The girl refused absolutely to tell
her name at the hospital and wept
over her failure to end her life.

For Sheriff.

That man of D. M. Stokesbery' s
integrity, ability and good horse
sense should enter the race for sher-
iff is cause for congratulation. He
will receive practically the unani-
nous vote of the Republicans of
the Emmett country, and when a
man has such support from his neigh
'bors and fellow citizens, it is a sure
thing that he is all right. Dave
Stokesbery is the kind of man that
can be trusted in any position. At
present he is city clerk of Emmett
hnd Justice of the peace. Before
eoming to this city he held off
cial positions of responsibility in
Ada county and his record is
clean, Canyon county can't de bet
ter than to nominate and elect him.
