of. The rooms in the cave are huge
lava bubbles, so to speak, and there
is no reason why the place should
not be made into one of the most de-
lightful curioisities in the world.
From the fact that there is a strong,
wet breeze blowing from one direc-
tion and a hot, dry breeze from an
other it is apparent that there are
two other openings in the cave one
to the river and another to the plain
land.
81 shall propose to the Shriners
that they hold their next meeting in
the cave, which is one of the finest
spots in the state for such an affair. -
1t is said that the cave offers in

SHEEP MEN IN TROUBLE OVER
GRAZING GROUND AND
ONE Is KILLED
Preliminary Trial Before Judge Gray
Today.-Reports Conflicting Con-
,cerning Cause of the Trouble
Both Well Known in the City.

A dispute over grazing ground for
sheep about twenty-five miles north
west Of the city caused trouble which
resulted in the death of Colvin King,
a sheep herder in the employ of NJ.
c. Swain, late last Saturday after
noon.
Henry Wayte, who is well known
in the vicinity and who comes from
one of the old time and highly re-
spected families, was caring for a
band of sheep belonging to Robert
Chattin, Jr. Golvin King was tending
the sheep for Mr.. Swain. Last Sat
urday they got into trouble over
their respective rights to certain
grazing ground and the quarrel lead
to the use of guns. The facts are
not known but it is generally under
stood that King threatened to drive
Wayte from the vicinity and Wayte
refused to 60 King made threats
and an apparent effort to get his
gun to use on Wayte when Wayte
pulled up his gun and fired. The shot
took effect and King lived only a
few minutes Wayte started for town
and gave himself up to the sheriff.
The body of King was examined by
the coroner next day and an inquest
held. The verdict of the inquest was
that King came to his death by a
shot from a deadly weapon in the
hands of some unknown person" His
remains we're shipped to his former
home in North Carolina for burial
Very little information is obtain
able concerning the shooting scrape
owing to the preliminary trial which
is under way today. Judge Wolfe
has been retained by the defense

the Mcnamara case at Los Angeles.
Henry Crabbe opened the meeting.
He stated that there were already
700, 900 socialists in the United Stat
es. over 12.O0O,OvO socialist voters
in the world and over Vv,OOO.OO~
adherents.
Miss Malley gave an outline of the
incidents that led up to the arrest of
Mcnamara for dynamiting and said
the meeting was to protest against
the high handed outrage by which he
was arrested and denied the right of
bail or an appeal to the courts of
Indiana.
She did not propose to try the case
but spoke of it as an incident in the
fight of union labor by the capital
lists. Then she gave an outline Of
the general socialist position. its aims
and central ideas. The arena of the
bread struggle, she said, was owned
by the capitalists; what socialists de-
manded was to own this arena, to
have control of the machinery of pro-
duction and distribution of the ne
cessities of life. She claimed the cap
italistic class had the machinery for
molding public opinion, the schools,
the press. the church.
She called The Statesman down for
publishing that Emma Goldman was
a socialists. whereas she is an anar-
chist She thought the raking up of
all the dynamiting and Molly Nc
Guire cases by the press controlled
by capitalists was done for the pur-
pose of creating an adverse public
opinion against Mcnamara She said
the ministers who came out and
preached the doctrine of the rights OF
man were cast out of the churches
referring in this connection to the
preacher in Butte who was cast out
and who is now the mayor of Butte
and to Rev. Brown of Salt Lake, vel
known as a former preacher in the
Unitarian church. She referred te
the monopolization of the magazines
by the Morgan crowd to control pub
lie opinion.
A protest against the kidnapping o
Mcnamara was numerously signed
The Madams w. ~ and Harry Yos
delighted the audience with severa
musical numbers.

A NEW RAILROAD
Line VIII Cut Across Gilmore Coun-
" Near Dixie and Pat Boise
on Main Line.

Another railroad lac through FL
more county is ass dred According
to latest and best report work will
be started on the line within the
next 30 days The road according to
the map will cut across the country
near Dixie and continue on water
grade along Boise river to Boise and
on to Payette where is will join the
main line of the o. S L. The road
will be a branch of the o. S. L. line
leaving the main line at Owinza, be-
tween Shoshone and Minidoka and
strike North for Richfeld, through
Camas Prairie and to Elmore coun-
ty and on through to Payette.
AS a result of the new road new
town has been started on Camas
Prairie to be known as New Soldier.
The new town will be about a mile
and a half south of the present town
of Soldier and it is thought will abb
sorb the old town in the near future.
The new line will mean greater de-
velopment of the northern resources
of this comfy, both in mining and
stock and also will have a tendency of
cutting Mountain Home off from a
good trading territory.
Regarding the latest developments
the Richfield Recorder prints the fol-
lowing:
A. o. Harris of the o. S. L. en-
gineering force, and right of way
man for this branch of their work,
/ is now working out of Richfield, pilot
ed by V. " Bower. He expects to
finish work up to the county line
or up to the open government land
near the big dam, within a week OF
ten days. The government has Civ
en- a right of way across all the un-
appropriated public lands; the right
of way on the settled portion Oi
Camas Prairie has been secured by
purchase or by gift; so that only the
Richfeld division remains to be Sc
cured. On the far west end, there is
long stretch through the public
lands along the upper Boise river
and the whole 22O miles of the Ida
no Central could be closed up within
few days.
While it is not definitely so stat
ed by any one in position to know
there is good reason to believe tina
the main line" will become a real
ity in the near futune. 1t may be ex
pected that the Richfeld-Camas Prair
ie line, 90 miles, will be the onl.
actual building this year. Yet Bois
is too important not to have a mali
line; the o. S. L. needs double lin
across Idaho; a large part of tn
country would be profitable; and tn
continued activity of the engineer
indicates more than a political pro
mise. Should general financial con
ditions be good next year, the 22o
mile road is a reasonable certaint
for that time; and it is a good CUES
that it would have gone through thi
year, but for the general quiet fin
ances.
