Born in Humble Log Cabin,
WALTERS Fitted to Become
Next Gouernor of Idaho
Nominee Works Way Up from
Poverty-Puts Self
Through College

Born in log cabin on the banks
of the Mississippi river, in Iowa, T.
A. Walters, better known throughout
Idaho as cited Walters, Democratic
nominee for governor of the state,
through his own determination to ac-
quire an education, despite his handi-
cap of lack of funds, worked his
way, unaided, through college, into
the school room, as a teacher, then
into the practice of law, later to be-
come attorney general of the state of
Idaho, and an eminent lawyer, and
now he has been nominated by his
party as a candidate for governor of
Idaho.
SUCCESSFUL AT LAW
Mr.. Walters, whose home is in Cald-
well, not only is successful attorney,
but is a business man and a farmer.
Yet his friends declare it is not his
nature to forget that he was born in a
little old log house and that, besides
being a university graduate, he holds
the degree of Master of Science of In
dustry, conferred by the College of
Hard Work.
He worked his way through Upper
Iowa university, at Fayette, and then,
in order to earn money, with which
to continue his education, Mr.. Wal
tiers taught school, He later attend
ed the State University of Iowa, at
Iowa City, and studied law. He To-
Gated in Caldwell, for the practice
of his profession. He was appointed
a member of the state board of ed
ucation by Governor Alexander.
Mr.. Walters has twice campaigned
the state for election as attorney gen
eral. He was, the first time, defeated
by eighty votes, but won in his sec
Dnd campaign, $500 votes ahead of his
ticket.
Mr.. Walters was attorney general
IF Idaho during the war and was
the first attorney general I'm the Uni |
ted States to enforce the criminal syn /
1icalism law.
MAN OF THE PEOPLE
Mr.. Walters is described as man
If the common people. The corpora
ions did not back him for governor,
nor are they contributing to his
fund. If elected, it is under
stood, he will not keep an army of
political renegades on the state S pay
oil, nor will he be a party to mani
1ulation of state affairs TO the benefit
If one particular part of the COM
and the detriment of an
,ther.
He is making a personal campaign
throughout the state, and will quite
likely come to Grangeville to meet
he voters and discuss with them
Iuestions of the hour.

OFFICIALS MAY.
INSIST SKULL.
Be RETURNED.
Authorities Incensed Over
Taking by Medical Student
of Bones of Indian Fighter
Expected to Order Head Be
Brought Back and Deposit
ed in Grave Near Whitbird

Idaho county authorities are incensed
over the theft by a medical student
of the skull of the regular army
soldier, a veteran of the Indian war
Of 1877. whose skeleton was unearthed
last summer by a steam shovel, exca-
waiting for the North and South high
way. at a point four miles up the
Grade from Whitebird. That the sol
dier's skull had been stolen by a
former timekeeper employed by the
highway contractors, was disclosed
for the first time in last week IS issue
of the Idaho County Free Press.
The board of county commissioners
recently authorized erection of a
monument over the grave of the sol
der, along the North and South
highway.
MAY BRING SKULL BACK
County Commissioner John D. Long,
when informed that the soldiers skull
had been stolen, prior to the reburying
of the bones, along the highway,
declared the county commissioners
would thoroughly investigate the mat
ter, and no doubt would instruct the
sheriff to attempt to recover the
skull and have it inferred with the
other bones of the soldier.
The Free Press, continuing its in
vestigation, has learned that the medi-
cal student who snatched the skull
from among the bones of the unfor-
tunate soldier who lost his life while
fighting the Nez Perces, Is the son
of a minister. He was employed on
the highway during the summer OF
1919, and quit late in the summer of
that year, in order to resume his col
lege studies.
G. A. Bicknell, contractor for the
Grangeville-W hitebird link of the
North and South highway, declared he
did not positively know that the student
had taken the skull, but shortly af-
er the bones were dug up by the SHOW
ell, he was informed by men in his
employ, that the preacher son had
taken the skull from among the bones,
and had kept it.
ORDER BONES REBURIED
"When l was informed that the
bones had been dug up" said Mr..
Bicknell, 81 instructed the men to
make box, place the bones in the
box, and rebury them at the side of
the road near where the body had
originally been placed. }"
j. j. McCready, state engineer, on
the highway was near the scene
when the bones wero exhumed but
did not 60 exactely to the spot.
81 saw a number of men gather
together" said Mr.. McCready, "and
knew something unusual had happen
ed. made inquiry and learned that
a human skeleton had been dug up
by the shovel. L was not interested |
IN seeing such a gruesome thing, and
did not go exactly to the spot"
Mr.. McCready, however, asserted
he had heard later that the bones were
buried without the skull
