A PET KANGAROO CAT
OWNED BY POLICEMAN

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. "a
Sergeant Fred Pearson of the Spo-
kane police department has a re-
markable kangaroo cat, and the cat
has a unique record of accomplish
ments not usually made by felines
A year ago this cat began its ca
reer OF notoriety by awakening Ser
geant Pearson in time to drive thrce
burglars away from his home. A
few weeks later the cat put out a
fire behind the kitchen stove by roll
ing in the flames while Mrs. Pear
son was in another room. Still an
other exploit was added to the cats
list of adventures when it woke
Pearson up at midnight and led him
to where a COW was doing dam
age to the garden. These are just
a few OF this animals strange ex-
periences. Sergeant Pearson says
his cat demonstrated its abnormal
powers along different line this
week when it qualified as a milk
Inspector. Arising early the other
morning, Sergeant Pearson discov-
cred the cat sitting beside the milk
crock left out all night for the
milkman. Sergeant Pearson called
tie cat to give it its breakfast OF
meat, but the cat would not bulge
from its position beside the crock.
Soon the milllman arrived and
poured out the supply for the Pear
son home, the cat all the time watch
ing him closely. The milkman re-
turned the cover to the crock and
left. For a number of minutes the
cat watched the crock and then
gradually crawled up to its wide.
With a paw the cat struck the
cover from the top of the crock
and made a dive with its head into
the depths of the milk. Pearson ran
up to interfere, and to his sur
prise saw the cat holding a small
in its mouth. On closer
the milk was seen to be
full of a number of small fish
about in the fluid
81 had often heard that the milk
man took their cans TO the brook
TO give them a drink, but this is the
first time l ever knew that the milk |
was so full of water that the fish |
thrived on it." said Pearson.

IMPORTANT LEGAL
HEARING CONTINUED
(From Sundays Daily


Arguments of counsel were heard
on the final report and final ac-
count and petition for final distribu-
ton OF c. p. Hicks, administrator
of the estate of Josiah l.. Mari,
deceased, and upon the objections
of Belle F. Mari, Administrative OF
the same estate in Cumberland coun-
ty, Maine. The arguments were
listened to yesterday afternoon in
the probate court by Judge Frank
o. Smith, Attorney Robert Z. Nor
rison, representing the Maine par
ties, and Attorney H. 7. Andrews,
the local administrator.
The further hearing OF the matter.
which involves one of the most in
tcresting law points ever offered for
argument. has been set for Friday,
February 18th.
Contention is made by the Maine
administrators that the local estate
OF $4,000 be forwarded to her for
distribution: that the local admin
istrator is but ancillary to the Cum
bcrland county appointment. The
administrator had already pctitioned
for distribution.

WASN'T SATISFIED WITH
LOOKS OF LICENSE
(From Sundays Daily.)

Indignant and Disguised, Mrs. H.
w. Haywood, a colored lady vino
recently entered the field OF matri-
mony for the second time, appeared
yesterday at the court clerks office
and opened negotiations for procur-
ing Il substitute license to the one
presented her and her finance on
Christmas eve. Mrs. Haywood was
loud in her criticism of Rev. Rick
man, who performed the ceremony.
Not only did he organize a monop-
oily upon the document by inscrib-
ing all the names OF the witnesses
and principals, but he went even 4
step further, making az unsatis-
factory job of it, so she declares.
Mrs. Haywood declared she
wasn't at all satisfied with the looks
of the license: that it couldn't sat
isfy for framing purposes; that she
simply must have another and
new one at that; and she was willing
10 pay twenty-five cents to reim-
burse Deputy Court Clerk A. l..
Jones for his trouble in the matter.
The courteous deputy clerk ex-
planned that the law permitted him
to issue certified copy of the Ii
cenSe for 81, whereupon the appli-
cant took a different line of tao
tics. A twenty-five cent charge was
not quite equivalent in proportions
to 81, although a precious manu-
script written in a mixture OF the
Palmer, Spencerian and Marcus
Ward methods was at stake.
Mrs. Haywood was formerly Mrs.
Hattie Collins.

If called upon to lend hand vii
say very quickly that they see tn
need and are i'll sympathy but d.
not propose to, and will not, really
exert themselves. If the good !;

are often ready to say: 1--WE kille,
the bar"
1t is so easy to cast in a dollar
for the famine sufferers of India
but when it comes to putting in on
money, effort and time to prevent
famine of souls and body among
those about us, we soon become
weary in well-doing. Why not dc
something to prevent mothers son:
from going to ruin instead of wait
ing and then spending so much
sentiment over mother when the
disgrace comes upon her?
Love does not bubble Many
would like to do good if everything
were helping in that direction. Like
going to church, many would like
to go if it did not require earlier
getting up, breaking into their rest.
In almost every forward moral
movement one hears the expression:
The time is not suspicious. The
time is never right for weakiings
to make battles with organized
wrong. 1t costs too much for any
to do it except for the love Of
right
And. my friends, it is the real
love that causes us to weep with
those who weep, and shed a sympa-
thizing tear with every Borrowing
human; it is this kind, and no other,
that will cause men and women 70

