Sweet Wants County Seat

The county seat fight is on
again in Boise county. The Sweet
Sentinel last week fred the first
gun and announced that Sweet was
the only logical location for the
county capital, That paper con-
tends that enough time. money and
energy has been spent in making
trips to the present county seat at
idaho City to build a splendid
new court house and good roads
all over the county. Continuing,
it hres this parting salute, which
ought to settle the matter: "Ye
G DDS and little fishes, to think of
this enormous waste. the inconveni-
encies submitted to by sovereign
people, is frightful, repulsive and
disgusting. Enough to turn ones
hair gray in single night, or cause
our ancestors to- turn over in their
graves and groan for shame. =

manager of the road, actual con-
struction work on the Payette Val

OBJECTED TO 1ENCENTS
EXTRA
So an Emmett Man Whip
ped the Conductor of
Idaho Northern

Resenting the injustice Of being
compelled to either ride in fou
and dirty smoking car or pay II
cents extra for occupying the parlor
car, Reilly Huff, an Emmett young
man, gave Conductor G. K.
Taylor a sound threashing, while
w. ]. Windes big six-foot Missouri
an. held at bay the negro porter and
the brakeman.
The trouble occurred Friday on the
afternoon train bound for this city.
Huff refused to pay the 10 cents ex-
cess fare demanded of parlor car
passengers and was elected by the
train crew into the smoking car.
Hot words followed and Conductor
Taylor struck Huff a vicious blow
over the eye. In the encounter that
followed Taylor got the worst of it.
When the train arrived both Huff
and Windessswere arrested on war
rents sworn out by Taylor and gave
bonds for their appearance at their
trial next Saturday. A warrant
was also sworn out for Taylor and
he was arrested the following after
noon.
The trouble that ensued Friday
has been expected ever since the
order was issued to charge 10 cents
extra to ride in the parlor car. The
order was unjust, inasmuch as the
railroad company provided no other
car for the passengers to ride in ex-
cept foul, filthy, uncomfortable
smoking car. The worm was bound
to turn and it did. Unfortunately
Conductor Taylor, who was simply
carrying out the orders of his SUI
periors, was the one to suffer. The
injustice of the extra charge is more
marked on account of the company
charging the exorbitant regular fare
of five cents per mile. In spite of
the fact that Emmett has and is
furnishieg a heavy passenger and
freight traffic, the policy of the road
towards this city seems to be to ex-
act the limit in charges and give the
poorest service possible in return.
The attitude of the road is unreason-
able, unwise and unjust.

Idaho Leads at Chicago.

With three-ffths of the space anc
with a display of products as con.
vincing as it is massive, Idaho mo-
noplizes the spot light at the United
StatesLand and Irrigation exposition
in Chicago. The exhibits from the
various counties are we'll scattered
throughout the immense coliseum
and no matter in which direction the
visitor looks, Idaho is to the fore.
The lecture course was opened by
Professor French who spoke to an
audience which packed the big lee
ture room. His lecture was illus
trated by moving pictures from Ada,
Canyon, Ohyhee, Twin Falls, Bing-
nam, Blaine and Fremont counties.
Three times during the afternoon
was Professor French called upon to
repeat his lecture Two carloads of
Idaho exhibits were wrecked en-
route and practically none of the
shipments in those cars was saved.
Notwithstanding this handicap Idaho
has more to show than any state in
the union. 1t has already been con-
ceded that the Gem state outclasses
them all in potatoes, in grains and
grasses and when its display of fruit
is in position it will have by far the
best showing in the exposition. Glib
son, Fallon, Frazer, French, MePher-
son and Wayn1an will deliver the
daily lectures which will be superbly
illustrated. Every representive from
Idaho is beseiged for information
and it is fortunate the state is so
well represented.

finn OUTLAW KILLED.
Meets Death At Hands of
Officers at Nampa.

