FOUND WITH
THROAT CUT
ON SALMON
Jack Howard, Mining Man,
Took Own Life at the
Casper Ranch.

Because he didn't want to go to war,
Jack Howard, aged about SO years, a
new registrant for the army draft, kill
ed himself by slashing his throat with
a razor, at the Caspar ranch, four miles
below the mouth of French creek, on
the Salmon eiver.
Howard was in Grangeville little more
than two weeks ago to fill out his
QUESTIONABLE, and at that time voiced
no objection to entering the army.
When he returned to the mountains,
according to John Fox, who returned
to Grangeville today from the mining
country, Howard declared that he did
not want to go across the water to fight.
He said that he had bought Liberty
bonds, and was willing to do all with
in his power on this side of the Atlantic
to further Americas cause in the war,
but he would not enter the army and go
to France.
Howard asked for gun, according
to Mr.. Fox, but his request was re-
fused. He disappeared, and later his
body was found, cold in death, at the
Casper ranch, with razor by his side.
Howard was a mining man, and had
worked in the Ten Mile and other min
ing districts of Idaho county. The day
when he killed himself is not known
here.

AILsHIE MAKES STATEMENT.

Judge James H. AilShie was In town
the last of the week looking after the
improvements he Is making on his
farm east of town and attending to
business generally. While here he
stated to the Globe man that he want
ed to express to the people of Idaho
county his appreciation of the splen-
did support and vote they gave him in
the recent primary election.
Among other things the judge said ::
1T was most gratifying to receive such
splendid vote as l did from north
Idaho. l carried north Idaho by a
vote of over two to one and in two
northern counties my vote was nearly
five to one. l carried the Payette
country and made standoff in Boise
The strong majorities against me came
from the counties in the southeast
part of the state'
When asked regarding the state
ment which has been frequently heard
here as to the use of lot Of money
in the campaign by his opponent the
judge smiled and said: "That is like
asking If King David had more than
one wife" AS all Idaho county people
know Judge Ailshie is no "piker'' and
he is too live and energetic to ever
have any time to grieve over "spilt
milk" he takes the result of the elec-
tion with that same pleasant smile
which always characterizes him In
everything else.
'There are many pleasant things
about campaign whether you win OF
lose" said the Judge; "I always get my
moneys worth. / think 1t is worth {
lot to any man to travel over the STATE
and meet the people and learn of con.
ditions, needs and wants of the people
and their state of mind. 1t gives q
man broader outlook and enables
him to see lot of things from the
other fellows viewpoint"

old, also a railroader, and has no
relatives here. Both men have been
in the district hat Il short time, and

bunk house, Wrights being directly
across the hall from Reidys 1t is
further stated that Reidy and several
companions had been drinking, and

pelting him with bottles Wright
says that after he had stood the fus.
silade for awhile, he. suddenly saw
red, or words to that effect. and
seizing a .3S-calibre revolver that
was handy. shot at random across
the hall. The bullet went through
the door, and caught Reidy, who APP
parently was behind the door, just
above the heart, with quickly fatal
results.
After the shooting, Wright took
things cooily, and with the arrival
of Deputy Sheriff Morris Roberts
/ quickly submitted to arrest He was
taken to Ely and placed In the coun-
ty Jail.
Within a short time after the fa-
tality occurred, Wright sought to
gain his liberty. An application foi
a writ of habeas corpus was the mo-
tive which prompted the accused &c
obtain a release from behind jai
bars
In his application Wright claimed
| that he is being illegally imprisoned
! and restrained of his liberty. Things
will be moving swiftly for the de-
fendant tomorrow. The accused Is
scheduled to face a preliminary ex-
animation in the morning, while his
/ application for a writ of habeas cor
pus will occupy the attention of the
district court In the afternoon.
