The Roanoke Times: Mr.. j. H.
Linkous, 403 Church ave-, west, is
the first person in Roanoke to re
ceive a letter telling of the excite
ing incidents on the Mexican bord-
er. The letter came yesterday, ard
was from his sister, Mrs. f. C. Mer-
cia, at Ell Paso, Texas. Her husband
is bridge foreman of the Ell Paso
Bridge & Iron Company. They form
erly lived in Roanoke, and have many
relatives and friends in this city and
vicinity. Mrs. Mercia visited her sis
ter, Mrs. j. E. Grisson, here last fall
She wrote her brother as follows:
Ell Paso, Tex, 4-23-14.
While times are exciting will try
and write you few lines to tell you
l am we'll and safe at present, but we
don't know what will happen. Things
are serious here, all kinds of rumors
street fights and excitement of all
kinds.
Armed Men in the Streets.
People are carrying guns through
the streets and the whole town is full
of guards and soldiers. The power
house, reservoire and ice plants are
all guarded. 1t is simply terrible to
see these good looking soldiers going
to war to be killed and slaughtered
by such n low down dirty nation that
has no principle whatever, and to see
what we have done for the rebels and
helped them In every way, then they
have all joined together against us,
but we will soon whip them out, as
Snnofnr HhnDaoC "a

sion l ever heard.
Some Mothers Boy.
When / look at these soldiers I
think that they are some mothers
boy. Tonight the town will be under
martial law. The soldiers are to camp
In the streets. am going down to
see them. Villa is coming with lot
of soldiers to land across the river
and already the town is swarming
with Mexicans, and besides that there
is bunch of Mexicans, 5000, the
United States is feeding in q corrall
at the fort. / wish Charlie was here.
Am looking for him soon, but thank
Heaven he is too old to be forced to
fight.
Some Leaving Town.
l guess if we have to whip them
out the women and children will all
have to leave town. Some are already
are already leaving. Some people are
afraid to go to sleep at night, but I
don't lose any sleep over it. / guess
you get all the news there. We have
about fifteen extras every day and
when the hundreds of newsboys be-
gin yelling "extra," it is certainly ex-
citing. Now, as 1 am so excited my
self, will close with love to all. Don't
be uneasy. I'll try and be on the sha-
dy side of the street.
Lovingly,

VACANCY ON SU.
PREME BENCH
Believed that Successor to Justice
Stewart, Now Seriously III,
Will be Named.

That there is a possibility, If not
probability, that one of the supreme
court justiceships may within a short
time be declared vacant because TO
the continued illness OF Justice George
II. Stewart, who Is now In a SAN
tarium at Port'a ID ece,ving treatment
has become known In official state
eircles. The matter has been serious
consideration by Governor John M.
Hatnes, who by virture of his office
has the power, in the event a Justice
remains away from the jurisdiction
OF the, state for period Of 30 days or
longer without permission from the
chief executive, to declare the office
vacant.
Realization that the condition OF
Justice Stewart is such that there
is now said to be little possibility
hat he will ever again sit upon the
bench of supreme court, is causing
not little speculation in Official
circles. For some time Justice
stewart has been off the bench. His
present trouble developed some years
lgo and caused him to take trip
east to consult specialists. There he
was operated upon for muscular
trouble OF the neck. He returned to
md resumed his duties on the bench.
de was taken Ill, however again
and last fall suffered q severe fall
when he slipped on an icy sidewalk
and struck his head against curb
Within q few weeks he was again
back on the bench, but sickness again
attacked him and he suffered stroke
of paralysis during the Coeur
d Alene term of the supreme court.
Later he was wellenough to return to
Boise but did not go upon the bench
and on May 17.left here for Portland.
He abs since remained In that city.
So-far as can be learned his condition
not improving.
Vt the time Justice Stewart left
acre he secured leave of absence
for 30 days from the governor. BY the
power vested In the governor In the
event the office is vacated longer
t can be declared vacant whereupon
the duty Of selecting a successor can
be taken up.-Calital News

Music Hath Charms.

