The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1913-04-25

Among the ruins of Melrose Abbey,
ivy covered and deserted, lies buried
the heart of Scotland's greatest king
Bruce. Why is it there, SO
far away from his grave at Dunferm-
line?
Bannockburn was the greatest
achievement of Bruces life. This de-
cisive battle was fought on June "a,
1914. Robert Bruce was born in 1874,
at time when Scotland was strug-
Cling fiercely to throw off the yoke
OF England under Edward |. Bruce
grew up with the love of freedom
strongly implanted in his heart He
was a natural leader.
Finally bis chance came. On March
81, 1906, he bad himself crowned king
of Scotland; but he was as yet a king
without a kingdom. He gathered his
supporters together and overran
Scotland until only Berwick, Stirling,
and Pothwell remained to the Eng
fish. Edward l. had died, and Edward
H.. a weak and unstable man, was on
the British throne.
But even this weakling now saw
that unless strong blow was struck
Scotland would be lost. He assembled
his army and advanced on Bruce. And
then Bruce, by wonderful exhibition
OF strategy, rapidity of movement, and
personal bravery, so decisively de-
feated him that the complete route of
the Englishh determined the indie
pendence of Scotland and confirmed
the title of Bruce.
After peace had been made the new
king of Scotland proved himself as

The. road which Colonel Roosevelt
will probably take in crossing the Andes
is that which follows the Uspallata
pass, through which the railway con-
Meeting the oceans now passes. Be-
fore the railroad was completed in 1911
this road furnished the chief means Of
communication between Chile and the
Argentine and both freight and passen-
ger traffic passed over 1t.
Through part of its course, notably
along the Aconcagua river, the road Is
fine and broad. Violent storms are COM
mon and small stone houses are scat
tered along the higher attitudes of the
road as refugees for travellers. Gov.
Ambrosio O'Higgins built the first OF
these refugees in 1871.
One Of the sights along the road near
Juncal is the Soldiers Leap, where ira
dition has 1t that a Chilean cavalrymen
in the war Of independence leaped his
horse across a chasm and thus escaped
the enemy, who did not care to follow
his example. A bridge now spans this
chasm.
Colonel Roosevelt probably will start
his automobile trip from Mendoza, ir
the Argentine. Mendoza Is reached by
rail from Buenos Ayres by the Buenot
Ayres and Pacific railway, which run,
on to Valparaiso. The Uspallata pas,
is 12,S70 feet above sea level. 1t is just
to the south Of Mt. Aconcasua. which

LONDON, Aug. 12-The British
government nettled by the comment
OF certain American newspapers con-
corning Great Britain's recognition OF
President Huerta, declares the com
ment is based on a misconception OF
the facts. 1t also repudiates the in
sinuation and inference that powerful
financial Institutions were useful in
bringing about the recognition. In a
statement issued the government says:
THE recognition of President Huer-
Ia was the recognition of a provision

minister to Mexico as being likely to

The commission is taking this step

FINE SADDLE WILL
BE PRIZE OFFERED
Winner of Ladies' Broncho Busting
Contest Will Receive Gift
from O.-W. II. & n.

Word was received yesterday by the
Roundup directors that the O.-W. r.
& n. Co., which has always been a
big booster for the local show, will
this year award a fine saddle to the
winner Of the ladies' broncho busting
contest The saddle will cost $3.50
and will be made by Hamley & Co.
OF this city
The arrangement whereby the rail-
road company presents this handsome
trophy were made through william
McMurray, general passenger agent
r. B. Miller general traffic agent and
]. L. Mile, travelling passenger agent
The ladies' bucking contest this
year will be one Of the stellar events
and the handsome saddle as well as
the cash prizes which will be hung
up will doubtless attract many entries
Though Tillie Baldwin. who won the
championship last year, announced
that she would not enter any more
bucking contests. it Is believed that
the chance to win prize saddle will
move her to reconsider her decision
Bertha Blancett, who has been Titles
closest competitor in number of
contests, will be here again with her
husband. Del Blancett, according to a
letter received yesterday and Blanche
McGaughey, Bertha Dukes and Hazel
Walker are all expected to compete
again.
Last year the Roundup put on two
events in the bucking contest for la
dies, one being for the championship
of the world and the other for the
championship of the northwest Tillie
Baldwin won in one and Hazel Walker
in the other. The separate events
were made because of the fact that
some of the "buckaroettes" rode with
hobbled stirrups while Mrs. Baldwin
and Mrs. Blanchet rode slick" This
year, however, any class of riding will
be permitted in the one event but the
judges will take into consideration the
manner in which the horses are rid
den.

CONVICT, MODEL 20
YEARS, SET FREE

SALEM, Ore, Aug. 12.-"Good
bye. boys: I'm going; good luck -
YOU" said Charles Slegle, for years
known by keepers and prisoners alike
as Gorgeous model convict" as he
left the mess hall and walked into
the office of superintendent Lawson,
of the state Penitentiary, free man.
Slegle had been confined in the
penitentiary for 90 years for killing
a man in Josephine county, and not
once in the entire time had he caused
the management the slightest trouble.
The man was given conditional
pardon by the governor, and super
intendent Lawson announced that he
had obtained employment for him.
But the superintendent would not say
where his late charge was going or
who would be his employer, explain
ing, ut will be better for him."
So long had Slegle been in the pris-
on no one about the institution knew
the details of the crime of which he
was convicted The convicts tell a
story that when he was 10 years of
age he became engaged to marry, but
his wages were small and he could not
raise the necessary amount in an hon
est way. They say he killed the man
for the purpose of robbery. But
whether he married the girl they do
not know. superintendent Lawson
does not know. for he has no record
of the case.
"All l know about it," said the SUI
perintendent, sis that Slegle has been
model prisoner and / am glad he
has a good home. He is about 40
years of age now, although bald, does
not look older than the ordinary men
of that age. He told me when he left
If we ever wanted him just to send
for him. He went from here to Port
land and from there will go to his
new home. He had been a trusty for
several years and was valuable man
about the institution"
