sudden perception of mysterious pun

to reach the irksome grass-wisp with

Then he rose, cast reproachful
glance behind him, and trotted off.

NEW DENTIST HAS ARRIVED

A new detist arrived in Paris last
Friday evening and for the present,
will make his headquarters at the
home of Mrs. Amelia Hoge. DR.. Wal
ter S. Hoge arrived from Blackfoot.
Saturday morning and as he entered
the old home he declares that the
young dentist Immediately recogniz-
ed his papa" DR.. Hoge, who re-
turned to Blackfoot, Monday morn
ing, is the proudest papa in Idaho.
He says that DR.. Walter S. Hoge, Jr.,
is such a clever chap that he will be
able to make his first set of teeth
and will save the trouble of cutting
them. Mama Hoge and the baby are
doing nicely-Paris Post.

| is of the same belief still. But when
a man gets bunch like that Blackfot
preacher, the ladies aid, the fellow
who runs the children's home in
Boise and a schoolma am who, ac-
cording to her own testimony, when
an inmate of the Trego home peeked
and listened for some sight or sound
upon which to build scandal, he is
up against hard proposition, as a
little thing like truth is not allowed
to interfere with their construction
of evidence. For instance, some
kind-hearted CD ladies of Blackfoot
circulated a story to the effect that
the girl in the case, who was ward
of the Tregos, had not clothing fit
to wear in public, and they took up
a collection to purchase new ward
robe. The writer saw this girl in her
house, school and Sunday clothes and
knows that this story was absolutely
false, and the women who told it
knew it was false, as evidenced the
fact, stated in the last issue of the
Republican, that the money collected
for the purchase of clothing was de-
posted in bank, to the girls credit,
while she continued to appear in the
clothing provided by the Tregos,
clothing proper and suitable for any
girl from a well-to-do home. Fur
thermore, the girls room, which was
shown the writer while being con-
Quoted by the Tregos through their
beautiful home, of which they are
justly proud, was bright, cheerful,
nicely furnished apartment, just such
room as loving parents would pro-
vide for an only daughter.
The girl came from wretched
family and is of a character easily in
fluenced by a melo-dramatic appeal
from bunch of human jackals who,
once started on the chase to ruin a
home, stop not for truth or honor.
Nothing but the anguish of broken
hearts will satisfy their fiendish lust

GARDEN HINTS

The farmer who contemplates
Growing his own vegetables should
nee that all rubbish is removed from
The ground and as soon as possible the
xround should be given through prep
aration for the young plants.
A deep rich we'll drained sandy
loam is considered best for vegetable
Growing. If possible the land should
slope gently toward the south or
southeast, as the land will warm up
more quickly in the spring.
A plot of ground 50x1OO feet If
properly managed and fertilized will
produce an abundant supply of fresh
Vegetables for large family.
Avoid planting the same crop year
after year on the same spot of land
As this is quite often the cause Of
serious attacks of insects and fungous
diseases.
Where early vegetables, such as
t0matoes, eggplant, peppers, etc.,
are desired the plants should be
crown in hot bed and later trans
planted to the open ground.
IN For making the hot bed a supply Of
fresh horse manure is necessary, as
this is the best heat giving manure
generally available.
Such crops as peas beets, CABBAGE,
and radishes may be started in the
open ground before danger Of frost
is past, as light frosts do no damage
to them.

