TERRIFIC REVOLVER DUEL
Two Miners Make Targets OF Each
Other and One Is Dead.

Two Miners Make Targets OF Each
Other and One Is Dead.
GRANGEvILLE. Idaho. April %.
Richard Hambly, a miner, was
shot and instantly killed at Warrens,
Idaho. last night, after a terrific re-
volver duel with his partner, Steve
Winchester, the battle taking place
in a remote little mining town near
Marshal Lake, Idaho, 60 miles south
east of Grangeville. Hambly and
Winchester had been working a min
ing claim near Warrens for several
months, but business differences
have caused frequent Quarrels. the
last and most bitter terminating in
the pistol duel, which was witnessed
by Frank Van Deventer, a deputy
sheriff. who was powerless to inter
fere in the duel, In which each man
exchanged four shots. At the crack
of the fourth shot Hambly fell, NOR
tally wounded, while Winchester was
unscathed, according to the report
sent to Sheriff William Brown.
Winchester was taken into custody
by Van Deventer, who placed the
slayer under arrest, and communi-
Gated with Sheriff Brown. He re-
ceived orders to proceed with his
prisoner to Grangeville, where he will
be locked in the county Jail pending
trial.
Warrens is an isolated mining
town near Marshal Lake, Idaho, in
the Salmon river district. and hard
two days trip from Grangeville un-
der best conditions.
Van Deventer, the deputy sheriff,
reached Warrens Sunday after a
weeks trip, and while transacting
business he became an eyewitness to
the revolver duel, which he was pow
erless to stop. He will bring his
prisoner out over the same long trail
over which he travelled in reaching
town, and he is not expected in
Grangeville until next Tuesday.
Although connected by telephone.
Warrens is practically cut on from
Grangeville, as messages must be re-
peated several times, which accounts
for the meager report of the killing.
Both men are well known in Grange
vile, where they purchased their
supplies. Nothing is known, so far
as can be ascertained. of the family
of the dead miner.

fully realize that this is the one ques-

their polygamous practices and teach

of the American home-the purest

earth-and they are determined to

Spokane and Wallace People Are
Looking Up Location

If the plans of certain parties from
Wallace and Spokane-who for busi-
ness reasons do not at present desire
to have their names mentioned-ma-
ture, Occur d'Alene will have a race
track and fair in readiness for this
fall.
A representative of the interested
parties was in the city yesterday
looking over the situation and indi-
Gated that he had found conditions
very favorable. and that unless some
thing unforeseen arose a track would
be built and arrangements made for
races and a fair this fall. Yesterday
was spent by the representative in
viewing different pieces of ground ly-
ing adjacent to the town for a track
A number were found suitable to the
purpose, and selection of one of
this number has practically been
made. The representative departed
today to confer with his associates
and will return In a few days, when
steps will be taken looking to the
establishment OF the track and the
various other things attendant up
on IT.
1t is the plan of the parties 10
conduct in conjunction with the races
a fair, and an effort will probably be
made to have the state fair held in
the city at the time Occur d'Alene
Is ideally situated for this fair, and
ideally situated for a race track. and

both than any other city in northern
Idaho II would mean that were the
two institutions established in the
city that all Of the northern territory
would patronfze It. and at the same
time they would be able TO draw or
Spokane and the territory lying ad.
jacent to IL, as the fair and races
would be held at a time when nc
conflict would be made with the fail
and races at that place.

Industries where there is heavy work
to be- done.
Oklahoma is shy ON mules and there

raised II is too short a span back
to the days of the cowboy and the big
range when the mule was despised

was followed by that period a few
years ago when the advent OF the au-

impression to be- spread that the day
of the horse and mule were number

t.w oklahoma farmers have bred for
mules of the kind now So much in

In this state there are two general
classes of mules one is the big
