SAYS SHOOTING STORY A LIE
Section Foreman Denies Shooting u
Wife and Young Son At Copeland

Con Sullivan, section foreman at
Copeland on the Kootena Valley
branch of the Great Northern rail-
way vigorously denies the truth
of the story published under the
head of Copeland Correspon-
dence" in the Herald last week in
which it was claimed he shot at his
wife and boy while in an intoxi-
Gated condition. In letter to the
Herald, Mr.. Sullivan says:
Will you kindly contradict the
attached story as it is lie from
Copeland. l have lived in this
section for the past 20 years and
have never had any trouble with
my wife or children and another
thing / am not of an unsteady aim.
Some one has taken advantage of q
cheap way TO do me harm and if
1t is a woman she can't be lady
and if it is a man he must be a
liar from his youth.
The Herald understands from
neighbors of Mr.. Sullivan that the
article referred to by him is far
fetched and that while there were
some shots fired, no attempt was
made upon the life of Mr.. Sulli-
vans wife or boy as they were
away from the house at the time.
AT the same time the Herald does
not believe the Copeland CORE
spondent had any desire to misrep-
resent the facts and believes that
the correspondent must have been
given the story by one with malic-
ious intent. On behalf of itself
and its correspondent, the Herald
gladly brands the article as false
hood as it is not the policy of the
paper to purposely defame any
mans character or good name.

LANYARD MAY BRING SUIT

With Lantern

James Lanyard, a resident OF
Naples, engaged in an alteration
with Harry Clarke, a brakeman on
the Spokane International passen-
ger train No. /, last Friday even
ing, and was severely cut by being
struck with q lantern carried by
Clarke. The trouble occurred on
the train soon after it left this
place. Lanyard went on to Sand
point where he had his wounds
dressed and next morning swore
out complaint against Clarke.
The latest report is that Lanyard
has started suit against the S. 1.
Railway company for damages and
that the complaint against the
brakeman has been dropped.
Trainmen of the Spokane Inter
national road claim that Clarke has
never been in trouble before and
that his attack upon Lanyard was
justified. Lanyard, on the other
hand, claims that he was sick on
the train and that he had some
words with the brakeman, where
upon he was struck across the face
with the lantern so hard as to
force his head through one of the
window panes of the car. Ian
yard claims that he was sitting in
seat when struck and that the
blow was wholly unexpected, He
sustained bad cut on each cheek,
bad cut under the left eye and
the right nostril was split.

ions regarding the division of the
county. 1t is practically assured,
judging from these interviews,
that there will be no active opPosi-
ton to the Valley county bill. In
fact, a number of Standpoint peo-
pie have given their word to sup
port the measure when an oppor-
tunity presented itself and others
have voiced the opinion that if the
county is eyer to be divided now
is the time to work for it. Last
week word was received in this

lutions against the dividing of Bon

TAYLOR MAY BE EDITOR AGAIN
Grangeyille Globe Says He Has Pur-
chased Caldwell, Ida, Newspaper

S. D. Taylor, retiring state aud
itor, who has filled that Office with
success for the past two terms, has,
it is said, purchased the Tribune,
the republican paper at Caldwell,
Canyon county, and after turning
over the Office portfolio at Boise
will assume personal super
vision of the editorial columns
of that paper. The Globe is
more than pleased to welcome
Bro. Taylor back into the ed
itorial fold and has no hesitancy in
saying that if he makes as great a
success with the Tribune as he has
with the auditors office, that
paper will cut considerable of a
swath in the political and indus
trial development of the state.
Taylor was for a number of years

tor, -GFangeyille Globe.

LAW TAXES ASSESSORS FORCE
Many Sent in But Hail The Ansun3 q
Taxes Due

Deputy Assessor w. w. Won
Canon was unable last week to get
the work of counting up the taxes
sent in and the clerical work
accompanying this task done in
time to turn the books of the
assessors Office over to himself
Monday morning.
The new state law permitting
half of the taxes to be paid in
December and half in June has
added q great amount of work to
the collection of taxes. Assessor
Defenbach forstalled the situation
he saw coming as much as possible
and his printed form for tar
receipts helped. However, many
taxpayers instead of sending in
money for one-half their taxes
as indicated upon the statement
sent out, divided the half by half
and thus sent in one-quarter of
their taxes. These mistakes must
all be rectifed before the assessor
Office will be ready to close up its
books for the old term and enter
upon the new years business.