Dohnanyi. the famous pianist. tells
story Of two Scotchmen who lived
In the same fiat. Each had piano.
upon which he strummed In his own
room, and one day a friend suggested
that they should run the two pianos
into the same room so that they could
play music written for two pianos.
The two men thought II was a good
idea. and accordingly the pianos were
both placed In the same room. They
practiced diligently at sonata for two
pianos, but with little success for some
time, the difficulty being that one had
generally finished his movement two or
three bars before the other
At last. however, they succeeded In
finishing one movement exactly at the
same moment, and one said. "Aweel,
Donald. now that we've been so sue
cessful with the first movement. sup
pose we try the second"
Donald looked at him In profound as

claimed. that was the second move

New Register Appointed.

Frank s Heer OF Silver City, the
newly appointed register OF the local
United States land office, assumed
the duties of his office Monday. He
took the oath of office Satur-
day morning, on the arrival of his
comm IS on from Washington.
Mr.. Heer has been living In Boise
the past two weeks, expecting any
day to receive his commission. 1t
was delayed through technically
that arose as to the form of his bond
The new register entered the office
to find plenty of work ahead of him.
The regulations of the landoffices,
ouch as those relating to homestead
entries, are such that much Of the
business cannot be disposed of with
out a register, and great deal of 1t
was held up pending the qualification
of the successor to the late William
Balderston.
The Work has piled up to such an
extent that 1t will probably be several
weeks before Mr.. Heer can finally
dispose of all the back business.
Mr.. Heer Is a man with a family
but he does not expect to move his
household to Boise until the cooler
weather commences.-Stat

fire DESTROYS
MUCH PROPERTY
The J. B. Stanfield Dairy Barns,
Poultry Sheds, Hay and Tank
Hsuse Totally Destroyed


One OF the most disastrous as
well as spectacular fires that have
visited Mountain Home for several
years was that of Sunday evening
when the windmill tower and motor
house, two dairy barns and poultry
house on the ]. B. Stanfield ranch
just inside of the city limits were
consumed together with tewnty tons
of first cutting of alfalfa, machinery
and about one hundred chickens, en-
failing loss of about $4,000.
The fire is supposed to have
been started by the motor which had
been used early in the evening, in
the lower portion of the windmill
tower which contained nearly IA
900 feet of lumber. Had the fire
broke out earlier in the evening dur
ing the high wind storm, results
would have been disastrous to that
portion of the city in the path of
the wind.

Lost River Wants Separate Govern.
ment; So Does Camas Prairie


Hailey-It Is expected that the
next meeting of the legislature will
witness more strife over the further
division of Blaine County. The peo-
pie of the Lost River country are
again agitating the question of coun-
ty division and propose taking a
large part of new county from
Blaine with a small portion from
Bonneville. Arco is the proposed
county seat, as it will be almost in
the center of the county as it is
now planned.
The Lost River people seem to be
a unit on division.
The second petition for a new
county comes from Camas Prairie. Il
is proposed to name the new county
Camas, with Fairfield as the county
seat. This petition has large mum.
Der of signers bu it is stated that
the majority of the residents of the
old town of Soldier are not in favor
of it
Fairfield is a new town nearly two
Miles from Soldier and on the rail-
road. There is intense rivalry be-
tween the town and only few of the
former residents of Soldier have
abandoned the old town and moved
to the new.

Liohtninq Cures.

Some have had physical reasons to rejoice that they had been struck by lightning. De Quatrefages mentions the case of telegraph employee at Strassburg who was struck senseless and remained paralyZel until the next day. but thereafter enjoyed better health than ever before. In Martinique a NJ. Roalde was deprived by lightning of the use of his limbs for three hours, but. having previously been man of weak health. was much stronger from that time on. Several authors refer to cases in which rheumatism was cured by lightning. And in this respect also trees seem to be as men. Arago saw a poplar. one of an avenue of 1900 near Tours. which. having been struck. developed such vigor that it's trunk soon far surpassed in dimensions those of all its neighbors.
