A STRICT SILENCE rs BEING
MAINTAINED BY THE PROSE
CUTION AND ACCUSED.
PRELIMINARY next FRIDAY
Single Charge of Murder of His Wife
Alma Hye is Brought Against De-
fendant by the State.

Little is revealed Of the particulars
Of the tragedy which took place at
Elk City last week and the officers
who investigated the affair are main
tanning strict silence about the case
and the inner facts of the shooting
will not in any probability be revealed
until the trial of Hye when he is called
to answer by the law.
The eororner's inquest was COM
pleted at Elk on Wednesday of last
week and no news of the matters
brought out at the hearing have been
revealed. The Hye home was guarded
from the time of the shooting until
the county officers arrived to take
matters in hand in conducting an in
vestigation. County Attorney Hatta
baugh returned from Elk City the lat
ter part of the week.
The conorer's jury brought in YER
u1ct That Ine deceased vIctlms came u
their deaths from gun shot wounds in
flicted by Frank Hye with homicidal
intent. A charge of murder was filed
against Hye last Saturday evening, he
being charged with the murder of his
wife, Alma Hye.
The county prosecutor has seen fit to
bring only charge of murder against
Hye on a single charge and has elected
to try the defendant on the one charge
Of numbering his wife instead of joint
offense. Therefore Hye will be tried
on the one charge and will have
another facing him at the conclusion of
the trial on the present charge.
Considerable interest has been arous-
ed in the case but the strictest silence
is being maintained by both the off
GERS who represent the state and those
who represent the accrsed. John
Eimers has been in at Elk City thu,
week and subponaed IL witnesses for
the state and for the defense to tes-
tify at the preliminary hearing which
has been set for next Friday the 10th
of October.
1t is reported that in all four shots
were fired by Hye of which three took
effect in the body of Hugh Kennedy,
and that Mrs. Hye was struck by only
one bullet. Hye has been visited in
the county Jail by his brother who ar
rived from Spokane last week. He
has declined to receive visits from any
one but his brother and his attorney,
w. N. Scales. His interests in connec-
tion with the stage line between Elk
City aid Sites are being attended by
Mr.. Pettibone who formerly owned the
line and sold il to Mr.. Hye.

TO THE VOTERS
OF IDAHO COUNTY

1t is important to remember that the
real, vital issue at the coming election
IN Idaho county, is whether the county
shall be divided
1t is proposed to divide the county
ana make three counties out of the
present Idaho county.
Under such plan, old Idaho county.
will have small portion of Camas
prairie and an immense portion of the
forest reserve and unsettled mountain
districts, thereby reducing it to such
extent, that it will be seriously i'm.
paired as an effective county organiza.
ton.
This is proposed and energetically
advocated by some portions of the
territory to be included in the pro.
posed new counties, regardless of its
unfairness; regardless of the fact that
it is not based on sound economic
principles; regardless of typographical
conditions, and regardless of the fact.
that it will not promote the better
ment of any section, but will be detri-
mental to all sections; except possibly
the immediate localities, where it is
proposed to establish county seats.
This is not question of politics. il
is simply an issue involving the wei
fare and prosperity of cur county.
1t is essential that we meet the issue
as citizens and not as members of any
political party.
The legislative ticket, are the only
ones affected.
The democratic nominees for the
state senate and state house of repre-.
sentatives, have been nominated by
those in favor of county division, and
all OF them are in favor of three coun-
ties; the republican nominees for the
Legislature, have been nominated bv
those opposed, and none of them are in
favor of making any new counties;
therefore the respective legislative
nominees represent the issue of County
Division and No County Division. as
being paramount; it is absolutely neces-
sary and mandatory, that all who are
opposed to dividing the county, vote
for the republican nominees for the
legislature, regardless Of politics;
whether they be democrats, republi-
cans, progressives, prohibitionists,
socialists, or whatever their political
faith; and we most earnestly urge that
you cast your votes and use every en-

q surprise to all members. He leaves

In speaking Sof the resignation of
Mr.. Wetsel and the preparations for
the coming show, President Flood wrote
as follows:
"While we regret very much the loss
of Mr.. Wetsel as secretary, we appre-
ciate the hard work he has done among
the members. By obtaining the services
of DIR. Carlyle we feel that the work
will go on with renewed energy and
that the association members should
congratulate themselves upon being
able to obtain the services OF Dr.
Carlyle.
"The duties and purposes OF the as
sociation have been a wonderful aid
to the stock raisers and pure-bred
breeders of the northwest, and we have
identified with us the builders Of the
northwest.
"We have called meeting Of the
executive board to be held in Lewiston
October II to meet with the commit
tee of business men and take up the
coming show.
"Our entries for the show and sale
are increasing every day and it Will

We, as loyal democrats, fully realize
that the issue of county division, is the
real issue, as far as the Legislative
ticket is concerned, and therefore fully
endorse the foregoing and urge every
voter, without party considerations to
vote for f. s. Sweet for Senator and
Henry Meyer and Abe Harchelrode for
representatives, as being the only
method by which county division can
be defeated at the polls.
