CHAPTER III-Continued.

Half an hour later he departed, to
rejoin her at eleven o'clock, when the
reporters were to be expected. He
was to do all the talking for her.
While he was there, Leslie Wrandall
called her up on the telephone. Hear
ing but one side of the rather pro-
longed conversation, he was filled with
wonder at the tactful way in which
she met and parted the inevitable
questions and suggestions coming
from her horrorstricken brother-in-
law. Without the slightest trace of
ofensiveness in her manner, she gave
Leslie to understand that the final OBJ
sequies must be conducted in the
home OF his parents, to whom once
more her husband belonged, and that
she would abide by all arrangements
his family elected to make. Mr.. Car
roll surmised from the trend Of con-
versation that young Wrandall was
about to leave for the scene Of the
tragedy, and that the house was In
state Of unspeakable distress. The
lawyer smiled rather grimly to him
self as he turned to look out OF the
window. He did not have to be told
that Cnallis was the idol Of the family.
and that, SO far as they were con-
cerned. he could do no wrong!
After his departure, Mrs. Wrandall
gently opened the bedroom door and
was surprised to find the girl wide
awake, resting on one elbow, her star
ing eyes fastened on the newspaper
that topped the pile on the chair.
Catching sight Of Mrs. Wrandall she
pointed to he paper with trembling
hand and cried out, in a voice full of
horror:
did you place them there for me to
read? Who was with you in the other
room Just now? Was it some one
about the-some one looking for me ?

fion," said the other, taking the girls

involving the editor in row, get him
beaten up, injured they cared not how

physical ability, weighing 100 lbs,

state of Idaho, or mismanaged county
in the United States.
Last week the Republican began
publishing the record of the liquor

was either true or false. And if false

Roy Leeper has to do is to show that ii
is false and the Republican will 60 the
limit to undo the wrong it may have
done any citizen Of Elk River, and to
correct any discreditable reflection on
Sheriff Harper. The Republican has
no desire to wrong any county official.

does not settle question Of right or
wrong; that no assault by a deputy

away the life of the man a big, fighing,
bullying officer of the law was to as
sault. If Leeper killed or seriously in
jured his victim what of it? They could
swear self-defense, and does anyone
who read the gang paper during the
Maynard Brown trial doubt the motive
of the Blakes? Was this gang secreted
for any good? Why did Leeper
swear threats because we refused to
stand and fight with bully?
Perhaps it is cowardly for a little
man to run from big man who wants
to injure him, and is physically able to
do it. But the one thing that the ed
itor of this paper realized was that the
gang who urged Roy Leeper on, the
bosses behind the court house ring.
the corrupt wretches who rule this
county and profit from whatever graft
that may exist, wanted p. L. Orcutt
not to run. They expected the editor
of this paper to get involved in serious
trouble. Had we been armed and
pulled gun it would have delighted
them. Had we permitted Roy Leeper
to strike US and then shot him in sell
defense it would have been just what
they hoped for; it would have tied the
editor of the Republican up and by the
time we could have gotten out of jail
the campaign now on would have been
practically over. They would sacri.
flee Roy Leeper or any other of their
poor dupes to close the mouth oi
p. L. Orcutt.
That knife kept Roy Leeper from
attacking, but had we stood our ground
and he had shot US down in cold blood,
he would have pleaded self-defense
and made it stick, without doubt. II
he shot we proposed to make him
shoot us in the back, and by running
hoped to make it clear that we had nc
intention or desire to injure him. Il

trouble indicates the coward, alright

OF wrong-doing or neglect of duty.
But gangs are gangs because the
men who compose them lack honor,
decency and ability TO defend them
selves except by brute force. Gangs
can't stand the light Of investigations;
wrong ard corruption cannot stand in
the open and defend itself against
right. And the best evidence that the
Blake gang is wrong is their own atti-
tude. Their actions betrav them.
They are afraid of investigation.
Monday morning Roy Leeper, a
deputy sheriff, who raised his right
hand to God and swore to obey and en-
force the law, laid in wait for the ed
itor of the Republican. He knew that
we must come down past the school
house, and he waited. Once he was
in company with Deputy Sheriff Sisk,
from whose house our approach could
be seen without attracting attention.
Deputy Sheriff Leeper, probably
armed, mad with rage and bent on
physical violence, saw us turn the COR
ner and he walked back toward town,
then, as we turned down the street to-
wards the Electric Light office, this
officer of the law came back up to
meet us. We did not know him. We
had never seen Roy Leeper. AS he
neared us he swung over and stood
squarely in our path on the right Of the
walk. We attempted to pass on the
other side and he stopped us, at the
same time drawing a paper from his
pocket and saying that he had some.
thing he demanded to have explained.
''My name is Leeper."
II did not take trained eye to see
that Leeper was angry. His every &C.
ton was menacing, and his voice
breathed vengeance. There is no use
saying what he intended to do. The
fact that he was there, out Of his way,
angry, cursing because the object oi
wrath, drawing a knife, sprang tc
one side and ran away from him, lndi.
Gates what he purposed. The fact tina,
several Of the court house gangsters
were conveniently secreted, shows thai
violence were intended. They antici
pated trouble and staged it so that they
would see it, and the tools Of old jim
Blake, the hounds Of He'll, could give

