DEATH FROM STARVATION.

The citizens of King Hill have
been in the throes OF excitement over
the death OF Miss Clara Foy, for
nerly Superintendent of schools at
that place, which occurred on Sun
day evening after fast Of 40 days,
following the advice Of her physic-
ian, Il DR.. Smith, Of that place.
1t appears that Miss Foy had been
complaining Of some slight stomach
trouble and consulted DR.. Smith,
who together with his wife were
living at the same hotel as Miss Foy.
This was on December 2Oth, and it
Is alleged that at that time the ply
sician advised her to abstain from
food, which advice was adhered TO
from that time until the death of
the unfortunate girl.
During this time her friends were
not allowed to see her and it is sta
ted that the doctor had her COM
pletely under his control and was
slowly starving her to death. So
alarming did her condition become,
that her father, who resides at Me-
ridian. was sent for. and immedi-
ately upon his arrival a physician
was summoned from Boise, who up
on examining the patient pronoun-
ced it case of starvation pure and
simple. and gave her friends very
little hope, and death claimed the
patient the next day.
4 coroner's inquest following al
autopsy performed by DR.. McCalla,
Of Boise, resulted in the verdict o
death from starvation.
Following the result Of the coro
ner's inquest Il warrant charging
him with manslaughter was Serve'
on DR.. Smith, and he was taken t.
Mountainhome to answer to tn
charge. In the meantime the entir
town is in state of excitement owe
the lamentable affair, as the citizen
hold the doctor personally responSi
ble for the death of this estimahl
young lady, and even threats Of vic
lence have been INDUCED in, hI
u fortunately up to this time wis'
counsel has prevailed, awaiting Il
course of the law in the matter.

has directed the patenting to the
state of Idaho of the lands embraced

Statewide prohibition has made
its debut in the legislature, entering
in the form of bill by Bradley of
CANYON and Mason of Latah, intro
duced in the lower house. The bill
is a drastic one, prohibiting the
manufacturing, selling giving away,
or otherwise disposing of intoxicat-
ing liquors. 1t even prohibits the
circulation of advertisements 10y
outside liquor houses and brewerles
The authors claim, however, that /
does not prevent the individual con
sumption Of liquor.

The people are here and if tine state
Is gong to turn IA deaf ear to their
entreaties, it cannot hope to in

promoted to the Presidency Of the
same through the resignation Of for
mer president MacLean, suggests
that instead of the Legislature appro-

the same amount be approprl-
ated for the purchase of high grade

along this line has been prepared

An Organization for the Protection of Owners
Of Live Stock in case Of Death Of their
Animals from any Cause.

OF the amount of the indemnity
written.
There are two classes Of contracts
written; one for horses and one for
COWS, which are designated as Class
\ and Class b, and a member is
only liable for assessments for deaths
in the class in which he has con-
tracts written. In other words
member holding contract in Class
4 is not liable for losses in Class b
unless he also holds contract in
that class.
That the plan has met with the
approval Of some Of our most sue
cessful and substantial farmers, is
evinced by the following list Of con-
tract holders in Glass a whose APP
