SOME POEMS Of THE WEST

All poetry is interesting, whether
it be about some ancient mariner,
who never lived at all, or a Tam
O'Shanter, who has had many incar-
nations since man made drink Of the
vine. But when the poetry is writ
ten in our Own community, by a
| neighbor. and deals especially in
characters about us and in our share
of the little round earth, it is always
doubly entertaining.
Mrs, Agnes Just-Reid, of Presto,
verse entitled, The Range Cayuse,"
is indeed a lover Of the wild and
woolly west of other days, and she
paints it's scenes with vigorous af-
lection. One thing is certain, this
west that ever we know will never
be written in soft-tipped phrases or
the tender lay such as we used to
have to memorize in school. Our
poets of the west have been out
spoken and strong. ..
This little volume of some Is
poems breathes of sage brush and
lonely camps. All thru it runs an
impatient complaint of civilization
with it's restraint and its tameness.
But poets are always in the minority
or things would be different in the
world. Mrs. Reid's verses are poet1-
raj, written in very simple style, and
make good reading. In a few places
the author strikes a note of appeal
to Nature that is worth remembering.
The first piece, from which the
volume is named, is not so good as
some of the others. The second poem,
my Solitude" is perhaps the most
poetic and the most expressive or
western character. In his loneliness
the true westerner has learned to
love his self-dependence. This poem
expresses his call for the open
country:
81 want to ride out in the morning
While the dew is on the grass,
And spend the day with Nature,
Away from the cares that harass,
Up where the air is sweetest;
I'D where the pine trees grow;
Up where there's rest and plenty
And the birds sing soft and low"
There is something in this that
we all understand who have lived in
the high mountain land and breathed
it's clear air. And it is good to lose
touch if only for a day with the dull
ness of close population. AS the
author puts it in Rancho Winters:"
: There's time for thought and time
for God
In our good old, great old west"
Mrs. Reid's book should be in the
homes of w%esterners. 1t Is written
for them and they will appreciate 1t
most, There are times when most
any Of us will find our mood express
ed in the first two lines of Tired
81 am tired of civilization
With all its frills and it's fuss"
The volume is artistically bound
in heavy rough paper and is on sale
at T. A. Hayes Gift shop, at a nom
inal price.

news OF INTEREST
FROM OVER The STATE

o. E. Kirkpatrick, a mining man
of Salmon, Idaho, accidently shot
himself in the thigh with a shot gun
while out hunting Saturday morning.
He was crawling thru a fence when
the gun discharged its load of shot
into the heshy part of his thigh.
After dragging himself half a mile
to his lonely cabin, the wounded man
called help by telephone. No bone
was fractured, but he is chiefly in
danger thru loss of blood, which was
excessive before he even received
first aid.
The Buck Horn mining claims at
Golden, Idaho, were disposed of re-

The sheriff and deputies at Poca-
tello are having a deal of trouble
with false alarms. Last week they
received telephone messages from
points south saying that a large
covered a had come up out of Utah
laden with a cargo of booze, under
the title of a load of tomatoes. The
sheriffs went down to meet the car
and found nothing but tomatoes.
They decided that to residents in
southern Idaho everything that comes
up from Utah under cover smells
like bootleg, and the situation will
shortly resolve itself into the old
story of the boy who cried wolf when
there was no wolf.
Idaho Falls is headquarters for the
hog cholera control movement, and
also the center of some excitement
over infantile paralysis because OF
two reported cases traced to the city.
One was of a ma who showed up
in Salt Lake City suffering from the
dreaded disease and claiming to have
come from Idaho Falls, and the other
is that of an infant said to have
died of the plague. The state board
of health has ordered an inspector
to look into the rumors and see II
there is any cause for alarm.
The two men who were captured
at Island park on suspicion of evil
intentions, who had guns and ropes

nap Mrs. e. H. Herriman's son, who
is at the railroad ranch, and ask
100000 ransom. They are being

YOUNG MAN KILLED
IN QUARREL OVER ROAD
Vivian Hovcy Shot by Stonewall Bel
langee on the Salmon River
and Escapes to Hills

