John l.. Hartman, who two weeks ago
was discharged as deputy sheriff by
Sheriff Eller, has written to the Free
Press an open letter, in which he sets
forth his grievances toward the sheriff.
The. letter follows:
Mr.. Harriman's Letter
To the Editor
Since my discharge from the sheriff S
office a couple of weeks ago l have
been continuously bombarded with
in contact, for the reasons underly
ing the action of Sheriff Eller, and in
order to set at rest the minds of my
numerous friends and well-wishers and
the taxpayers generally, I have de
cded to crush into print" with the
following statement and air the mat
ter through the county seat press
"In an article in a recent issue of
the Free Press it was stated that a
change of deputies had taken place in
the sheriff S office and that had been
discharged, which is true.
"Had Mr. Eller stated to me that he
would have to dispense with my ser
vices as deputy sheriff for the reason
that he needed only one deputy, it
would have been perfectly satisfactory
and I should have gracefully stepped
down and out. But instead of doing
this, he appointed another man to take
my place.
Says Need Only One Deputy
~ have contended for the last ten
years that the sheriff and one regular
deputy can conduct the business of
the sheriff 8 office with but very little
extra help.
81 am not an office seeker, nor did
! ask Mr.. Eller for the deputyship.
On the other hand, he rendered me the
position and I accepted, knowing then
as ! know now, that it was an i'm
position on the taxpayers of idaho
county, but feeling that, having been
resident of the county for the past
forty years I might as well take the
money (for nothing as the other fell
low
''Twenty years ago I did the out
side work of the sheriff IS office, when
we had neither telephones, railroads
nor automobiles in Idaho county, and
can do it now. At that time there
were more people in the mountainous
districts of the county than there are
at the present time, and all trips were
made by horse.
"Mr. Eller has made the statement
that I resigned, but such is not the
ease; I was discharged. Why2 Here
is one of the chief reasons:
at did not take any interest in the
business connected with the sheriff s
Office
Work Matter Of Record
''I wish to say that my work during
the nine months which / served as
deputy sheriff of Idaho county, is n
matter of record and can be seen at
any time by anyone who desires to look
into the matter. In discussing the
matter with one of the members of
the board of county commissioners, I
made the statement that 7 hoped they
would carefully examine all my vouch-
ers, which according to law, must be
clear in every particular.
"In conclusion, wish to state that
mt the time Mr.. Eller notified me that
was no longer wanted in the sheriff s
office. remarked that would continue
to fight against extravaganza in that
office, regardless of whom it might af-
feet.

PAGEANT OF AMERICAN
HISTORY BY HERODOTUS
CLUB A GREAT SUCCESS

The Pageant of American History
presented by the llcrodotus Club al
Convention Hall Friday evening was
a decided success. The pageant was 4
wonderful undertaking for u high school
club, as 1t required more than "a hun.
drcd characters and covered IA period
Of more than 800 years. Tho theory
that history repeats itself" was demon
strated in the similarity OF the spirit
of '76' and the spirit oof the American
soldier just returned from France.
The pageant opened with the coming
Of the Pilgrim and took the Pilgrims
through the pangs of the first winter,
The next episode gave the period of
colonization in Virginia, showing first
the conditions us they were when the
/ men first came over, and, second, the
! influence of the women upon their ar.
| rival. The third episode was taken
from Longfelow's well.loved, The
| Courtship OF Miles Standish, with u
scene in the cabin of Miles Standish
and another in the home of Priscilla
Mullins, where John Alden made his
never .to-beforgotten plea for the
gruff old captain of Plymouth. The
fourth episode took the colonists up 10
the days when they builded for them
selves Il nation, the days of the revolu
tionary war.
\ colonial garden party after waI
was Il very pretty affair. the guests of
honor being President George Wash
ing and the Presidentess." as an.
nounced by Pomey the colored butler.
Episode five, Gettysburg, the night
of July 3, 1868, was II very effective
scene. On one side, under the flag
OF the Confederacy, law the soldier in
gray on the other, beneath the flag of
theCnion, lay the soldiers in blue.
While the mistress of the pageant read
The Blue and the dead fitted and
scattered flowers over the heroic dead.
At the end of the recitation, two of the
spirits raised the flags, which disclosed,
hidden beind its folds, the form of
President Lincoln, whereupon, Lin
coins Address AT Gcttsburg was very
dramatilly rendered by the Mistress of
the pageant.
The pageant closed with the episode,
The Spirit of 1919" in which gar
den party was given. The features OF
the party are in story told by the sol
dier just returned from France, the
ukelelc selection, and a pageant, The
Meeting of the Nations. The nations
Columbia, Belgium, France, England,
Italy, poor misguided RuSsia-and
The Greatest Mother in the World
The Red Cross, were represented by |
girls dressed in appropriat costumes.
Miss Iona Belle Lynn, who acted as
mistress of the pageant. is worthy of
special mention, us her role was Il very |
difficult one, and she fitted the part |
exactly.
The Herodotus club is certainly to be
Complimented upon the talent it dis
played in staging the pageant. and the .
High School should be proud to possess
pupils who have Il real appreciation of
history.
The clubs membership comprises
the history class, of which Bert Her
man is teacher and under whose di-
rection the play was given.

sage, that he did not do so until al
ter he filled his Chautauqua dates.
In his circular letter he does not
tell the people who wrote the amend