Eighth Grade Examinations.

Abont fifty boys and girls have been
in Orofino the past few days taking the
eighth grade examination, held the
first, second and third Of April. These
examinations are distributed over the
county at central points, all taking
place at the same time each year.
The pupils tributary to this point are
here, while Weippe, Elk River, Fraser
and Teakean are the other central
points where examinations have been
held.

mob led by Pat Blake, himself county
official, the gang drinking and Pat
Blake drunk, followed the editor of the
Republican in the night, through
the mud six miles and back. Why the
rumors at that time, of harm to the ed
itor Of the Republican? Why were the
citizens of Gilbert expecting trouble,
and why did men come there armed
that night? Why was Pat Blake sorry
that Orcutt would not stay and quarrel
with drunken mob.

ANOTHER DASTARDLY ATTEMPT to
BEAT UP PUBLISHER of REPUBLICAN

There has never been corrupt, rot
ten political gang that has not, when
any man or newspaper dared to expose
it, resorted to brute force, intimidation
and crime. Because the Blake gang
here in Clearwater county cannot meet
the charges made by the Clearwater
Republican, and cannot hold their own
in contest that requires intelligence
rather than muscle, manhood rather
than barroom brawling, and facts
rather than bluff and buster, intimi-
dation and personal abuse, they too,
like the gangsters of Tammany in New
York that resorted to brutality to in
timidate and make men fear to oppose
them, are resorting to brutality.
when the editor o6f the Republican,
in an honest effort to find out the -faets
about county business, asked ihe
county commissioners to explain an
apparent crooked transaction in the
depositing of public money, and they
could not, asked that County Treasurer
Hoar be sent for and given an oppor-
tunity to explain, the only reply of
Blair Hoar was to assault the editor of
this paper. And he did it in county
office, during office hours, in the pres
ence OF pnblic officials, and the only
f$hing that Deputy Sheriff Sisk did was
to sneak up and jump onto Orcutt's
back, holding the writer, at the same
time calling Orcutt the vilest name
known to man. At the same time
Blair Hoar tried to kick the editor Of
the Republican in the groin, and it was
not any fault of deputy sheriff OF
Clearwater county that the intended
physical injury was not inflicted. And
Blair Hoar was never so much as ar
rested by the authorities Of this county.
At about the same time one Of the
gang walked the streets Of Orofino and
urged the formation Of mob to run
the editor OF the Republican out Of the
county. In the last issue Of the Oro-
fino Tribune, Pat Blake is quoted as
urging the same thing.
Then came the trip to Gilbert, where
in a mob Of dozen, including frank
Zelenka, and Elmer Torgerson, county
commissioners; Blair Hoar, county
treasurer; Harry Hoar, his deputy; and
ex-Assessor Molloy, with others, the

An amusing incident is reported
from one Of the country districts. The
asked q class to 20 to the board and
write the names of the Clearwater
county officers. A fourteen year old
boy wrote: 1.-THE Blake gang" And
everybody knew who he meant. He

Nuts to Crack.

Suppose some bully can whip an ed
itor of paper, what has that to do
with the truth of the state
ments the paper may make? For
example, had deputy sheriff beat the
editor of the Republican into pulp,
would it have changed the facts, even
one little fact, the shipment of booze
into Elk River? Would it have proven
that May Patterson or that fellow
LaDuke or any of the rest have not
shipped booze into dry territory, and
are not bootlegging? Would it prove
the gang is or is not collecting graft
money from bootleggers and pros
| titutes?
If the Republican is not telling the
truth why do these men not arrest the
editor and send him over the road for
criminal libel? Instead, the Orofino
Tribune, the gang organ, in its last
issue admits that 1--WE can't" If so it
is because the Republican has not
libeled anybody. And it has not. That
is why they want to whip the editor.
