FRANK CALAIS
KILLED SUNDAY
Hit By Bullet Firm 1903 Savage Rifle
Which Was Intended for q
Deer-Bled to Death
SHOT FIRED BY H. B. EMERSON
Funeral Services Held Tuesday After
noon, Rev. Henderson Officiating

Frank Gallas, a rancher residing
near the Hooker school, north of
town, was killed Sunday afternoon
when he was struck by a bullet
from a 303 Savage rifle fired by
II. B. Emerson. The bullet en-
tered the left thigh just below the
hip and shattered the thigh bone
and severed the femoral artery.
Gallas lived about 10 minutes after
he was shot.
Emerson is married man about
80 years of age and is the lessee of
the o. J. Bandelin ranch north of
town. Shortly after a o'clock
Sunday afternoon he left the home
of Mr.. Isbel, where he had been
visiting, and started for home. He
had gone only a short distance,
perhaps FIVE minute walk, when
he saw what he thought were a
couple of deer in the road quite a
distance in front of him. 1t was
getting dark rapidly and Emerson
could not see plainly. He shot at
the animals and one of them turned
off into the brush by the side of
the road. Emerson then shot into
the brush where the animal had
entered. This was the shot that
hit Gallas, who, it seems, had
been hunting and was just coming
teHto-tha-Ioad, accompanied by his
two dogs which Emerson had mis-
taken for deer.
Emerson hurried on to the place
where he had seen the supposed
deer and when he heard a groan
from the wounded man he realized
what he had done. He hastily ex-
amined the wound and then hur-
ried back to Mr.. Isbel's home to
get aid. Gallas was not able to
speak when Mr.. Isbel arrived and
died in few minutes from loss of
blood.
Gallas is survived by a wife and
two small children, one about four
and one about two years old. He
is brother-in-law by marriage of
H. B. CARAT. Emerson is a
nephew of Mr.. CARAT.
The funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon at two O'Clock
at the Moore's Undertaking Par
lors, Rev. +. r. Henderson con-
Quoting the services. The funeral
was attended by large gathering
of the friends of the deceased and
his family.
The deceased was p years old
and was a native of the state of
Pennsylvania.

Barnes and Elizabeth Myers pre-
sented application for registration
through W. R. Seymour who was
not q freeholder within the pre-
cinct.
In Priest River precinct the
complaint alleges that Mrs. M. w.
Mclean voted and " as not a legal
voter within the precinct, as did
also Mrs. William Moscrip in
Northfork precinct. 1t is also al
legged that Flora J. Trainer voted
in Blue Lake precinct but was a
legal voter in Priest River precinct.
1t is claimed that Charles E..
Hagman, McCombs' opponent,
voted in West Branch precinct but
had for a period of two years pre-
viously been legal voter in Priest
River precinct; that Hagman acted
as clerk on the election board in
West Branch precinct and acted as
distributing clerk and in other ca
pacities.
McCombs received a total of
1458 votes and Hagman a total of
1862 votes upon the returns made
to the county board from the vari-
Gus precincts of the county. Nc
Combs asserts in his complaint that
the irregularities mentioned in it
are sufficient to nullify the vote
within the precincts and that with
out those votes the result would
have been his election.

REVENUE
FROM WAR TAX
Estimated That Government Will Col
lect Six Billion Dollars a Year
Under New Law
ST 200 FROM BONNERS FERRY
Banks, Shows, Tobacco Dealers and
Pool Rooms Hit

Roughly estimated on a conserv-
alive basis Boomers Ferry will con-
tribute about 81 200 to the special
war tax which was created by the
national legislature this summer
and which went into effect Octo-
Der 23rd in many instances. Fig
uring on the basis of taxation, it is
probable that over $1,000, 900, =
10000 will be collected in a year S
time throughout the United States
by this war tax,
When the war tax was proposed
it is claimed that the government
wished to raise 500, 900, 100000.
Men who understand the matters
of government revenue claim that
the administration had in mind to
raise a great deal more money than
was actually needed when the war
tax bill was passed and that it was
and is the intention of the admin
istration to use this surplus to pro-
vide additional war defenses for
the United States.
In Boomers Ferry the two banks
are required to pay the government
81. 90 for every 81, 900 of capital
stock, surplus and undivided pro-
fits. There is small tax required
for all legal papers and on all freight
and express business. Local to-
bacco dealers will have to pay 81 sc
per year each and pool rooms anc
billiard halls are required to pay
$500 for each table each year the
war tax is in effect. There is al
additional tax on wines and beer o
one cent per quart. There is NJ
additional tax on whiskey. Nov
ing picture shows are required t.
pay license of SIS per year if tn,
seating capacity is under $50; i
over ESQ the show must pay $50.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT AT NAPLES
VIM. Hartley Hit in Leg When Rifls
Was Accidentally Discharged

VIM. Hartley we'll know resi-
dent of Naples, was accidentally
shot through the calf of the right

IRRECULARITY
IN ELECTION
George McCombs Starts Action to
Contest Election Of Hasman
for Commissioner
CLAIMS FRAUDS PERFORATED
Plaintiff Was Defeated in General
Election by ii Votes

Claiming that there was fraud in
several precincts in the Priest River
country at the recent election,
George McCombs of Priest River,
who has been for two terms county
commissioner from the second dis
trict and whose home is at Priest
River, commenced an action in dis
trict court Monday against Charles
E. Hagman, protesting Hagman S
election over him as commissioner.
BY the official vote Hagman de-
feated McCombs for the Office of
commissioner by II votes.
The complaint was filed by Her
man H. Taylor in McCombs' be-
half and is quite exhaustive in de-
tail, giving a number of instances
in which McCombs claims fraud
was perpetrated upon him. The
complaint recites that in Blue Lake
precinct J. w. Meyer, Cal Huff
and ]. M. Prater were duly ap-
pointed, qualified and acting judges
and appeared on election day and
were present at the opening of the
polls and declared the same to be
open and ready for voting; that
afterwards William Meegan, one
Bleedhorn, Alex Demo, John
Chambers, and Thomas Benton ap-
peared at the polls and threatened
by force and violence the members
of the voting board legally consti-
tuted; that as a result OF these
mems vile language and threaten
ing attitude, Cal Huff, one of the
election board, left the place, and
that one Brown, who was clerk of
the election board, refused to act;
that Bleedhorn, Meegan, Demo,
Chambers and Benton thereupon,
together with other persons acting
with them, elected John Chambers
as one of the judges of election
and Alex Demo as clerk. The
complaint recites that Chambers
and Demo did not take oath of
Office; that Demo was not duly
registered as a qualified elector in
the precinct until after rs or 80
votes had been cast; that he was in
fact registered in the Priest River
precinct.
1t is further alleged that in the
Blue Lake precinct Flora Trainer,
Ed Trainer, Julius A Larson,
Amanda Long, George Johnson
Alex Demo, Mervina Demo and
c. L. Butten were allowed to vote
and were not registered and quail.
fled voters within the precinct
1t is also claimed that in this pre-
cinct ]. T. Chambers, acting as one
of the judges, entered the voting
booth with his wife when she vot
ed. 1t is claimed, too, that Doug
las Mcdonald, in signing and yer
living to a freeholder's oath fol-
maud Goldman, was not free
