John K. Ir1uin

John R. Irwin, also a resident
OF Iowa, was appointed as the
successor of Governor Neil. Mr..
Irwin gave somewhat more at
tentlon to his appointment than
did some of the gentlemen who
had been similarly honored, as
he came to Idaho and actually
qualified. After so doing he
spent about 80 days travelling in
different parts of the territory
visiting Owyhee, Wood river and
other points but seemingly was
impressed after his tour either
with the fact that Idaho had no
use for him or that he had no
use for Idaho, for he immediate
lY took his departure and the
territory knew. him no more.
By reason of having qualified
Governor Irwin comes under the
act of the last legislature with
reference to the portraits of the
governors to be hung in the ex-
ecutlve Office of the new capitol
building although it is rather diff
ficult to realize why a man who
only stopped for such "a brief
time and practically attended to
none of the duties of the Office
should be so honored.
Our citizens who met Govern
or Irwin were generally we'll i'm
pressed with his personality and
in common with others who
made. his acquaintance, I rather
hoped that he would stay with
us. What the real inducements
for his departure were I never
heard. That he was honest in
his dealings was shown by the
fact that upon his leaving the
territory he had a leave Of ab-
sence but never presented a bill
for his salary. This is worthy Of
record in view of the inordinate
desire on the part of some Of the
territorial governors to take
everything they could lay their
hands on in the shape of either
salary or perquisites.

capitated Man.

dropped on the city from German aero
plane yesterday. One missile, exploding
in avenue Du Trocadere at the corner oi
Rue Freyoinet, blew the head from the
shoulders of a man who was standing on

little damage
Crowds, taking advantage of a beauti-
ful autumn day, were promenading on
the banks of the Seine when the aerial
warrior appeared almost directly over
the Eiffel tower. 1t is believed that the
first bomb was intended for the wireless
station on the tower or possibly for the
nearby buildings containing army stores,
1t landed in avenue Du Trocadero, not
far from the tower, with crash, and
the explosion was heard for many blocks.
The houses in the vicinity were badly
damaged The bomb found its mark dis
tant only block from the American en-
bassy at Due De Chaillot, where Am
bassador Myron T. Herrick, who did not
accompany the government to Bordeaux,
still makes his home.
In the wake of the bomb futtered
German flag. At the sound of the explo-
sion, the promenaders first rushed for
shelter, and then as the airship moved
on, they hurried to the scene of the
havoc. A Gordon Of police was quickly
thrown about the debris and the mangled
body Of the man killed was found and
removed. Near by the body of the girl
was discovered Her lower limbs had
been shattered. Women in the crowd
wept audibly as the child was borne to
a hospital.
Among the houses damaged was the

| Arthur Smith Of this city, conductor
employed by the Barre & Montpelier

death this forenoon when Ford touring
car which lie was driving turned turtle
on the trolley tracks at Intercity park.
Smith was pinned under the machine but
was soon released His father, William
Smith, who accompanied the young man,
was uninjured. The victim OF the acci-

The accident occurred as Smith ana
his father were turning out of the Ben
jamln road into the main highway.
Where the traction line cuts across the
branch road a sharp incline forms the
crossing approach. According to the ell
der Smith the machine was we'll onto
the tracks when the driver turned the
wheel apparently too far to one side.
Realizing his mistake he evidently gave
the wheel quick turn to the opposite
side. The car slowed and turned COM
pletely over. The drivers father remem-

with one foot under the automobile.
