VICTIM OF
OUTRAGE
Caldwell Boy Is Horribly
Burned During Initia-
ton Into Society

The particulars of what mar
rowly escaped being one OF the
most horrible tragedies since the
assassination of Governor Steun
enburg, came to light this week,
although the strenuous endeav
ers of Boise's most prominent
citizens kept the voices OF the TWO
daily papers of that city hushed
and quiet.
Two weeks ago party OF Boise
high school lads led II Caldwell
young man who is attending the
Boise school TO the residence oi
Mr.. Erb, near Boise, intending
to initiate him into high school
'.trat."
According to the meager de-
tails that have just leaked out,
the boys congregated in the barn
and proceeded to put Harold
Kahn Of this city through some
"tests" that came near causing
his death after the most excruci-
ating agony.
Young Kahn was stripped OF
his clothing by these young ruf-
tiians, and then subjected to the
most a bhorrent indignitles,
which eliminated in the painting
of his abdomen and lower limbs,
back and front, with "a mixture
of gun-cotton and ether-one OF
the most inhammable substances
known TO science. When this was
done hot tallow from a lighted
candle was poured on his person.
| The flame OF the caldle ignited
the infammable coating which
covered young Kahn, and in a
fash the boy was burned over
the most tender part OF the hu-
man body = burned horribly.
His shrieks of the most intense
agony dlleo the night air, and
one Of the boys, prominent as a
foot racer, ran as he never ran
before to procure medical assist
ance.
Tossing in the throes of untold
torture, driven entirely out oil
his mind by the excruciatlng
agoLy of the burns, Young Kahn
was with great difficulty held by
his comrades until DR.. Pittinger
arrived at the scene of the out
rage.
DIR Pittinger recognized the
gravity of the case and at once
|. started the latest treatment with
the hope of saving the lads life.
Serious burns over the lower alb
domen are exceedingly grave,
owing to the danger of infanma
tion of the peritoneum. The
young man was taken to st. AL
phonsus hospital and for some
few days the medical authorities
of the capital city were fearful
that the lad would not be able
to recover, but slowly the sound
constitution of the young man
won, and today he is able TO be
about.
Two days after the awful ex
p.rience OF the boy, the parents
we're notified and Mr.. Kahn at
once went up TO Boise, bent on
obtaining summary justice. The
authorities of the high school
. prevailed upon MIR Kahn to keeI
the matter quiet, assuring him
' that all the expense incurred
} would be borne by the boys i'm
plicated = their parents being
e the most prominent business anc
professional men of Boise. Il
was pointed out to Mr.. KahI
that if the papers of Caldwell
printed the story, the Salt LAX
!; and Portland papers would blaz
= : on the disgraceful happening
:, upon pages that would receiv
y attention from the whole coun
n try, ard that the school woul'
= receive untoward criticism. Mr.
q Kahn finally agreed to hell
maintain silence and endeavo
TO keep the affair from the Cald
J. well papers Caldwell Tribune.

1t is a sorry time, some things con-
sidered. The choosing of a President
in troublous political days requires
about eighteen months of serious con-
sderation and that is more than one
third of the period for which he is
elected. Happily every contest fer the
selection of ruler is not as bitterly
fought out and the issues are not as
important as seems TO be the case at
present. Presidential selections there
have been which did not distract the
country for more than year and 9TH
ers that did not occupy the public
thought materially for more than half
Il year
We are now hardly more than half
through with the job of getting our
man into the White House for another
four years. More than seven months
must pass before we can have the
verdict. make our comments about it
and settle down to our private af-
fairs. The hefty part of the scrim-
mage is yet ahead for the campaign.
after the nominations have been made
in late June. will apparently be with
out precedent in vigor and aggression
for coralling votes.
And what will come out of it all?
Who can tell? Some good, undoubt-
edly and, patriots will hope. very lit
tie evil For in the meantime there
will have been rest period for other
activities which will eventually start
up with greatly renewed vitality. 1t
may usher in new era of general
satisfaction and prosperity.
