JUSTICE FINDS
RANCHER WAS
Author OF
DEATH THREAT

Following lengthy hearing J. D.
Kirkham, well known rancher of the
Seeley district, was found guilty to-
day in Justice Isaac Mayfeld's court
of a charge of threatened offense,
threatening to kill Clifford Omar, an
other rancher.
He was ordered placed under a
peace bond of $4,000 for the period
of six months. The judge expressed
the belief that the defendants atti-
tude of mind was such that every
protection should be afforded 10 Omar
and 10 Mrs. Kirkman, who is The
crux of the case.
The trouble between The two men
was precipitaed by Kirkman's per
sisient and ardous objections TO the
woman's presence al Omar's house as
cook and housekeeper. Mrs. Kirk
ham, who is mani Years older than
Omar, separated from her husband
several months ago and accepted en-
ployment with Omar when he took
over the ranch formerly farmed by
her husband.
AS sequel TO the hearing of the
charge the parties to the controversy
met in Justice Mayfield's office, and
in the presence Of the court reached a
separation agreement. Kirkham
agred to pay over 10 his wife the
sum of $500 provided she would
leave the South Fern district within
80 days and never again make her
home there.

RATHER HARD ON THE
DEMOCRATS.

About the first of June, 1918, an
Idaho man wrote to the NOnpartisan
headquarters at Boise to ask what
the league was planning to do poll
tically, whether it would fuse with
either of the old parties, or both,
and received quite long letter in
reply, explaining about the proposed
state convention after the other
parties had adopter their platforms,
and that it would probably do as it
had done in North Dakota and Mimi
esota-that Is, step in and take
charge of one of the old parties.
This does not mean FUSION" the
letter continues, but simply means
taking over the party machinery. II
this Is done, the league goes into the
general election with $1,000 or 20,-
900 additional votes-there are al
ways that many in a party that vote
the ticket blindly. As result, the
men who receive the nomination in
that way can count on getting 900
or 10000 Of the blind, ignorant vote
in addition to the Nonpartisan vote,
and that insures their election"
The letter was signed by Miss R.
e. 'Kahl. who has been stenographer
in the Office of w. G. Scholtz for a
long time, and she probably knows
the lingo pretty well. 1t is not very
comforting to loyal Democrats who
want to vote their own ticket, to
know that the folks who stole their
party, or as they say, take it over"
consider anybody blind ignoramus
who will vote the ticket at all after
the theft has been accomplished.
Adding Insult to Injury.

to steal the Democratic party is
bad enough, and to expect the Dem
Dcrats to stand by and furnish votes
