How Hart Hustled

How Hart Hustled
John was a likable fellow, anG
worked for the Wood Livestock com
pany for long time. 1t is a good
organization, and it prospered with
his help. He prospered too, and is
said to be one of the important fac.
tors of the company. He is mem
Der of the Mormon church, is the
president of the Rigby stake, and
the federal trade commission has
been told under oath that the wit
ness had heard that he was on the
payroll of the Utah-Idaho Sugar
company, drawing a good salary per,
for services.
Incidentally, Mr.. Hart is in the
banking business, being the chief
squeeze (no disrespect intended) of
the First National bank of Rigby.
He has good home in Rigby, rather
beautiful and showing good taste,
and he has gathered title to some
good farms close to town on the
west. During the war he was drafted
to serve on the district draft board,
and served until somebody attacked
him and got him fired off. Later
on he was indicated to the extent
of being told by the war department
that the record had been examined
and that he had done no wrong.
Service men made or tried to make
a fight against Hart to clip his po-
litical wings, but they failed. This
paper tried to find out why they
failed but nobody would say anything
excepting Harris political enemies.
Hart has been made national COM
mitteeman and will have much power
in Idaho in the event of Republi-
can national victory. When we ask
ed the state republican central COM
mittee for information as to Harris
seeming vindication, they maintained
great silence.
Republicans Are Silent
1t has been published that the
government records show by the
minutes that Hart voted yes on ex-
empting his own sons from military
service, and that hart denied the
correctness of the minutes, notwith-
standing they had been read, ap-
proved and signed in Harris presence.
That makes it look tough for Hart,
and the Republican state central
committee still sits silent.
Harris Explanation
l went to Rigby and asked Hart
about that matter, and he said it was
not the minutes at all that showed
him voting on the case. 1t was the

endorsement blanks on the back o
each separate QUESTIONABLE. Their
was stack of questionaires a foo
high, and there was a section to b.
acted upon by the local board. Thel
they were passed up to the distric
board with a section of the same
sheets for them to act on, and they
had nothing to do with the part al.
ready filled in by the local board
While they were working on the
| stack, Hart came to those of his
own sons and just passed them on to
other members saying that he was a
relative and was disqualified to act
on them. The local board had
placed his sons in class 4 and he
could not modify it if he wanted to,
and he did not wish to. When the
whole stack was done, the secretary
entered line on the back of each
one showing that the three members
present at that session had acted
on them. She did them all in rota-
ton andl did not observe or did not
remember that exception had been
made by Hart and that he did not
act on those of his relatives. Long
afterwards when the matter was agi-
tated she looked into the question
and confessed that she had made this
mistake, and that it was plainly her
fault.
Another Man Hooked
While Mr.. Hart was explaining it
as / have given it above, he men
toned that F. w. Jordan, the county
clerk of Bonneville county, had been
recorded as acting on the question
aire of a relative in the same way,
and having passed that QUESTIONABLE
over to the rest of the board with
the same remark. After this fight
was made on Hart, and the truth
learned by the few who investigat-
ed, Jordan said that perhaps the
same thing had happened to him,
and he hunted it up and there was
the same endorsement made by the
clerk in rotation with lot of others,
indicating that Jordan had acted
upon the QUESTIONABLE of relative.
So If Hart has lied to me I have
passed it on to you just as got it
from him.
Hart said he did everything that
was asked of him during the war.
He said he bought all the Liberty
bonds and thrift stamps and Vic.
tory bonds they assessed him to buy,
and borrowed money to do it, and
that the only attack that had been
made upon him that he knew of
was made by political opponents. He
said he had been so busy he had not
really paid much attention to that.
When / asked him what kind Of
fight was made on him by the ser
vice men in committee at the Chi
cago convention, he looked surprised
and said he didn't know they made
any fight on him there. So there

HOW THE RAILROAD
QUESTION LOOKS To ELKO

Next Monday will seem somewhat
like days gone by" when the Espee
trains will again be using their own
road for regular traffic. 1t has been
about two years since the citizens of
Elko have been denied the privilege
of standing on Main street and
watching the passengers jump from
No. IL long enough TO stretch their
legs and get a breath of air. The old
pastime of betting whether they will
get left when the train starts will
again be in vogue among the sports
and hair breadth escapes on the
crossings will be another source of
conversation and a matter of perplex-
ity for the city dads. The putting of
the goat" and the humping of box
ears will also give way TO the shrill
whistle of the big moguls as the line
is transformed from a side track to
the raain line. Employees have been
at work during the past week putting
everything in readiness for the
change and il is expected that there
will be no hitch in the movements
of trains Of freight.-Elko Free

FRIEDMAN IL NOT
.HUMBOIDT SENATOR

Governor Boyle has made public
IA latter to j. w. Davey, clerk OF
Humboldt county, dealing with the
status of l.. A. Friedman, as senator
from Humboldt and Pershing conn
ties.
According to the governors let
ter, Senator Friedman rendered his
resignation from both representa-
tons on March Il, 1919, and was
orally assured that his resignation
would be accepted, although no writ
ten acceptance of his resignation
has yet been made by the governor.
Under the statutes creating Perish
ing county, the governor said, ii
would be impossible for Friedman TO
act as senator from Humboldt coun-
", while the governor is uncertain
as TO his status in Pershing county.
IN his letter to Davey, the govern
or stated that the question OF Fried
mans status as senator from Perish
ing county should be determined by
the senate itself, inasmuch as that
body is the constitutional judge oil

