After a short argument, Martin pulled
a gun from his pocket and began shoot
ing at the three men. Two shots were
lodged by Justice Thompson. both
burning his cheek, but neither inflicting
any damage. One bullet nearly hit
Benjamin, who was endeayoring to
shield his brother from the bullets OF
the would-be ASSASSIN.
Robert Thompson hurled himself
upon the assa ssin, bore him to the
floor and disarmed him, but in the
struggle Martin managed to fire two
shots, one going through the sleeve of
the man who had pinned him to the
floor and setting his clothing on fire.
After taking the gun from him, Rob
ert allowed Martin to get to his feet
and the latter ran through back door

Legislation
By Caucus

We are hearing much lately of
government by caucus and of
legislation by caucus. 1t is al
ways the cry of the minority
The Republican party regarded
1t calmly when that partywas
III power. and now decries it as
TYRANNY when the Democrats
practice it. So in their turn, the
Democrats now praise it, while
formerly they were in hot REBEL
ion against it. The trouble they
all find is that it is effective in
carrying out the policies OF the
majority, and of keeping insur-
gents in line, 1t is a powerful
factor as seen in the easy way
the state tariff bill slipped
through.
1t has been said that the eau
Gus gogs all discussion of a public
problem or measure, but ultima
lety discussion III Congress does
not amount to much, in modern
times; PERSONAL interest and par
tisanship are the controlling
factors.

Coal and Ignite
in Cassia County

The Herald is in receipt of adv
ance pages of a bulletin TO the
Geological Survey which deal
with the coal and Ignite deposits
of Cassia County.
The article says that there are
about 1856 square miles of Ignite
fields in this County.
The government experts did
not make any eXtented SURVEYS.
but examined the Worthing ton
niue IN Beaver Dam basin, and
the Trapper Creek prospects.
They report the Ignite of inferior
quality, very dirty and impure
with a high percentage of water
and earthly matter.
The Ignite of Coal Gulch is of a
better grade, but it is too damp
and wet at present to Judge of
rs real value as a commercial
product

French Intends
Extradition
Treaties
SHALL COVER WHITE
SLAVE GRIMES.

Washington, d, c.. Sept. 30
The attention of Representative
Burton l.. French has been called
to the pitable case of little
girl Of thirteen years who has
apparently been made a victim
OF the white slave practice and
In which the party or parties re-
sponsible for the crime have
taken the unfortunate girl into
Canada.
The act itself is apparently
clearly within the provisions of
the white slave law and were
the parties responsible for the
crime within the United States
they would be amenable to the
law, assuming that the facts are
as alleged.
The crime itself is extraditable
as an ofense against the laws of
the State but if the offense were
also extraditable under the
Mann Act, the Federal Govern
ment would have an additional
interest in the prosecution.
Mr.. French has taken up the
matter with the State Depart
ment and the Department is
making inquiries through its re-
presentatives in foreign countries
to determine the extent of the
violation of the law, but as the
laws Oh this subject are of such
recent enactment, the extradit
ION treaties do not recognize
crime comitted under them and
tor extraditiOn the officers of the
several states must RELY upon
violation of State laws.
Mr. French believes that the
scope OF the extradition trea ties
should be broade,,ed and has in
troduced I'd "A resolution direct ing
the Secretary of State to under
take negotiations at once with
all foreign countries looking to
the making of this crime extrad-
itable and it is believed that our
own Government as we'll as
foreign countries cannot fail TO
recognize the wisdom OF this
course when their attention has
been called to it.

The Cattle
Situation

The cattle situation has be-
come SO acute and is attracting
such general attention that every
well-informed man in the live
stock business is anxious to have
the facts at hand. Apart from
the ample circumstantial evid-
ence that beef cattle is scarce, we
have the farm animal census OF
the United States Agricultural
Department as of January /,
1918.
Usually figures given include
dairy cattle. The figures quoted
below are for beef cattle only.
For the instruction of our
readers we have prepared also a
table giving the number OF beef
cattle each year from 1906 to
1913, inclusive. To those figures
we have added the population of
continental United States for the
same years.

Spread of Disease
by the Cigar
Cutter

The state board of health has
issued the following statement
relative to the spread of disease
through the medium of the cigar
cutter:
The attention of the bureau
has been invited to the danger of
the spread of the disease through
the automatic cigar cutter which
one finds so commonly on the
counters of cigar stores, drug
stores and other places where
cigars are sold. 1t is habit
among many cigar smokers on
purchasing a cigar to place it
between their lips while paying
tor the purchase, the smoker
then putting the moist end of
the cigar in the cutter. This
would seem to be very effective
method of bringing about the in
terchange of mouth secretions.
and possible the spread OF infect
ION. 1t is suggested the use of
such automatic cigar clippers
should be avoided by the public
because of the possibility that
disease may be spread bv them
by reason of the nature and
manner of their use.-Public
