Historical Notes
The Test Oath Cause.

AS CSL OdGA cause.
Governor Shoup, the 10Th day of July, 1890,
issued proclamation for general election in the
new State of Idaho fixing October 1st as the day
for said election to chose Representative in Con-
gress and to select an entire set of State county
and precinct officials.
In addition to his declaration that the then exist
ing territorial election laws would be the laws by
which the judges Of election would be governed
at the first State election Governor Shoup said:
Attention is also invited to Section three Article
six suffrage and election, of the constitution of
the State of Idaho"
This article of the constitution is what is known
as the idaho Test Oath" 1t is the same one that
has been in the constitution since that date. 1t is
the same article which the Democrats in State con-
vention last year asked to be re-enacted into stat
ute 1t is the same article which the Democrats of
the Idaho State Legislature with the aid of the
nsurgent Republicans passed last winter and which
was later "killed" in the Senate by the Republicans
and the Mormons, and it is the article to which
The Scmitar called attention frequently in its first
few issues on its lest We Forget" page. 1t may
appear there again later
In The Scimtars scrap book, just below the clip
ping containing an account of Governor Shoups call
for this first State convention, of which the people
of the new State were then so Justly proud, is a
correspondent, which says:
The Statesman, under head of "Where Are They
Now" will tomorrow publish, substantially the fol-
lowing:
cat the meeting of the Democratic Club last even
ing, Brother Robert S. Spence, the Mormon district
attorney of Bear Lake County, being cal led upon,
delivered himself of an old-fashioned Democratic
speech, declaring that his people, the Mormons,
all Democrats and all would vote the straight Demo-
cratic ticket at the State election, stating that Bear
Lake at the last election had cast fifty-three Repub
lcan and five hundred and thirty-two Democratic
votes.
'The speaker asked Where are these Democratic
in Eastern penitentares, and others hiding in the
mountain Businesses of the beautiful State of Idaho
and I have doubt" said Spence, "that Mr. FIRE.
mont would arrest [ not in the sacred
precincts of this Democratic Club
The most prominent Democratic leaders in Idaho
were present at this meeting and this speech
greeted with frequent and hearty applause
The "Mr. Fremont" referred to here is the Hon.
Fremont Wood ably presiding District
Judge of the Third Judicial District of Idaho, here
in Boise. He was at that good day, the United
States District Attorney for Idaho and more feared
than beloved by the erratc, but always Immediately
dressed, Bob Spence.
And by the way, in those good old days The
had old-fashoned habit of delivering
Itself occasionally, quite righteously of the
glaring fraities of the brethren" down in South

.YULETIDE SPIRIT
WAS IN The AIR
PARTY OF LADIES BRING
FLORAL TRIBUTES TO
FRIENDS.
- Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring;
Not even a mouse"

No one coming into Tonopah last
night would have dreamed of hard
times, for there were no hard times
in evidence. Early in the evening
the shops were bright with light and
color, and gay with throngs of peo-
pie winding up their Christmas shop
ping. The streets were crowded, and
the spirit of yuletide was in the air.
There were merry makers abroad
wishing one another merry Christ
mas; there were ladies out visiting,
and bringing floral tributes to friends,
their happy, shining faces spreading
good cheer and good luck. There
was one party in special which made
the rounds of their friends. In this
were Mrs. J. ]. McQuillan, Mrs. w. ].
Douglass, Mrs d. j. Robb, pioneers,
they being among the first ladies TO
arrive in the camp. They were ac-
companied by Mrs Thomas w. Ken
dali and Mrs. j. j. Mullin.
The ladies were handsomely attir-
ed, as befitted the occasion, and they
carried with them carnations and
violets, which they were distributing
with a lavish hand The party made
call at the Bonanza Office to give
yuletide greetings, and leave boquets
of carnations and violets. 1t was {
very pretty tribute and was appre
ciated by the Bonanza. The ladie:
called upon many of their friends
and were everywhere welcomed al
the flowers of May.

FULTON'S BODY
BROUGHT TO TOWN
THE INQUEST WAS HELD
YESTERDAY AT SILVER
BOW.

The body of Hugh Fulton, who
was killed in a quarrel on Sunday
night. was brought in from Silver
Bow at an early hour this morning,
and will be buried here under the
auspices of the Odd Fellows and the
Eagles.
Sheriff Owens, District Attorney
McCarran and Judge Brissell went
out to Silver Bow yesterday MORN
ing, and an inquest was held on the
body of the dead man. The jury
found that the deceased had come to
his death by a gunshot wound. There
were no witnesses to the shooting
present at the inquest, for the rea-
son that Tom Eastman arrived from
here after it had been concluded.
Ed. Johnson, who shot Fulton, will
probably go before the Grand Jury 10
tell his story, but all the evidence
seems to point to his act as one OF
self defense.
The dead man was an Odd Fellow
and an Eagle in good standing, and
the former organization sent for the
body.

.COTILLION CLUB
DANCE A SUCCESS
WAS ONE OF THE MOST DE
LIGHTFUL FUNCTIONS OF
THE SEASON.

The Christmas eve dance of the
Cotillion Club was one of the greatest
successes of the winter dances. Min
ers' hall was comfortably filled with
the devotees of Terpsichore, and a
most enjoyable time was had.
The affair was strictly invitation
al one, and everybody knew his part
ner, making the function like big
family gathering. The floor was in
most excellent shape, the music was
fine, and the attendance was, by far
the largest that has yet been seen
at these popular functions.

Roy was known to have had considerable money and it is thought the motive was robbery. On the body today was found pocketbook with a two dollar bill and four dollars and twentY-four cents In coin. There was a salesnan's ticket from the Tennille Furniture company of Mont gomery in his pocket on which the let ters H. D. c. were finally made out with a magnifying glass.
 The bill was for safe and the dead mans wife declares he purchased d safe in January. A reward of S5OO was offered for the body some time ago as there is said to be an insurance policy of 5000 in force. The badly decomposed state of the body prevents the features from being recognized but it is thought two men who are to come to Selma tonight will be able 70 positively identify the body by the clothes worn.
 Besides a dark suit of clothes there was pair of blue overalls on the body. MT Roy always wore overalls when car rying a load of charcoal to town, the errand he was returning from when he was drowned. His home was in Autauga county, just across the Montgomery county line

Selma, March 3.-(Special)-T body Af a white man, identified as being, in all probability, that of H. D. c. Roy, who was drowned near Montgomery about five weeks ago, was taken from the Alabama river at this point today. The body passed under the county bridge about O clock and was plainly seen by many persons MT. A. K. Cawthon fol- lowed the body in his launch and two negroes pulled 1t into a skiff which had been carried behind the launch for the purpose The body was put ashore at the city wharf where a large crowd soon col lected County Coroner Brisin swore in "a fury and after examining witnesses and viewing the body the jury rendered yer dict that the body was, to the best of their belief that of MT. Roy, and that fhe badly decomposed state in which it was found prevented a positive verdict as to whether death had occurred from drowning or whether foul play had been perpetrated. pr. Dubose, who examined the body, testified to a round hole at 1he upper corner of the left eye which penetrated to but not through the skull Ii might have been made by d blow from n blunt instrument.
 The man disappeared from Mon5gom- cry about five weeks ago, having at sen,pted to cross the river at that poini sn the ferry boat. Two negroes whom he called to assist him in taking the boat nver are still in jail in Montgomery under suspicion of having caused his death. MT.
