ENTIRE STATE Is
DEMOCRATIC
POSSIBLY FOUR WINNERS AMONG
REPUBLICANS.
Douglass, Ring. Mccarthy and Eggers
May Possibly Be Elected, But Even
This Is Not Certain.

RENO, Nov 8.-The story from the
other counties Of the state is almost q
repitition Of what took place in Washoe
The majorities Of the Democrats are in
creased with every message bearing
the returns, and Sparks is running
ahead of his tieekt. The southern part
of the state is almost a unit for
Sparks. This could not be better IL
iustrsted than by the vote given in
Mitchell's own precinct in Diamond
field. There the total vote was 40; Of
that number Sparks received A, Nit
eheli 1. No better illustration Of the
popularity of Sparks could be given
than that.
Teh last returns received from Gold.
field are AZ follows:
With the vote three -fourths counted
the Goldfeid precincts give the follow.
ing: Sparks, D., $50; mitchell, R., 294;
Casey, g., 81.
Supreme Judge, Sweeney, D., 593;
Dodge, r., 2S0; Anderson, g., 172.
Congressman, bartlett, D., 533;
Smith, r., 278; Jardins, g., 1872.
Senator, Payne, d., 523; Horton, r.
Sal; criteh6eld, d., 1877.
Outside precincts are very slow In
coming in, but the scattering returns
show Sparks to be running way ahead
of his ticket. The entire Democratic
ticket will be elected in Esmeralds
county, with the possible exception u
two assemblymen, of which the soeiali
lists will elect one and Republicans one
thus giving one tosssch party.

PARADISE INDIANS STATED TO
CONSTABLE OTIS
Who Had Arrested Them on Susicjon
Of Countsrfeising Unit,d States
COiuS.

Constable Otis, who arrived from
Paradise Valley last evening has in his
pockets four silver quarters Of par
sicularly bright appearance. A Para
disc Indian is now confined in the jail
ut Paradise and thereby hangs tale.
Several weeks ago in the valley two
Indians made a small purchase in the
kemler store and handed over in pay
ment the bright quarters which Consta.
BILE Otis now has. The particularly
bright appearance of the silver excit-
ed the suspicion of the proprietor of
the store, F. NJ. Buckingham, and he
gave the money to Constable Otis.
The constable then arrested the In
dians on suspicion Of having counter
feited United States coin. He searched
the Indian village and found bottle
of quick silver. After considerable
questioning it developed that the In.
dians had plated ordinary coins with
the mercury, and had not been guilty
of counterfeiting.
The coins which Constaoie Otis has
however look very suspicious, but upor
proper Identification were found to bt
genuine.
To the aboriginal's mind probably
bright quarter Is worth more than i
dull one. When arrested the Indian.
stated to the constable, "Me use ZEN

Highest Tribunal in State of
Idaho Passes Upon Import
ant Divorce Case.
MUST TRANSFER ACTION
OR CHANGE THE JUDGE
Decision May Have a Vital Bear
ing Upon Noted Moyer-
Haywood Case.

BOISE, Ida, July S.-The Supreme
court has reversed the order of Judge
Morgan of the District court for Sho-
shone county, refusing to grant q
change of venue In the famous Day di-
vorce case. and instructed him either
to call in another Judge or send the
case into another district, 1t also or
ders Eugene r. Day, the defendant in
the case, to pay into court the sum OF
$500 to meet the costs of his wife IN
prosecuting the suit. Mr., Day is one
of the owners OF the Hercules mine
In this case the plaintiff, Agnes Lo-
retta Day, applied for change of
venue on the ground that the Judge
was preJudiced. A large number OF af-
fidavits were filed In support Of the
motion. Counter aff1dayits TO the num-
Der of siXty-f1pe were filed by the de-
fendant. After presentation of the mat
ter. the Judge refused to grant the ap-
plication. taking the ground that preju-
dice OF the Judge Is not cause under
the statute for q change OF venue. The
statute simply provides that Judge Is
prohibited from acting when he is a
party in interest, when he is related to
either of the litigants or when he has
been an attorney In the action.
The plaintiff relied upon the clause
Of the constitution. section IS, article l..
which provided that right and Justice
shall be administered by the courts
without sale, denial. or prejudice"
1t Is held by the Supreme court that
this clause Is self-executing. The stat
ute was enacted before the constitution
was adopted. but even were IT other
wise the section of the constitution
would govern.
In conclusion the opinion says 1T
Is contended that atlldavits on the part
of the appellant do not show bias and
prejudice and that II SO, they have
been fully met by other aff1davits show
ing the high and honorable character of
the trial Judge, 1t must be conceded
that judges are susceptible to bias and
prejudice the came as other men. and
we think the record shows such a state
OF affairs or condition that II would
bring discredit upon the judiciary to
permit trial before the present Judge,
and therefore conclude that another
Judge must be called to try the case,
as may be done under the provisions
OF sectlon IL, article Of the constitu-
ton Of Idaho. 1t VIII no doubt be less
expensive to both parties to try the
case in Shoshone county
The District Judge Is ordered to
change tho place OF trial or call In such
other Judge.
An interesting collateral effect OF the
decision Is that II Will likely bring on
a still more determined effort on the
part OF the defense n the Meyer Hay
wood -Pettibone case TO secure a change
OF venue on the allegation that Judge
Smith In RIelp2leed.'

the other drums caught fire almost
Immediately. The Chinese crew re-

drums overheard and clambered into
lighters. The captain and officers OF

Floating drums OF naphtha, blazing
furiously, drifted with the tide into
