The country at large was unpre-
pared for the announcement that
was sent out from Los Angeles last
Friday that the Mcnamara Brothers
had entered plea of guilty to the
charge of dynamiting the Times
Office i'm that city in October 1910,
causing the death of 81 persons.
Following this confession of guilt
the men were brought before the
court on Tuesday of this week, j
b. who admitted placing the dyna'
mite in the Times Office receiving ;
life sentence, while his brother j. J
was given a sentence of ID years.

MILKING TIME.
Over One Hundred Dairy Cows Ad-
ded to the Tract.

On Friday last the shipment of
dairy cows consigned to the farmers
of Jonathan Valley, arrived at Falls
City, over the Oregon Short Line,
arrangements having been made to
receive them there, instead of un-
loa ding at Shoshone. The ship
ment consisted of l19 head, mostly
two-year old high grade Holstein
heiiers, either with calf or calves by
their side. There were four Guern-
seys among the number, bought ex-
pressly for MIR. Walter Copp.
The cows were in charge of Mr.
j. II. Young, of the Sterling Dairy
Products Co., of Twin Falls who
personally superintended the selec-
ton of the same. The animals
were shipped from Belvedier, H.,
the center of the great Rock River
dairy section, but owing To extreine
weather in the east and poor rail
road service, four of the number died
enroute. After unloading, the cows
were driven to the Towle farm wher,
they were separated in groups of
each, the purchasers deciding theil
choice hy lots.
This shipment of COWS means
much 10 the farmers of that sectiuI
of the tract in az much n il pro
vides a means of obtaining read,
cash for their product. Much cred
il is due the Managers of the Ster
ling Co. for their success in bringing
about the arrangements which mad
il possible for the farmers to pro
cure these COWS and pay for then
from the cream delivered To tin
creamery. a cream route Will b
established at once to accommodate
these patrons.

RABBITS FOR PITTSBURG.
A Carload of Jacks To Be Shipped
From Jerome To That Point
Next Week.

No little amount of sarcasm was
INDUCED in by some Of the smart .
ones over little item that, as usual,
made its first appearance in the
TINES last week, to the effect that
Bob Frazer was contemplating
shipping car load of Jack Rabbits
to the eastern market. Events the
past week, however, have demon
stratcd that as usual, the TINES
knew what it was talking about.
On Saturday last the announce
ment was made by hand bills that
Frazer and Zahn would pay SPOT
cash for 5000 Jack Rabbits deliv-
cred in Jerome. Immediately every
one who owned a gun or knew
where they could borrow one, com
menced to get busy and the report
Of heavy firing could he heard
from every section of the tract on
Sunday.
Monday was the day set for re-
ceiving the game, and six cents
each was the price agreed upon
Early Monday morning wagons he
gan To arrive, loaded with Il hun
dred or more each, and before
nightfall nearly two thousand had
been received. Tuesday morning

throughout the day, and at thi,

much time in the selection OF jury,
but before any evidence had been
taken the accused men upon advice
of their attorney made full confes-
sion of the outrage, hoping in this
manner to receive some mercy at
the hands of the court. The history
of this case is long and interesting
one and has been the subject of
much discussion in labor circles, as
the men had always been believed
innocent and large fund had been
raised for their defense. 1t is charged
that the plea of guilty was made to
protect others higher up, but be this
rs it may, it is not likely that the
matter will be dropped with this con-
fession, but that the door has been
opened to a searching investigation
of incidents leading up TO the per-
petration of the crime, and the pub
lie may not be surprised to learn OF
even more startling disclosures a
this investigation proceeds.

SUIT FOR DAMAGE =.

