MOUNTS MAY Be
DISCHARGED

No coat of whitewash for Road
Supervisor j. A. Mounts. The
board of county commissioners
had stormy session this morning
and Mounts was the sole topic of
conversation. 1t is known posi-
lively that one of the board is for
the people and a square deal
that he is determined Mounts
must go. Another is non-com-
initial. Mounts was closeted with
the board this morning, but ap-
pears to be in no hurry to pro-
ceed with the trial. His attorney,
e. b. Brockway, was not present.
On the other hand Attorney II.
K. Lea, representing the petition
ers, is anxious to have the hear
ing take place. 1t is learned on
excellent authority that he told
Prosecuting Attorney McMurray,
who is supposed to be looking
after the county's interests, to
proceed with the charges against
Mounts, either as hearing before
the commissioners, or in the SUI
perior court, or that he, Lea, rep
resenting the petitioners, would
jump over McMurray's head and
have the case prosecuted from the
office of the attorney general.

MIR. SEYMOUR GIVES

y Salient features of a letter
written by Mr.. w. w. Seymour

There is plainly unrest and dis.
satisfaction among our citizens
and just as plainly apparent fric-

friction over small things and

an industrial work is extremely
necessary, and an engineer capable
of planning and carrying out the
important work now in course of

most important positions in the

REBELS BEGIN
DESTRUCTION
OF RAILROADS
(By United Press Leased Wire


WASHINGTON. ID. c., Mar. 16.
Because the Mexican railways
refused to comply with General
Madero's order to cease transport
ing federal troops, the rebels be-
gin today a campaign of bridge
destruction which caused a pre-
diction by the junta here that all
rail communication with inner
Mexico would be cut within "a
hours. The junta points to the
activities of the insurgents as the
best answers to the reports that
Madero Is suing for peace.
The junta issued the following
statement: "The report that the
revolutionary soldiers intended to
dynamite the railroads leading in
to the interior of Mexico is true.
The action was necessary to stop
the sending of federal soldiers
and supplies. The railroads had
been warned time and again.

RECALL PETITIONS

City Clerk Cushman expects to

Soc ciaIiSt
Will Run

A. H. Barth, socialist, was put
in nomination for mayor by petit
tions filed at O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, making four candidates
in the race if all qualify.
There is some question as to
whether nominations yesterday
are legal, but unless some citizen
takes the matter to court Clerk
Cushman will put Barths name
on the ballot with Fawcett, Lynn
and Seymour If they all. qualify.
The candidates, however, must
all send written notice to the clerk
within five days of their petition
filing accepting the nomination.
This means that by next Monday
the acceptances must all be IN.
If Seymour, Lynn or Barth think
the candidates are getting 100
thick and decide to keep out all
they have to do is neglect to send
In an acceptance.
The mayor does not have to file
any acceptance as his name goes
on the ballot without any formal
ity.
Barth will not run as a social
list. He cannot.
The charter expressly prohibits
any candidate from running as the
candidate of any party. This is
rather against him as he will not
be officially the party candidate
and will not have the prestige to
command the socialist vote he
might have if he was duly au-
thorized by the socialist party.

three hours the tug burned dis

At 1880 the tug was caught on
