The following resolution was
unanimously adopted by a rising
vote at a meeting of the citizens OF
Persons, Kansas:
WHEREAS, 1t has come to our
knowledge that one, James McPar-
land, who formerly lived in this
city, is the chief instigator in pro-
curing the arrest, and is now trying
to convict Charles Meyer, William
Haywood and George A. Pettibone,
citizens of Colorado, of the murder
of Ex-Governor Stcunenberg OF Ida
no; and
WHEREAS, While said McPar-
land lived among us, he was oil IN
tamously bad character, being asso-
ciated while here with the notori-
Gus Mclaughlin of Grand Central
fame. He, to the knowledge OF our
people was engaged in the commits
sion of all the crimes known to
criminal law. He suddenly de-
parted from this city nearly twenty
years ago, and we knew naught OF
his whereabouts until we heard OF
him in connection with this case.
While we have not sufficient
knowledge of the facts regarding
the Steunenberg murder as VIII
warrant us in making a positive
statement as to the guilt or inno-
,cence of Meyer, Haywood ana
Pettibone, such limited informa-
ton as we possess leads us to be-
lieve in their innocence; therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, BY this meeting,
that we warn the courts and law
officers of Idaho 90 be watchful oil
every move made by James McPar-
land, as we unhesitatingly declare
that where there is money con-
;sideration he will do anything, no
matter how low or vile, to accom-
plish his purpose. We caution all
persons that have any connection
with the trial of these men, that

MINING PARAGRAPHS.

Lemhi county, Idaho, has suf-

perienoe. There are today about
600 stamps in the county, of
which only about 100 are in oper-

on mines where the ore proved to
be too base for stamp mill treat

Lemhi county is one of the most
favored counties in Idaho, or in the

attempted to play Billiards and pool
with various results. WIN David

Of billiards and Judge Sweeney opened

Of the game. The ladies' gasped for

CHOLERA RAvAGES HERDS.

Central Iowa.
Cholera has broken out in Hamil-

ravaging the herds about Webster
City. Alexander Groves, a wealthy
farmer of Webster, has lost 400 hogs
out of herd of 435. Farmers all
over the southern part Of the county
report big losses. The ravages of this
disease will work much damage and
the loss of thousands of dollars to the
farmers. On account of the prevail
ing high prices many more hogs than
usual have been raised in Iowa and if
the cholera sweeps the farms of the
state Iowa farmers will be in bad
way.
