FULLER'S VISIT
WITH JOHN p. CAMPBELU.

Probate Judge J. L. Fuller is
back home from the national en-
campment of the old soldiers at
Los Angeles, where he spent a
week. The old residents of Sho-
shone will be interested to hear the
Judge tell of his visit; of the
thousands of veterans still able to
walk in the line of a long parade
and after riding to the eneampment
from across the continent; of
the profusion of flowers strewn in
their way and the numerous other
marks of respect shown them in
the Great California city.
His account of meeting and visit
with John P. Campbell is recount
ed with the greatest pleasure. Mr..
Campbell, who is still hale and
hearty and able to enjoy a hun
dred and fifty mile automobile ride.
took Judge Fuller on such an out

of the old timers will remember
Mr.. Campbell as the Logan County
Sheriff when its seat was Sho-
shone and also as holding other
official trusts in Idaho.
They will be glad to know that
he has many of the comforts and

HALEY VISITED BY
BAD NIGHT FIRE
BARBER SHOP DRY
GOODS STORE AND SALOON
DESTROYED.

HALEY, Sept. i9.-A disastrous
fire in this town last night des-
trOyed the postOffice, a dry goods
store, a barber shop and one sa-
loon. The fire started in the rear
of the pOstoffice, where there was
a loss of everything except what
was carried in the safe.
Postmaster Joe Fuld telephoned
postmaster Z. H. Miles at an early
hour this morning advising him of
the visitation of the fire and ask
ing for temporary office supplies,
which were promptly forwarded by
Mr.. Miles by the morning train up
the branch from ShOshOne. Fuld
carried S1f00 insurance, which will
not cover half of his loss. The
other losses were estimated as
prOportionately heavy.
1t is understood the town wat
er supply was temporarily cut off
for repairs to the system and that
there was a delay in getting the
fire apparatus to work.

HOMICIDE RESULT
OF FARMERS DUEL
TEsIPLET0N STARTS TO SHOOT
BUT STEVENSON Is QUICKER
WITH WEAPON.

HALEY, Sept. i8.-A man named
Templeton was instantly killed this
afternoon in a duel with Willis Ste
venson. The shooting occurred on
Willow Greek.
Templeton was a newcomer and
not we'll known here. Stevenson
is an old resident and a well-to-do
rancher. He owned two ranches on
Willow creek and had sold a ranch
adjoining the one he lived on to
Templeton. Shortly after Temple
ton came to this section Mrs. Ste
yenson went to live with him, and
bad blood arose between the two
men. Last week Stevenson filed
suit for divorce against his wife.
Today Stevenson was on his ranch
killing weazels with a rifle, when
Templeton rode up. Without say
ing a word, it is said, Templeton
drew a revolver and attempted to
shoot, but Stevenson shot him in
the head with the rifle.
Stevenson has been held for mur-
der.

TRIALS COMMENCE
WITH WEAVER CASE
WHICH Is SET FOR NEXT MON
DAY-B0THWELL'S CAMPAIGN
INTERRUPTED.

The District Court, with Judge
Walters on the bench, has been oc-
cupied during the week with
the assignments of cases for trial,
the hearing of numerous demurr-
ers and other preliminaries for the
important trials, which will begin

TELLS BAD LUCK
STORY OF EUROPE
ALMOST TOTAL CROP FAILURE
FARMERS HANG HAY AND
GRAIN On FENCES.

