Ed. Baker, a Former Resident
Here, Suicides at Colfax.
THE CAUSE NOT KNOWN
Burt Baker, His Brother, Left
Here on Sundays Train.

Burt Baker, who holds a position
with the Cobbs-Miller grocery firm
at this place, received telegraphic
message Saturday night that his broth
er, Ed. Baker had taken his own life
at Colfax, and for him to come at
once. He left on Sunday mornings
train in response to the sad message.
No particulars were given, but we
gather from the dispatches the follow
ing:
Baker came to Colfax Saturday
afternoon and engaged a room in the
lodging house oyer Coryelps saloon
on main street. He was formerly
resident of Colfax, but of late with
his wife, and 7-year old daughter,
has been living with Oscar O'Kelly
on farm nine miles southeast of
Colfax After engaging the room,
Baker came into Coryell's S saloon and
bought bottle of beer and asked the
porter for small glass. He then
went to his room and poured three
ounces of carbolic acid into the beer
and drank it,
Thompson, a cook who was in an
adjoining room heard him mixing
and drinking the decoction, but had
no idea anything was wrong until he
heard the stricken man cry out with
pain For Gods sake help me, am
dying"
But thinking it was some one un-
der the influence of liquor replied
that he could not assist him, as he
was dressing; but when Baker again
called to him and said, Get some
one to write letter for me before
|. am Dead" he ran into the room and
found him lying on the floor in the
last throes of death, and before ply
sician could be summoned the unfor.
tunate man had expired.
Deceased was for time a residen
of Grangeville, and is we'll known
here. His only blood relation her,
. is his brother, Burt Baker.

kind. I wish every member of this
House had a copy of the Revised Stat

it does do. The prohbitory law is con-
tanned in Chapter % of the Revised
Statutes. This is a bill to repeal por-
ticn of Section l of Chapter 1856, which
chaptcr has TO relation whatever to
the prohibitory law, excepting indi-
rcCtlv 1t has been argued against this

discretion in regard to Furnishing Vio-

instances by writing in for the penalty
for single sale. for instance, fine and
imprisonment. That Legislature acted
deliberately. Those legislators making
those changes acted in good faith.

NOMINEE FOR MAYOR OF
NEW YORK ACCUSES HEARST
OF BREACH OF FAITH.

New York, Oct. l0.-In a state
ment issued today William J. Gaynor,
Democratic nominee for Mayor Of
New York attacked William r. Hearst
charging breach of faith Last week
Hearst issued a staten Mt that he
would not run for mayo, but would
support Gaynor. Two days later he
accepted an Independent nomination.
Gayn0rs statement tonight de-
clares that Hearst urged him to run
for mayor nearly six months ago, ION
any ticket, and pledged his support.
Mr.. Hearst now repudiates the
league party, says the statement
"and is having himself nominated by
petition against me His great estate
of fifty million dollars gives him
huge advantage over me in one re
spect, but am ready to meet him be
fore the people of New York. With
all his money and newspapers and

Hearst tonight gave out state
lment answering Gaynor. He said:
If Judge Gaynor has stated that |
promised to support him under all
circumstances, and on all tickets, he
states what is positively untrue.
viii try to assume that he is honestly
mistaken, but it is difficult for ne
to do so, as the proposition is so i'm
possible it bears reputation on its
face.
Judge Gaynor has been to me
merely the representative of certain
ideas, the exponent of certain prin-
