Under $500 Bonds.

John Christopherson, the 1S-year-
old drug clerk, who has been under
Sheriff Kennedy's care charged with
manslaughter in connection with the
death of Mrs. ID. Il. Moses, was to
have had a hearing last Friday; but
instead of that, n continuance was
asked for in county court and grant
ed. Judge Holcomb set October 20
for the. preliminary hearing and fix
ed the bonds at $500. Todd Christ
opherson the boys father and Judge
Homer Sullivan, who is employed on
the defense, stood good for the "a
mount which was accepted by both
the court and the county attorney.
Shortly after the continuance was
granted the boy and his father start
ed for Galloway, where it is said he
will remain until the hearing comes
up. On the same morning, and not
long after the bonds had been fixed,
ID. r.. Moses and Sam Sterner
husband and brother of the dead
woman came to town with the inten-
ton of appearing at the preliminary.
When he found the boy was already
out on bonds and had left town, Mr..
Moses was much dissatisfied and
earnestly protested against the
amount fixed in the bonds, to the
Cnnntu OF tN To- t.
comb and asked that the sum might
be reiscd in order to insure the de-
fendants appearance at the specified
time. Mr.. Gadd and theJudge ex-
planned that $500 was considered an
ample sum under the circumstances
and thought it best not to increase
it. Mr., Moses says he intends to
push the case and will employ legal
counsel to assist the county attorney
in the prosecution
Sam Sterner, the brother who pur-
chased the tartar emetic instead of
cream of tartar from Christopherson,
when questioned in regard to the
affair replied that he did not care
or want to talk for publication, but
would say that he had never heard
of tartar emeticbefore his sister
swallowed the fatal drug by mistake
and that young Christopherson S
statements to the newspapers as to
how the poison came to be sold, were
entirely wrong

J. Taylor, who is out for COMPRESSION
al honors from the big Sixth on botl
tickets, is making this his official
resting place. Judge Dean has hand
ed in his declination and sent out
letters to party friends explaining
that there is now no reason why they
should not work for Mr.. Taylor and
help boost him into congress. Har-
mony has apparently been restored
in camp. According to a political
prophet on the State Journal, Tay-
lor's chances for a seat at Wash
ington are not as bright as they
might be and he explains why, in
part as follows: "Kinkaid's cleo
tion seems assured if outward signs
count for anything. Taylor has star
ed out heroically to cover the dis
trict; but he has few acquaintances
compared with his adversary. The
democrats are not very enthusiastic
because he is a populist, and especi-
ally among the vets, who resent
populist disaffection against Dahl
man, there is antagonism and apath.
Taylor has challenged Kinkaid for
joint debate, but it is unlikely he
will be accommodated Kinkaid has
reputation as a vote-getter through
the Misunderstanding route. Whenever
he arrives in town, while out cam
paigning, he does not HE himself to
hotel where the elect may call on
him in seclusion. He goes out a.
mong the voters, many of whom he
knows by sight. If he doesn't know
the voters name he speedily learns
it by skillfully leading up the con-
versation He finds out what each
is interested in or wants, and his
suavity. and good humor disarms the
fiercest critic" 4

apparently fell under the moving car

to roll swiftly down the cmbank-

After the lapse of a few seconds
the small traveller emerged from
his place of involuntary concealment

though nothing had happeI ed. AS

The Proposed Division Lines

We present to the readers of the
Republican this a map of the new
proposed division lines that have
been accepted by the county board.
The map speeks for it's self. They
certainly cap the climax. The only
surprise is that the author of such
lines could find enough people in
the county that would sign petit
ton calling an election on them.
The Republican predicts that nc
fair minded man who believes in
justie or has any pride in his county
will support the proposition on such
county division or not.

Two Bills and Two Bites.

