WHIsKEY, ROW, MURDER

On Monday afternoon about four
O'Clock Jas. Elkhart who lives above
the Sugar Factory came down the
road with enough whiskey in him to
make him feel energetic, and on hear
ing that his enighbor, Matthias Louis
had said some disagreable things
about him, he went into the field
where Louis was irrigating and tack
led him about 1t. A scuffle followed
and Louis drew gun from his pock-
ct and struck his assailant across the
head. He probably struck again,
not reaching quite SO far, and the
gun discharged a bullet at the inner
corner Of Elkharts left eye, caus-
ing instant death.
Louis went to his house and await
ed the arrival of Deputy Sheriff H. G.
Bucklin, and the remains of Elkhart
were brought to town where an in
quest was held Tuesday by Coroner
Jos. Morely Of Idaho Falls.
Louis Is In jail, and will make a
plea OF self defense.
Mr.. Louis is the man we have men
toned frequently on account OF his
being in jail for wife-beating.
Only short time ago Elkhart
signed the local option petition say
ing that he could not resist the temp
tation to drink when he had chance,
and that when he drinks he makes
fool Of himself.

CLUB WANTS THEM
The Commercial Needs Samples OF
Products to Install Perma-
nent Exhibit.

At the meeting of the Commercial
Club Wednesday evening the matter
1 OF installing an exhibit of all kinds
of farm and orchard products was
taken up, and it was the unanimous
opinion that some cabinets should be
made in which to place grains and
grasses, and that the shelled grains
and fruits should be placed in glass
jars and tubes. The matter was
placed in the hands of the advertis-
| ing committee with Instructions to
make an exhibit that will enable Wis
itors who come here in winter to see
the products of the soil just as well
as II they came in summer or at fair
time.
The secretarys report showed the
club in good condition financially,
there being less than 5000 of un-
paid bills, and practically all of the
present quarters dues remaining as
an asset.
Several members complimented
Secretary Carruth for his promptness
in handling business matters as they
have come up. Regret was express
sed that the janitor had not been do
ing his work as well as members
wished, and there was some discus
sion as to the advisability of secur-
ing a sketch of old Fort Hall, or
rather the locality where it once was,
to be kept at the club rooms. The
matter of starting an exhibit of phot-
ographs in the club rooms was also
discussed, the purpose being to per-
petuate the scenes of the Diamond
Jubilee, as it might be the last time
such views could be obtained in the
state. These things might be used
to make fine historical collection
that would add much to the attrac-
tiveness of the whole xhibit, and one
that eastern people would be great
ly interested in.
Everybody who can assemble
good bundle .of grass or grain is re-
quested to do SO, taking about 1901
stalks or straws for a bundle, TAX
ing them up by the roots where pos
sible, and washing the dirt off care
fully, wrapping them well with a
stick through the center to keep them
in form and by which to hang the
bundle. Each bundle should be wrap
ped in number of places, and not
too tightly, not tight enough to crimp
the straws. Any form of hay, forage |
plants, grains, vegetables and fruits
that can be obtained and put into
form to keep in its natural appear
ance at maturity will add to the value |
Of the collection, and If everybody |
will take an interest in it we shall |
have a fine collection by the close of |
the season.
Exhibits should be delivered to the
club rooms under Hunters Store. The |
committee is anxious to secure tim
othy and alfalfa in bloom. Get the
very best plants the soil is capable
of producing.
Dry farm porducts should bear a
statement of when the plowing and
planting were done. Everything
should be labeled to show where it
was raised.

HNJOINED LOCAL OPTION PETI-
TION

Monday morning the commission
ers met and they were promptly en-
joined from taking any action on th,
local option petition. The order O
Injunction was obtained from Judg,
]. M. Stevens by John Brand of Idaht
4 Falls, through his attorney, B. J
Briggs, VIM. Sweeney and D. w
. Owen being his sureties, filing a bono
! for the sum Of $500. #
\ The action for injunction recites
the fact that a petition had been filet
praying for the calling OF an election
to determine by popular votes wheth.
er or not intoxicants should be sold
In Bingham county, and that in order
to enable the board to take such &C.
ton, at least forty per cent of the
! qualified electors of the county must
have signed the petition, giving their
Ipost office address. That one such pc
titiOn has been filed bearing the
names Of less than seventeen hundred
names of alleged qualified electors,
and that about 400 of them had not
given their post Office address, and
nearly 200 (giying the exact num-
bers), were not qualified electors of
this county. That another petition
had been filed bearing about 100
names (giving exact number, and set
ing up the same objections to it, and
stating that neither petition contained
forty per cent Of the names of voters.
They also cite the law saying that
any one petition must contain forty
per cent, etc.
or course they were entitled to
hearing in the case, and 1t must be
heard within ten days. The commiss
sioners usually-finish the session and
adjourn in about four or five days,
and this petition must be heard at
regular quarterly meeting. This move
delays the matter three months II the
temporary injunction is made perma-
nent.
Some of the facts that will be pre-
sented at the hearing are:
The petitions, containing many
headings, and bearing the signatures
of over three thousand four hundred
qualified electors, were combined into
one petition according to provision Of
the statute, and were filed as one pe-
tition, Jas. Duckworth and w. A.
Beakley supporting 1t with affidavits
as to its contents. Auditor Curtis re-
ceived and filed 1t as such, and in or
der to fasten them in one package,
went to the stapler to place two sta
pies through the top edge Of the docu-
ments. The stapler would not open
wide enough to admit all Of the mat
ter at once. and after reading the
provisions of the statute, they decided |
that 1t would be clearly within the |
purpose of the law to staple 1t in two |
packages, and accordingly this was
done, though one package was mark
ed number one, and the other was
marked number two, and they we're
stamped recorded at the same mo-
ment, giving the hour and minute,
and were placed together as one pc
.ition filed at the request of Jas.
Duckworth and w. A. Beakley.
In regard to the 400 petitioners
whose post Office addresses were not
given, 1t will appear that person

BY GOOD ROADS
ASSOCIATION

DR.. Patrie, the president of the
Good Roads association, swore to a
complaint against Geo. Johnson
Thursday morning for flooding the
road southwest of town. Several
automobiles attempting to 60 that
way on Wednesday were obliged to
turn back, and 1t appearing that
this part Of the road is habitually
flooded in summer, 1t was thought
proper to bring the supposed often
der into court for trial.

