THIS QUARANTINE
STILL HOLDS GOOD

II seems the judicial interpreta-
ton of the quarantine laws and the
Interpretation put upon them by the
resolute citizens of Challis people
are in sharp conflict. Judge Cowen
being on one side OF the contention
and the Challis people, who want to
protect their citizens from the epi-
dennis, being on the other. The Judge
called fir the military arm of the
state government to enforce his
commands but the demand was ir-
regular and the governor declined to
act as requested. Thus is the court
overruled and his acts made of no
force or binding effect upon anybody
concerned. The ruling OF the state
authorities Is that a quarantine is
quarantine in spiteDbf any court or
der, when the quarantine is invoked
to save human life.
50 we seem still to be guaranteed
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness by the governor of Idaho
though the courts may say us nay.
1t is pertinent to inquire at this
time Whats the matter with Moses
Alexander" And the answer comes
rolling down the Salmon river val
ley. Hes all right"
A phone message Sunday from
member of the Custer county council
Of defense affords the information
that the Challis quarantine is still
rigidly maintained. The decree of
the local health board is enforced by
strong public sentiment it seems
and an armed force is back of that
public sentiment. A report that an
armed mob was on the road from
Mackay caused the mobilization of
the Challis reserve one day last
week and the defense of Warm
Spring pass, modern Thermopolae,
was decided upon. The Mackayites
decided that discretion was the bet
ter part of valor ard there has not
been case of flu infection or a
death from violence to date.

DEATHOF LEMHI, st
VALLEY STOCKMAN

John Stroud. another pioneer
stockman of the upper Lemhi, has
gone to rest. He died last Friday at
the age of rs years. He has been a
helpless invalid for six years from a
stroke of paralysis.
He was one OF the first settlers in
the great stockgrowing district Of
what has been called the
junction range belt. His home was
six miles north of lseadore where he
built one of the f.-est farm Louses
in the neighborhood. His farm IS one
OF the largest and best Individual
land holdings in the county
Mr.. Stroud had been on ct the
most extensive growers of cattle in
the Salmo= river sector for IS Years.
He held to the old system OF pastur-
/ Ing his stock all the year around.
and never provided more than half
ton OF hay to winter a COW and calf.
His wise choice OF a pasture farm
gave him a decided advantage over
any other stoekman in the county
He was a very fortunate as well as
efficient and he made a fortune with
but little worry and labor He left a
large estate He leaves four sons
two of whom are in the war for de.
nCcracy, one now a hospital patient
and the other in the east.
The flu menace restrained his rel
atives and many friends from attend
ing the last rites of the good old pio
nesr
Mrs. Stroud also survives. She was
Jennie Turman of DuQuoin, Illinois.
