Montpelier. Idaho, June Q, 1911

Funny, isn't it, that in
Montpelier, where gambling
IN any and all forms has been
frowned upon ever since the
anti-gambling law was passed,
a bunch of grafters accom-
panying a bum wild west
show, would be permitted to
work that nefarious "shell
game" and go their way I'M
molested, while in Soda
Springs, which has long been
known to countenance gambl-
ing, these same grafters were
arrested before they had
scarcely begun to ply their
"cinch gambling games. !"
That the officers here had full
knowledge that gambling
games were going on IN the
side show last Monday after.
noon, there is no doubt, and
q great many people are won
dering why no arrests were
made nor even an attempt
made to stop the games. It
Is reliably reported that the
grafters cleaned up close to
$1,000 here with their sure
thing games. Evidentally
that class of law violation is
not looked upon as seriously
by some as is quiet game Of
poker between ''home folks'
or the selling of a bottle of
beer or a drink of "booze."

The Riley Recital.

1.-THE Hoosier Poet" James Whit
comb Riley, Will be interpreted by
Judge J. d. Flenner of Boise, who
will give "Riley Recital at the
Theatre Friday night, June Is, under
the auspices of the knights of
Pythias. AS an entertainer in this
line Judge Flenner is highly praised
by the press wherever he has appear
ed. On the evening of June 1st. he
gave a recital before the state normal
students at Lewiston and the Tribul e
of that city thus comments on it:
Judge Flenner added last night to
his reputation as reader of Riley.
He was at times-as the occasion de-
neutrality-suspicious., humorous,
pathetic. For nearly one hour and a
half he thoroughly entertained the
large audience which greeted him
Perhaps his best appreciated read
ings were 1.-The Widow Peggoty"
and ''Out to Old Aunt Mary's" with
which he closed delightful even
ing"
In speaking of his entertainment at
Cambridge, the News says:
1.-THE chief feature of the evening
was the Riley Interpretation by
Judge Flenner, who has the ability
to carry an audience with him from
the sublime to the ridiculous or from
the humorous to the pathetic with APP
parently no effort at all. Mr.. Flenner
is entirely at ease before an audience
and holds his auditors spell bound
from start to finish. There is no use
attempting to mention any one poem
which the Judge recited, because
they were all good. He is one of the
few interpreters who seem to get
down to the very soul of the poem and
to reveal to the audience exactly
what the author had in his heart
when he penned the words"

DID AMERICAN
SINK MAINE?
Secret Service Probe Fails
to Confirm Story.

New York, May 29.-The govern
ment. SO it has become known, has In
gestigated a report to the effect the
Maine was blown up in Havana mar
Dor by an American who had beer
condemned to death by he Spanish,
but won his freedom by destroying the
American warsh!p.
The spy who turned the story In TO
the secret service bureau at Washing
ton asserted that GeorgesB. Boynton,
the Soldier of fortune" who died re-
Gently, was the man who actually
blew up the Maine.
THE Spaniards," said the informer
to Chief Wilkie of the secret service,
were entirely ~unprepared for the Wis
It of the Maine, which was sent to
Havana suddenly and without warn
ing. Consequently there WAS no mine
attached to the buoy at which she was
moored, though 1t vas stated that one
would have been placed there II 1t had
been SO much as suspected that she
was coming. Once In the harbor she
had the city and its defenses at her
mercy, for all Of the modern guns In
the surrounding Notifications faced
the sea, and none could be brought to
bear on her.
"a boiler filed with powder was
dashed in sling under a lighter,
which was lowed across the bow OF
the Maine at night.
1.-THE Spaniards then fixed on Boyn'
ton as the person to set off the mine.
He had been captured shortly before
while conducting a flibuster1ng expe-
dition for the Cubans, whom he had
aided during the ten years war, and
was then imprisoned In Cabanas for
tress. According to the story, he was
tried and sentenced to death, bu was
offered life and liberty If he would
press the button that was to destroy
the Maine and swear never to reveal
the secret, He accepted these terms
and on the night of Feb. 10, 1898
when the Maine swung around until
her bow was directly e the mine,
with her keel only three or four feet
above it, he was taken to the Machine
wharf, where he threw the switch that
caused the explosion. Then he was
set free and left Cuba"
Such was the story the spy told the
secret service. Chief Wilkie and his
sleuths worked on it a long time, but
were unable to establish Boynton's
connection with the explosion. What
else Wilkie found in his investigation
Is not known. The Maine is now be
ing raised.

