0BERTS SAYS he
SHOT A MAN
Gave Undersheriff Mcdonald
a Merry Chase
Searching Parties Unable to
Find Dead Man. Story
Not Believed.

Quite a little excitement was
caused in the city last Sunday
afternoon when Frank Oberts
returned from a hunting trip ir
the vicinity of Cornucopia and
reported that he had seen a man
shot in the woods near that place
Upon hearing the story Under
sheriff John A. Mcdonald i'm
mediately found young Oberts
and after questioning him decid'
ed to try and locate the body. I
H. Robinson's car was engaged
and Mr.. Mcdonald, T. H. Robin
son and young Oberts made the
trip TO Cornucopia. Arriving al
Cornucopia young Oberts admit
ted to Undersheriff Mcdonald
that he had shot the man but
said that he had shot in self de-
fense. According to the story
young Oberts was standing on a
stump waiting for deer to pass
| when hunter fired three shots
at him. He said that the three
shots hit the stump that he was
standing on and that in return
he fired two shots at the hunter,
the last shot finding it's mark,
and the man dropped off the
stump. Oberts then told the
Undersheriff that he went over
to where the man lay and discov-
cred that he had been shot
through the breast and was dead.
lOberts then said that he dragged
the man to the top of the hill
where he left him.
| Upon hearing this Mcdonald
engaged a team and three OF
four men and the trip was made
through the woods to where
lOberts said the shooting was
done. Being unable to find any
trace of the dead man in the
dark the party returned to Cor
nucopia where they spent the
night and the search was taken
up the following day.
Oberts took the party to the
stump from which he had fired
the two shots and here was found
two empty cartridges of the
same calibre as was used by
Oberts. Oberts then pointed
out the stump upon which the
man he had shot at was standing
and upon arriving there the
party failed to discover any trace
| tof blood or of the man. The
lsearch was continued through
out the day but no dead man
could be located.
During the time Oberts was
out with the searching party he
kept continually changing his
story, first he would say it was .
young man that he had killed
and then he would say it was ar
old man, then he would deny
having shot at the man at all.
During the day the officers be.
gan thinking that young Oberts
had been ''stringing" them anc
| Sunday evening the party re-
turned to this city. Since then
lOberts has been confined in the
county Jail where he is being
Igivea time to think over his
lstorias and see if he cannot come
| to some definite conclusion as t,
the shooting. In the meantime
the Sheriff. and Undersherifl
have been endeavoring to learr
lif any hunter or settler is miss
ling but so far no one has beer
reported as missing and the
sheriff force is beginning to think
that Oberts is either telling &
"whopper" of a story or that he
is trying to cover up a crime.

crook who is now Democratic candi-
date by virtue Of corrupt election
board Our present primary system
is hedged with the most safeguards
ever thrown about primary election.
Every step Of the procedure from
the time the counters finish counting
the ballots to the time they are com
piled by the state election board is
open to inspection. A copy must be
posted outside each precinct and a
copy sent to the county clerk. and a
copy retained by each member of the
board. 1t is absolutely impossible for
the state board or the county board to
count anybody out or anybody in.
The only fraud committed during
the primary election just ended was
that instigated by the old Republican
gang who sought to weaken the Dem
ocratic party by having Republicans
and Socialists take part in the Dem
ocratic primary for the purpose of
voting for a candidate Who they con-
sidered. II nominated, would weaken
the Democratic ticket. 1t is hardly the
part of consistency for this old gang
to be holding up their hands in horror
Of election frauds when the only fraud
committed was that instigated by
themselves.
This gang has long record behind
them and people we'll remember the
time when our election laws we're not
hedged w SO many safeguards, and
when the Republican state election
board arbitrarily counted Bill Cross
out for congress and Bird Mcclure in.
They well remember the time when
Bill Cross received 5000 more votes
than Bird Mcclure. Bill Cross was
the nominee of the Democratic party
and the free silver party and his name
was on the ballot twice Many voters
in casting their ballots voted for Bill
Cross on the Democratic ticket and
also on the free silver ticket Word
was passed down the Republican line
to declare all of tl,ese ballots mutilat-
ed when, In fact. the voter had shown
his intention not only in one place but
in two places. of exercising his choice
in behalf of Bill Cross and against Bird
Mcclure. This is the gang that is
new clamoring for purity of elections.
This is the gang who is now encourag
ing every disgruntled Democrat and
bearing the expense of all the efforts
being made to SOW the seeds of dis
cord in Democratic ranks.-Chandler

This old gang has developed a won

WHAT AFTER THE WAR?

Irving Fisher, a professor Of politi-
cal economy in Yale university writes
as follows
Sooner or later the great war will
be followed by peace But what sort
of peace? VIII 1t be stable or unsta-
bIeg win the treaties of peace in
clude conditions the fulfillment OF
which Will guarantee Europe against
the recurrence of such struggle, or
win the new peace amount to nothing
more than another long armed truce.
during which the warning nations will
recover their lost armaments, wealth
and population. and again be ready to
fly at each others throats after
lapse OF quarter or half century?
To us neutrals these are the important
questions. far more important than
the question of who will win and what
changes in the territorial possessions
Of the warning nations will ensue.
The cost OF the war is certain to be
colossal. both in loss OF wealth and In
loss of life; and, worst of all, this loss
of life will be of such kind as to inn
pair the future stamina OF the races OF
Europe. 1t means the moving down
OF the flower of European manhood,
the cutting off from pareEthood Of the
bravest, strongest, healthieet young
men, and the leaving to their less
sturdy brothers whose defects in
stature, lungs. heart, eyesight and
other particulars excluded them from
the army thee ontinuance of the race,
If SO terrible cost can be justified
at all, it can only be by securing a.
correspondingly great return. 1t Is
often true In history that the more
terrible calamity the greater the
stimulus to prevent its recurrence. On
this principle the present war ought
to be followed by the greatest oppor-
tunity for lasting peace which Europe
has ever had
After Europe has drunk to the dregs
this bitter cup OF sorrow, after all the
suffering and humiliation to come,
there viii sc.icaly be found a man,
woman or chilu in Europe, whether
among the victorious or the vanquish
ed nations. who will not thirst for
peace-for peace which will endure.
Then, we may believe, win be the
psychological moment for construc-
tive craftsmanship Of the highest or
der. 1t remains to be seen whether
statesmen are available who can rise
to the occasion.
If some of the heads OF the contend
ing governments and the heads OF neu-
trail powers, especially In the United |
States. can then present practicable
plan to keep the peace, the people of
Europe will welcome it with acclaim,
and any reluctant sovereigns can
scarcely avoid accepting it. No one
can yet tell what particular form such
a peace, if brought about at all, will
assume. But it is. | believe, more
likely to be in an international agree
ment backed up by military force-a
league of peace such as Mr.. Carnegie
proposed, but provided with some form
of international police.
1t may be that even such an APP |
proach to federation of the world"
is still only poets dream. But it |
can not seem more remote today than
did general European war little
over fortnight ago. Events move
fast in these days
