.RETR|BUT|ON AFTER
THIRTY ONE YEARS
Sensational Charges Against Mayor
Brannoek by Citizen of GaIsx, Vir-
glnia-Aceused of Deserving Wife
and Children Thirty One Years
Ago In Tennessee.

Did H. ]. Brannock, Payette's pres
ent Mayor, years ago in Tennessee
desert his wife and five children,
leaving the woman he had sworn to
love, cherish and protect, with five
little ones dependent upon the char
ity Of their relatives or the public,
the deserted woman being at that
time in delicate condition and
about to bring into the world an
other one which by the wilfull de-
sertion of it's father would be left
with it's five sisters and brothers to
the shifting, uncertain care of pub
lie charity or relatives?
Did he at that time make mother
less two other children by departing
with the wife of another man? Is
this man, honored by the highest Of
flee within the gift of the people of
Payette, guilty of breaking up two
homes?
These are the questions that are
agitadng the home loving, fair mind
ed people OF Payette today.
Has this man, who after a short
residence of few months in our
city. was picked up by a coterie of
certain men, and recommended as
man qualified in every respect to
govern the people of the city Of
Payette, been guilty of conduct that
would mark him as man unfit for
positions of trust and honor?
The following letter tells a story
which if true marks him as man
of this character and sharply an
swers the above questions:

BOY HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
Sheldon Turner Breaks Through Ice
on PresteI Slough While Skating
Lands in Six Feet of Water
But Escapes by Own Resources.

Saturday while skating on the Pres
tel slough and at time when there
were no other skaters near enough
to assist him Sheldon Turner, the
eight year old son OF Rev. and Mrs.
George Turner. broke through the
ice and plunged into six feet of wa
ter. The young man had very
narrow escape and it was only by
keeping his presence of mind and
holding on to the edges of the brok-
en ice with his elbows that he at
last succeeded in getting out of the
ice cold water and safely to shore.
During his struggles in the water
he lost skate and it was while
he was trying to recover it that
= neighbor woman noticed his
drenched condition and taking him
into her horne the lady phoned his
parents who went for him.
A small crowd of skaters was on
the slough but quite a way above
the lad and as he made no outcry
pone of them knew of the accident
until after he was safe.

REV. TURNER TEND
ERS RESIGNATION
Pastor of Presbyterian Church Re-
signs Pastorate Here-Resiena-
tion Accepted With Regret-ooes
to Pennsylvania to Take Charge
Of New chautauqua Organizations.

Rev. George Turner, pastor of the
Presbyterian church of this city
rendered his resignation on last Sun
day morning to his congregation ts
take effect at their pleasure. The
resignation came with considerable
surprise and was accepted with re
gret.
Rev Turner resigns here to go to
Philadelphia and enter upon the
Chautauqua field of labor where he
win have charge OF organizing new
chautauquas for the Pennsylvania
Chautauqua association in the win
ter months and in the summer will
be platform manager for a circuit
of these chautauquas.
The new association has for it's
aims many things that are neglect
ed in every day life and is organ
lied not for the purpose of amuse-
ment alone but also with a definite
aim in view,
Rev. Turner came to Payette in
September 1908 and accepted call
to the Presbyterian church. During
his pastorate here he has made
many warm friends who while they
will regret his departure from this
city will also be pleased to know
that he is entering upon a broad
field of labor and one wherein he
can give full play to his peculiar
talents along that line.
The chautauqua work is not new
to Rev. Turner as he has been en-.
gagged in it before and the success
which attended his former efforts
will be sufficient assurance to his
friends that in securing him the
Pennsylvania associations are to be
congratulated. His connection with
the Idaho Chautauqua in the past
has demonstrated his ability along
this line.
In speaking of his departure Mr.
Turner said, Il do not feel that
am leaving Payette permanently. My
residence here has been pleasant
along all lines and l shall still hold
my young orchard tract and devel-
op it and hope that when It comes
to bearing, circumstances and con-
ditions shall be such that shall
again make my home in this pleas
ant valley"
