Some Idaho County History Recalled.

Boise Capital News: Mrs. Harry
Shissler, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Frank
Shissler, both of Grangeville, Idaho
county, and Mrs. Bradley, Of San Fran
cisco. are Boise visitors. Mrs. Bradley
is a sister of Mrs. Frank Shissler. and
mother of the prominent mining man,
Bradley. who figured so conspicuously
m the late Haywood-Moyer-P ettibone
trial Mrs. Bradley endeared herself
to the Idaho volunteers during the
Spanish-American war by her many
courteous attentions to them while they
were in San Francisco going and com
ing.
Mrs. Frank Shissler is one of the
pioneers of Idaho county, having moved
there with her husband in 1865. She is
thoroughly identified with the pioneer
history of that county.
Mrs. Harry Shissler, when little
girl, suffered grievous loss in the
murder of her father, Samuel Benedict,
during the Nezperce Indian war on
Camas prairie, under the celebrated
chief, Joseph. The family was living
at White Bird or near there at the out
break of that war and were attacked
by struggling bands of Indians. The
father was killed, but the remainder of
the family escaped, Mrs. Benedict car
rying her infant child many miles until
she was picked up by man on horse
back and taken into Mt. Idaho where
she was cared for. The other children
reached Mt. Idaho later.
George Shearer, brother of Mrs.
Shissler and Mrs. Bradley. was one Of
the immortal nineteen who stood off
the entire Indian force under Joseph at
Cottonwood. They were sent out to
relieve Colonel Perry who was reported
to be hemmed in by the Indians. The
men under Colonel Perry heard the
shooting and saw part Of the heroic
struggle the pioneer scouts were max
ing in their behalf, but for some reason
unexplained at the time but attempted
later by the colonel during his trial by
court martial and which did not salts
factorily explain.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES..
Idaho's Senatorial Election.


The state Of Oregon went republican
at the late election, but Chaspberlain,
who is not republican, was nominated
for the United states senate. A few
of the disgruntled ones have attempted
to override the Will CT the people by
having the legislature select another
man. but the move has, been blocked by
the cool heads, and Chamberlain, who
is the choice of the voters, viii go to
the senate.
In Idaho we have a case where the
people expressed preference through
the primary The man who is their
choice is of the same political faith as
the majority Of the voters of the
state, as indicated by election returns,
and in Idaho few of the supposed po-
ltical leaders are trying to thwart the
will of the voters by sending 10 the
United States senate man who was
not mentioned for the place before
election.
Oregon stands by the returns of the
election, and by so doing the effective
ness Of the primary system is proven
that through the primary the voters
get their choice Of men.
Senator Hepburn should be returned
to the senate. because he is the peoples
choice. But Senator Hepburn and the
republican party Of Idaho find them
selves in q very peculiar situation at
this time. If Senator Hepburn is re-
turned to the senate it will be the pri-
mary, which has in the senator its
strongest and most rf.entless foe, that
will have saved him. On the other
hand, the republican party is pledged
to give Idaho a direct primary election
law, and, conditions as they are, if w.
b. Heyburn, the choice Of the voters,
is not sent 10 the senate, the sponsors
for the primary viii themselves prove
the weakness Of the system.
Politics aside, IDAHO ought TO show
itself as honorable as Oregon.