LEMHI HERALD
e. K. Abbott, editor

Many a reader is impressed with
the belief that Editor Trego of Black
foot was railroaded to the peniten-
tiary, whence the supreme court has
rescued him for the ordeal of new
trial. Guilty or not guilty, there
was not much fairness displayed in
the method of prosecuting his case,
and the public will rally to his cause
this time. In his paper, the Black
fot Republican, he is telling his
story of the matter and reciting the
amin, of lot of scrubs and hypo-
critics of that enterprising burg, in
such indicative style that they will
hardly be able to get jury for the
second trial-at least, such jury as
that which delivered the FIRST load of
poles"
1t all goes to show that base in
gratitude, as human attribute, is
not dead, or even sleeping. 1t shows
how wretchedly depraved many self
styled reformers become, how wildly
they may imagine, and how distort-
ingly they may pervent the truth in
order to accomplish their ends.
1t also shows that an editor may
help AMI promote the interests of an
other for weeks, and months, and
years, only to discover that he has
been rearing and feeding viper, that
will return venomous bite whenever
the editor ceases to feed and cherish.
Brother Trego, better cease to feed
and cherish any who may prove to be
venomous vipers; keep plenty of
snake-remedy about, and take no
chances.
Certainly, wnen he gets through
with that. scrubby lot of pretended
moral reformers, whose personnel he
is naming and bawling out as. freely
as II they were intimate acquain-
tances, some of them will turn their
shameful faces to the wall, or else
arrange to move to other fields.
Morality! How many monstrous
lies are told in thy name?
Richfield Recorder
G. s. Lisle. editor
The supreme court has reversed
the decision in the Trego case from
Blackfoot, sending it back for retrial.
on the apparent If not definitely ex-
pressed belief that the evidence was
manufactured and was not true or at
least was not fair. Judge Ailshie dis
sented, saying that If the case we're
retired only the same evidence could
be presented; and it would mean
another trial with the same result
or the case should be dismissed.
The Recorder has not commented
on this case-but 1t has privately be-
lieved the case to be somewhere
between mistaken zeal and bald
frame-up. Mr.. Trego has news
papers honesty and frankness as I'M
usual as his lack of tact, and he
has made many needless enemies by
saying things which, though true,
were unnecessary to say, and better
left unsaid. He has many virulent
enemies in consequences; and 1t is
fair guess that, IL they did not ac-
tually get him, they were willing to
see him suffer for what the evidence
does not seem to have fairly convicted
him. With the supreme court doubt
ing the evidence, and censuring the
zeal of the prosecution, 1t
is doubtful whether the case comes
up again.
No one would rejoice to see a
grown man victor over helpless
girl. But this case looks so SUSPECT
ously like the recent Gore persecu-
tion-though this one had some very
honest n mistaken backing-thatl

POcatelIO Chronicle
G.. r. Scott, editor


The case of the state versus Byrd
Trego, the editor of the Blackfoot
Republican, has been reversed by the
supreme court of Idaho and new
trial has been ordered. This case
has attracted much attention on ac-
count Of the prominence Of Mr.. Trego,
he having been president Of the East
,ern Idaho Press association and a
prominent man in the Grove City.
When he was first charged with a
statutory crime against his ward,
many were willing to condemn him
without hearing. Feeling run high
during his trial, but Mr.. Trego con-
tinued editing his paper and leading
an upright life and many who had
criticized him, began to watch the
man and as they did so their con-
fidence in him was strengthened.
Just when another trial will be heard
is not now known, but before opin-
ion is formed in any case it is we'll
to remember, There is so much i'll
in the best of us and so much good
in the worst of us, that it scarcely
'behooves any of us to speak i'll of the
rest Of u.s."
Montpelier Examiner
Charles E. Wright, editor
The Blackfoot Republican IS GER
tainly stirring up 'the dry bones" in
the Grove City these days. Editor
Trego has been writing series of
articles in which he has shown up
the extravaganza of some of the
county officials and last week he fired
the first of a series of shots at those
who were SO eager to help kick him
down hill when he was arrested last
spring on statutory charge. Trego
is striking right from the shoulder
and before he gets through, some Of
the Blackfoot citizens will feel so
small that they will be able to crawl
through two-inch hole.

The New Time

Charles Hackney, editor
The last issue of the Blackfoot Re-
publican devotes several columns to
the story of the almost successful at
tempt of bunch in that town to rail-
road its editor into the penitentiary.
The supreme court found the testi-
mony and rulings of the lower court
so unfair that 1t set the verdict aside
and sent the case back for a new
trial Mr.. Trego is telling his side
of the story, now, and telling the
plain, unvarnished truth, and it does
MT speak well for some people in
Blackfoot.
The editor of New Time has known
Mr.. Trego for many years and just
a week or two before the villainous
plot developed, was weekend guest
at Sagehurst, the beautiful home of
the Tregos at Blackfoot. Immediate
