MEXICAN UPRISING
CREATES A fUR0RE
Battle In The Eureka House Causes
Crowd To COngregate While Woman
Screams Wildly.

Piercing shrieks IN woman's voice
brought a large crowd to the Eureka
rooming house late Tuesday afternoon
to witness the termination of battle
between the proprietor, Domingo
Savalez, and a Mexican roomer named
Jose Andrika, over a board bill, in
which the roomer had a gun and the
best of the encounter. Fire Chief Fred
A. Carlson interfered and disarmed
Andrika who seemed to be out for
gore. In the meantime the story had
spread over town, where it finally al
most reached the dimensions of a ru-
NOR of a Villa raid, and a large crowd,
some on foot and others in autos, came
flying to the scene of supposed car
mage.
The rumpus started over an effort
by Savalez to retain a watch owned
by Andrika for a board bill. The
roomer demurred and when the pro-
prietor insisted, drew a thirty-two au-
tomato. Savalez grabbed his hand and
they clinched and fell in the upstairs
hallway, with the roomer on top. The
other Mexican roomers fled down
stairs. Mrs. Savalez ran out on the
corner in front of the house and began
to scream at the top OF her voice. Fire
Chief Carlson rushed over as a crowd
gathered and as the alarmed woman
pointed to the upper story and called
for the police, he rushed up to find the
men struggling. The gun was pointed
in Carlson's direction, but he made a
rush and grabbed the hands of the
struggling senors, at which they both
released their holds, and got up.
AS Carlson came down, l. A. Kelsey
Of the fire department saw the gun,
and thinking something serious might
have happened, telephoned hurriedly
to the office of City Clerk r. M. Will
liams Williams rushed into the Per-
rine solo room where Chief w. ]. Tay-
lor was standing and told him that
there was a shooting at the fire sta
ton. A cloud of humanity mounted
and on foot flew to the scene mo-
ment later, all the autos in the neigh
borhood being pressed into service to
carry the crowd.

TAXLESS STATE
IS IMPOSSIBLE
Boise Citizen Says D. ". Davis
Plan Is Absurd
LANDS NOT OWNED BY STATE
BUT HELD IN TRUST.
Donations Made to Maintain Public
Institutions Plan Declared Bad If
Practicable.

BOISE-D. w. Davis, Republican
nominee for governor. is making his
campaign upon a "taxless" state says
Boise man. This he says he will
do through the rapid sale of all state
lands and the Investment at compound
interest of the money received there
from, which he figures out in the
course of 40 or so years will produce a
fund, the interest from which will be
sufficient to pay all expenses of state,
county, municipal and other local gov
ernment without the necessity of levy
ing any tax of any nature. AS a
matter of fact, Idaho does not own
one acre of land and it therefore has
no land to sell. The land which is
commonly called state lands, which
are the lands which Candidate Davis
proposes to sell, are ,lot the lands Of
the state but they belong to the gov
ernment, given to the state to hold in
trust for the use and benefit of speci-
fically named institutions for the edu-
cation of the children of the state and
for the care of it's unfortunate.
Sections sixteen and thirty-siX in
every township of the. state are grant
ed to the state for the support of the
common schools; fifty sections of land
are granted for the purpose of erect
ing public buildings at the capital
seventy-two sections are given for the
university; 100000 acres are given for
tile establishment and maintenance OF
the scientific school; 100000 acres for
the state normal schools; $4,000 acres
for the support and maintenance OF
the insane asylum at Blackfoot; 10000
acres for the agricultural colleges So
600 acres for the maintenance of the
penitentiary; $4,000 additional acres
for the support and maintenance OF
the university, and 10000 acres "foI

POCatellO GCt-ACquainted Party
Welcomed By Twin Falls
SMOKER AND RECEPTION TEN
DERED CITY'S GUESTS.
One Hundred and Seventy POcatell,
Boosters Pleased With Reception
Received on Tract.

