TEXAS DELEGATION
SPLIT IN TWO BY
THE BAILEY ISSUE
Row Starts In Selection of
Randell, the Senator's
Rival, for Leader.

Trouble is stirring in the Texas dele
cation in the House on the Bailey and
anti-Bailey issue. A few weeks ago,
Representative Choice B. Randell, a
member of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, announced his purpose to run
against Bailey for the Senate. Senator
Bailey when asked what he thought
about 1t, is credited with saying to a
newspaper man:
"Just say for me that I just laughed" :"
This stirred up a commotion In Tex
as, but 1t is by no means all of the
commotion. The Texas delegation Is
composed of sixteen Democrats. Most
of them long ago lined up on the Bailey
and anti-Bailey issue, but some Of them
have not until recently gone on record.
Bailey's Resentment.
The delegation met recently to elect
a chairman and organize for the new
Congress. Randell was elected by ac-
clamation. The position is honorary and
CT no Importance But Senator Bale!
did not see it that way.
That night Senator Bailey sent for
some of his supporters in the House a III
told them that selection of Randell was
10 lndk IL NC
rescinded. He argued that 1t might be
interpreted to mean that the Congress
sionalr delegation was solidly in favor
of Randell as against himself for the
Senate.
Baileyites' Plans Fail.
The next day. on request of some OF
the Bailey followers, the delegation met
again. Fifteen members were present.
George Burgess, a Baileyite, being i'll
at home. A Bailey man asked that the
election of Mr.. Randell as chairman Of
the delegation be rescinded, giving his
reasons as outlined by the Senator. Mr..
Stephens, fondly believing that the anti
Bailey men had a ma jority. assented.
He said he was perfectly willing to DO
il over again and do it slow. Therefore
he made the motion himself. and the
action of the previous day was recon-
sidered and the delegation was without
a chairman.
Then Mr.. Randell. was renominated.
The roll was called. Seven men said
Aye" Seven said No" Mr.. Randell
declined to vote. Fifteen roll calls were
had, and then the delegation adjourned
over Sunday.
The heavy hand of Champ Clark was
laid upon the leaders of the delegation
and they were told to stop their quarrel
ing They met again. Mr. Henry, anti
Bailey, offered a resolution declaring
Mr.. Randell elected chairman, but spe-
officially declaring that his election 70
that position had no political signi7-
canoe whatever as applied to the Sena-
torial situation in Texas. The compro-
mise was satisfactory and Mr.. Randell
is now the chairman.
Delegation Equally Divided.
But the fact was developed that the
sixteen Texas members of Congress are
divided equally on the Bailey issue
eight for and eight against. That is the
usual run of things in Texas on that
issue.

Three Claimants for the Valuable
Tract of Land.
HEARING IS HELD AT LEWISTON
Land Comprises 100 Acres-Lo-
Gated Near Green Creek.

There is an interesting three-cor-
nered fight being waged involving the
ownership of a valuable 100-acre tract
of farm land located between Ferdi-
nand and Green Creek, in the richest
section of Idaho county. The rival
claimants are Joseph Schultz of Lew
iston, formerly a banker of Nezperce
and now engaged in the banking busi-
ness at Lapwai; w. l. Long, grain
dealer Of Ferdinand and Steunenberg,
and Barney Westoff, we'll known
Idaho county farmer. The land was
formerly an Indian allotment, owned
by woman known as Catherine She
was allotted the land at the time the
reservation was opened. Several years
later it was learned that she also held
an allotment on the Umatilla reserva-
tion as member Of that tribe, and
the Washington authorities then held
the Green Creek allotment for cancel
lation. There is law that provides
where an entry is cancelled under such
circumstances, it shall be subject to
new entry after the expiration of GO
days from the date of cancellation.
In this case the 60 days expired on
June Is, 1910.
When the morning OF June IL
dawned, it was found there were
three occupants of the land-Mr.
Schultz, Mr.. Long and Mr.. Westhof.
Schnltz wa equipped with an automo-
bile, and when he had posted neces-
sary notices he climbed into the ma
chine and made the run to the Lewis
ton office, perfecting his entry there.
Long and Westoff were occupying
the property prior to June 16 and also
on that day, they appeared at the
land office to make entry for the land
each claiming prior occupation. The
conflict of the three entries resulted
and the commissioner later ordered 9
hearing, which has during the week
been receiving the attention Of th'
Lewiston land office and which wal
concluded Thursday evening.
Long and Westof each claim thu
land as the result of prior occupation
while Schultz claims they are ''soon
ers," having entered upon the lant
when they had no legal rig ght so to do
Since the issue arose, three habita
tions have been maintained on th'
land, each claiming ownership ant
possession.
At the hearing just held, Westol
was represented by C. I. Stranahan
Long by Attorney Fred Butler ant
Schultz by Attorney Chance.