After withstanding a siege of "a
hours, an unknown Finlander, self
confessed assailant of Nightwatch-
man Fleming, who was shot down
at Nampa last week, was
slain By the officers of the law Fri
day, but not until Harry F. Garret,
the II year old boy held a prisoner
for self protection, had successfully
made his escape by jumping from
the second story window of the
building in which the fugitive had
taken refuge.
A few nights ago officer Flem-
ming noticed hobo attempting to
board an out going fright train out
of Nampa, and ordered him to get
off the train In the place of COM
plying with the officers command
be Doulled revolver. and shot the
officer in the neck, inficting a
wound that may prove serious. A
description of the hobo was secured
and all officers along the route of
0. S. L. notified TO be on the look
out for him. While the Garrett
family who live four miles north
of Nampa, were at breakfast the
following morning, FinlandeI
came to the house and asked for
something to eat, which he was told
would be given him, but before a
place could be fixed and food ar
ranged he took matters in his own
hands and started in helping him
self. He told Mr.. Garrett that
it was he who had shot the Nampa
officer, and Mr.. Garrett was about
to place him under arrest when the
man drew his revolver and told
him that he would kill him if he
was molested. Fearing Mr.. Garrett
would carry out his intentions he
marched the II year old son of Mr..
Garrett upstairs, keeping him be-
tween himself and Mr.. Garrett
until an open loom was reached.
Upon entering the room he piled
the heavy furniture against the door
and told those upon the outside
that he would kill the boy at the
frstattempt that was made to arrest
him. MIR. Garret at once phoned to
neighbors and officers and soon
the house was filled with excited
men. An effort was made to break |
open the door, when the boy on the
inside pleaded with them to stop
their work, as the Finlander had |
his revolver at his head and would !
surely pull the trigger if the doo1
was opened. All day Thursday
and Friday night every known |
effort was made TO trap the ma in
some manner, but all efforts tailed. |
He showed the greatest shrewd-
ness by making the boy first eat
and drink a part of all that was
passed in to them before he would |
touch it himself.
After the boy had made his es
cape, efforts were made to persuade
the man TO give himself up, with
out success. Then a charge of
was fred into the building, !
which was returned by the out
law. More firing followed, when
the fugitive threw himself from
the window, through which the
boy had jumped and made au effort
to regain his feet in an attempt to
escape. He had lost his revolver.
Sheriff Breshears and deputies
rushed to the man, who was then
unable TO offer resist
ance, and picking him up carried
his bleding form to the kitchen
where it was placed upon the floor.
He died FIVE minutes Iarsr

was assizted by Hogan Of Canistota
and Kelley of Lennox. Up to the
sixth inning the game was 2 to 0 in
favor of Hurley but here our boys
went to pieces and with the aid Of
three hits and two errors Parker
chased in three runs. The county
seat boys made another in the ninth
when Uecker's two base hit was fol-
lowed by a single by j Clikeman.
For Hurley Stoddard scored in the
third after he had made second on

Before large crowd at the Davis
Carnival last gaek the Hurley ball
team defeated the big team from
Lennox, taking the game by a score
of 4 to after twelve innings of
play. The result was especially sat
isfactory to Hurley because the Len
nox team has ea all season to
meet the Hurley boys and had not
even been polite IN their refusal.
Whether our team was not good
enough to meet them or they We're
afraid of gettiTg beaten we do not
not know but whatever it was Len

and Hurley is hanpy. 1t was the

inning Fiighstreet got wild. With
one out he hit Allen, then famed

and hit r. Rundell, thus filling the
bases. Rundeil was seriously hurt
having received a terrific call in the
right side and as obliged to retire
from the game. Then E. Rundell

BALI GAMES

Wednesday was an off day for the
Hurley bali team and they dropped
both of the games played though
their failure was not so much due to
the superior playing of their oppon-
ents as it was to their own errors.
The first game was with Canistota
and resulted in a score of seven to
three in favor OF the visitors. On
account Of the game that was com
ing in the afternoon the Hurley line
up was slightly changed in order to
save strength for what was consider
ed the harder game and on account
OF this change the game was lost as
the boys did not work we'll out of
their positions. The visitors got one
in the second and in the fourth
struck a batting rally and with the
aid of five hits one for three bags,
an error and a pass they chased in
six runs. The lineup was then
changed. Stoddard going to third,
e. Rundell to center and Payne to
the pitchers box. No further runs
we're then made by Canistota nor
We're there any more by Hurley so
the game was lost. Hurley scored
in the first when i. Elliott got a
single, went to second on an error,
took third on r. Rundell's hit and
came homo on E. Rundell's fly to
right field. Two more runs were
secured in the third when B. Elliott
got a base on balls and was scored
by Earl Rundell with a two base hit.
Earl then came home on Stoddard' s
long fly to center field. 1t was 9
nice game even if we did lose. The
Canistota bunch are gentlemen
whichever way the game goes and
we have beaten them too many
times this season to begrudge them
a game once in while.
