REYNOLDS STILL
AT LARGE
Escapes Officers and Perhaps
Now With Friends in
Washington.

Theodore Reynolds, the alleged
horsethief who escaped from the
county Jail at Grangeville last
week, is still at large and little
hope is entertained of his being
captured at an early date. He
was thought to have been sur
rounded by a posse near Sites
shortly after getting away but
escaped through the brush and
was next seen at Lewiston where
he was discovered by John Emer-
son, a ferryman, who recognized
the boat he was using as a skiff
that had been stolen on the
upper river and advertised in
the Tribune. Emerson did not
recognize Reynolds at the time
but later informed the officers of
his recovery of the boat and
described the man so closely that
they felt sure it was the fugitive.
The officers searched the country
north of Lewiston and later went
as far as Cotton but got no trace
of their man. Later a report
was sent in from the lower river
that Reynolds was going down
stream in a boat and the officers
made a hurry up ride by auto to
Almota only to find that the man
in the boat was not the one they
were after. The officers believe
Reynolds to have been a passen-
ger in the boat for a ways, how
ever, and think he escaped into
the Tucanon country where he
has friends.

Attorney Griffith Here.

Attorney E. M. Griffith, can
didate for the Office of prosecut-
ing attorney on the democratic
ticket. was in the city Monday
from Grangeville propping up
the weak places in his political
fences on this side of the prairie.
Mr.. Griffith is we'll known to the
voters of Idaho county, having
held the Office of county attorney
previous to the last election, and
it is generally conceded that he
made one of the best officers the
county has ever had and convict
ed and sent to the penitentiary
during his term of Office more
criminals than any prosecutor
has during a single term of Of
fee, either before or since his
election. He is well qualified for
the Office of public prosecutor, is
a man of good judgment, is con-
servative and, if elected, will
conduct the Office with fairness
and impartiality.

MUST REGISTER
FOR PRIMARIES
citizens Who Wish to Vote at the
Primaries Must not Depend on
Old Registration---All Must
Register Anew.

If you want to vote at the
urinary election you will have to
register. All previous registra-
tiOns, including that made for
the recent local option election
are no longer of effect, and a
complete new registration i s
required.
If you want to vote for the
nomination of Brady, O'Neil,
Hawley or any other candidate
for governor, you must register.
you have an interest in the
nomination of the county ticket,
if you have a preference for
sheriff or assessor, if you want
to have say as to who shall be
commissioner from your district,
YOU must register, for unless you
do you can not vote. In short,
if you wish to exercise the privi-
legeS of citizenship and make
any use of the direct primary
law for which you have been
clamoring for 10 these m any
years you will have to do your
part, and the first step is to see
that your name is on the regis
tration lists, and that the ink
with which it was written is still
fresh. The fact that you were
registered for the last election,
and that you are known to be a
resident for several years will
not count. The law says a new
registration must be made every
two years, and the two years is
up So it is up to every voter to
register agaln-nOW.
The primary election is more
important than the general cleo
ton for the reason that the can
didates are chosen and policies
shaped at the primaries, which
give voters power which has
heretofore been denied them. A
faithful attendance at the prima-
RES will insure the selection of
candidates who are in sympathy
with the wishes of the people
and none who fail to exercise
this privilege can have cause for
complaint if things do not go
right.
The primary law will fail of it's
purpose unless people take inter
est enough to register and vote.
Every voter should do his part. :

SUPREME COURT
ON PRIMARY LAW
Judges Hold Second Choice"
Vote Necessary---Pass on
Other Knotty Points.

