In a wrangle over what was said
to be a game of cards, at the resi-
dence of Shanks Brookins, in the
colored town of Hayti, adjoining
Hartford, late Monday evening,
Mitchell Taylor shot and fatally
wounded Peyton Sullenger and also
wounded Alb. Lawrence-all colored.
Sullenger lived about three hours at
ter being shot. He received four
bullets, which lodged in the upper
part of his body. Lawrence was not
fatally shot and it is said that
his wound was an accident, as the
bullet was not intended for him.
Taylor, the man who did the shoot
ing, started to town to give himself
up and was met by the Sheriff. to
whom he surrendered. He claims
he shot in self-defense.
The case of Taylor had not yet
come up in court late yesterday ev-
ening, and consequently his bond
had not been fixed, nor had it been
decided whether or not he would
waive examining trial

PASS The APPLES.

When every pool in Eden was mir
ror,
That unto Eve her dainty charms
proclaimed
She went undraped without a single
fear or
Thought that she had need to be
ashamed.
Twas only when she'd eaten of the
apple
That she became inclined to be a
prude,
And found that evermore she'd have
to giapple
With the much debated problem of
the nude.
Thereafter she devoted her attention,
Her time and all her money to her
clothes.
And that was the beginning of Con-
ventlon,
And modesty, as well, l suppose.
Reactions come about in fashions, re-
cent.
Now girls conceal so little from the
men,
1t would seem, In the name of all
that's decent,
Some one ought to pass the apples
round again.

The applause that greeted the men

preted. The applause was more in
the nature of welcome back to the

Mr.. Roosevelt as the presidential nom
inee of the party.
The vote on the Peterson motion in
structing the delegates to the national
convention to lend their support only
to candidate who are republicans is
subject to misinterpretation too. This
vote indicated that the convention
deemed it unnecessary to give the de-
legation any such instructions. The
vote did not indicate that support of
Colonel Roosevelt or any other man
without the party would meet with the
approval of the delegates.
The delegates to the Twin Falls con-
vention were in favor of Mr. Hughes
for the nomination. At least four of
the delegates are known to be for Mr..
Hughes and the other four are not OPP
posed to him. The delegation was left
free Of all instructions in order that 1t
might support Mr.. Hughes, Mr.. Root,
Mr.. Borah or any other republican
whom the entire national convention
might deem available at this time.

CANDIDACY OF MR.. FRENCH.
(Gem State Banner, Lewiston)

(Gem State Banner, Lewiston)
Burton L. French, former congress
man, after an absence of two years
returns to Idaho and wants the repub-
he threw up" in a vain effort to Sc
cure a seat in the United States senate.
1t won't work. Idaho, especially the
northern part, has done much for Mr..
French. The press has been loyal to
him, but he can't expect the newspap-
ers of the north to rally to his support
in the coming campaign if he fully de-
cides to enter the primary contest. The
republican party in Idaho owes Mr..
French nothing. The press owes him
nothing, and just where he expects to
get his support is hard to figure out
Time was when northern Idaho was
represented in the high councils en-
powered to enact laws at the seat of
our national government, but now it
hasn't voice in either branch of con-
gress. The late Weldon B. Hepburn
was power in the senate, being re-
cognized as the big man from Idaho
big in stature, with intellect to match.
Heyburns place (and this must not be
taken as any reflection on our junior
senator, Mr.. Brady should have been
filled by north Idaho man, and had
French kept out of the race Judge
Ailshie could have been elected and
French would be our congressman to-
day. Now he has decided to regain
what he deliberately threw away,
which may mean not only defeat for
himself but the defeat of E. e. Elliott,
and the denomination of the present
incumbent, r. M. MeCraken, a south
Idaho man. And this is the treat
ment accorded the north at the hands
Of Burton L. French who is under so
many obligations to the people of the
commonwealth.
