TWO CHARGED
WITH MURDER.
Arthur Turner And Wife Are Now Be-
hiHd Prison Bars.
CRIME ALMOST FORGOTTEN.
After Three Long Years The Tragic Death
OF Lone Widow on the Mountain
Near POcahOntas Is

On December 14th, 1905. Eliza Read.
a widow, who lived short distance
west of Pocahontas was brutally mur-
dered in her home. She lived alone.
and had been receiving large sums of
money from the Pocahontas Galleries
Company as royalty for coal mined on
her land. The murder was committed
on Thursday night, but was not dis
covered until the following Sunday.
One day last week Arthur Turner,
colored, and his wife, Mile. were ar
rested in West Virginia by R. F. Slater,
a detective who is in charge of the
Baldwin Detective Agency in that field,
and brought to Pocahontas, charged
with the offense. Turner and his wife
lived in the neighborhood when the
murder was committed, and were ar
rested short time after its occurrence,
but discharged for lack of sufficient evil
dence to hold them. On Thursday of
last week they had a preliminary trial
before the Police Justice of Pocahontas,
who sent them on for an investigation
by grand jury of Tazewell county.
They are now confined in the Jail at this
place.
A short time after the murder, Ben
jamin Read, brother of the woman,
was arrested upon suspicion Of being
the murderer, and was indicted, but,
after an investigation by the Common
wealth's Attorney for Tazewell county,
a nolle prosequi was entered by the
Commonwealth.
1t seems that Benjamin Read has ever
since been determined to hunt down the
guilty party or parties. He employed
the detective who arrested Turner and
wife. and at his earnest request the
Commonwealth's Attorney is now pros
ecuting the case. We are informed
that the evidence against the Turner's
is of a purely circumstantial nature,
but the Commonwealth regards it as a
very strong chain.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The Lynchburg News says it is glad
that Hearst has deserted Mr.. Bryan. If
the News will consult Mr.. Bryan it will
get another view of the situation. Mr..
Hearst's desertion of Democracy will
cost Bryan hundreds of thousands of
votes.
The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot says:
Mr.. Bryan's proposal to board Mr..
Kern at the White House was a Joke.
OF course" Yes, a huge joke. He
would hardly be able to secure board at
the White House" for either himself
or MIR. Kern under its present occupant
or its next proprietor, William Howard
Taft.
The Alexandria Gazette says: "The
Democrats of the Ninth District are a
sorry lot. They will put up no candi-
date of their own, nor will they support
any independent candidate who opposes
Mr.. Slemp." The trouble is that no
prominent Democrat is willing to be put
up to be defeated, and they all know
that is what they would have to suffer.
Mr.. Bryan has requested and author
lied Don Farnsworth, of Chicago, to
organize colored Bryan Democratic
Clubs in the States of Indiana. Illinois
and Ohio. How does this strike the
Democratic press of Virginia? They
have been wont to shout ''nigger" at
the Republicans. Now, gentlemen, Just
continue to shout for Bryan and further
emphasize your insincerity.
We would like to know what the
Richmond Times-Dispatch, the News
Leader, the Norfolk virginian-Pilot
and the Petersburg Index-Appeal think
OF that begging communication Messrs.
Bryan and Kern have addressed to the
farmers of the country. What do you
think of the propriety and good taste of
the Democratic candidates, over their
own signatures, sending out such an
appeal to one class of citizens?
Judge Taft, Presidential candidate of
the Republican party has declared that:
1.-The National Republican Committee
will accept no contributions from cor
porations. He has also said that the
law of New York providing for public
ity of campaign contributions will be
obeyed by the National Republican
Committee. When Judge Taft says he
is going to have thing done, it will be
done The public has confidence in his
word, and he is worthy Of such conf
dence.
The Democrats of the Ninth District
seem reluctant to put up a candidate
against c. B. Slemp, who is to be the
Republican nominee. We admire the
discretion of the Democrats of the
Ninth. But even If Mr.. Slemp is unop-
posed the Republicans of the Ninth will
see that Taft and Slemp get the largest
vote that has ever been polled for the
party under the new constitution. There
will be no stay-at-home Republicans at
the coming election.
Says the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot:
Political leaders are born not made, >
is one of the sententious aphorisms with
which Hon. "Fingy" Conners, of New
York, has favored a newspaper corre-
spondent. 1t would be for the good of
the country if Providence would so ar
range that fewer leaders of the "Fingy"
type should be born" We agree with
our Norfolk contemporary. If Provi-
dence should so arrange, as suggested by
the Virginian-Pilot, the Democratic
party would soon be without its most
popular and effective type of leaders,
and would die without such leaders.

WHERE THANKS is DUE.