A posse is out searching for the
slayer of Vivian Hovey, a young nan
of 22 years. a ranchey on the Salmon
river. Stonewall Bellangee disputed
Hovey's right to pass a certain gate
on what had formerly been a road
way, and after a short alteration
shot him with a rifle, killing him in
staptly. The bullet passed thru the
right eye. Members of Bellangee's
family, who were witnesses of the
shooting, declare that Hovey was
drawing out his own rife and that
Bellangee told him three times not
to take it out, then shot him.
n. II, Burbridge, on the stand,
stated that the gate Hovey wanted to
drive his cattle thru was part of a
fence put up by the Bellangees across
what was considered a public thoro-
fare, along which cattlemen had been
long accustomed to drive cattle.
Vivian Hoyev and his little brother,
Cecil, had gone out to drive some
cattle for their father to the upper
reaches of Sage creek, for which
range a permit had been secured. In
their path lay the claim of Bellangee,
and the owner stood at his gate
denying entrance, Cecil anne first
and when Bellangee told him he
couldn't take cattle thru there, went
back to summon his brother. He
then remained watching the cattle
while Vivian talked with Bellangee,
and was not able to hear what words
passed between the two prior to the
fatal shot. A coroner's jury justi-
fies a charge of murder or man
slaughter against the gun man.
Lemhi county has offered a $500
reward for the capture of Stonewall
Bellangee dead or alive, and the state
may add to the sum. Sheriff Stroud
Is out with a posse looking for the
murderer. who is said to be a dead
shot and one who is unlikely to let
himself be taken without a fight.
Killings have been common in that
region, according to the Salmon
Herald, and as the desperadoes have
not been severely death with, the
citizens are very earnestly aroused
over this affair. Lynching has been
twice avoided in the past, and is
considered threatening in this in
stance, if Bellangee is taken.

IDAHO FALLS SOLONS CAN'T
AGREE ON NEW PAVING

A deadlock in the city council OF
Idaho Falls at their meeting last
week prevented them from deciding
upon what kind of pavement they
will take for Improvement District
No. Six, on the east side of town.
The division was four and four, tight,
permanent and angry. The prejudices
of members for one kind and against
the other wedged them fast so that
the deadlock could not be broken
even by repeated vote taking.
A number of leading citizens of
Idaho Falls attended the meeting and
spoke in favor of bithulithic paving,
but they seemed to have no effect.
On this kind of paving J. c. Mcclure
presented the lowest bid.

NEGROES SELECT
 OWN DELEGATES
Denied Admission to Republican Con
 vention They Hold Convention
 of Their Own

When they were refused seats in the regular county republican convention yes terday. the negro delegates from Beats g, 2l and 37 withdrew from the hall and held meeting later in the Alabama Pen- ny Savings Bank building
 The delegations of negroes which sought sought seats in the regular convention were headed by Dr. U. G. Mason, J. O. Diffay and T. s. Samson. Dr. U. G. Mason was elected chairman of the bolt ers' meeting and Herbert H. Glover sec retary. Delegates were elected to the dis trict and state conventions and a county executive committee was chosen, with w. l.. Saunders as chairman and Her. bert H. Glover as secretary. At the meet ing of the negroes there were many speeches condemning the action of the lily whites in refusing seats to their delegates. The action of the regular con- vention was characterized as unrepublican and un-American and it was announced that the fight was to be carried to the hn1sh Resolutions setting forth this fact were adopted by the meeting
 It IS considered certain that the dele gates chosen by the .'bolters'' will be denied admission to the district and the state conventions as they were to the county meeting yesterday. That the con tests will be carried to Chicago is con. sldered certain. It is expected that the natlonal republican convention will be more or less embarrassed by the fight since refusal to seat any of the negro delegations might seriously affect the re- publican chances of securing the solid negro vote in the close states of the north.

This Story Ends Happily

This is the story of man and wife who left their elegant home in southern state and went on ong journey in touring car. They passed along NOR- WOOD BOULEVARD as they sped their way to the west and north. Visiting many cities, they saw what each had to show in residential attractiyeness and thus imprinted upon their memories succession Of beautiful pictures And when they returned home one of the many glowed in their minds as the eyenin