Last week William Trail of Chi
cago, through his attorneys, Horni-
brook & Hornibrook, filed a suit in
the district court of this county,
against the Twin Falls North Side
Land & Water company, asking
damages in the sum of S3OOO be-
cause of the alleged failure Of the
defendent company To furnish water
to the plaintiff during the last irri-
eating season, causing damages to
his crops in the sum stated. We
are informed the case raises point
never adjudicated in this state, and
il therefore of interest to every set
tier on a Carey Act project. The
case will probably be transferred to
the federal court. General ;. IL.
Hays of Boise will have charge OF
the defense. Mr.. Trail is Chica-
go capitalist and one of the princi-
pal owners of the Thompson-Traill
company, and will, if necessary
carry the case through to the court
of last resort. The outcome OF
the litigation will be watched
with interest by land owners on the
several tracts. Twin Falls Chron
icle.
Several suits of this nature have
been inaugurated, which were in
tended to settle the question of tn
liability of the Water Co. in thei
failure to furnish n sutiicien
amount of water, and the settler
were looking forward to a final ad
, Indication of this question, but thu
far none of the cases have eve
come to trial, the company, Ia
/ some reason, preferring to settl
them ont of court, and we predic
that the same course will be pul
sued in the action above mentioned

Sunnyside Valley.

The Sunnyside Valley Gun Club held
meeting at Fred Otto's the other even
ing at which time Chairman Erdman
suggested having a shooting match, and
as no other object was AT hand, they de-
cided to practice on Jack Rabbits. Capt.
George Cramer and Lieut.. James Erick-
son got their twelve sharp shooters in
line and the fun began. Each purchased
the smokeless powder, otherwise the val
ley would have been black with smoke
from the heavy firing OF the guns. Joe
Schneeberger with two teams gathered up
two wagon loads oi dead rabbits which
were sold to Bob Frazer. 1t paid them
for their ammunition with some profit
besides, and relieved the country of sey-
eral hundred Jacks.

He Prefers Jerome

In letter received from Mr.. F.. X.
Smith, dated at Denver, he emphatically
states that after looking over the country
around Canyon City and other points,
he still prefers jerome for various reasons
At Canyon City the fruit trees do not
begin to bear nearly as soon as they do
in this section and even after coming in
to bearing the yield is far below the av
erage here, as he states that i've year
old tree here will produce as much fruit
as Il 10 year old tree in that section. The
fruit is also inferior in quality as it does
not bring a. good Il price on the market
Mr. Smith reached Denver i'll time To
attend the Apple Show, and as he is
deeply interested in fruit culture he learned
much To his interest while there. He
found that Il good preventative for rabbits
is simply white lead and raw linseed oil,
mixed well together and applied TO the
trees. In conversation with apple grow
ers Of several years experience he has
gained much valuable information and
advice which will be followed 10y him in
the future. Mr.. Smith expects to reach
| Chicago before the close of the Land Show
where he expects to CLEAN further iniorma-
ton in the matter OF fruit growing, and
will then 90 east into the great Chatauqua
district. wher,. he expects To spend the
| winter.

They were then packed in crates
holding three dozen each. The
destination of the car is Pitttshurg,
Pa, the contents being consigned
to Day & Co., large commission
house of that city. The car will he
kept iced throughout the trip, in
surfing the arrival there of the rab-
bits in good condition and as they
hang in front of the meat markets
with the placards attached, no one
will pass without reading the in
scription.
This is probably the first ship
ment of Il like nature ever attempt
ed in Idaho, and the result will be
eagerly awaited by all. While
everyone wishes the instigators of
this scheme all the success imagin-
able, they will be satisfied to break
even on the deal, rs it is consid-
cred by all to he the best advertis-
ing stunt ever pulled off on the
tract. On the other hand il serves
as a medium for the determination
of these pests, and at the same time
allows liberal compensation to the
sportsman. Messrs. Frazer a Zahl
are entitled to no small amount q
credit for the venture, and shoul(
this attempt prove successful othe
shipments will follow at once
Hurrah for Frazer, Zahn and tn
Rabbits.

SORRY WE AWOKE HIM.

