HOn0rs For The Men Who Pre-
served the Nation.
One of the Largest Crowds Ever Gath
cred Here on Such an Occasion
Hears Literary and Pat.
riotic Treat.

Probably the largest crowd that
ever attended Memorial day sery-
ices in Shoshone, gathered at the
opera house Thursday to hear the
program as published two weeks
ago. There was not hitch of any
kind. The day was perfect, the aud
ience large and attentive, the music
of unusual excellence, and the adj
dress as helpfully patriotic as one
could wish to hear. After the ex-
ercises at the hall, the people form
ed in line and marched to the GEM
etery, where the graves were decor
ated.
In his address, Major Fred Reed
paid an admirable tribute to the
courage and patriotism of the men
for whom Memorial day was design
ed, and to the civic virtues which
they, receiving from their reyolu-
tionary fathers, have transmitted
with growing lustre to the gener-
ations yet to come. He was inter
rupted by frequent and hearty APP
plause.
Among the many passages that
would be we'll worth preservation,
was this:
"And ask the good, kind God to
help the chief executive of this state
who is trying to find the man who
assassinated the former brave gov
ernor of the state. do not say that
any man now on trial is guilty, but
it is a duty to find the assassin OF
that officer who in the dark hour of
peril set his heel on the neck of trea-
son and brought order out of chaos
for which he was made the target
for the murderous bomb. 1t Is our
duty to find that man, whoever he
may be. and hang him by the neck
until he is dead"
One of the interesting features OF
the days program was the appear
ance of G. c. Haynes with his his
toric old Overland stage and four
horses. He took two loads of peo-
pie to and from the cemetery.

Bound Over to the District Court
on a Serious Charge.
Drove Off a Bunch of Horses Without
Proper Legal Formalities---Got
Him With His Plundcr at
Shoshone Ealls.

Bert Butler of Clover Greek, or
of Cassia county, for he may be
found in either locality, was on
Tuesday bound over to the district
court on the charge of horse steal
ing.
Butler was arrested on Friday
night, Just as he was about to cross
the river near Shoshone Falls with
a herd of selected horses bearing
assorted brands that were not the
property of Butler. There were
about twenty horses in the lot.
Among the bunch were horses
belonging to S. c. Frost, A. Kin
sew. William Sims and others.
These men appeared in Shoshone
Tuesday, at the time set for the
preliminary hearing, and testified
as to the loss of the stock which
was found in Buffers possession.
The case was prosecuted by County
Attorney Disney, and the defense
was conducted by B. P. Howells OF
Albion. Butler did not take the
stand, but waived examination and
was bound over for trial.
The horses were apparently Ia
ken from near Gooding and driven
in a roundabout way to the river
at the falls, where they were to be
taken outside of the county. But
Ter made no resistance when con-
fronted by the sheriff.
Frank Perry, a FrenchWan llv-
ing on Frenchman's Island, was
with Butler helping with the horses.
He, too, was brought in for a hear
ing. Perry, who speaks English
very imperfectly, says ne was
merely an employee of the other
man, and that he knew nothing OF
the ownership of the animals. The
officers made an investigation of the
matter before taking definite steps
in his case. He was discharged
Thursday, to his great joy.
Butler is held on four charges,
with $500 bond in each case. At
torney Disney says that a lot more
infermations can be filed if neces-
sary to hold him.
Sheriff Jones and Attorney Dis
ney are doing the right thing IN
probing the matter to the bottom
to make property interests safe now
and in the future.

DENVER MAN SAW GREAT LIGHT
Special Writer Hugh O'NeiPs Report
From the Haywood Trial.

Most men on trial for their lives
would be glad to have a soldier on
the jury. Your brave man is safer
and saner, has better idea OF the
life and OF rights, and less fear OF
consequences for any decided act
ion. than the one who has not the
same courageous fibre. Hugh U
Neil, special correspondent for the
Denver Post, saw something in the
effort to unseat Juror Cox in the
HAYWOOD trial at Boise the other
day which prompted him to write
the following:
His name was Harmon Cox. He
had fought through the war from
the beginning to end. His should
ers were stopped with years, but
his frame was massive and vlgor-
Gus and his mind active. The but
ton of the Grand Army OF the Re-
public glinted on his lapel. He
had faced bloody death on the bat
tlefeld many times. He sat on the
back row of the Jurors chairs in the
court room this morning, his long,
gray beard hanging on his chest
like the sporran of Highlander's
kilt.
The prosecution had passed him
for cause. He was reasonable man

Alberta Land Opening June "a to
Be Done in Style.
Contractors Rush Work on Big Canal, So
as to Get Water on the Tract by
FaII---Storage Dam an All
Winters Job.

1t is only three weeks until the
first opening of 10000 acres of land
under the Idaho Irrigation COM
pany's Carey act project in Lincoln
county. The company is having
the land marked off with large
posts showing every subdivision,
for the convenience of land hunt
ers. The tract will be ready in ev-
cry way for a most successful open
ing on the appointed day.
The main canal comes down
from the diversion dam, in canal
65 feet wide at the bottom. 1t di-
vides above Alberta, sending one
branch down to Alberta, and the
other to the westward to water the
main tract which is to be opened
this fall or next year. 1t is expec-
ted that water will be ready to turn
into the first section, tributary to
Alberta, this fall.
One of the finest lakes in the
state will be formed by the great
storage reservoir. An idea of the
magnitude of the project may be
gained from the statement that the
lake will have shore line of about
60 miles.
J. w. Slick, of Slick Brothers,
contractors for the Idaho Irrigation
canal, was in town Thursday. He
said that the high water in the riv-
er had interfered with the work on
the diversion dam, but they had
been working steadily on the camel.
The dam, which is to raise the wa
ter Is feet, is to be built on a rock
foundation. A good dea. of the ex-
cavating has already been done, so
that it is believed 80 days will COM
plete the dam when work is begun
there. The big storage reservoir
dam, two miles farther up the riv-
er, will be a later development.
Work will be carried on there all
winter.
About $50 men are now employ
ed on the big ditch. They have
long section where the canal, 60
feet wide on the bottom, has to be
excavated to a depth of 16 feet in
the solid rock This part will be
finished within a few days, when
they will get into an easier country.
Mr.. Slick says they have little
trouble to get good men to do their
work. A good many come there
looking for snaps, men able but not
willing to work. OF one company
of six "white" men who recently
came to the camp, one would not

they shipped 400 tons, some of the
ore running $4,000 to the ton To
oren this vein at greater depth the
shaft was sunk to the 400 level, and
exactly 100 feet below the vein it
was struck again. No idea of the ex.
tent of the vein is yet known, but
the sides. bottom and top of the drift
are in ore.
The first assays returned recently
showed values of $1,000 to the ton.
On the 18th returns jumped to $3,492

were opened up the assays showed a
rising scale, running thus: $144

The value of $1,752 was taken from a
streak of tellurium about 80 inches
wide. The expectations of the com
pany are that they will run into vein
of high-grade ore which will surpass
anything ever found in the district
Three other veins have been opened
but the shaft will be pushed down
another 100 feet before they are
worked.