Bill Wolf, who at one time "skip-
pered' a lodging house and 'quick
service" food dispensary in town
is in other climes quietly waiting
until the clouds roll by so that he
may again mingle as a free citizen
with the residents of Custer county.
Dmring the fair at Galloway last
Thursday, it appears that the con-
duct of Bill Sailing, resident of
that place did not meet with the full
approval of Mr.. Wolf and he became
quite peevish over it. One thing
led to another and, finally, instead
of blows, it came to bites. A by
stander, who witnessed the exchange
of courtesies from a safe vantage,
says that Wolf grabbed Sailing and
bit two pieces of flesh from his neck
as clean as a knife would cut. Wolf
boarded the Broken Bow stage at a
considerable distance from town the
next day but disembarked before it
arrived here. A warrant is out for
his arrest but up to the present time
he had made himself particularly
scarce. Sailing, it is said, was not
seriously injured.

that politics will cut little ice, be-
cause the issue will be between right
and wrong, and right will win out,
hands down. Mr.. Aldrich will talk

SEASHORE ROAD

A beach trip of 100 miles by auto
mobile is one of the projects which
will bring Newport Bay and it's var
ious beach resorts into enviable prom
inence in motor circles, says the Los
Angeles Times, When the roadway
plans are carried out it will be possi-
BILE to leave Los Angeles over smooth
boulevards penetrating the beautiful
groves and fields of Orange county
and, emerging on the seashore from
the mesas of Newport Bay country, to
continue northward along miles of
surf line as far as Long Beach, where
another boulevard is already making
connection with the city.
1t will be a circular trip of nearly
100 miles without passing the same
point twice. In spite of its length 1t
will be an easy days tour, as the
roads will be smooth and there will be
little other traffic on the route.
There will be many picturesque fea-
lures in the construction of the road
at Balboa The approach of an au.
tomobile now seems impossible, but
bridges and concrete roadways will
surmount the apparent difficulties. Au'
tomobiles in Balboa will be as unique
but not as strange a sight as in the old
world Venice. They will cross the
channels and find their way out to
Balboa islands in the middle of the
big bay. They will ferry across the
navigable channel strip of peninsula
o mainland again.

THE WORLD ON TWO

They say that the demand for BIZ
cycles this year is far ahead of the
supply, so that the jobbers can't fill
their orders. That is not surprising.
The bicycle is permanent link in
he chain of mechanical transporta-
ion. 1t has kept it's market right
along better than most people suppose,
being very useful to dwellers on farms
and in villages. If there is squirt in
bicycles this year it is probably due
to the decline in horses and the vast
improvement in roads, both of them
consequences of the rise of the auto

throne, but they visited him with a
long series of domestic misfortunes
which disrupted his family, deprived
him of those he most tenderly loved
and loaded him down with grief and
sorrow.
The unhappiness Of his marriage
to Elizabeth, the younger daughter of
Duke Macmillan of Bavaria, was his
first great trouble. There have been
many theories advanced as to the
causes of the alienation of the affec-
tion between the emperor and the en-
press. Whatever may have been the
actual cause, it continued until Eliza
beth was assassinated in Switzerland
by the hand of an anarchist.
The next tragic event in the EN-.
peror's family came when his brother,
Macmillan, the puppet emperor of
Mexico, was executed at Queretaro.
Maximilians wife became insane and
is still living, ignorant of her hus.
bands fate. The saddest blow was
the mysterious death of his only son
crown prince Rudolph, at his hunt
ing lodge near Meyerling A few
years later the emperor's sister-in-law
the Duchess d'Alencon, burned to
death at charity bazaar in Paris
Archduke Johann, nephew of the
emperor, contracted mesalliance
with dancer and disappeared with
her. Louis Victor, the sole surviving
brother of the emperor, disgraced
himself and was shorn of his rank
Archduke Leopold, another nephew Of
the emperor, married vaudeville
star; Princess Stephanie married
Count LOUSY and was banished and
her daughter, Princess Elizabeth be
came the wife of poor cavalry of
ficer His nephew and prospective
heir to the throne, Prince Francis
Ferdinand contracted a. morganatio
marriage and thus complicated the
succession to the throne.