OuT cOlillllcnlS on lil tIlhlt iIDlll |
the Shoshone Journal a couple Of |
weeks ago in reference to the action |
of the Business Mems Association in |
dropping the name of Twin Falls, |
when referring to the tract, brought |
the staid old News out of its trance,
and awoke the editor from his a.
600 acre dream long enough for
him to record several items OF pass
ing events along railroad and 9TH
er lines that had appeared in the
columns Of the TINES several weeks
previous, and to turn in and thrash
us for not knowing everything
that il going on in an AssOcia-
tion of which we are not mem
Der. We have always read the
reports Of the proceedings Of the
Business Mems Association with
much interest as they appeared in
the News, but up to to this time we
have never seen line mentioning
the action taken in regard to drop
ping the name OF Twin Falls, and
now that we have learned from
members of the Association that
such official action was taken, we
congratulate the Journal on Civ
ing Us the correct dope on the
matter, and apologize to the Asso-
citation.
Referring To the train load of po-
tatoes that was shipped from Je-
rome, We do not understand the
meaning OF the News when it says
that "the Times studiously avoided
mentioning it, On Nov. 10th
the News gave its readers lot of
bunk" about train load of po-
tatoes that WAS Ia be shipped direct
Ia Greeley, with banners flying on
each car, and Il man To accompany
them TO see that the banners were
left there. The train load was
shipped on the 18th, and in our is
sue of Nov. 23rd, the TINES gave q
correct report of this train, the des
tination of each car, and the fact
that one car which was shipped by
Mr.. Bridges to Mr.. Pence, at Ault
Colo. had banner attached to i
announcing that the contents were
from the Great North Side Tract
VIII the News kindly tell its read
ers which of the two papers gav'
the most correct account of TIN
shipment of potatoes?
Further on the dreamy edito
states that never, since its first is
sue three years ago, has the New
referred to the Twin Falls" Nortl
Side Tract, and yet it keeps stand
ing in the most prominent place i
the paper the announcement,
Pioneer Newspaper of
Twin Falls
North Side Tract.
Come out of your trance. brother
and admit that the News has neve
mentioned u word about droppin
the name of Twin Falls until I'll
matter was brought to the attentio
of our people through the column
of the TIMES. We are please
however, to see our neighbor brigh
en- up a little on some questions
local Importance outside oi wh'
the Water Company is doing, an
we have heard many compliment
extended to the News upon its in
proved appearance since the I'M
was established here. Keep up Il
good work brother, and the TIM
will endeavor to keep you post'
on important events, that you ms
have an opportunity to record the
even if il does necessitate son
foolish criticism of the TINES 4
beating you to it"

Fans Express Opinions
Through Ballots Print
ed Daily.
GREAT VARIETY OF
OPINION EXISTS
Want $3.50 O'clock Start,
and Some Prefer Hour
Later.

The flow Of ballots from the baseball
fans OF Washington who are voting on
the most popular time OF starting the
ball games at National Park continues,
but the question is as far as ever from
settled.
For the first time fan has suggested
splitting the half hour, and wants 3:45
set as the time for the beginning OF
play, but the vast majority choose
either $50 or 4:30, with little difference
in the number voting for each of these.
E.sJ. Cunningham. of l4l9 w street
northwest, is especially anxious to have
4:30 set, pointing out on the bottom Of
. the ballot that he believes suci: an ar
rangement would mean a gain Of a
daily average of 1000 spectators from
the different Government offices, the
. clerks experiencing difficulty in reach
ing the park at $3.50.
The voting contest will close at the
end OF the present week, and as the
question is of vital Importance to all
who are regular patrons of the ball
park, The Times plan is to allow the
fans an opportunity to express their
feelings on the. matter, and when the
contest closes the results will be pub
lished and presented to the management
. for its consideration.
The blank ballots are printed on the
sporting page, and should be either
mailed to the Sporting Editor or left at
; the business office of The Times. in the
Munsey Building.
