On the Second page of the Jeffersonian Of

to repudiate the name, if we are true Demo-

Life is cheap. If you doubt it, look at the
stories of disaster in the mines of this country
during the past three weeks Over 500 men
have persisted in the recesses of the earth as
the result of explosions in three different coal
mines. Can you think of what suffering that
means? Five hundred men represent probably
at least 1000 dependent upon them, who are
thus suddenly robbed of their bread-winners,
and whose homes are darkened with the ter
rble shadow Of tragically sudden death.
Life is cheap. It is probably true that there
will always be danger in mining, that risk can
not be wholly eliminated; but it is not con-
ceivable that in this twentieth century of in
vention and discovery it is necessary to supply
the nation with coal at such tremendous cost.
We are forced to the belief that many such
disasters might be averted if proper precau-
tions were taken, and all mines were properly
equipped with the best safety appliances.
UnhappiIy while this is century Of in
vention and discovery, it is also century of
indifference to human life in the pursuit Of
the dollar Life is cheap. It will be easy
to find 500 more men to take the place Of
those who died at Monongah week ago, and
Monday at Yolande, near Birmingham, Ala.
It is cheaper to hire new men than to install
safety appliances and take the necessary care
to prevent accidents.
The government ought to interfere, you say,
The government does interfere. It requires
certain things to be done, and it appoints In
spectors and officials to see that they are
done; but the field to be covered is wide and
there are many ways of escaping from strict
obedience to the law for the man who wants
to. Not until the mine operators are made to
feel their personal responsibility for the safety
of the men whom they employ will it be pos
sible to secure full measure of protection.
= That realization can only come in one of two
ways. Either by sudden development Of the
altruistic spirit to degree not usually found
in mine operators; or by campaign Of prose-
cuton on the part of the law against all men
on whose property accidents happen that can
in any way be ascribed to negligence. The
latter way will probably prove to be the
quicker and more effective under present cir
cumstances.-LOuisville Herald.

ALFALFA SEED PAYING CROP
RancherS in Hagerman Valley Re-
aIiZing Big Returns

Last Monday, SaTnuel D. Briggs ard
his sister, Mrs. Otis E. Syster Of Aus
tin and Clear Lake in the Snake River
CANYON above the Hagenman valley,
were attending to probate business be-
fore Judge Fuller relating to the estate
of their mother, Mrs. Mary E Briggs
whose death occurred on Sept. 2Sth,
aged So years. Mr.. Briggs had time
while in the Journal office TO answer a
few questions about the success Of the
ranchers of the Snake River Canyon in
raising alfalfa seed for the market
His reply to the question as to how
many dollars per acre alfalfa seed sells
for was rather startling for the figures
wele rs to so dollars an acre for the
seed alone. Some ranchers let the
first crop go to seed and it could not be
cut till late in the season. too late for
crop of hay to mature. But others
cut the first crop for hay and let the
second crop go TO seed and the seed
was full as good as where only one crop
was cut. Where two crops were cut
one of which was seed the total value
of the seed, hay and straw would aver
age one hundred dollars an acre and
that is not so bad even for the Snake
River Canyon country of which much
is expected Mr.. Briggs stated that
one of the most successful of the Hager-
man valley ranchers sold his alfalfa
seed last year for one hundred dollars
an acre. In view of these facts the
question naturally arises what should
be the value of land that produces a
crop of one hundred dollars an acre.
Now it is not every man who makes a
success of raising alfalfa seed for
market and experience shows that the
ground gets too thickly seeded after
two OF three years to enable the seed
to ripen, but by beeomitg familiar with
all the conditions and making proper
rotation OF crops a large portion of
farm can be made to yeiId the hundred
iollar limit nearly every season And
what the value of such land viii be is
lot a matter of conjecture.

was given them with a verdict Of mur
der in the first degree.
The law has been vindicated, but if
it should be conclusively shown that
Fleming is insane at the present time,
there IS nothing to prevent his being
sent to the asylum instead Of the gal
lows.
One Of the strongly sensational feat
ures Of the trial, or rather outside Of
the trial, was the arraigning Of Mrs
Fleming before Probate Judge Fuller
on charge Of insanity. This occurred
on Friday and was undertaken by sew
eraI Of the neighbors Of the Flenings
to save any further tragedies in the
neighborhood
That Mrs. Fleming was insane they
had no doubt, and they did not wish to
stand the risk of her using the rifle she
was so handy with in evening up i'm
aginary scores when she returned from
the trial
The evidence of her insanity was so
conclusive that Judge Fuller committed
her at once and she was taken to the
asylum at Blackfoot, Sunday evening.

Jury Finds Fleming Guilty
of Murder in the
First Degree
Decision Reached in One Hour
Sentence Will be Pronounced
On Monday Of Next Week

The trial of John Fleming for the
murder of Frank Lsngford in the dis
trict court last week was sensational
ard dramatic and attracted the atten-
ton of the whole country.
The case was stubbornly fought and
it was not the fault of the Judge ]. c.
Rogers and John PEBBLES that their
client was found guilty of murder in
the first degee.
The case put up by Frank T. Disney
and Judge E. NJ Wolf was without a
flaw and the closing argument by Judge
Wolf was mastery effort for clear,
logical and convincing presentation Of
the case from the standpoint of the
prosecution.
The evidence of the state was posi-
tive and conclusive regarding the shoot
ing of Langford by Fleming ard the
admission of the prisoner to several
witnesses Immediately after the shoot
ing that he had killed Langford, re-
moved all doubt as to his intention to
do the deed.
Nothing whatever was introduced by
the defence to show that Fleming stood
in the least fear Of Langford, so the
plea of self defense was eliminated
from the case.
AS to the plea of insanity which was
the main reliance of the defense, the
evidence. was too conflicting and con
trodictory to raise reasonable doubt
in the minds of the jury.
The consideration shown by the
court to all parties appearing in the
case, the prompt and just rulings given
on all matters of law brought before
him for decision, the quiet and orderly
procedure maintained throughout the
daily sessions, and the just and ex-
haustive charge to the jury at the close
of the trial, have won for Judge E. A.
Walters the commendation of all having
to do with the case.
The facts briefly stated are that the
two neighbors, Fleming and Langford
INnlS dOOut SCsCl4 AtoiA
north west of Rupert, had q dispute
about joint work on an irrigating ditch
and came to blows on May 80, 1907
In that encounter Fleming got severe
pounding. and the injury ranked in
his mind and called for revenge.
On the evening of July sth, 1908,
Fleming delibertly laid in wait for
Langford to approach within rifle range
as he was driving home from neigh
bors. The murderer was concealed in
a patch of alfalfa by the roadside not
far from his own home.
A single shot was sufficient for the
purpose and Langford fell from the
wagon dead man.
Fleming went to his house, put up
the rifle, changed clothes, started for
Rupert to give himself up and told sew
eral neighbors on the way that he had
killed Langford
The trial lasted all of the week with .
day and night sessions, and the jury re
turned to the court room within an
hour after the charge of the Judge 4