Would-Be Suicide Receivers.

w. E. Rowe, the would-be suicide
who was brought over from Reuter-
vile last July with his head very
near severed from his body, had SO
far recovered Saturday that it was
decided to take him from the Revere
hotel to the county farm. Rowe OBJ
Jected strenuously and stated that if
he had the necessary means he would
prefer going to his former home at
Ioppenish, Wn. Judge DeHaven
dug up the necessary money from his
purse and by this time Rowe is among
his old friends. The case was mighty
serious one and the saving of the life
of the man reflects great credit upon
the skill Of DR.. Slusser, who has had
charge of the case. Rowe seems very
grateful to Idaho county and stated
he would see that every cent incurred
in taking care Of him was paid back.
He has also assured his friends that
he does not intend attempting his own
life in the future.

most important business to come be-
fore this body was the fixing Of the

Maine Goes Wet.

The state of Maine, which has
been dry for over fifty years,
went wet at Tuesdays election by a
small majority. Canyon county,
which is commonly known as the
kansas of Idaho,' remained in the
dry column when the question was
re-submitted last week, the majority
being 2,400. Bannock county, an
other place where the liquor question
was brought up again, remained dry
by a majority of 700. There are
many Mormons down there and Of
course that church would prefer to
have its members procure their liquor
from the Salt Lake dealers who are
controlled by the organization.

Miss Bourland gets SIS, 900.

The case of w. H. Cassidy VS.. War
rem Scott, an action wherein the
plaintiff sued the defendant for attor-
ney's fees, was on trial Friday and
Saturday, consuming practically all
of the time Of the two days. The
action was brought by Mr.. Cassidy
against Warren Scott on q contract
which the plaintiff claimed had been
entered into by himself and Scott
last spring at which time he was
retained by the defendant to look
after his interests in the estate of his
deceased mother.
The case was a hard fought one all
the way through, the defendant be-
ing represented by such able counsel
as Attorneys Hardy and Scales and
the plaintiff was assisted by Atty. f.
NJ. Griffith. The jury was out about
an hour when a verdict for $1,10O
was found for Atty. Casady. There
was some mighty bitter invective
INDUCED in by both Attorney Scales
and Casady in their arguments and
considerable animosity was shown
throughout the case.
Two divorces were granted Satur.
day afternoon, Mrs. Cora Hockshaw
of Kooskia being freed from the
bonds of matrimony entered into some
years ago with J. A. Hockshaw. Il

, was a hard fought one, many witnes
ses being called by both sides, includes
, in the list being most Of the doctor
of Grangeville and Doctor Turner G

LINEN SHOWER

The entertainment given by Mesdames Hart and McKenzia in the home of the latter, on yes. terday afternoon, in honor of Miss Hinton went off as merry as a marriage bell," notwitb. standing the fact that each host. ess was too ill to appear on the scene.
 Right graciously however were the honors performed by Mrs, Sam Logan and Mrs. Oscar Dunaway.
 After quite a lively indulgence in few games a delightful two course repast was served.
 A beautiful jardiniere Of white hyacinths was then presented to the prospective bride, a basket of rice to Mrs. Dan Pittman for the higest score with instructions to Guard it with care to be later showered on the happy pair. :" Miss Scanlin won the booby, a little horse shoe, emblem of good luck at least.
 At this juncture some one sug. gested that shower was em. inent and so hurridly handed Miss Hinton a huge basket with instructions to bring in her clothes, whereupon a door was thrown open and she was usher. ed into the softly lighted dining room where the proverbial good luck horse shoes were the main feature of decoration. By a little bit of decoy on the part of one of the bridal party Miss Hinton was directly under the chandelier when by some magic hand in the corner a cord was drawn which emptied tissue papes of rice on her golden head.
 But sure enough she found real clothes line filled with a pro fusion of real linen so pleasing to the feminine eye.
 She decided the rain would not come so hurridly. and so gave time for an inspection by each guest, but not however until chief of police was first appoint ed.
