Gases which recently have arisen III
the courts of Idaho county, together
with the killing on Monday of Charles
White. in the mountains, must be at
tributed to the hasty and perhaps IT.
rational resort, on the part of one or
the other of the parties involved in the
several cases, to the use of firearms as a
ouiek and no doubt, in the belief of the
persons employing the guns, effectual
means of settling their troubles with
others.
Within little more than a year, Idaho
county has been the scene of at least
five shooting ARRAYS, two of which have
resulted fatally, and only by the mer-
est circumstance was death averted in
the others.
Henry Soards was shot dead in his
cabin at Whitebird.
John w. Bates, less than week ago,
started for the state penitentiary to
serve a term of Imprisonment for shoot
ing and seriously wounding Jack Hamil-
tom at a sheep camp near Dixie.
Clark McGaffee two weeks ago was
acquitted by jury in the district court,
following trial on-a charge of assault
with deadly weapon, with intent to
commit murder. McGaffee did not deny
the shooting, but asserted he did not
contemplate murder.
Mrs. Newt. Otto is held to the district
court for shooting Miss Vesta Nepean.
She insists the shooting was accidental.
And lastly, Charles White was on
Monday of this week shot dead on
Wind river.
FIVE SHOOTINGS IN IDAHO
COUNTY AND TWO KILLINGS, in
slightly more than a year. That is the
record and Idaho county people CAN
NOT BE PROUD OF THE RECORD.
Idaho county's soil during the last year
has been stained by the blood from her
murdered dead, and years will not
erase the crimson stains that be-
smirch her face. Idaho county must
answer to her sister counties for her
recent record of crime, if in no other
manner than in the eyes of public
opinion.
Anger and guns are a dangerous COM
bination. They do not get on well to-
gether, and in most instances the out
come is extremely regrettable.
Practice of carrying firearms has ex-
isted in Idaho county without Interrupt :

Merchants and Miners Transports
tion Company running into Jackson
vile after March 1, and unless some
form of agreement is reached by the
steamship people and the United
States railroad administration. jack
sonville will lose this company
Apparently the only way out Of the
situation is for the railroad admins
tration to relinquish all rail and
steamship lines that were taken over
during the war.
The claim Is made that It would
be unfair to force one company to
take back its property, unless ell are
placed in the same position.
President Jenkins is understood Ia
have said that so long as the rail-
roads continue under single control
the diversion Of business away from
the steamship lines is Inevitable.
It is inconceivably that Jackson.

as 1t is and lose the Merchants and
as the case will be unless
something is quickly done.

SHIPS HIS HOUSEHOLD
GOODS IN COFFIN CASES


Orlando, Feb. 17.--Coffln cases are
primarily designed to ship coffins In
Here's variation to the rule, the
story concerning one L. T. Hunt
formerly Of Orlando, later OF oviedo
and later Of st. Cloud.
Mr.. Hunt went into the undertaking
business at Oviedo, but the town was
too healthy for business, and he NOV
ed to st. Cloud. 1t appears he had a
lot OF the paraphernalia OF his trade
to transfer to his new home, includ'
ing coffin cases. Also lot Of house
hold goods.
What should be more natural than
that he should pack the household
goods in the coffin cases? This morn.
ing Captain Branham hauled the cas-.
es in on the Oviedo special to be
transferred here to the Atlantic Coast
Line. The train crew removed the
supposed corpses with great care and
that respectful deliberation due to the
dead.
But one Of them all but fell In At
when a tin pan in one of the cases
slipped and made an ominous rattle.
1t is reliably stated that the fellow
was about to leave the scene with
such acceleration as he could com
mand, until somebody discovered a
label on the case top indicating that
the contents were household goods
Inquiring visitors to the station
amazed to see four coffin cases ranged
in tiers, investigated the labels to see
who had died and what was the cause
of the fourfold tragedy For the most
part they climbed down from the
trucks in abject disgust.
What will happen when the omi-
nous shaped cases reach st. Cloud
viii probably furnish further addenda
to this exciting narrative.