CASE TO BE APPEALED

The decision made by the district
court at Reno declaring that the
sheriff was illegally holding liquor
belonging to Fred Azparren will be
appealed Immediately to the supreme
court, according 10 District Attorney
Summerfield of Washoe county. The
liquor in question was taken from
Azparren's automobile when IL was
searched by a sherif's posse on the
outskirts of Reno, about two months
ago. Azparran asserted the liquor
vas not intended for use in Nevada,
but was being taken into California
and, as a commodity of interstate
commerce, was free from eonfiseation
by state authorities. Judge Moran
upheld Azparren's contention.

stood between Meyers and Adams.
The latter, without warning and as
quick as a flash, reached around the
man between and drove the blade OF
a pocket knife into Meyers back Z
number of times, but luckily no vital
spot was touched. What led to the
affair no one seems TO knoY, but it
is presumed that it was the result of

FAMOUS KYLE WILD HORSE
HERD ALMOST EXTINCT

Clark Ringing, of Pleasant Valley,
Nevada, recently completed what he
believes will be the last sale of wild
horse hides to be made In the United
States. The sale was made in this
city and included about 900 hides of
wild horses hunted by Ringing un-
der a bond given the state to protect
range stock of other r~anchers, says. a
Ninnemucca dispatch.
Ringing, notwithstanding of tie
days when the famous Kyle Wild
horse herd roamed the ranges west
of the Rockies, declared that prob
ably not more than a cor of the
noted herd now remain. He said It
originally contained 5000 head, but
has been the target for hunters for
many years and has o dwindled to
but a few animals.

news OF INTEREST
TRAPPED FOR BEAVER
CAUGHT AN ALLIGATOR

James Bryant and w. Bremen,
trappers and hunters, who have had
trap lines on the Humboldt river
west of Winnemucca, are spending
a Few days in town, says the Star.
They report having had fine luck so
far this season, and up 10 the pres
ent time have captured $50 musk
rats, eight beaver and four otter, six
teen coyotes and six Wildcats. Mr..
Bryant, who is an old-time trapper
and a wonderful story teller. in
speaking of the seasons experiences,
SAYS that when working in the fields
along the river at Frank Frogs
ranch. near Humboldt, he trapped a
young alligator that measured six
feet long. Mr.. Bryant said that ths
alligator had been seen by Mr.. Frey
along the river banks at different
times and that il had killed a num-
Der of calves. Every effort made by
ranch hands to trap the gator proved
failure until Mr.. Bryant arrived al
the ranch and soon made the cap
ture.
Mr.. Bryant, who was raised in the
south. has had experience with ALI
gators before and says the reason
they did not make the catch Is that
the traps were always set in the en-
ter OF a trail instead OF at one side,
as II is we'll known that the alliga-
tors legs protrude from the side OF
the body and of course the gator
straddled the traps. The alligator,
Mr.. Bryant said, was one that es-
capped a number of years ago from a
circus at Inlay and made its way &c
the river where il had lived up to the
time of its capture.

ORGANIZE \ UNION

What is believed TO be the first
COW punchers' union in the country is
being organized in Reno under the
direction of the Trades and Labor
Council, according TO announcement
made BY G. J.. James. secretary Of
the council.
According TO MIR. James, there are
from 80 to 200 cowboys in the Vi
einity who have been considering the
question of organizing for some
time, but have been deferred by the
fact that few of them remained here
long enough 10 make a union worth
while.
They are said now. however, to be
ready for definite action and the or

should be completed by the end of

iliate themselves with the American

THE TWELVE QUESTIONS.

Some time ago | distributed
amongst the business men and wom-
en- of this city a series of twelve
questions for them to answer. They
we're urged to be frank and out
spoken" in their replies. The pur-
pose of these questions was to get
their opinions upon such topics as
what is your idea of the purpose
and object of the church? What, in
your opinion, is the weak spot in the
church's way of doing her work?
What are the outstanding social and
civic needs of this city? What, in
your opinion, is the reason that some
people like TO go to church, while
others do not attend? What could
the church do to make itself a
stronger factor in the life of the
community? What do you consider
a minister's duties and place in the
community
The replies TO these questions have
not been numerous, but they are nu-
merous enough for me 10 reply TO
them from the pulpit. AS the an
swers to the above questions return
ed TO me were frank and outspok-
en- so will be the reply. And as
the answers We're courteously given,
so will be the replies.
AS these questions and answers
have a bearing upon the whole COM
munity the public is cordially invit-
ed to come to hear what the COM
munity and the pulpit think about
these questions and answers. The
first question, What is your idea OF
the purpose and object of the
church," will be considered next
Sunday morning at II o'clock. We
shall be glad to welcome your pres
ence.