Each and every member of the
local ball team is entitled to bunch
of thanks for his work this summer.
Practically all the players are engaged
in work down town, some for their
own benefit and some for others.
They have left their work and made
long trips to other towns, played
hard games at home and away and
have taken the roasts of the fans with
the same characteristic good nature
they have evidenced in receiving
praise for their better work. In the
way of compensation they have re-
ceived nothing other than the pleasure
of upholding the fair name of their
home town. 1t may have all looked
joyful and pleasant from the grand
stand but there are other views. The
home team got eight victories and
four defeats during the season. All
four of the defeats were administered
by teams that were the recipients of
severe drubbings at the hands of the
locals in other games of the summer.
White Bird was twice loser and Nez
Perez got the small end of the score
in three games. Vollmer, Kamiah
and Cottonwood also lost to the
home bunch. Cottonwood and Nez
Perez were shut out, to 0 and IL
to 0, respectively. Grangeville was
shut out at Kamiah, Cottonwood and
two games with Nez Perez bringing
the other three defeats. IT. a pretty
clean record and the ball boys are
responsible for it.

A TEMPERANCE ARGUMENT.

| am a farmer and ] raise rye.
One day | took bushel of my rye
down to the distiller and sold it to
him for so cents. The distiller got
out of that bushel of rye three and
one-half gallons of proof whisky
(although hear now that he can get
four gallons out of bushel), which
he sold to the saloon keeper.
| then started in with the saloon
keeper to drink up my bushel of rye
at 10 cents drink, eight drinks to a
pint, or 80 cents for pint, or So. 40
for a gallon. The three and one
half gallons of poof whisky which
my SO cent bushel of rye made had
cost me So. 40. | had to sell
enough rye to the distiller to get
money to pay the saloon keeper.
When | hauled my forty-four and
four-ffths bushels of rye to the dis
tiller to pay for what he had got on,
of one bushel said to myself, "Whal
a fool | was!" Is there another
farmer as big a fool as l VAST

SOME STATE NEWS.
A Few Things of Interest Concerning the
''Gem of the Mountains"


A case of sunstroke was recently
reported from the Troy section. 1t is
said to be the only case of that kind
ever known here.
A new 30-passenger Concord stage
coach is being used on the Idaho
Stage company's line at Meadows.
1t is one of the finest vehicles of the
kind in use in the west
c. B. Irwin recently sold 100
head of yearling sheep and 26, 900
pounds of wool at WeiSer. The sale
netted Mr.. Irwin over $4,000. He
still has 1000 head of ewes and
yearlings.
H. l.. Benton has been appointed
postmaster at the new town of Ben
ton, which is situated about twelve
miles from Forest. The new town
is in thriving locality and the post
Office will accommodate large num-
Der of people.
An To man recently caught four
sturgeon in the Snake river IL miles
above Lewiston, the fish aggregating
HOO pounds. The largest fish
weighed 400 pounds. The fisher
man used rope for lines and tied
them fast to trees.
Two rigs went over the embank-
ment near Lawyers canyon during
the celebration last week. Both
vehicles were reduced to kindling
wood. One of the rigs belonged to
party from Nez Perez and had been
in use but few days.
Deputy Game Warden Ludwig
Roper, of Occur d Alene, in his June
report states that he sold $40 fishing
licenses during the month, making al
most 1000 he has sold during May
and June. This exceeds the same
months of 1907 by fully IS per cent.
A crew of forest reserve men are
building trail from the town of
Meadows to the Squaw meadows.
$1,000 has been appropriated for the
construction of the trail, which will
be used by stockmen and members of
the fire patrol. 1t is 40 miles long.
The citizens of Elk City have
organized for better municipal pro-
lection and have chosen L. A. Paint
er for justice of the peace and A.
w. Davis as night watch. Plans to
build Jail are also under way. Oh
late much rowdyism has occurred in
the town.
John Lauterbach, of Kendrick, is
shipping 300 crates of strawberries
daily to Montana markets at good
prices. Kendrick will ship $500 to
5000 boxes of berries this year, while
cherry shipments would be larger il
prices were better. The cherry crop
is large and the quality excellent.
/ The first forest fires of the season
in the Occur d. Alene national forest
broke out last week, three in number,
and in widely separated parts of the
reserve. Much damage has already
been done, particularly to the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad
company, which has lost two con-
struction camps.

WESTERN BANKS ARE SOUND.

1t is an interesting and gratifying
fact to note that from October /,
1907, to June |, 1908, a period in
which occurred one of the most
severe financial depressions the United
States has experienced in fifty years,
just four national banks west of the
Rocky mountains were closed by the
government. This alone is good.
but there is better news to follow.
Three of the closed Institutions were
reopened later without loss and with

The contractors who are building
the Inland Empire electric railroad
from Spokane to Moscow are within
a few miles of the latter place and
will complete the grade work soon.
Work will begin on the terminal
yards at Moscow next week and a
contract for the erection of the depot
will be let soon. 1t is said that
$50, 900 will be expended on the
Moscow depot and terminals.

but little inconvenience to depositors.
And, further, not one national bank
in California, Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Montana, Utah or Nevada
was forced out of business by the
stringency. 1t speaks worlds for the
soundness of the banking houses of
the west.