BOY IS KILLED
CHUMS HELD
Youths First Say Man Did
Shooting, Then Confess.

John Asosky, ten years old, of
Freshkill road, Green Ridge, is dead
at his home and his two chums,
Philip Couch, eleven years old, and
George Couch, twelve years old, of
the same address, are locked up in
the rooms OF the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty TO Children, at
New Brighton. According to the
story told to the police the three
boys went in bathing at the Green
Ridge beach and while walking on
the beach they found an old single
barrelled shotgun under a bathing
house. Philip Couch says that, be-
lieving the gun was not loaded, he
pointed it at Asosky and pulled the
trigger. The charge struck Asosky
In the chin and tore a portion of his
neck away.
At first the two boys, who ran
away after the shooting. steutly de-
MED n knowledge of the shooting.
They told Detective George Conboy,
of the ninety-ninth precinct station,
To~ttenyifle, who was assigned to the
case. that a strange man had shot
young Asosky from behind a tree
and afterward ran away. After be-
ing questioned by the detective both
boys broke down and confessed.
They said after the shooting they
were frightened and made up the
story to tell If anyone asked them
about it. They threw the gun over
board SO as to hide all evidence, but
it was recovered by the detective In
the spot where they said it was
thrown in the water. Philip was
arrested charged with doing the
shooting and George is held as a
witness. They were brought to the
ni~nety-ninth precinct station and
later locked up in the Children's
Society rooms until Wednesday,
when they will be arraigned before
Judge Ryan in the children's court.
Coroner william H. Jackson, who
was notified, is making an investiga-
ton.

SHORTAGE OF
CROPS IN new JERSEY

From present indications there
will be quite a serious shortage below
an average good year of some i'm
portant farm crops. According to
reports received by Franklin Dye,
secretary of the state board of agri-
culture, from ten counties the aver
age prospect for a yield of hay is but
siXty-seven per cent. A shortage of
thirty-three per cent. means not only
a money loss to the farmer, but a
less amount for feeding stock and a
higher price for hay to those who
have to buy. This threatened short
age is due to cold, backward spring
and continued lack of rain for sever
al weeks past.
In different localities the eason is
reported as being from one week to
three weeks late. Lack of sufficient
rain is causing a shortage in some
truck crops and making it difficult
to receive a good standard of plants
set out or to be set.
Strawberries must suffer a greater
or less reduction in yield and size
where sufficient rain is not forthcom-
ing. Pasture, too, is seriously affect
ed in some sections for lack of rain.
The prospect for a yield of wheat
is good, being 90.8 per cent; rye, 81
per cent; oats, IT'S per cent.
The peach prospect is encouraging.
After the usual June dropping, how
ever, a more reliable estimate can be
made. A possible seventy-five per
cent. yield is now estimated. Apple
trees are improving and fruit yield
promises well where trees have been
properly sprayed and cared for. In
most cases where this has not been
done the outlook for fruit is very
uncertain.
A Monmouth county correspondent
writes:
THE seale~ Is disappearing, both
in sprayed and unsprayed orchards.
There has been a lady-bug around
for the past two years that is smaller
and different from the native one,
which we think is a parasite Of the
scale. The indications are for a fair
ly good yield of apples"

EXPECT TOBACCO DECISION.
Supreme Court Meets Today, but May

Washington. May 20. There is
keen interest in official circles in to-
days meeting Of the supreme court
and the probability that the courts
opinion In the case of the United
States against the American Tobacco
company will be handed down. Fol
lowing the delivery of opinions, the
court will adjourn for the term and
will not r~econyene until October
There is considerable speculation as
to the courts reason for Withholding
the tobacco trust decision. The tobacco
trust and The Standard Oil cases were
argued about the same time and were
supposed to stand on about the same
footing, and it "a expected that the
courts opinion IN both cases would
come down on the same day.
