PICTURE SHOWS
AND ICE CREAM
CAUSE TROUBLE FOR Eek HOL-
DER, AND HE DID NOT WAIT
TO HEAR THE END.

Considerable excltemant was crea"
ted at the Central wagon yard last
night when it became rumored that
perhaps the police would have to deal
with a white SLAYER.
1t seems that family by the name
of Stark, consisting of a mother and
two twin daughters, thirteen years
of age were on their way from Boone
vile Texas, to Ada, Okla. They Sc
cured quarters at the wagon yard
and prepared to spend the night
here.
Early in the evening Eek Holder,
a we'll known character about town
called and persuaded one of the girls
to attend the picture show with him,
They visited the shows and afterward
went to a local ice cream factory
where Holder, it is said, purchased
some cream and returned with the
girl to the wagon yard. Time flew
more rapidly than the two suspected
and it was nearly two o'clock before
they finally showed up at the yard
where they found the mother of the
girl in a towering rage and was call
ing for the police Holder stood for
q few moments only when he con :
cluded it was time for him to get
away from there. He left and the po-
lice have been trying to locate him
ever since but without results. This
morning the county attorney question
ed the girl and from her statement
it appeared to Mr.. Bleakemore that
there was nothing to the case, the
girl simply stated that Holder treated
her to the picture shows and to ice
cream but left rather hurriedly when
her mother began to register such
vigorous kick.
Holder has figured quite frequently
in the city court and Mayor Roberts
stated this morning that he believed
he had a case wherein general prin-
cples" was a predominant feature it
Holder was ever brought before him.

counties, showing a total vote of ap

Secretary Riley says, the total vote

approximate normal vote of 250,000.

amendment authorizing counties to
abolish the township form of gov

vote on Section closely following.
President Pete Stewart of the. Mine
Workers tonight said he thought thai
Section IS of the mining act had
been repealed by a vote of 4 to !.
Every place heard from the miners
won their fight.
State Senator c. c. Shaw of Tlsh
omingo, one of the active campaign
ers for adoption of the amendment
tc Section 8, declared tonight that
the affirmative side of the question
would have an individual majority of
not less than 10000, and that the
constitutional majority, he believed,
would be better than 10000. This
is based upon scattering advices re-
ceived by the headquarters from
practically all sections of the state,
which show that the railroad sec
tons affirmative vote is running
good race with the miners referen-

Report on instruction.
In addition to the general report, Dr.
Elliott of Wisconsin, who remained
over in Boise for a week and visited
the schools while in session. made
report on the instruction, which is as
follows:
"To the Honorable Board of Education
Independent School District,
Boise. Idaho.

have suggested to the superintendent
of schools and the supervisors that II
large use be made of certain recognized
standards for elementary school sub
jects. Such standards now exist in

Conclusion.
Il cannot refrain from emphasizing
one conspicuous feature of tie work
of all the schools; that is, tie recog-
milton on the part of all superis and
teachers that the work OF &c schools
is not perfect and that thek have not
rendered their full responsibility to the
community and to children until every
Individual and collective lendeavor has
been made to accomplish larger and

This may be regarded as the biggest
asset of the schools and the children
