayton, O., Dec. 10.--The Ave
physicians who performed the Sec
ond autopsy on the exhumed body Of
Dora Gilman. the mill girl recently
found murdered, reported that she
had been criminally assaulted. Ex-
animation of the contents Of the stom-
ach showed that the last meal she
had eaten was at a restaurant, the
contents corresponding with the
restaurant bill Of fare.
This last fact was considered Of
supreme Importance by the investixa-
ting officials because upon its sub
sanitation hangs the effectiveness OF
the arrest today of The mother and
brother of the murdered girl, and the
attempt. thus far Intellectual to appre-
bend the older sister on the direct
charge Of murder. The arrest Of the
sister is expected at any moment.
The charge against members of
the family, the mother as principal
and the brother and sister as access
series. was made by Constable William
Heintzman Of Cincinnati, in a series
Of affidavits fled today. Young Gil
man was arraigned late this after
noon, pleaded not guilty to the charge
and waa held for TRIAL tomorrow
morning. Mrs. Gilman was not plac-
ed under arrest, as she Is in a hos
pital and Is reported t. be in a serious
condition.
In their report this physicians de-
clare: "It Is our joint conclusion that
death was caused b. strangulation. "
Coroner Kline. commenting on this
declaration. said tonight that the con-
dition of the throat. the inner walls
OF which had been broken down from
choking, showed exactly the condit-
lon which would have been produced
by the grip David Curtis declared in
his recent confession that he had held
on the throat Of the girl till she ceased
to struggle. when he said he assault
ed her after having followed her near
ly to her home.

WOULD REPEAL GAME LICENSE
r. G. johnson Of Webb Believes Pros.
snt Law Incentiev to Crime.

WEBB, Idaho. Dec. 11.-Editor
Evening Teller: In answer to the
question. What would you have the
legislature do?" I think the repeal of
the present game license law would
be one Of the most beneficial acts to
the rising generation and future citi-
zenship of the state OF Idaho. For
this reason it is presumed today that
every boy throughout the country
country districts Of the state are law
breakers, because they will shoot
chicken and catch a fish occasionally
without any license. 1 believe in law
and order, but I think 1t poor policy
for the legislature to make laws that
the people Of the state cannot well
live up to. To illustrate, we will say
the average farmer has Ave sons and
in order to kill one chicken each. and
they would not probably kill more
than that, 1t would cost them IS for
license. and often they would not have
the money in the pocket and suppose
they had. they might have to go Is or
so miles before they could get license
and now, Mr.. Editor. the, objection to
this law Is that it educates our boys
to be law breakers. Shoot a chicken
against the law. shoot the neighbors'
hogs against the law, shoot the neigh
boris cattle against the law and then
shoot their neighboP against the law.
and then their s1hcation is finished
and they are put behind the bars. On
the other hand. IL the opportunity to
commit the first offense was removed
they might never commit those other
greater crimes, and grow I'D to he
good law-abiding citizens. The prom
er education of the youth is best for
the state and the nation. Gentlemen.
elect to the coming legislature. ren.aI
the game license law and the state of
Idaho will call you blessed. And now
hoping that some ADLER pen than mine
VIII take up the cause of the farmers.

HOPE
He WILL LIVE

Washington Dec. 10.-The life OF
former Senator Brown who was shot
by Mrs. Anna Bradley Saturday, to-
night Is hanging by a mere thread.
Little hope for mis- recovery is held out
by the attendants at the Emergency
hospital, but his physician, DR.. w.
P. Carr, still has some nope that his
patient will survive.
Mrs. Bradley spent another rest
less day in ner cell at the house Of
detention and her only thought seems
to be for the man whom she shot
down. She was much interested in
the report today that Mrs. Annie
Adams of Philadelphia, mother Of
Maude Adams, the actress, had ar
rived in Washington and had made an
effort to see Senator Brown at the
hospital. She urged the matron to
send for Mrs. Adams, declaring it was
important that she see her at once.
Assistant District Attorney Given to-
day announced that "lf Senator Brown
is still alive tomorrow / shall issue
an information against Mrs. Bradley
for assault with intent to kill, and
she Will be given preliminary hearing
in the police court at once. In the
event of his (Senator Brown's) death.
murder will be charged.
A. L. Leckie, of counsel for Mrs.
Bradley, says that he was retained by
George w. Bartch, former chief JUS
tice Of the supreme court Of Utah, and
john L. Bagley, former attorney gen.

ORANGES IN OLD KENTUCKY.
Efforts Now Being Made TO Extend

Or. Willet VI. Hays, Assistant Secretary
of the Department Of Agriculture, was
asked yesterday about the report thai
experiments had been tried by his depert-
ment to graft an orange upon a plum tree
or other hardy annual for the purpose
of producing a fruit which might be
raised as far north as Kentucky.
That is a misstatement" he replied.
''CT. rather. it is Overstated. Expert
ments are now being made with view
OF extending the northern zone OF the
orange, but not By grating onto any
other tree. 4 hybrid has been produced
Of hardy stock which. we believe will
eventually be raised mUcn farther north

Of those produced are sweet and edible,
while some of the others are tit for use

DO you think. Dr. Hays was asked,
that the zone Of the orange may be ex-
tended as far north as Kentucky"
