BADLY HURT BY AUTO
Father Of A. r. 'Ostrander Injured at
Colorado Springs, Colorado.


The following clipping was taken
from the Stuart, Iowa, Herald, giving
an account of the injury sustained by
Mayor Ostrander of that city. Mr.. Os-
trander is the father of A. R. Ostrand-
er and he and his party were on their
way to this city when the accident
caused them to return to their Iowa
home:
Mayor Ostrander, accompanied by
his son Chase and wife and daughter,
Mrs. Van Hemert, came in from Colo
RADIO Springs Monday night, where he
had gone for visit to his son, sick
end suffering from Injuries received
in an accident which occurred Sun

Hemert, and daughter-in-law, Mrs
Chase Cstrander, he was on his way
to the station to take the train for

for few dsys preceding. VIXEN the
cab in which they were riding was
run into by an auto and dragged quite

O'NH|l TO SERVE TERM
Supreme Court Confirms His Con.
yictiOn.

b. f. O'Neil, president of the State
Bank OF Commerce of Wallace, Ida,
Will spend term of from 2 to 10
years in the penitentiary in this city
as result of decision rendered by
the state supreme court on Wednes-
day
ONeil was found guilty by a jury in
the Eighth judicial district, Judge K.
N. Dunn presiding, of the crime OF
making a false report to the state
bank commissioner as to the condi-
tion of his bank. AS the result of that
conviction he was sentenced by judge
Dunn to the state penitentiary for n
term of not less than two years and
not exceeding 10 years.
A motion for a new trial was de-
MED, and then the appeal was taken
to the supreme court. This appeal
was exhaustively argued before the
supreme court at its session in Occur
d'Alene, and that tribunal took plenty
OF time to examine everything bearing
on the case before making it's final
decision.
The opinion handed down on We'd
nesday, written by Justice Sullivan
and fully concurred in by Chief Jus
tice Ailshie and Justice Stewart, goes
fully into the record of the case and
disposes of every claim for a new trial
on the ground of error. Many cases
are cited to bear out the conclusions
reached by the supreme court.
Because of the prominence of O'Neil
in banking, political and business cir
cles, and because of the wide publicity
given to the facts connected with his
indictment, his arrest, his going to
British Columbia, his extradition, his
trial and his efforts for new trials and
appeals, the main facts of the case
long since became public property

tSCAp Is DEATH BY MIRACLE.
Rupert Man Meets With Near Fatal
Accident.

dent at the pump house under the wa
ter tower last Thursday evening, that
might easily have caused his death
He was working beside the wall of the
house when one of the men above near
the bottom of the tank dropped a
pinch bar, Weighing close TO ten
pounds. This bar struck the wall of
the pump house and turned, striking
Mr. Jackson on the head. The force of
the blow was sufficient to break the
outer wall of the skull for about two
inches and laid the scalp open for
about three inches. Mr.. Jackson was
unconscious for moment, but soon
came to. He was taken to Dr. Scotts
office where the wound was dressed
and is now getting along fine.

FARM BELONGING TO WIGLES.
WORTH ESTATE Is CHOSEN.
Don Bark Agrees to Take East Half
Of the Forty for Government Use
Will be "Duty Of Water" Station.