Lead by their city band, the Poca-
tello Get-Acquainted excursion, 10
strong, arrived in Twin Falls last
evening at 5:45, and taking possession
of the city, the members of the party
made themselves at home in a way
that greatly simplified matters for the
reception committee, awaiting to well
come the special from the Gate City.
AS the excursion termed itself, it prov
ed to be ''a perfectly happy party"
and though a long sightseeing day
had been passed the members of the
party were anything but tired out.
Arrangements had been made for
the entertainment of the city's guests
by the Commercial and the Twentieth
Century clubs, and after dinner the
gentlemen of the party repaired to the
Commercial club rooms where a
smoker was held and time was spent
in mutually becoming acquainted. An
informal reception was also held for
the twenty-five women of the party in
the parlors of the Perrine hotel, by
the Twentieth Century club.
The POcatello band was much in
evidence and their selections were
greatly appreciated by everyone, and
evidenced a most excellent organiza-
ton.
Secretary Mcmillan of the CONNER
cial club, introduced Mayor Sweeley
who extended the hearty welcome OF
Twin Fails to the party which repre-
sented the Gate City. Responses tC
Mr.. Sweeleys welcome were given by
p. c. O'Malley, ~ S. Pond, F. r. Bur-
rus and Chas G. Sumner, who spoke OF
the purpose of their trip and the de-
sire to cement the interests and
friendship of the several communities
in this part of the state in order that
southern Idaho might develop to its
fullest extent. Cooperation of the
towns of southern Idaho was the de-
sired goal and each speaker expressed
the hope that the Magic City and the
Gate City might work hand-in-hand in
order that the hopes and aspirations
of all true Idahoans might be realized
AS a reply, Secretary Mcmillan, of the
4 Commercial club, said Twin Falls wa:
always willing to do her share toward
furthering the interests of southern
Idaho and said that the club would
take into consideration a similar get

CHARLES KRUGER IS
ARRESTED FOR FRAUD
Well known Contractor Charged With
Disappointing Facts In Written
Instrument.

Charles Kruger, a we'll known con-
tractor and former resident OF this
city, was arrested Monday in Pasa-
dena, Calf, at his home on the
charge of obtaining the signature of
another, tO-wit: the United States FL
deity and Guarantee company, to an
instrument in writing whereby liza
bility was created, by means of frau
dulent representations. V. H. Ormsby
was sent as deputy sheriff to bring
him here for arraignment carrying
with him the usual extradition papers.
1t is reported that Mr.. Kruger will
fight extradition.
The complainant alleges that it was
induced to act as his surety for the
construction of the Johnson building
in this city, by a written statement of
Mr.. Kruger to the effect that he then
owned a quarter section of land in
Montana worth S4S00, when, as a mat
ter of fact, it is alleged, he did not
own any land in Montana at the time.
The complainant further says that
Kruger defaulted on the contract be-
fore it was finished and that said
complainant was compelled to finish
the work at loss of $2500.
Mr.. Kruger was one OF the early
settlers of Twin Falls and helped
build the old city. At one time he
had contracts for the erection of
twenty-seven cottages. He was con-
sidered a reliable contractor and
workman at that time. He left here
several years ago for California, but
returned, it is said, at the suggestion
of a local firm, to bid on the Johnson
building, last spring.

BAND BOYS REORGANIzf
FOR THE COMING YEAR
ing to Make Organization Better
Than Ever.

If the enthusiastic plans of the
members of the municipal band mater
ialize the organization next summer
will be better than ever. A business
meeting was held Monday evening and
the following were chosen officers for
the coming year: Clyde Thompson,
president; Orin Fuller, vice president: ::
j. T. cambridge, secretary-treasurer
and director; and W. r. Priebe, bust
ness manager.
Numerous plans were discussed
leading to the betterment of the or
ganization and it was decided to re-
lease the Eagles hall for the coming
year in order that the men might have
some definite place in which to con-
duct their practices. The band will
have at least two practices each week
during the winter and instead of stag
ing a benefit performance this fall
monthly concerts will be given at a
very reasonable price to defray run
ming expenses. The band still owes
the city one more concert and this will
be given in the near future, perhaps
in the high school auditorium.
The band has experienced consid.
cradle difficulty in maintaining a full
register during the past season on ac.
count of the departure OF the militia
boys, many of whom were members OF
the band. However, no more difficulty
Of like nature is seen and as new
members are being added to the roll
the members expect to have an excel
/ lent organization perfected.

Washington, July 19.-Although it is
declared President Wilson will continue
vigorous efforts to modify the British
blockade, government officials have
practically lost hope of accomplishing
their purpose soon.
With adverse action by the British
government on the presidents s repre-.
sentations for Red Cross shipments in

with England's announcement Of n
blacklist on certain American firms. il
was stated authoritatively today that
little hope is held for a satisfactory

Further appeals are pending for Polish

be made against the blacklist. But q

''These people (the allies) are in dead
