The Irish standard., 1908-02-29

The English press and English poli-
ticians are making extraordinary ef-
forts to magnify cattle driving kind
Of political diversion carried on i'm GER
tain parts of -Ireland-into a grave
crime, a crime revolving to civilization.
Those who seek to besmirch ireland
even assert that trial by jury is a farce
and that witness and jurors are intimi-
dated. In a word. it is sought to make
the world believe'that life and property
are unsafe in Ireland at the present
time.
The truth shown about the cattle
driving is, that they are unattended by
violence or bloodshed, and beyond dis
persing the cattle at distance from
the ranches, nobody is injured in per-
son or property OF course, this diver
sion is not legal, but it is very difiicult
to obtain evidence against the trans
gressors, as the people are generally
sympathetic, and the drives take place
at night. The Liberal government, not
satisfied with the ordinary machinery
of the law, obtained change of venue
in several instances. Men charged with
unlawful assembly in Roscommon and
ether western counties were tried by a
struck jury in Dublin and the Dublin
Castle prosecutors were beaten in THEFT
own chosen ground. No jury, not even
a Castle jury, can convict without evil
dence. 1t would be as reasonable to
claim that trial by jury is a failure in
America because New York jury fail
ed to convict Thaw, as to claim that
the institution has broken down in Ire
land because jurors refuse to convict
on insufficient evidence. There is NO
foundation for the statement that wit
nesses have been intimidated.
Before accusing the Irish of crimes
it would be well for their calun1niators
to put their own house in order. The
statistics of crime already quoted
prove that the Pharisees arc more
criminal than the Publicans. The riots
rowdyism and brutality that marked
the progress of the recent bye-election
in mid-Devonshire is not very pleasant
reading for those who eternally talk
of what is termed anglo Saxon" civil
ization. This election terminated in
murder and bloodshed, local leader
was killed. women were stoned and
trampled. meeting halls and clubs were
wrecked, and a reign of terror pre-
vailed. This took place. not in Russia
or Macedonia but in "Merrie England >

dtdates as we'll as public questions
should be discussed without having re.
course to the bludgeon and the cobble-
stone. Women should receive a little
more consideration from the sterner
sex. 1t is not at all creditable to the
English people that in this twentieth
century they cannot conduct elections
without recurrence to murder, riots
and destruction of property

LEWISTON. Idaho, Sept. 1O.-one
of the Northern Pacific railroad COM
pany's buffet car may be seized by
the government and the porter in
charge placed under arrest on a
charge of introducing liquor on the
Nez Perez Indian reservation, as
Special Officer Sam Gone says he Sc
cured evidence by buying both beer
and whisky on the car while the train
was on the reservation.
Several weeks ago, when Special
Officer Cone was raiding the booze
joints on the reservation, he asys
he found that the Hill railroad was
also bootlegging liquor and the at
tention of the head of the Indian de-
partment was called to the violation.
The government, 1t is said, notified
the officials a the railroad that they,
too, must obey the law and since
then the booze chests have been
locked while the car was on the reser-
walton.
As soon as Special Officer Cone
reached here he notified Federal At
torney c. H. Lingenfelter OF Boise,
and it is expected that the car will
be seized by his order on its next trip
to Lewiston. Mr. Cone has been Con-
Quoting raid on the Flathead reser-
walton in Montana, where he secured
sufficient evidence to hold IA men
to the federal grand jury. He will
leave here as soon as he receives ad-
vices from Attorney Lingenfelter.

JUDGE HARGIS KILLED BY Son
Famous Feudist, Accused of Many Muir
ders, Is Shot Down in His
Own Store.

Jackson, KY, Feb. 8. Former
County Judge James Hargis, for many
years a member of the state Demo
cratic committee, accused of compile
ity in many murders, and a prominent
figure in the feuds which have disrupt
ed Breathitt county for several years
was shot and instantly killed in his
general store here yesterday afternoon
by his son, Beach Hargis. The sor
fired five shots in rapid succession at
his father, who fell dead while his
clerks were waiting on customers. The
exact cause of the murder has not
been learned, but it is supposed tC
have been the result of differences
which have existed between father
and son for some time.
Son Was Drunk.
The two men are reported to have
had a severe quarrel several nights
ago, when the father, it is alleged, was
compelled to resort to violence TO re.
strain his son. Young Hargis. it is
said, has been drinking heavily of late
He came into the store late yesterday
afternoon and was apparently under
the influence of liquor. Judge Hargis
it Is said, spoke to his son about his
drinking and a quarrel resulted. Fa
Their and son stepped behind a counter
in the store, when the son, after only
a few minutes conversation, drew 8
revolver and fired five shots. -Four
took effect, the noted mountain charac
ter falling dead.
Selects His Own Casket.
Young Hargis was arrested by Town
Marshal Goran Smith and Grover
Blanton and placed in Jail. He was
raying like a maniac and the officers
were compelled to drag him to Jail.
Judge Hargis will be buried in q
casket which he himself purchased
about a month ago. Some time ago
during the early part of last month
Judge Hargis went to the National
Casket company and ordered a coffin
costing 81, 800.
About 4:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon the following telegram was re,
ceived by the company:
hApISSS lU-udy CdShtI SSlSCteu Dy
James Hargis, as he is dead.
Mrs. Judge James Hargis."
Judge Hargis has been for years q
prominent figure in Kentucky in pc.
litical and criminal circles. He has fig.
ured in the courts in the mountains
for years on account of the murders
of DR.. Cox, Attorney Marcum and Jim
Cockrill.
Hargis had been on trial at various
times for completely in the murder Of
James B. Marcum, Jim Cockrill and
DR.. Cox, but had secured an acquittal
on all the charges. He was recently
forced to pay a judgment of $4,000 to
Mrs. Marcum in connection with the
death of her husband, a verdict having
been found against him in the circuit
court at Winchester.
The Hargis-C ockrill feud, out OF
which grew the almost innumerable
tragedies with which Judge Hargis
name is linked, had its inception in a
political contest.
