CONTEST FILED
IN ShOShONE
DEFEATED CANDIDATE FILES
CHARGES OF FRAUD AGAINST
ELECTION OFFICIALS OF MACE
PRECINCT.

Wallace. Ida, Nov. 24.-Another
contest was filed this morning in
connection with the Shoshone coun-
ty election, in which Erwin Geise, .
Democrat, seeks to set aside the
election of w. H. Herrick, Republi-
can, to the Office of county assessor.
The official returns of the election
gave Herrick majority of So. and
Geise seeks to throw out the entire
vote cast in Mace precinct, which
gave a Republican majority Of we'll
over 200. In this connection Geise
claims that one official ballot was
taken from the polling booth and
marked outside. This was handed to
voter who took 1t into the polling
place and cast it as marked. at the
same time bringing out with him a
ballot handed to him by the Clerk.
This was again marked and handed
to another voter and cast and the
same process was repeated no less
than Is times. Geise claims that
this was engineered by men who
had heavy bets on the result Of the
election and that when the ballot
boxes were finally closed and II was
found that there was one vote short
on account Of the Official ballot kept
outside to be marked. that the
Judges OF the election then allowed
the ballot box to be opened and one
straight Republican vote to be cast
tc make all totals balance.

VERDICT Was
mot GUILTY.
WAS SECURED ON FIRST BALLOT
BY UNANIMOUS VOTE-AN.
OTHER MYSTERIOUS MURDER
IS UNSOLVED.

Nancy Bachus Is free woman.
the jury last evening, on the first bal
lot, having voted that she was mot
guilty" of the charge on which she
had been tried-the murder OF her
husband, J. M. Bachus. The defend
ant displayed great weariness. and
appeared almost in state OF col
lapse yesterday afternoon, and still
appeared in a dazed condition when
led away by her friends after the an
nouncement of the verdict last even
ing. The Jury was out less than a
half hour, and was unanimous in the
decision rendered on the first ballot.
The foul murder of j. M. Bachus,
whose body was found on the night
of September 4, 1908, with skull
crushed and a bullet through the
brain. charred and burned by the fire
that had destroyed his home, will
now be added to the list OF other
murder mysteries that have baffed
the authorities of Nez Perce county
and the perpetrators never brought
to Justice. g.
This Is unique In that the wife
was accused Of the deed, and after
she had sought to fasten 1t first upon
Russell Mccall and second upon w.
u. Anderson, next confessed that
she did the deed, but In the confes-
sion gave so many conflicting de-
tails that the officers were not able
to produce corroborating evidence,
but strong suspicion and the cir
cumstances that centercd about the
events OF the fateful evening were
against the defendant, and the legal
battle that was waged in the trial
Of the case will long remain nota-
hle incident in the criminal record OF
Nez Perce county.

racing POOLS
open IN CITY
POOLROOMS "MOST DEMORALIZ.
ING FORM OF GAMBLING"
SAYS BUSINESS MAN-EFFORT
TO STOP THEM TO BE MADE.

The pool rooms where bets on the
California races are invited were
opened in Lewiston yesterday and
those through whose veins the snort
ing blood courses and who have ex-
perienced a lethargy since the clos
ing of gambling and the removal of
the slot machines will again revel In
the existence Of resort where they
can get action on their money.
The pool rooms were first estab-
lished in Lewiston three years ago,
and during the season of the Cali
fornia racing large sums of money
have been lost and won on the re-
suits of the fieeting ponies.
When the gambling was closed in
Lewiston about two weeks ago the
sports became good patrons at the
slot machine counters, but when the
slot machines went by the board a
few days later there was no place
left where money could be wagered
on a chance. The opening OF the
pool rooms has relieved the situa-
ton. and because Of the inactivity
at other resorts, the Lewiston field
should be especially lucrative this
season.
The only embarrassment now con-
fronting the pool room management
is the position taken by number OF
prominent business men, who re-
gard the pool room as gambling
re sort. and have stated they would
take action to see that this form
Of gambling, as we'll as the cards and
slot machines, is suppressed.
"The pool room is the most de-
moralizing form Of gambling In the
country today" said prominent
business man this morning, "and II
the slot machine and other gambling
are to be eliminated, why not admin
lister the law impartially and close
the pool rooms?
"The suppression Of gambling is
the result Of the action Of the Lew
iston business men who believed the
condition about the city needed i'm
movement, and the same forces VIII
be brought to bear on the pool room
and the administration of the gam
bling law"

LEADS STRENUOUS LIFE.
Roosevelt BusiIy at Work in Field and
Woods.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 2.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in the first ten days
of his vacation, has succeeded in doing
considerable work in the fields and
woods on his grounds at Sycamore
Hill, besides entertaining many Wis
itors and holding conferences with Mr..
Taft. His activity never halts. If
there is no work on the grounds of his
estate he spends his time in reading
or In recreation in the form of tennis,
riding, swimming or rowing. Splendid
weather though somewhat warm, has
favored the president during the ten
days of his vacation.
About the presidents home on Sag
amore Hin are several fields which
this year grew good crops of hay.
Taking advantage of the fine weather
for the haymaking the president went
out into the fields and helped to do
the moving and raking and loading
the hay.
The hay crop having been harvested
the president has turned his attention
to the clearing of a stretch of woods,
comprising about forty acres, recently
purchased by him to enlarge his es-
tate. With his axe on his shoulder,
accompanied by an attendant, also
with an axe, the president started out
for few hours work at tree chopping
before receiving some guests who had
been invited to come to Sycamore
Hill for luncheon.

GETS IN THE GAME EARLY
Democratic Congressional Committee
Issues Handbook.

Washington. July 2.-The Demo
cratic congressional committee has
broken its record in the issuance of a
handbook four months before the pres
idential election. This publication
contains, in nearly 400 pages, extracts
of speeches made in congress during
the last session, most of them during
the month preceding the adjournment.
The issuance of this publication is an
innovation on the part of the commit
tee and is in line with similar pub
lication put out by the Republican con-
gressional committee four years ago.
1t is the work of Representative Lloyd
of Missouri, chairman of the congress
sional committee, and composed ex.
clusively of congressional speeches
and consequently can be franked by
members OF congress.
After the Denver convention has
been held the national Democratic
committee will issue Its regular hand
book as usual The present pubhca
tion by the congressional committee,
however, is of special interest In de-
fining what it is believed at this time
will be the issues of the campaign.
Republican extravaganza" is ap
parently to be the keynote of the cam
paign, as 1t is given the first place In
the handbook. Representative Fitz
gerald of New York and Senator Gull
berson of Texas provided the material
for this chapter in their speeches de.

man of the national Republican CON-

Bay by automobile, accompanied by
William l.. Ward, committeeman from
this state, and had an interview with
President Roosevelt. He was smiling
as he left Sycamore Hill and appeared
to be much pleased over his talk with
the president. After the conference
at Sycamore Hill Mr.. Kellogg called
on Secretary Loeb at the executive
Offices in Oyster Bay.
Mr.. Kellogg's trip to Oyster Bay
was made unannounced. His absence
from the Standard Oil hearing, how
ever, occasioned some remark and it
was believed that the business respon-
sible for his non-appearance was con-