The direct primary law of Ida
no enacted by the Tenth legisla-
ture to be put in operation
August 80, but assailed through
original proceedings for writ of
prohibition to restrain the secre-
tary of state from certifying lists
OF persons entitled to be voted
upon to county auditors, is con-
stitutional declares Chief Justice
Isaac N. Sullivan of the supreme
court, Justice James F. Ailshie
concurring in separate opinion.
Both first and second choice
votes, if there are more than two
candidates for an office, are
mandatory, failure to designate
second choice in such instances
to render void only the vote for
that office. The nomination fee
or cost of circulating petitions
for nomination, where paid by
the candidate together with all
expenses incurred in promoting
his candidacy for Office, must be
included in the itemized bill of
expenses to be filed with the
secretary of state, the total ex-
pense not to exceed Is per cent
of the yearly salary of the office.
"A person is a candidate for
the nomination within the intent
of the primary law" says the
court, when he is expending
his money in employing and
sending out workers or perfect
ing an organization or advertis-
ing and exploiting himself, or
influencing public opinion in his
favor or against an opponent, or
in numerous other ways that pre-
sent themselves to the office
seeker for the purpose of in
creasing and enhancing his ulti-
mate chances of nomination for
a given Office or to aid or pro-
mote such nomination"
In passing upon the third ques-
tion raised by counsel, the court
asserts that precinct officers may
under the provisions of section
20 of the primary law be nomi-
mated in any reasonable way
provided by a party committee
or organization, this together
with other rulings effectually
disposing of all question as to

In trying to move the separator
with the engine at the ]. E. Gentry
farm northeast of towna Monday
the front truck was pulled from
under the separator and the crew
had to lay off until new repairs
could be secured from Spokane.
A spark from the engine set FIRE
to a wagon load of bundles on the
Rollinger place north of town last
Saturday and for time it looked
as if a serious fire might result.
The load was quickly hauled from
the field, however, and dumped
from the wagon and the fire soon
burned itself out.
Mat. Duclos finished threshing
his fine field of barley just north of
town late last week and informs us
it yielded 90 bushels to the acre.
He says much of it was left on the
ground and had it been possible to
secure all of the grain the yield
would easily have reached rs
bushels per acre. But even 90
bushels is not bad for such a dry
year.

man MURDERED
NEAR KAMIAH
nugh Laverty. Well Known
Miner, Shot Down by a Boy---
Lad Tells Queer Stories and will
be Tried for Murder.

Hugh Laverty, a miner who
has been working on claims near
the lower terminal of the Nez.
perce tramway below Kamiah
for several years past, was shot
and killed Sunday in a most pe-
culiar manner. 1t seems the
residents of that section were
holding a picnic that day at a
nelghboring farm and the LAYER
ty brothers were among the in
vited guests. Hugh did not leave
home quite as soon as the others
because of having some small
chores to do and was to dress
later and join the others at the
picnic grounds. Shortly after
his brothers reached the picnic
grounds a 16-year old boy named
Thomas appeared there and said
ne would tell the men something
if they would come with him.
He then told them he had shot
Laverty after being commanded
to do so by Theodore Reynolds
and two other men who were
found in the Laverty cabin.
The men at once returned to
the cabin and found Laverty ly-
ing dead about a hundred feet
from the building. He had been
shot in the left breast with a
shot gun and died almost i'm
mediately.
The story told by Thomas was
that when he and Laverty ap-
preached the cabin they found
Reynolds and two other men ran
sacking it. T h It Reynolds
caught Thomas by the neck and
commanded him to shoot Laverty
or be shot himself which SO
frightened him that he shot the
defenseless man where he stood.
Thomas stories are so unusual
that they are hardly believed,
especially as he inquired of each
person at the Laverty home as to
or not they would attend
the picnic. He had had no
trouble with the murdered man
and no cause is known for his
act.
There were four brothers of
the Laverty family, two of whom
were blind, having had their eye
sight destroyed by a blast in a
mine several years ago. They
nad been residents of the Kamiah
section for about eleven years
and were highly esteemed by all
who knew them. The deceased
was a member of the Knights of
Columbus lodge at Lewiston and
vas buried from the Catholic
church at that place Tuesday
morning, a large crowd attending
he funeral.
A coroner's inquest was held
,ver the body of the murdered
nan at Kamiah on Monday by
Dr.. Blake and young Thomas
vas held to the district court on
charge of murder.
