stances it would not be the wisesl
course for them to appropriate the
necessary funds as hitherto.
Lou Felt, as representative Of the
Kiwanis club, John G. Brown of the
Rotary club and D. P. Brill of the
American Legion each spoke in re-
gard to the matter according to the
viewpoint that their respective organ
izations held. E. J. Felstead and
Harrison Mcknight who were former
ly secretaries of the fair board spoke
of the value to be derived form tho
fair as to the prestige and advertis-
ing which this county has gained
through that medium. The South
eastern Idaho Fair is noted through
out this section of the country for
the splendid exhibits which are
shown. Byrd Trego gave very ex-
cellent talk on the success of our
past fairs and added a new idea in
that the boys and girls should take
more active interest in the plans ana
of the exhibits. Eric
Sundquist, a prosperous farmer OF
this community, gave very fine talk
on the value of the fair from the
standpoint of the farmer. All those
who were present volunteered their
services to arrange for the fair, graf
Is, in order that it may be put across
with the least possible expense. A
vote was taken and resulted in the
n ,f,,,a ~
Tor the Southeastern Idaho Fair to be
held this fall.
The meeting was presided over by
County Commissioner w. T. England
who then turned the meeting over To
Neil F. Boyle, president Of the Com
nercial club. Mr.. Boyle explained

This new road will be a short cut |
which will reduce the distance from
10 miles from Ashton to Yellowstone
O 55 miles. The Ashton club asked |
hat the local club appropriate $41Oo
or this purpose and this amount was
voted. The next matter

yhich he stated that unless money
yas forthcoming Immediately that

VIM. M|LL|CK Of
CHALL|S ON TRIAL
FOR MURDER

William Millick of Challis is being
tried on the charge of murder, anc
being an .accomplice of Dan BreyeI
In the murder of Oscar Taylor, fol
which crime Brayer is now serving
life sentence. Brayer is brother
in-law' Of Millick's.
Judge Ralph w. Adair is presiding
The State Of Idaho is being repre-
sented by w. W. Adamson, Milton A.
Brown and Hamilton Wright.
Millick is being defended by Chase
A. Clark, and Whitcomb, Cowen &
Clark.
Oscar Taylor was instantly killed
by Dan Brayer at Challis in the latter
part Of January, 1922. He was shot
down while leaving the Brayer town
residence in Challis, where he had
been saving wood. The gun used
was high powered rifle. Three shots
were fired by Brayer, all of which
took effect, one piercing the heart,
one entering the abdomen and one in
the cheek bone, any Of which woulo
probably have caused death.
A charge Of murder was filed
against Brayer, Trial was held in
Custer County where Brayer was
found guilty and sentenced to life
Imprisonment.
Taylor was a former employee OF
Brayer's, having worked with the
Brayer sheep outfit for a number OF
years. He homesteaded a piece OF
land adjoining the Brayer ranch on
Warm Springs creek and had left the
employ of Brayer to look after his
property. Afterwards he was re-em-
ployed by Brayer. A quarrel was had
a week before the shooting in which
Taylor was badly handled, following
which he moved to Challis.
After removing to Cha1lis Taylor
was asked by Mrs. Brayer to saw
some wood at the Brayer residence IN
Challis. On the day of the shooting !
he was reported to have been work
ing on the wood pile and that evening |
was in the Brayer house with Mrs. |
Brayer and the Oldest daughter, when |
Mrs. Brayer stated she was going TO
q neighbors for her other daughter.
Taylor then stated he would go as
far as town with her. 1t was dark
when the couple left the house and as
they came out the door the shots were
fired which cost Taylor his life. Bray
er went to the home of VIM. Millick
from where he called the sheriff ana
gave himself up.
Just where Millick's part in the
murder comes in has not yet been
shown. AS we go to press the jury
has been empanneled and three wit
nesses have testified, and the case IS
Just getting under headway. Some 4S
witnesses have been called and it Is
thought the case will take from one
70 three weeks. l
The crime occurred in Custer coun- t
" and was transferred to Bingham G
County from there.

About the time of the medal pre-

Patrick Randles, acting head of the

signed. The resignation seems to have
been unexpected by Captain Handles,

came after the captain had testified

tort $4,000 from the driver of liquor

as an indication that the attitude of
the pro-league Republicans of 1920
has undergone no change, but perhaps,
has grown stronger than ever, for they
are once more talking of the league as
it exists, rather than an association
to be formed at some time in the fu-
ture.
Nor have the johnson and other
anti-league wings of the party shown
any signs of weakening, so, it is safe
to say that in the next Republican
convention, the fight on the foreign
declarations of the g. o, p. platform
is going to be one of the bitterest in
the history of the party.
The resolutions committee, which
will draft the platform, will be more
carefully selected than ever before
and the Craftsmanship of the committee
will be position Of the greatest re
sponsibility.
One great difficulty about the
League of Nations issue in a cam

The opponents of the league say it

United States did the wise thing in
staying out.
The friends of the league say the
reason it is weak today is because
the United States has not lent its
moral sport to it.
They say that if America were in
the league, the moral. force of the
league would be so great, that no
nation would wish to defy its mandate
and stand scourged before the world.
But so long as the United States
fouts the league, it is not surpris-
ing that smaller powers are inclined
to treat it in the same manner when
some curtailment of their aims is the
issue.
The Democratic national commit
tee is proceeding with much publicity
on the tariff and other domestic
questions
Many Democrats undoubtedly favor
domestic campaign, but as the inter-
national situation presses forward
more and more the likelihood Of that
issue being the paramount one next
year grows greater day by day.

New York, Sept. 12--You had
your choice of horrors this week.
There was, for example, the matter
of seatess scholars. In the biggest city
in the world, city which in week
can raise over S4,0O0,OOO for Japanese
relief, there are 200.00D more public
shoot pupils than there are public
school seats. Teachers are collecting
squads Of this surplus in odd corners
and Railways, and cndeavcring with
out proper equipment to drill a little
knowledge into their brains. The 200,-
600 will have to snatch their educa-
ton on part time schedule.
Not that the youngsters object. But
if you happen to be both a parent and
taxpayer, this situation--in view
of police salary increases. municipal
junLets and this, and that-becomes
a bit trying.
Still. the Dempsey Firpo- Babe Ruth
and other public careers constantly re-
