railroad strike. Referring TO Candi.
date Hughes opposition to the eight
hour bill and his insistence that arbi-
tration should have been compelled, Mr..
Murdock's newspaper says in part:
"But Mr.. Hughes, like the republican
newspapers failed to point out how this
could have been done. The railroad
men took the position that the eight.
hour day was not arbitrable. They re-
fused flatly to arbitrate. Under the
circumstances, then, unless the eight
hour day was granted strike would
have been inevitable. Would Mr..
Hughes have preferred strike with it's
inevitable burnings and disorder, its
bloodshed and prostration of industry,
it's stirring of class hatred and suffer
ing of millions of people, to the settle
ment that Mr.. Wilson effecteda For
the strike Of 1894 gives faint idea
of what might have been expected in
1916 if the president, following Mr..
Cleveland precedent, had attempted
to settle it by force.

doubtedy feel that Mr.. Wilson was

Former Idaho County Man Mashed Up.
In a Runaway

w. l.. Costley returned the first Of
the week from Ilo where he was called
on account of the serious condition Of
his brother, Lewis M. Costley, who was
recently injured in runaway acci.
dent He states while his condition is
precarious, he feels the brother will
pull through. The victim of the ac-
cident up until ten years ago lived in

here who will learn with regret of the

llo paper has the following to say:
l.. M. Costley was badly injured in o
runaway accident yesterday (Wednes-
day. afternoon. He is now lying in the
lilo hospital with left femur fractured
at the hip and he is also severly bruised
about the body. His left hip was dis
located.
MIR. Costley, who resides on his ranch
5 miles southwest of here, was COM
ing to town for the purpose of securing
a wagon grain box, and was seated on
the running gear of a wagon. AS he
was coming down the hill opposite the
Io school house, his horses started to
run and he was unable to hold them.
The kingbolt came out, causing the
vehicle to separate. Mr.. Costley fell
with much force to the ground and was
dragged some distance before he re.
leased his clutch on the reins.
He was found shortly after the acci.
dent by Claude Patton, who was COM
ing to town in hack and was but a
short distance on the road behind Mr..
Costley. Mr.. Patton brought the in
jured man to DR.. Dunlap's office where
the doctor attended to the injuries and
later Mr.. Costley was removed on O
cot to the hospital.

night launched what the war Office
described as a powerful. close for

The assaults broke down under

also repulsed.
The German attack was delivered
with more violence than were the
blows last Friday that marked the
resumption OF the crown princes
drive on Verdun. Guns of all cal.

aiding no. only the Dead Mans hill
but Hill 304, and even extending