among robbers in order to help
them and lift them np-often
against their will Hark to these
really great words from the address
of President Wilson to the men
who had worn the blue and those
who had worn the gray. as they as
sembled at Gettysburg last summer.
This is the dawn of a new day.
The day OF our country's life has
but broadened into morning. Do
not put uniforms by Put the har-
ness of the present on. Lift your
eyes to the great tracts of life yet
to be conquered in the interest of
righteous peace OF that prosperity
which lies in a peoples hearts and
outlasts all wars and errors of men.
Come, let us be comrades and SOL
diers yet to serve our fellow man
in quiet counsel, where the blare
of trumpets is neither heard nor
needed and where the things are
done which make blessed the ma
tons of the world in peace and
and love.
This is the gospel OF every true
and earnest man. This, and this
alone, is the love of men and 81
country that will make it easier
to love right than wrong in this
fair land. Is any other worthy
the name OF love or patriotism:
1t is the difference between a
sponge and fountain that is be-

Who is my neighbor? Who is
likely to be all advantage to me?
Whose neighbor am l? Who needs |

c. Il. FISH AGAIN
IN THE LINELlGHT
GETS SHOT FIVE TIMES IN MIS-
UNDERSTANDING WITH POcA-
TELLO DRUGGIST.

c. H. Fish, Jr., eX-husbard, shows
again in the limelight after the annul-
ment Of his marriage in record time by
getting shot at Pocatello on Saturday
last. He is now in the hospital for re-
pairs. 1t is stated that the druggist
named W. II. Scott of that town shot
him, inflicting wounds in the shoulder
and arm. From neither Of the principles
in the encounter could the police get
a statement.
The PocateIlo Tribune gives addi-
tional particulars of the encounter. to
the effect that the two had had a dis
agreement at the North Main Street
pharmacy about some business matter.
Following the first encounter, so it is
said, Scott went behind the prescrip-
ton case and got an automatic gun
and asked Fish to leave. Fish made
a rush for the gun, and it was dis
charged six or seven times, some one
of the bullets striking Fish. as stated.
There were but two witnesses 20 the
affair. and only one of them managed
eventually to secure the gun. and Fish
went to the hospital. where he is get
ting along in good shape at the present
time The ball went through the back
part of the left arm and armpit, and
came out under the shoulder. The arm
is pulseless at this time.
Scott had a damaged ear from G
severe blow on the side Of the head,
and after washing off the blood went
with an officer to the police station.
where ne was released on his own re-
cognizance. It seems that the two
men had gotten into a wordy dispute
over n business affair, Fish being Q
commercial traveller, and the scrap
suited. No action has been filed. and
both men express considerable regret

OIL FOR STREETS AND ROADS.

One Of the most serious problems
which has confronted the Jerome
council the past year or two has been
the sprinkling of the streets. Oil versus
water has been discussed pro and con
the past six months, and about two
months ago the council deciSed TO send
Chairman Peters and Street Commis-
sioner Trail to Ontario, Ore. to in
vestigate the cost and practicability
of the use Of oil for street purposes.
Upon investigation at Ontario it was
found that oil had been proven sat
isfactory.
Jerome received 65 gallon car
load of oil. which is now being applied
to the principal streets. Neighboring
towns Of Twin Falls, Gooding, Sho-
shone and Richfield. as wen as a num-
Der Of highway districts. will await the
result of Jerome's experiment, and if
it proves to be economical and prac-
tical a number Of the other towns viii
adopt oil for street sprinkling purposes
and the highway districts will use it on
the better roads to reduce the cost Of

HANDS IN AMBITIONS OF WEN

GOODING, May 12.-In the fear that
arises 1T Gooding over the campaign
Wendell is making for the county seat
the factions in the first named town
may get together and make common
cause TO hold permanently what they
have temporarily. Not long ago the
location of a drinking fountain in
Gooding was the cause Of . feud that
included men, women and children.
There is a row on now over the dis
placement of the principal Of the high
school.
But the warning elements at Good
ing have heard a sixty thousand dollar
hotel at Wendell will be given for the
county scat building at Wendell. which
is something not to be lightly rejected
by the overbuvdened taxpayer in a
new county.
The Goodingites are expected to be
heard from with the assurance that
something a great deal snugger than
that other bugger offers in the way OF
a bonus will be provided in Gooding.
There are evidences not lacking that
the local warning factions are to get
together once more in the common
cause.

ONLY SURVIVOR Of
GEN. CUSTER BAND
CURLEY THE CROW, THEN A
SCOUT, is LECTURlNG IN THE
INTEREST OF HIS RED SKIN
BROTHERS.

Curley the Crow. or Ben Mcintosh,
is in Shoshone for the better part Of
he week he lectured here Wednes-
day night. Gooding Thursday night
and returns here for another lecture
Sunday afternoon.
He is an old man of more than
seventy and a half-breed Scotch IN
dian. erect as an arrow and sturdy as
an oak. His birth place and long time
residence is Billings, Montana. There
ne accumulated property and his ac
puaintances there with bankers and
large property owners such as Newt
Howells confirms the first impression
that Curley the Crow is a man Of af
fairs. That he is a historical character
is amply confirmed in the fact that he
was the scout with Custer at the time
his whole force was annihilated by
Sitting Bull. The scout escaped on
Clusters horse. His mission here is TO
create sentiment for the enfranchise-
ment of Indians and secure for them
equal rights everywhere. 1t is worth
while to see and hear such a character
and the opportunity viii be afforded
again next Sunday. It is said that Cur
ley was the sole human survivor Of the
disaster that overlook Custer. That
he was in the thickest Of the fight too
is attested that Curley's own horse
was the first to fall by the Indian bull
lets.