POCAIELLO, Sept. t8.-Cold and
rain for the past week OF so may
have set back crops in Idaho, but
think what has happened in Europe
Edgar Smith, a former pocatello
boy, now located in the practice of
his profession OF civil engineer
ing at Stockton, Cal, who with his
father and mother of this city, are
touring Europe, writes to the edi-
tor of the Tribune from Christi
ania, Norway, as follows:
I'VE have been enjoying few
nice days amid beautiful scenery in
Norway and Sweden, but for the
most part the weather has been
against us. Press dispatches re-
port that most of the grain crops
over the whole of Europe aud
England have been ruined. In
Northern Germany the oats are
standing in shocks and the grain
is sprouting in the heads. In
and Sweden the farmers are
hanging their hay and grain on
fence rails and tying them up on
high stakes in their efforts to dry
them out sufficient to haul them
in. Most of the summer resorts
have closed in France and Ger
many because it has been so cold
during the esason."
The Smiths state that they will

PIONEERING WAY
FOR GOOD ROADS
SPLENDID PUBLIC SERVICE IS
UNDERTAKEN BY HIGHWAY
DISTRICT OFFICIALS.

The first work in the systematic
road improvement, it might more
properly be called scientific road
improvement in Shoshone district,
which was pioneered by Senator F.
w. Gooding, was commenced Mon
day morning. Under orders from
Commissioners Gooding, Newman
and Wallace. Mark L. Kidwell took
out a force of powder men to cut
new crossing over the forbidding
lava beds that lie between this town
and the Big Wood river. The
new road will shorten the distance
a mile and half to the fertile
and productive lands that lie along
the river and stretch away TO the
foothills of the north and east, it
being intended to eliminate a loop
that bends to the west and follow
section lines very closely in the
new road.
1t is proposed also to erect new
steel bridge to span the Big Wood
river at a point near the Novinger-
Darrah lower ranch house. For
this bridge the board asks for bids
by advertising just issued accord
ing to plans prepared by County
Engineer Ed. S. Smith.
The Commissioners had some
trouble to find just the right sort
of gravel needed for the right
sort of road out over the lava
until a pit was found on the ranch
near where the river crossing is
to be made. Here the material de-
sired is not only the best possible
to be had but is found in abundance
and may be easily handled. Better
still, the owners have generously
it in unlimited quantities
without any charge. 1t is said to
carry the right amount of clay to
make an almost perfect Macadam
road, q road that will neither wash
n" wear into chuck holes
There will be about four miles of
this improved highway construct
ed with the least possible delay.
Other roads will be taken in hand
and improved just as rapidly as
possible to attend them.
The Commissioners will give the
work their personal supervision in
ali its details, according to plans of
/ skilled engineer. They serve with
,ut pay, taking the largest amount

CLYDE SENTER
KILLS HIMSELF
FORMER RESIDENT OF SHO-
SHONE SLASHES HIS THROAT
IN BOISE.

All the old residents of Shoshone
remember the Senter family, the
fine old pioneer father, Colonel
Almond S. Senter, now deceased,
the mother who still lives in Berk-
ley Cal, and the son Clyde, who
used to clerk in his fathers store
in this town and who killed him
self by slashing his throat with a
small pocket knife last Wednesday
afternoon in st. Luke's hospital in
Boise. He was 30 years of age. His
end came as a result of riotous,
reckless living and alcoholism was
at the bottom of his undoing.
George Tibbets was engaged to
look after the patient. According
to the story which Tibbets tells,
Senter would not lie in bed, but
would sit in a chair few minutes
get up and walk about the room,
fretting, and continually
cigarettes, while he (the
nurse) watched him as best that
he might.
Senter arose and walked TO the
dresser to get a cigarette but in
stead he plunged pocket knife in
his throat welding it with his right
hand, the blade was keen and cut
the flesh like paper severing the
carotid artery in two.

ating.
The decorations were blue and
white, the bride attired in white
lace and carried bouquet of white
astOrs. The bride was given away
by her brother, Henry Hill, the
wedding march was beautifully ren.
dered by Mrs. Henry Hill. The
groom is a prosperous business mar
from New York who will probably
locate in the west, and the bride
an esteemed and popular young
lady of Shoshone. After the cere-
mony the happy couple left for

home.
License to marry was issued also

TRAIN CREW NOT BLAMED.

