In pursuance of the promise in the
last issue Of The Tribune. we inves-
tigated the story emanating from the
Idaho Unionist in regard to report
ed outrage committed against Jesse
paws, on the night of December 20,
1906. According to Mr. Davis, on
that night a number Of masked men
drove up in front of his house one
and a half miles east of Caldwell, and
shot into his house several times.
Mr.. Davis theory is that the men in
tended killing him and his whole
family in order to get revenge on
him for his activity in the Steunen-
berg case in behalf of Messrs. Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone, and also for
the purpose of intimidating others
who might feel inclined to assist the
Western Federation officials. Ac-
cording to his story the newspapers
of Caldwell and Boise were deliber-
ately suppressing the news. He does
not state a reason for this suppress
sion of the news on the part of the
newspapers.
Story Of Affair.
The Tribune learns that on Tues
day, January 2, 1907, in the after
noon of said day, and three days af-
ter the alleged outrage, Mr.. Jesse
Davis reported to Sheriff Nichols

The Town of Notus.

Three years ago the place where
the town of Notus stands, was known
only as being the residence of one
of the section bosses on the Short
Line. A neat little ranch house was
on one side of the track and the big
red section house on the other. A
man came along one day and offered
the ranch owner $3.50 per acre for
his ranch and right then he bought
something. and everybody who knew
,ThDmas Burns thought he had driven
a big bargain. The victim from the
east evidently knew what he was do
ing, for he Immediately had 20 acres
of the land plated in lots and
blocks and erected a store building.
A post Office soon followed and Notus
soon assumed the appearance of
country trading point.
The town now has bank with

was said to have been committed it

would have been impossible for Jesse

The idea Involved.
The circulation and publication of
this story by this Jesse Davis is done
for a purpose. AS Is well known the
Western Federation officials want a
change of venue, as they are afraid
that they will get fair trial in
Caldwell. If 1t can be shown to the
judge who Is called in that Caldwell
is an unsafe place, and that the peo-
pie are unlawful the chances of get
ting a change of venue will be very
good. AS The Tribune has stated
on several occasions Judge Bryan
cannot try the cases, and consequent
~ will ack cOno Othar iudpa RI rnmo
in. The idea of Jesse Davis and his
confederates Is to prejudice the
Judge.
Jesse Davis.
Jesse Davis is an avowed Socialist
He has lived in Caldwell for several
years. He was accused of attempt
ing to bride a member of the grand
jury last spring.