HOW JUDGES ARE TO
BE CHOSEN THIS YEAR.

Under the present law there can be
no party candidates for the bench
neither Republican, Democratic or any
other. Every aspirant for a seat on
the bench this year must be a nom
partisan.
Voters will find when they enter the
primary that they must call for the
ballot Of the party they propose TO
support; but on each ballot they will
find three columns. In the first viii
be the names of the congressional can
didates; and in the third viii be found
the names of the state and local can
diaates; and in the third will be found
the names Of all the candidates for
the bench without anything to indi-
cate to what party the candidates be-
long. This third column viii be
marked Non partisan" Each voter
will be expected to vote for two can
didates for each judicial position to
be filed. This is at the primary.
At the election the voter viii find
in the non-partisan column the names
Of the two candidates receiving the
highest number OF votes at the pri-
mary. and he will be expected to make
his choice of one of these for the po-
sition. On this ballot used on election
day there will be nothing to indicate
the politics of any candidate for the
bench-there win be no party desig-
nation; no party emblem Every can
didate for the bench is presumed TO
stand on his fitness for the position.
The intent of all this is, Of course,
to eliminate the courts wholly from
party politics.

They say of him that he is a straight
forward. lean-handed Republican and
withal n good business man whose SER
vices would be valuable to any public
office.
He became widely known throughout
Southern Idaho in the first place as a
salesman for agricultural implements,
was born of fine Southern parentage
and is in the prime of life at about 40
years of age. Mr.. Tage was a visitor
in Shoshone on Tuesday on business
with his chief. To the Journal he said
that while his friends had urged him
to become a candidate he had not
thought much about running for any
office.

QUESTION OF HOURS OF LABOR
AND WAGES THE CAU5E-NEW
MEN As STRIKE BREAKERS.

There was strike of the laborers at

evening at quitting time. The question
of wages and hours of work was the
trouble. Twenty five cents per hour
had been paid for ten hours work. The
men insisted on the same amount for
eight hours. There was final offer OF
80 cents per hour but the men quit and
others were hired the next morning at
the so cent rate The force numbers
from eight to ten.
Chairman McMahon said yesterday
morning that it was recognized that
eight hours constituted a days work
as to public undertakings in Idaho eX-
cept where an emergency exists, as is
the case with respect to the completion
of the fltering plant to protect the pub
lie health. Twenty-Five cents per hour
was deemed a fair wage for the SER
vices required and the extra hours are
nothing unusual in such cases

BY working as they allege the double
cross on Roy Jones in the matter of
the appointment of the United States

likely 10 lose in his Senatorial fight
not only in Lincoln county but in
two other counties that former
ly made up its territory,
where Jones is so well known
as a faithful and effective stalwart
Democrat It is noticeable that the EX-
Governor dosnt show himself with his
usual frequency in Jones bailiwicll,
having been absent from the Dem
ocratic meeting at Dietrich on Sat
urday night when Nugent and Alex
ander held forth in their campaign for
the Senate and Governor respectively.
Hawley was invited too. There were
about fifty persons present at the
meeting. Everybody agrees that
Hawley made a tremendous mistake
when he didn't stick to Jones, whose
friends are legion in this part Of the
State
While Jones himself is say
ing nothing to indicate that he is dis
gruntled what they are saying ought
to make the x-gubernatorial ears

ANDY OLESON LEFT LITTLE
CASH BUT LOTS OF FRIENDS

When Andy Oleson died two months
ago he was seized and possessed Of
one town lot in Shoshone, one watch,
one graphaphone and about fifty dol-
lars in money, besides the love and
respect of everybody who knew him as
the honest though humble man that
he was in the daily walks of life. It
was found that his effects were not
sufficient in value to meet as decent
burial tor his remains as his merits
deserved, and that is where a number
of the good women of the Study
Club. including Mrs. Fred GOoding,
Mrs. VIII Custer. Mrs Merrifield and
Mrs. J. r. Miller as the civic improve
ment committee of that body, and
Sheriff Zug. one Of the Cherrible
Brothers in all good works, set about
to secure needed funds TO meet the
requirements, for it was discovered
that honest Andy had not bought
much but a bunch Of rocks in his
town lot. and that all other belong
ings. except the actual cash, had only
nominal value. Zug said he knew a
way to raise the funds from the et-
fects. all right. no matter how little
they were worth, and so he expects to
get. if indeed he has not already got,
about three or four prices for that
town lot and the other things to aug
,nent what the ladies are raising.
And so Andy is to have a monument
to his grave where he will rest till
the resurrection morn peacefully IN
the thought that he owes not any man. |
