From everv section of the state
comes reports that Governor Alex
ander is not popular with the people.
He has made a miserable failure, has
not saved any part of his million dol
lars and has not reformed the earth
nor set anything afire. The people
are disguised and will vote for Mr..
Davis.
Elmer D. Nichols, living just out
of Moscow, marketed his peas from
72 acres last week. The crop
amounted to 1,267 sacks of 1856
pounds each and Mr.. Nichols received
cents pound. This figures out
Sc, 84l. 80 for the crop, or approxim-
ately $95 an acre.
Tom Harris, who has been har-
vesting in the Russell section, came
home this week, making the season
with Nygard and Kolasa's outfit.
Crops were satisfactory, said Mr..
Harris.

A Narrow Escape.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. A. Schillings and
wife, with their 9-months-old baby,
had most exciting experience and
narrow escape from serious injury or
death Sunday. They were returning
from the Cavendish country via Len
ore, driving livery team, when sud-
denly an auto came in sight rs feet
ahead. One of the horses gave a
snort, jacknifed, tug came down,
there was mixup in which Mr..
Schillings was dragged from his seat
and thrown to the ground, and the
horses, buggy, Mrs. Schillings and
the baby started on the back track at
breakneck speed. For a mile the
mother clutched her baby and waited
for the end. Up and down hill the
team tore, along a mile of canyon
road. Reaching the top of hill
Mrs. Schilling, baby under one arm,
jumped for her life. How she and
the baby escape injury nobody knows,
but they did, altho they got bad
shakup when they landed. Three
hundred feet beyond, matter of a
few seconds after the mother and
baby jumped, the team left the road,
plunged thru fence, and the buggy
was smashed to splinters.
The auto belonged to Mr.. Hollings-
worth, who stopped his car instantly
when the team was met, and ren.
dered every possible assistance, bring
ing Mr.. and Mrs Schillings to Oro-
fino in his car. The horses were
brought in the following day.

Our Choir has been preparing
special music for Easter services
next Sunday and the pastor will
deal with topics in keeping with
the thought of the day.
After a forced absence from
all our services for almosta year,
Sister M. E. Read, was with us
again last Sunday morning. We
all rejoiced because she was so
much improved in health and
was with US in the hour of public
worship. She has suffered much
and long, but has borne it all
without complaint or murmur.
Her influence among strangers
has been of such a strong char

To Trial In Grant County

Archie Sweet has not changed
his story about his movements
the afternoon of the Byers muir
der and has not made a denial
that he saw the teacher that af-
ternoon. Because he says some
people have misunderstood his
first letter to the Globe, publish
ed last week, he has written
again in explanation of his pro-
test against the statement cred
tied to him.
He still adheres to his original
story about seeing Miss Byers
as she was coming from her
school house toward her board
ing house, but as to the time she
was killed, whether it was few
minutes after she passed out of
his sight or not, he declares he
knows nothing. 1t was the state
ment that he saw her "a few
minutes before she was killed"
in the story of Sweets talk with
Attorney General Brewster that
the prisoner objects to.
Sweet expects to go into court
in Grant County next week. He
believes his attorney, Jake Shep.
pard, Of Fort Scott, will ask and
receive change of venue. Sweet
has not written to the lawyer
nor had a letter from him, but
the lawyer wrote Ford county
officials that he would be here in
time for the trial.
'I'll not object to going to trial
in Grant county If the officials
there can guarantee me a fair
trial." Sweet said today. II
talked with County Attorney
Stubbs Of Grant county about it.
He said he would do all he could
to see that had fair chance,
but / don't believe they can find
an impartial jury in that county.
l don't care where they try me
and I'm not afraid to 60 to trial
if l think I will have fair
chance" Sweet expects to go
into courtin Grrnt county week

J. N. Hamilton Retiring

1t is with the sincerest regret
that the students learn of Supt.
Hamilton's intention to leave
Meade High School. During the
five years he has been IN Meade
he has built up the most success
full school Meade has ever had.
1t is to Mr.. Hamilton that Meade
High School feels indebted for
her high school paper. for the
cafeteria, and much of her sue
cess in athletics during the past.
We know his valuable assistance
and untiring enthusiasm we're
instrumental factors in securing
for Meade the new school build
ing.
Mr.. Hamilton made the follow
ing statement in reply to the
question of why he was leaving:
"Please ask me an easier ques-
ton. ''It might be EN- barrassing
to answer, you know. However,
it is fact that am not and will
not be an applicant for the posi-
tiOn. This is final. l say it not
because of any known dissatis-
faction. Last year when elected,
ItOld the board that l would not
again be candidate for the po-
sition. My reason for making
that statement was that / believed
it then, and belive 1t now, to be
best for both the school and my
selfif ] could leave at a time when
affairs were moving smoothly.
Ihave spent five years here and
it has been my earnest desire
that 1 might leave when every
thing was in an approximate har
mOny and that my last efforts
might be of a constructive ma
ture.
OF course l regret to leave the
Meade schools. They mean
much. In fact about everything

years since have left college is
bound up in the schools both
present and future. Do not think
that / pose as martyr to the
cause of education either. l have
been paid for my work in Meade
and my earnest hope is that I
have returned value received. In
quitting the work here, am
frank enough to say that do it

myself.

The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1916-08-24

tion in case of a county division made
several years ago, we are advised that
the entire cost of this work in this
county would be at least twenty thou
sand dollars. Add this to the require
ments for increase of taxes already
shown and then, if you like the medi-
cine, reach for the spoon when cleo
ton day comesi
There are dozens of minor items of
anti-division import, not nearly all of
which can even be referred to at this
time. Costly work has been done on
highways which, in case they run
through Bull county and toward Twin
Falls, would undoubtedly go to waste
from inattention after division. All
the south half of the proposed new
county is nearer to Twin Falls city
than to the city of Bull, and the great
er part of the residents therein would
have to go through the former to
reach the latter-in case they were
compelled to unwillingly go there by
reason of its having been made a
county seatl
There should be, and we believe
there is, also sentimental considera-
ton quite worthy to have weight.
Twin Falls county has been a civil and
political entity so long, and with such
proud record, both morally and ma
gard to records in their respective Of
fees. From responsible person who
had charge of the work of transcript
