But as such damages were not
pleaded, we think the court did not
err in holding that the only DANA
gcs Miss Somnerville could recover
under her plcadings was the amount
paid on the water right, with legal
interest thereon from the date OF
payment. In that view Of the case
the judgment must be affirmed, and

Echoes of the much heraldc,l
Bruncau project are again rcSound-
ing throughout this section and the
latest information which has reached
these parts is Ia the effect that the
people who are now hacking and IN
control of the big project, have
made definite plans, following the
adoption Of the engineers report
and the surveys, Ia start work early
this year. Ii is only the fear that
the placing upon the market Of =
large a block of stock H. 600, O,WE

prevented them from starting w"rl
sooner. The estimated cost of th'

The frank and open explanation
Of the Judge Budge decision, rs
made 10y Commissioner Spcaknan
last week cannot help but appeal
to every fair minded voter and tax
payer in the county and silence this
cry of fraud and dishonesty that
has been made against the county
government without any foundation
for the same. In the trial OF the
case n most searching investigation
was made of the acts of the com
missioners, and rs the Judge stated
no semblancc of fraud or attempted
fraud was found. II is true that III
following the lvicc of the county
attorney some Irregularities hay,
crept into their proceedings, bu'
these are insignificant as compared
to some of the charges made agains
them, which have all been refuted
The friends of Mr. Massey in thi'
part Of the county, where he is wei
known, simply laugh at the sill,
insinuations flung at him from N
irresponsible source, and the SAINT
is true of other officers of the count,
who have been the subjects of vii
lifcation at the hands of a few polit
ical aspirants.

After a legal battle which has

against the Chicago Packers, last

for violations of the Sherman anti

Twin Falls county has probably
achieved the distinction of building
more roads in one day than was
ever before accomplished. On Thurs
day last, business men, politicians,
common citizens and others all

accomplished the task of rounding
up 20 miles of good turnpike in one
day, reaching from Buhl /" Ham

There is now probably no question
~ 10 the candidacy of Senator Fred
A. Gooding for reelection this fall.
II is stated that up to the present
fine he has not officially proclaimed
himself, preferring to await the ac-
lion of the National Wool Ware
house Association, in elccting new
president. As this association has
made the salary such that Mr.
Gooding could not accept the posi-
ton again, it is the one best bet
that he will soon announce himscl
as a candidate for Senator again.

CHAIR PROBABLY DELAYED.
Governor Refuses to Commute Hyde's
Sentence-May Appoint COmmis.
sion to Report On Sanity.

The request of Attorney L. L. Rice,
If Anderson, of Governor Blease, to
commute the death sentence of Sam
uel n. Hyde to life Imprisonment, and
he governors refusal, followed by
request for commission to examine
into the sanity of Hyde, which the
governor promised to appoint, brings
forward the fact that it is hardly
possible that the electric chair at the
penitentiary will be completed in>time
for the first electrocutions, that of
Isaiah Butler and John Cole, the two
Charleston negroes under sentence to
die in the electric chair on June 81
Hyde, who killed his wife and her
father, is sentenced to die on July 5.
A negro from Walhalla is sentenced to
die on July 5, and one from Anderson
On July II.
If the chair is not completed in
time for the electrocution, and there is
little doubt that it will be completed
by June q, the governor will likely
be asked to grant the condemned men
reprieves until such time as the chair
can be installed, which may be early
in July. The board of the peniten-
tiary meets next Wednesday, at which
time some definite statement may be
securd as to when the electric chair
and the death chamber will be COM
pleted.

Colonel Serves Notice of Bolt

Oyster Bay, n. J., June S.-The Re-
publicans of the country were called
upon tonight by Col. Roosevelt to pro-
test against the action of the Republi-
can national committee in ruling upon
the contest for seats in national con-
vention from the Ninth Alabama dis
trict. The colonel served notice upon
his opponents that, in his opinion, the
party as whole repudiate nomina-
ton if it were obtained in defiance of
justice"
He declared that every man who
wishes to see the party continue to ex-
ist should protest at once against
those who are deliberately trying to
wreck it."
"The leaders," said the colonel,
speak as if they were the regular
Republicans. I do not concede that
theft is test of regularity"
Col. Roosevelt's statement was Civ
en- out after an all-afternoon confer
ence. He was in constant touch over
his private wires during the day with
Senator Dixon and his other lieuten-
ants in Chicago. He also consulted
with a number of his supporters who
visited him.