After making a series of careful
soil tests to depth OF six feet, over
it's whole area, Don H. Bark, engineer
in charge of irrigation Investigations
in Idaho, has chosen the east half OF
the fOrty-acre farm belonging to the
estate of John Wiglesworth, as site
for the experiment station, which the
federal government is going to es-
tablish here in cooperation with the
county, the Canal Co., and the Com
mercial club. The farm is located
just one mile east Of the city limits
on the Kimberly road, between the
cemetery and the Roberts-Daly or
chard.
For the use of the government, 1t
was necessary that the land be free
from rocks, and the soil tests revealed
a uniform depth of six feet of soil over
the whole twenty acres. AS regards
physical features, the land lays es-
pecialIy we'll, as it is practically level,
sloping gently to the west, and its
location on a main road and adjacent
to a main lateral makes it especially
we'll suited for an experiment farm.
Before leaving for his home in
Boise Tuesday night, Mr.. Bark stated
that he would begin work immediate
ly, getting the land into shape, laying
it out into plots and sub-plots and
preparing for full season next year.
In several respects, the Twin Falls
station will differ from any of the
experimental farms within or without
the state. Whereas the stations at
Gooding and Aberdeen are maintained
by both the state and national govern
ments, this one will be under the con-
troll of the federal authorities alone,
and will have no connection with the
state department of agriculture, or
with the agricultural department OF
the University at Moscow.
Also the Twin Falls station will be
devoted entirely to the study of the
duty of water in irrigation. Satisfac-
fled with minor experiments made at
the Gooding and other stations, that
the greatest field of usefulness of
such a station in an irrigated country,
lies in the study of the right times of
irrigating certain crops, and the needs
of each kind, Mr.. Bark will now have
an opportunity to try his theories out
on a larger scale, and his work will
give the farmers of the tract good
opportunity to watch the results OF
the time of irrigation experiments.

Drawn, quartered, boiled in oil and
otherwise subjected to torture is the
delightful experience of some of the
eighty-seven men who manufactured
the laws of the state last winter. Po-
liticians, ordinary men and the legis-

large measure many of the things that
happened during the session, but 1t re-
mains for the club women to show that
"a woman never forgets."
In the September number of the
Idaho Club Woman, which is the Off
cial magazine of the three thousand
organized club women of the state,
there is published the report of the
Legislative committee of the Third

When Miller Leaves the Stage There
is no One to Follow.

appearance on the public platform
next Tuesday night, under The aus
pices of Alexandria-Lodge of Elks ha:
no successor on the stage and when he
rctires the last great delineator OF
that negro character will be gone
Only years of study, under conditions
which never will occur again, gave
Mr.. Miller his wonderful knowledge
of the characters he impersonates and
with this is coupled great natural
ability. Senator "Bob" Taylor, who
was a great favorite in Alexandria,
declared that Miller far excelled him
in story telling and Senator Taylor
frankly adopted many of Miller's
yarns.
There will be no reserved seats sold
for next Tuesdays performance but
only 400 tickets will be sold which is
the capacity of he Elks Auditorium.
While the entertainment is given un-
der the auspices of Alexandria Lodge
Of Elks it is not undertaken as a
money making proposition but is given
with the idea Of securing for the
members of the lodge and the people
of Alexandria an opportunity to see
Mr.. Miller for the last time. Tickets
may be secured at Warfeld's drug
store.
Mr.. Miller is accompanied by Col.
Tom Barker and his celebrated negro

HIDES IN BUSHES.
Negro Avoided Surgical Aid, Know.
ing of Warrant for Arrest.

Richmond, Jan. 23.-Kn;owing a war
rant charging him with grand larceny
had been sworn out for his arrest,
Cornelius Cook, negro youth atempt-
ed to leave the city Monday night
aboard a freight train. He lost his
balance while boarding one in the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railway yards,
Fulton, fell upon the rails and his
right arm was cut off at the shoulder.
The crew of passing train about
day break Tuesday morning saw his
prostrate form and upon reaching the
station reported a man dead along
side the tracks. Dr.. J. Fulmer Bright,
coroner of Henrico county, was notified
but when he went to the designated
point the "dead man" had vanished.
A searching party was organized and
several hours later Cook was found
lying unconscious in clump of bushes
II wals at first thought he was dead
but he rallied to emergency treatment
and was removed to the City Hospital
by DR.. H. T. Hawkins, ambulance
surgeon.
After the accident Cook did not
seek medical or surgical attention for
fear of Arrest and that was the reason.
he explained to DR.. Bright, why he
crawled to the bushes to hide. While
his condition is serious, having not
only been manned, but exposed to
the heavy rains Monday night, it was
thought last night he would recover.