THE CITY BUSINESS
Council Wants Sewers and City Hall,
Wants Other Things and is
Working to Get Them

At the meeting Tuesday evenin
the council worked until 1853 an
then rushed the motion to adjour
before morning. They had a variet
OF subjects to act upon. and worke
out details, on each of them.
The Cemetery House
Councilman M. d. Bowen reporte,
that he had ordered material for tn
building and had engaged carpen
ter. Mr.. Staley, to begin work OF
| Thursday.
The Brown-Molden Pavement
Councilman Markus Blenkle rec
commended that a line for walks ST,
feet from property line along tn,
south side of Idaho street would make
the least sacrifice of trees, and woult
miss those of Mrs. w. A. Rogers ant
G. F. Molden, and would make 1t ne.
cessary for F. G. Parkinson to set his
new fence in six feet instead of twelve
That this would leave MSss Molden's 's
three trees that had been mentioned
about eight or ten inches from the
pavement. This was approved and
adopted as settlement of the mat
ter.
Alley in Kimball Addition
Mr.. Blenkle reported that by pur-
chasing strip through the acreage
of Nofear Davis and L. P. Batway at
a cost of $235 they could open the
long alley east of Shilling avenue,
and this was approved, but Mr.. Bat
way being present called attention to
another strip owned by Mrs. Muntz
which is in the way, and the coun-
Gil finding that the cost Of the alley
might be more than they had thought,
rescinded its action and left the mat
ter as it was before, with the work of
the committee continued.
Shilling Avenue Again
M. d. Bowen recommended COM
promise line for Strengthening west
side of Shilling avenue from the court
house to the south end, and moth
ing was settled upon. Mr.. Blenkle
said that Of all the fine streets in the
town, Shilling has the making of the
most beautiful, and he. thought 1t
would be sacrifice to the town and a
SAOW W PAOPCAJy OWhClo Ou JIldL CtlCCJ
to have a jog in it that would cut off
the view of the whole length of 1t.
That II he owned any Of the places
In question he would rather remove
some of the trees and shrubs and give
up some of the front lawn space than
have crook or angle in the thorough
are. That trees and shrubs will grow
again and crooked streets hurt worse
every year SO long as people live
here. Another review of the line will
be made to see If the beauty Of the
avenue con be preserved.
Mr.. Gagon was there to say that
lie and Mr.. Duckworth are anxious to
get their lines without further loss Of
ime, and that he is ready to cut down
lis trees If the council says So That
rees will grow again and that some
II the trees on that line have about
passed their best days anyhow. That

For the Association
On Monday afternoon some mem
bers Of the board of directors Of the
Southeastern Idaho Fair association
appeared before the board Of county
commissioners and asked for an ap.
preparation of $150O.OO to aid the
Fair association this year.
James Duckworth and Geo. Gagon
, lead in the application, and were fol
lowed by other citizens not members
OF the board of directors. G. w. Ber-
ryman made strong plea for an ap-
preparation, saying that this is the
only fair association in this part of
the state that has survived all the ups
and downs of fortune, and that it has
done much in the development of all
the upper Snake riverNalley. That it
is not local affair to benefit local
people, and that he would regard it
as very poor economy to withhold the
appropriation.
John G.. Brown stated that so far
as local men are concerned in their
business relations, the fair is bur-
den to them rather than means Of
increasing their business and profits.
That they are called upon to put up
money in one way and another to
help conduct the fair, and that DUR
ing fair week the business houses are
closed most of the time, and the pro-
prietOrs are serving on committees at
the grounds. That officers of the as
sociation pay their way into the
grounds, just the same as others, and
so do their families. The people liv-
ing at distance escape all such bur
dens as these while enjoying the same
benefits in the general development
of the country That both ends of
the county are about to witness the
building of new lines of railroad from
their principal towns, and that this
fall is more advantageous time to
make great exhibits than usual, be-
cause so many people are likely to
come in to investigate where new rail-
roads are being constructed.

Tax Collector Has Finished

CITY NEEDS THE MONEY
Is Paying Interest on Overdraft,
While Taxes that Should BE
Forthcoming Are Held Up.

Although the taxes have been col
lected, and the collector has had his
books closed for some time. the city
of Rock Island Is in bad way for
money, and is paying interest on over
drafts at the banks. This condition
is due simply to the fact that the tax
collector, J. B. Johnston, has failed
to turn over the money collected. He
closed his books over a week ago and
it is assumed that he has the money
on deposit in the bank, still the col
lector has not reported to the county
treasurer.
Action Contemplated.
The situation is so embarrassing 20
the city that the city cerk and city
attorney have taken the matter up.
and have urged Mr.. Johnston to make
an immediate settlement The time
for making his report has passed, and
the city needs the money II the col
lector does not respond promptly -
the request to settle, it may be neces-
sary to take other steps to compel
him to turn over the money. 1t is not
known just what amount the collector
secured on the levy, but ii is certainly
well up in the tens of thousands.
