The death of John T. Sanders last

CUB BEAR KILLED ON
EDGE OF TOWN
Fell A Victim to Lester Down
ing's Gun-Was Half
Grown

A cub bear, about as large as a
good sized dog, was killed Saturday
on the very edge of town by Lester
Downing.
The hear was first seen Friday by
Mrs. Henry Smoke She was out in
the garden looking after the irriga-
ton water, when she saw Bruin ap-
preaching. 1t looked as big as an
elephant to her, and it didn't take
her very long to make up her mind
that as between flooding the country
and being hugged by a bear, she
would rather take her chances with
the water even though it ioated the
house, and she made record sprint
ing to the house. The bear seemed
to be hungry for young pigs and at
tempted to break through the woven
wire fence into the hog pen, but with
out success. 1t then leisurely wended
its way to the William Woody ranch,
occupied by R. V. Jones and tried to
eaten pig tnefe, Dut was unSucceSS-
full.
As soon as Mrs. Smoke recovered
from her fright, she hurried to Al
win Myers house and informed him
of what she had seen. But they made
fun of her, declaring she had seen
visions, and refused to hunt the bear
down. Other neighbors took little
stock in her story.
But when Mr.. Downing tracked the
beast and killed it, Mrs. Smoke was
vindicated, and the joke was on the
doubling neighbors. Mr.. Downing
will make rug out the hide, and the
meat-well, a fat cub bear isn't bad
eating at all, at all.

Hunters Have Bad Luck

Word was received Friday from
the -Mills-Haylor hunting
party that they had been forced to
give up going into the Thunder Noun
tain country on account of the difficult
ty of the trail. One of their pack
horses, belonging to Leslie Mills,
slipped off the trail and rolled down
the mountain side, but was not injur-
ed seriously. They have returned to
their old hunting grounds near Knox.
They report that the woods are full
of hunters.

Burroughs Reply

October 5, 1914.
Hon. H. c. Baldridge, Parma, Idaho.
Dear Mr. Baldridge: l have your
letter of October 3 in which you in
quire as to whether there is any
foundation in my opinion for the
charges made by Treasurer Monk last
week, so far as they relate to our
present County Clerk. In reply l beg
to state that Mr. Monks statements,
as regards County Clerk StoveI, were
not of direct nature. He indirectly
charge Mr.. Stovel with dishonesty and
charged Mr.. Stovel with dishonesty
and incompetency, however.
With regard to the latter subject,
the record of Mr.. GtovePs administra-
tion is open to the public and he must
stand or fall, as he must be willing to
do, by his official acts in Office
As to the implied charge of dis
honesty, 1 unhesitatingly brand it as
untrue and unworthy the cause of
Progressive principles. l know that
Mr.. Stovel is scrupulously honest.
Time and again l have seen him tried
and he stands up so straight that l
have thought him in danager of top
pling over backward
l yield to no man in loyalty to Pro-
gressive principles. want to see
the Progressive ticket elected that
these principles may be put in force,
and I shall labor whole-heartedly to
that end. But if to succeed the Pro-
gressive party must blacken the in
tegrity of an honest man, the cost is
too great. Very truly yours,
F. G. BURROUGHS.

On behalf of himself and others,
Finley Monroe appeared to protest
against the cost of repairing cement
sidewalks being assessed against the
abutting property. His protest was
based on the ground that the ordin-
ance required by the statutes had not
been passed, and that therefore pro-
perty owners are not liable for the
expense of the repairs. The council
took the matter under advisement.

LONDON, July 3.-whiIe there
has been a halt during June in thu
progress OF the Home Rule bill toward
the statute book. II will make its third
appearance before the house Of lords
on June 80. II is everywhere accepted
as safe prediction that the lords will
reject ii with its usual overwhelming
majority. and thereby bring the "a
nous parliamentary act into play for
its first truly revolutionary part in
British history. H.. 49," -
Under terms OF this act Mr. Asquith
the prime minister who is father Of
the present Home Rule scheme, will
present the bill to the king Tor his sig
nature. and with this il will become
law. Unionist leaders have denouncS I
this action as 'coercing the king" but
no on: doubts that the royal assent
will be given. So far as coercion is
concerned. no one knows what are
King Georges personal views but the
Liberals Drofess tn believe that at
heart he Is one of themselves.
After the bill itself the lords viii
be called upon To consider the amend.
ing act which will be introduced as
government measure The present
prospect is that the amending act viii
contain only Mr.. Asduith's first olive
branch Of six years exclusion from the
Dublin government for those counties
which choose II BY a referendum.
With Home Rule pending. Ireland
remains remarkably free from the
fierce enmities and riotous blo0dshed