The train crew of the train which
struck an automobile at Ontario on
September 9 and injured Randall
Sage, Mrs. Lavina Boswell and Mrs.
R. o. Horninge, was exonerated, as
were all other employees of the
railroad, by the Board of Inquiry
which met at Ontario Friday and
investigated the cause of the acci-
dent. The Board found that the
engineer of the train sounded the
whistle at the crossing where the
accident happened and shortly after
wards called for the train order
signal by four short blasts of the
whistle. The train had been slow
ed down to a speed Of from SIX
to twelve miles an hour. The en-
gineer and fireman were in their
places on the engine and look
ing ahead. The fireman was ring
ing the bell. The Board found
that the emergency brakes were
applied when the automobile was
seen crossing the tracks and that
the engineer did all in his power
to stop the train, but was unable
to do so before striking the auto
mobile. They found that the driv-
er of the automobile drove on to
the track without reducing speed

MAIL AUTO BURNED.

HALEY, Sept. i6.-The seven
passenger mail car that carries the
mail to and from the Prairie lies
on the Soldier road, about two and
one half miles west of Willow
Greek near the Blaine schoOlhouse,
mass of scrap.
w. J. Burns. the driver, left Cor
raj this morning on schedule time
with the mail. It so happened that
he had no passengers.
The car was running smoothly
until he reached the above named
place when in an instant flames
shot upward from under his feet.
Most men under such a position
would have jumped from the car
and made their getaway for fear of
a gasoline explosion but the driver
determined to save the mail and
was successful with the exception
of an empty sack, but in doing so
cut one of his hands.
The cause of the conflagration
was probably leakage of gasoline.
The car when new was worth
s25O0 and the loss will be about
$1,000.
The Furcht, Fowler and Stinson
Auto Company, upon being advis-
ed by phone, sent out another car
this afternoon, and brought the
mail and driver to town. The
driver left this afternoon as usual
on the run TO Soldier and Corral.

that we ourselves are glad and thankful. The blessings are ours and we have the privilege of giving to the world all that is bright; the exterior must not outshine the interior: the heart must stimulate the life-the real purpose of this glorious day. One wonders sometimes if the privilege of arraying ourselves in ''our best' has not been abused-to our own detriment- and of more importance still, the fact that the less fortunate shrinking from present. ing themselves at the feast in simple at tire prevents them from entering the real spirit of the day and this sensitiveness in others does not make the happiness com plete as the celebration intends.
 Fashion has encroached on every privil- ege given: it has driven contentment from numberless doors, and it dictates too much in our sacred duties Nothing so dominates the earth earthly as that style that alieniates the interests of all classes. that divides the common interests of peo pie. Applause is fictitious average of true worth as far as apparel is concerned. Of course one must observe the rules of decorum. of cleanliness, of neatness. but after all the plumage does not offect the character, and because of lack of means to show up'' with your neighbor should not deprive a single individual of the tri- umphant happiness of Easter day.
 Yesterday the millinery stores were crowded with buyers; the writer fingered to catch the spirit: "Oh, l must have 1t for Sunday"' Why because it is Easter time that we rejoice in the pleasure of living in the world beautiful, with the ex- ample of a Christ life? Or just because other people have new hats. or because we simply see ourselves mrrored in be- coming style? After viewing the shapes, the trimming and reading the "tryer on,' one thinks certainly there is too much show manifest after all in everything we do and what we wear. and this show keeps many people too hard worked too tired, who really need the recreation of a Sun days good sermon.'
 There seems to be predominant amount of "crust' in much that we do, and when that is broken it dscloses a 1c- titious living; we have clothed even our medicines too fine-have left out the heart and the figures begin to mar the tabeau.
 There are so many beautiful truths in every day life, so much good in every human we meet. that it Is a pity to de- prive ourselves and others of the power for good we each have by example. We are often looking for copy; we are ignor- ing the individuality so essential to per- sonality; we are apt to wait to see what Mrs. So and So has, and probably she does not do at all. and through this
