CRIMINAL LIBEL
CHARGE is MADE
AGAINST TREC0
Blackfoot Editor, Once Con
victed on a Statutory
Charge, in Trouble Again
as Result of Old Case.

Byrd Trego. editor and publisher OF
the Blackfoot Republican, whose con-
viction upon a statutory charge al
legged to have been committed against
g. girl taken by him and his wife to
raise from the children's home in this
city was set aside by the supreme
court and the case sent back to the
district court for further disposal, has
been arrested on charge of criminal
libel growing out OF the same case.
Following reversal of his case in
which the girl was the complaining
witness, Trego has published a series of
articles entitled 1.-THE Conspiracy of the
Twenty Three IN which he has re-
viewed the evidence against him and
sharply criticized his enemies. One OF
the witnesses in the former criminal
charge was Miss Alice Beach, county
superintendent of schools of Bingham
county. She has filed the charge OF
criminal libel against Trego alleging
that one of his articles tends to i'm
peach her honesty, integrity, virtue and
reputation. The portion of the article
complained about is as follows:
''If Miss Meach's testimony was true
when she said he was with Nellie In
the middle of the night. If she was
pure. true woman. why did she not
move away from that home at once?
Why did she not report to the home
ffndinp rtat
that home? She was their representa-
tive In Blackfoot. She was not true to
herself nor to the orphan under her
care. She remained silent for over a
year and half. part of the time un-
der that same roof by choice, and fire.
quently meeting Superintendent Chris
tian or others from the home finding
society at that home II that had, been
true and she were a pure woman she
would have taken prompt action the
first day after she was aware OF con-
ditions, or IL she were not true wom-
an with only pure desires, what was
she waiting at that door for so long
in the middle Of the night, waiting for
a man to come out? The people of
this county do no care which explana-
tion Miss Beach offers; either one con-
demns her, unless she gives up and
says she was simply making 1t up for
the purpose Of running a man who de-
clined to help elect her, and in that
case her spite is beyond comprehen-
sion. 1t would be more acceptable and
more human and more honorable for
her to admit that the hour she stood
watching that door was an hour of
weakness and temptation to her and
that n = disappointment had solred
her disposition"

Instrument Of Civilization.

ment of aggression. The new things in
the world are the things divorced from

the things by which we have been

ONE OF COOLEST
JUNE DAYS EVER
RECORDED HERE
Frost Is Reported at Mum
ber of Points in Southern
Idaho but Little Damage
Is Done.

Yesterday was one of the coldest
June days ever experienced in this sec
ton. Only once since the local office
of the weather bureau was opened in
1898. has the average temperature for
a June day been lower. This was on
June 2, 1908, when the average for the
day was AZ degrees. Yesterday the
average was 4s degrees, which Is 1e
degrees below normal "A singular fea-
ture was that the highest temperature
In the "a hours, 81 degrees. occurred
at midnight of the third and fourth.
BY a. M the temperature had fallen
to AZ degrees During the early fore
noon hours 1t rose to SO, but by IL
o'clock 1t had fallen to AZ degrees, and
by 3 o'clock in the afternoon 1t had
reached its lowest point, 80 degrees. 1t
rose slightly toward evening and then
fell slowly, reaching 80 degrees again
just at midnight, and reaching a mini
mum of 81 degrees near the ground
this morning. Some frost was OBJ
served in town. and in places out of
town heavy white frost formed. How
ever. owing to heavy cloudiness that
prevailed during the morning hours. 1t
Is believed no damage occurred. The
temperature today is rising very slowly,
and heavy frost is indicated for tonight,
should the sky be clear
The lowest temperature on record for
June at this place was 80 degrees Just
13 years ago today. This is from the
government thermometers. which at
that time were located on the roof OF
the Soma building. 1t is probable that
the temperatures near the ground were
lower than that. However. on that day
the temperature rose to 66 during the
day, 30 that the average was higher
than that for yesterday.
Low temperature is quite general
over the northwest, killing frost having
occurred at Baker, Ore Snow fell in
many of the mountain areas and was
still falling this morning at winni-
mucca, New.

.GOV. STUART
. ORDERS ELECTION
Signs Order to Vote on
Liquor Question After
Getting Petition.
BUT A SLIGHT DELAY
Technically Causes Executive to
Consider Matter Closely Before Ap-
: pending His Signature.

Richmond, July 15.-Fivc hours of
ter be had received forms, james NJ.
Hayes, Jr., acting Secretary of the
Commonwealth, a certificate showing
that G9,936 names of citizens repre-
sented by the clerks of the Circuits
Courts of counties and Corporation
Courts of cities to be legally qualified
voters, are signed to the petition
asking for an election on the ques-
tion of Statewide prohibition, Gov
ernor Henry C. Stuart issued the or
der for the election, which will be
held on September 22.
There was jubilation in the camps
of the "drys" throughout the State
when the news of Governor Stuart's
action was telegraphed from Rich
mond to the anti-saloon leaders in
the different cities and counties. The
opponents of Statewide prohibition
in Richmond viewed this latest de-
velopment philosophically.
While some of the "wets" expressed
their conviction that an inspection of
the names signed to the petition will
show that some thousands of the
signers are not qualified voters, all
admitted their belief that the num-
Der of qualified voters on the list is
too great to warrant challenging the
petition. They ascribed the alleged
invalid signatures on the petitions to
carelessness and inadvertence on the
part Of Anti-Saloon League repre-
sentatives who circulated the peti-
tion in different parts of the State.
1t is understood that this phase will
be investigated, the lists Of names
being accessible to the "wet" cam
paigners, having been entered on the
records Of the different courts with
whose clerks the petition was filed
for certifcation.
Belated petitions were received at
the office of the Secretary of the
Commonwealth yesterday morning
from Norfolk, Staunton, Elizabeth
City County, Halifax and Ports
mouth. These brought the grand to-
tai or signers to 1857.