DIVISION BILL
NOW AT BOISE
Vas Prepared By Commercial Club
Committss. VIII Be Presented
By Representative Elliott
LITTLE STANDPOINT OPPOSITION
Slisht Trouble Anticipated in Securing
New Valley County

This week the Bonner county d.
vision bill which was prepared by
Charles O'callaghan, 7. J. Jones
and w. P. Mahoney, who compose
che committee appointed by the
Kootenai Valley Commercial club
for this purpose, was forwarded 10
Representative +. +. Elliott at
Boise who will introduce it before
the legislature.
Yesterday A. J. Kent received
word from Representative Elliott
to the effect that the bill for the
proposed new county had arrived
and that it would be presented in
the near future as the interest OF
the legislature is now centered
upon the senatorial fight. Mr..
Elliott wrote that another county
division bill was before the house
and that it called for the creation
OF Valley county from a part
of Boise county. Representative
Elliott seemed to think that II
would be an easy matter for one
of the proposed new counties to Sc
lect a new name.
The bill describes the boundar
les OF the proposed Valley county
and old Bonner county. The
northerIy boundary line of Bon
ner county and the southerly line
OF Valley county is described as be
ginning at point where the town
ship line between townships Oh

Boise meridian TO the west line o
the state of Montana. The east
west aud north boundaries of the
new county will remain the sam,
as for that portion of Bonner
couaty.
The bill provides that the county
officers shall be appointed by the
governor of the state as soon as the
bill is passed aud becomes effective
The county seat of the proposed
new county is designated as Bon
ners Ferry.
The matter of ascertaining the
value of the property belonging tC

PROPOSE NEW
MARRIAGE LAW
New Bill Governing Matrimony Pro-
posed By Idaho mothers' Circle
to Be Presented Soon
PREVENTS HASTY MARRIAGES
Win Make MaHimony More Difficult in
the Future

Cupid, who TOR years has been
implicated In Opponents and secret
marriages, as we'll as the other and
less romantic elimination of love
affairs, public weddings, will have
to put away the former and deal in
only the latter if law hacked by
Idaho Mothers circle passes at
this session of the legislature, says
the Boise Statesman. Not only
does the proposed law do away
with hasty marriages-15 days
must eiaPse after the license is APP
piled for before 1t can be seeured~-
but it provides that during this Is
days the names of the persons de-
string to be mated must be pub-
lished in the papers at least twice.
The proposed law has been
drawn up by c. r, Kpelseh, q
member of the legislature, and will
be presented in the near future.
In November, after reading a
newspaper article which said that
the State Mothers club was in
favor of a law regulating mar
riage, Judge Koelsch wrote letter
to Mrs. +. p. Nichols, state Presi-
dent OF the Mothers circle, in
which he declared himself heartily
in favor of such a move. Upon
receipt of his letter the club re-
quested him to draw up such a bill
and present it. This the Judge
agreed to do,
The new law is divided into four
principal parts, all tending to make
marriage more difficult than at
present. By this it is hoped the
divorce evil may be minimized. No
common law wedding will be per-
mitted, as all marriages must be
solemnised and license secured,
Under the present law contract or
common law marriages are legal.
The second clause provides that IS
days must elapse between the time
of application and granting of IL
cense and the application be pub
lished in the newspapers, This
aims to prevent hasty marriages
and elopements.
The third clause In the bill Is the
most radical of all and is the only
one to which opposition is ex-
pected. This is the physical ex-
animation idea, recently suggested
all over the country, but which
has not yet been adopted except in
Washington. In that state appli-
cants for a marriage license must
make affidavit saying they believe
themselves free from disease or I'M
becility. Judge Koelsch's bill
makes it necessary to have a ply
sician's certificate showing that
the applicant has been examined
within 80 days of the time of mar
riage.
Another clause changes the age
limit. At present a boy of 10
years can secure license without
his parents consent. This will be
changed to 21, as it is in most
states. Young persons under the
age limit will be permitted to
marry when their parents consent,
but this consent must be approved
by the probate judge.
The proposed abolition of the
common law marriage is consid-
cred an especially good feature OF
the bill, as Idaho is one of the few
states where common law marriage
is recognized by statute, although
it is legal in most of them. The
common law marriage has resulted
in many legal tangles, especially
regarding distribution of estates.
