DEMOCRATS NOT
FOXY ENOUGH
Fail in Plan to Throw Commissioner
McColI Out of Office in Old
Bonner County
WILL STAY UNTIL JULY lST
New Commissioner Is Anxious for
Authority

The democrats of old Bonner
county tried to slip something over
on Commissioner D. c. McColl last
week but seemed to have had but
little success, much to the disgust
of the Northern Idaho News ring.
Some time ago and after the
county division bill had passed and
Governor Alexander was taking up
the matter of making the appoint
ments of the officials of the new
county of Boundary, the democrats
of Bonner county were consider
ably exercised through fear that
Commissioner McColl would elect
to stay in the old county. If Nc
Coll stayed in Bonrer county the
republicans would have control of
the board but if he came to the
new county the democrats would
have control Of the boards in both
the old and the new counties.
About this time Governor Alexan-
der is said to have sworn that he
would absolutely appoint no repub-
1ican to any kind of an Office.
Standpoint democrats gained the
governors ear and persuaded him
of the wisdom of allowing Commits
sioner McColl to come to Boundary
county if he would, and after con-
siderable deliberation Mr.. McColl
decided that his business interests
would not allow him to remain
commissioner of the old county.
The Standpoint dem ocrats then
had little private three cornered
scrap as to whom was to receive
the appointment as commissioner
of Bonner county in McColl S
stead. Frank J. Mcbride, who is
the real leader of the party in
Standpoint, got the plum. Just at
this time a commission as commits
sioner of Boundary county was
sent to McColl, whereupon Cover
nor Alexander and the Standpoint
democrats claimed that McColl was
no longer an official of the old
county because he became an &C
tual officer of new county when
the commission was issued to him
and he could not legally hold an
Office in both counties. This might
have been true had Mr.. McColl
filed the required oath of office with
the secretary of state as the law re-
quires must be done before com
mission of office can be issued. But
he did not do so and still has the
same oath of Office which will not
be filed until Commissioner McCol
gets good and ready regardless o.
the assertions that the oath il
question has been filed. The faul
of the mix-up seems to rest some
where in Governor Alexander:
office.
Attorney General Peterson gave
it as his opinion that McColl wa
not an ofice-holder of Bonnei
county but this opinion was giver
on the supposition that McColl haC
filed his oath of office.
Standpoint democrats have threat
ened to start legal proceedings t.
Gust McColl but the Moravia com
missioner is sitting tight and ha
announced his intention of acting
as the chairman of the Bonnie
county board of commissioners I'm
til July l. 1t seems to be a case o
we should worry" on the part o
the republicans.

SLAYER OF TEXAS
RANCHMAN CAUGHT
Sequel to Sensational Kid
naping and Murder
Last February.

LAREDO, Sept 2O-Apolouio Ro-
driguez, former captain of Nlctori-
anO Huerta's McXlCau army, was
| lodged in Jail here today 10y Texas
rangers on a charge Of stealing tlur-
teen horses from Clemente Nergara
a Texas TanChman in February 1919.
| This case, in which Nerglra lost his
! life caused much interest at the
time.
Vergara, It is alleged was onljced
| by MeNicans to an island in the Rio
L,Grande on February 10, 1914, Joy the
fstatement that he would receive pay
Texas ranch. Nergara was kidnapped
when he reached the island and later
killed and buried on Mexican soil
ApOlOniO Rodriguez Hucrta captain
at Nuevo Laredo at the time was
charged with the crime by Texas
authorities. but despite their efforts
his arrest was never secured on Mex
lean soil
After the governor Of Texas had re-
Quested without result that Nergara's
body be returned to Laredo Texas
for burial, eight Americans, whose
identity have not been made public.
crossed the river on the night ot
March 6, 1914, exhumed the body and
returned it to Texas for burial
Texas rangers, 1t is said, have
watched Rodriguez's movements since
that time and finally he was arrested
in FL Paso last Friday. While he is
charged with horsetheft, much inter-
est attaches to the case in view Of the
charge that Rodriguez was the muir
derer of Vergara, an American citi-
zen, for whom Texas demanded pun
ishment at the hands Of Mexican
authorities and which demand was
ignored.
