CBy Mail From Jarbidge

The signs indicate that the murderer
went down the road about a half
mile, just around the point beyond the
residence of Mrs. Dexter and just out
side of the townsite limits; that he
left the road and got behind clump
of brush near the road and must have
run out as the stage passed his place
of hiding and climbed up on the brake
beam and then up on the load and shot
the driver from behind without saying
a word. The murder was committed
a couple of hundred feet from the
house of a man named Swanson, who
says that he heard a shot and cry at
about $50 o'clock but thought moth
ing of it as guns are often fired in
/ the neighbOrhood
When the fatal shot was fired death
must have been very sudden and the
assassin must have caught the body
with one hand and eased it into the
bottom of the wagon while with the
other hand he grabbed the lines.
When the shot went off it evidently
startled the horses enough for them
to swerve a little from the road and
the wheel tracks went out almost four
feet which brought it very near the
edge of the grade, it went along the
edge for about seventy-five feet and
all along this distance there is a solo
stream of blood, which would indi-
cate that Searcy's head was hanging
over the edge of the wagon, at this
point the hold-up had obtained con
troll of the team and directed then
back into the road, while at the same
time he had probably pushed the bod.

The Theatres
YALESKA SURATT MAKES HER
SCREEN REAPPEARANCE

Valeska Suratt makes her screen re-
appearance for two days run at the
Isis theatre on Wednesday and Thurs
day in a new William Fox picture,
"The Straight Way" Instead of hav-
ing one of the siren parts with which
the public has grown to identify the
eminent actress, Miss Suratt this time
portrays a good woman, who has been
thrown off unjustly by her husband.
She seeks revenge on him through
his daughter. When her plot has sue
ceeded. she learns that the girl was
her own child. But the discovery OF
a vital defect in the plot makes every
thing end happily, and the family is
reunited.
In the role of the husband, John
Madison, Herbert Hayes, hero of 'Un-
der Two Flags" appears. The heavy
of the film is Glen White, whose ex-
cellent work is known to millions OF
movie fans. Claire Whitneyand Elsie
Balfour have important roles.
1.-THE Srtight Way" was written and
directed by Will S. Davis. OF course
/ Miss Suratt has opportunity to wear
| innumerable beautiful gowns.
Valeska Suratt's success on the
stage and in the movies is beyond
question. In vaudeville, she is one OF
the largest drawing cards ever book
ed, and 1.-The Soul of Broadway hel
previous William Fox picture, was one
of the largest box office attractions
ever sent out by that firm On thu
legitimate stage, Miss Suratt is fa
nous for her work in 1.-THE Red Rose,
"The Kiss Waltz" and half a dozel
other musical comedies.

was nearly three inches of snow on
the body. The wagon was worked out
of the brush and driven up TO the post
office Near the wagon buried in the
snow was found two of the second
class mail sacks, which had been open
ed and part of the papers and small
packages scattered about the ground.
There were tracks barely visable un-
der the snow leading from the wagon
off into the brush, but they could not
be followed in the night although
some of the men kept at it most Of
the night. There was one large track
which seemed to be accompanied by
dogs track, and in places there
seemed to be a smaller track.
There are only a few large dogs in
the camp and Mr.. Mccormick who is
somewhat of a hunter had a theory
that it would be a good idea to watch
these dogs and he picked out one in
particular which is sort OF tramp
/ dog Mr. Mccormick thought very
! likely that the dog might go back over
the trail he had been down and care
fully examined the dog tracks in the
snow, blowing out the light new snow
and obtaining very good print in
the old snow underneath and from
this he thought he had the right dog
spotted, about ten o'clock this dog
started for the foot bridge with his
nose on the ground as if he was fol-
lowing a trail and Mr. Mccormick and
several others went after him, the
reasoning seemed to be good as the
dog went directly to where the first
class sack lay, covered up with snow
Then they began to figure who the
dog had probably been following and
soon decided on a young man named
Ben Kuhl, to whom the dog had been
quite attached and one who had pre-
ViOusly been in some trouble here
over jumping a lot for which he is
now under bonds on appeal from {
$400 fine This lot is next to the one
on which the pOstOffice stands and wa'
bought few weeks ago by Oscar an'
Ernest Hayes. There was a small
cabin on it which was moved off on
. morning and the lot graded littl
! for a large building, but owing to
= lack of lumber, work on building wa
{ not started the next but a sign wa
put up that a building was to be bull
; as soon as the rest of the lumber ar
rived That night the lot was jumpe
> and tent put on it by Ben Kuhl. H
Il was arrested for trespass and acted a
u his own lawyer. During the trial h
- was fined $50 for contempt of cour
l for remarks that he made to the judg
u about its being Kangaroo Court.

Hughes Points the Way

The speech of the Republican can
didate for President was a keynote
speech, indeed. Not one person in
the great audience at the Carnegie
Hail meeting was in doubt for one
moment as to just what he meant by
everything he said
His address was comprehensive, log
ical, clear and all sufficient for the
occasion. There can be no dispute
as to this. Plainly Mr.. Hughes il q
man who knows what he wants when
ne wants it, and it is tho opinion
OF political authorities who heard him
and who have since read his remarks
that he knows, also. how to get il.
II was incumbent upon the Repub-
hcan candidate to confne the scope
OF his remarks to the limitations of
the occasion, but his crushing analy-
sis OF the shortcomings OF the pres
ent administration of the government
is merely an earnest of what the tone
and the contents OF his speeches will
De when he gets on the stump.
At Carnegie Hall Mr.. Hughes ad
Verted TO every general question that
is apt to be serious issue in the
campaign and In language that will
be absolutely clear to every man or
woman able TO read he stated his
opinions, his convictions and his pur
poses On the stump he will argue
those points in detail. As an orator
he is eloquent, his personality attrac-
tive and his marshallinE OF facts so
cohesive that he holds his audience
to the end. He makes it easy for
them to follow him and his points
are not lost.
There was nothing equivocal, moth
ing apologetic in the Republican can
dldate's speech OF acceptance. He
called spade spade, and the unani.
nous opinion of those who heard him
was that he shot to the center and
rang the bell. The Republican cam.
paign is now open, and those who
will speak and write and work for
the success of the Republican tickle,
can wish for no more adequate cam
paign document, no more satisfactory
statement of issues than are found in
The candidates salutatory.
