Big Wash-out
In LibbY-Troy
Highway
Stream Diverted Down Gulch and
Cuts Out ROad--Now
Repaired.

The heavy rains of the past three
weeks are again threatening damage to
highways and bridges in this district
Tuesday morning about 4 o'clock Coun-
ty Commissioner Brink was routed out
of bed by reports from the Great
Northern that there was a serious
washout in the highway west Of Libby
in the unimproved section of highway
between the Sam Orino project and
the one running west from this city.
The report was that the water had cut
a channel 20 feet deep through the
highway.
MIR. Brink got his supervisor, b. J.
Lamey, and drove at once to the site
of the damage. He found the report
true-a channel some IS to 90 feet wide
and fully 20 feet deep. He also found a
stream as large as Flower creek, so he
reports, running down what had always
been dry gully.
A number of years ago there was q
serious slide in this same gully wher
huge mass of clay and boulders slic
onto the Great Northern track, al
which time it took the railroad COM
pany two or three days to clear the
track, with steam shovel working
from each end. AT that time the debri.
closed the gully and it was across thi.
that the highway passed. This debri!
has now been cut out by the flooc

bridge, similar to what was done las

Supervisor Lamey later learned tina
creek, flowing across the upper en-,
of the gulch, had become checked b
debris and the water had been diverte
down the gulch. The debris was re
moved and the stream turned back int
its channel
Tuesday large bull-dozer was oh
tanned from Supervisor Webb Of tn
forest service, and by its aid the dam
age was repaired and the highway re
opened to travel by Tuesday night.

The same democratic wave that swept
most of that party's candidates back
into office throughout the nation in
Tuesdays election was very evident in
Lincoln county. Only two republican
candidates were elected, Marshall Muir
ray for county attorney and Sam Car
penter for county clerk and recorder.
All other democratic candidates were
given majorities of at least two t6 one
and in some instances as high as three
and four to one. The closest contest was
in the race for county attorney, Murray
polling 1925 votes and Maiden 1851, a
majority of IA for Murray. Wheeler,
for U. S. senator, polled the largest
vote, 1896, with Jessie Staudacher, Tor
county superintendent of schools, run
ming a close second, she receiving 1882
votes. Baney polled the next highest
vote for contested office with 1886 and
Frost followed for county commissioner
with Ass.

vote was not reported in the early re-
turns and can not be given at this time:

Blackboard, Sheriff Baney and Mrs.
Tom ID. Long, coroner were pres
ent at the inquest
Sarafino Scozzari of Rexford is held
in the county Jail in Libby awaiting
trial for the killing last Sunday of
August Morey, also of ReMord.
According to Scozzari's story, he and
Morey were out hunting Sunday morn
ing near Rondo, about five miles from
Rexford, when suddenly Morey pulled
his rifle down on Scozzari and accused
him of causing marital trouble in the
Morey family Whereupon Scozzari
opened fire on Morey with a shotgun,
shooting him twice. One shot struck
Morey in the side, while the other
penetrated the body near the heart
1t is said there were no witnesses to
the shooting except Scozzari
The body of the slain man was taken
in charge by the coroner and an in
quest was held Wednesday.
Morey is survived by wife and five
children and was employed as sec
ton worker by the Great Northern
Scozzari had been working around
Rexford at odd jobs. He is unmarried
Scozzari talked freely to Sheriff
Baney and gave his version of how the
shooting happened. He said he and
Morey were out hunting a short dis
lance from Rondo when suddenly Morey
pointed his rifle at Scozzari and ac-
cused him of causing trouble at Morey's
home. Scozzari then, SO he says,
crouched down and at the same time
blazed away at Morey. When asked
why he fired two shots into the mans
body he replied that Morey did not
fall at the first shot He claims that he
feared for his life.
The sheriff's investigations showed
that after shooting Morey, Scozzari
fastened into ReMord and told Mrs.
Morey that he had killed her husband.
According to the story, he remarked to
her, 1T was either his life or mine and
| shot him He then went 10 the
Fewkes store to phone to brother of
! Mrs. Morey at Whitefish and while
there was advised to phone to Sheriff
Baney, which he did He was then
taken in charge by one of the border
patrol men at ReMord
When Sheriff Baney arrived he took
Scozzari out to where the shooting &C.
cured. Scozzar there re-enacted the
tragedy for the sheriff, showing where
he stood when the shots were fired.
The sheriff says the distance between
the two men was about 16 feet, accord
ing to Scozzari's story After Morey had
fallen dead, Scozzari then pulled the
rifle from beneath the dead man and
started to Rexford, carrying the two
guns After going short distance he
hid one gun in the brush and hid the
other one a short time before he
reached ReMord He said the reason
for that action was because the guns
were becoming too heavy to carry in
his hurry to get back to town and re-
port the shooting.
! Morey and his wife are Italians, He
is 30, she rs years old. Scozzari is of
Sicilian parentage although he was
born in this country. He is FL years OF
age Morey is large man of about 220
pounds, while Scozzari is small, weigh
ing only about 100 pounds. Scozzari had
been staying at the Morey home.
Scozzari came into the county with
the Gees In 1888 and was stationed at
Rexford He went back to New York
and then returned to Rexford where
he had been working at odd jobs.

it! When 1 am twenty My cousin
says 1 am selfish. Aren't we all?
My mtoher says 1 should profit by
her experiences. want experiences
of my own! l want desperately to
get away. 1 want a job. 1 want to
be independent, but as long as l

ALMOST HAPPY.
Answer-It is difficult for many
parents to realize that their chill
dren have their own lives to live,
their own tests to face, and that
they are entitled to an independ-
ent view of existence, to their own
standards. tastes and desires.
Such parents wish to continue the
fostering care which from the be-
ginning has hampered the free
and independent evolution Of
their childrens characters.
When the children Of over-pro-
tective parents struggle for ado
leScent emancipation, when they
rebel and attempt to lead an in
dependent life, the most terrible
scenes enSue. Yet these often are
the parents who have made the
most sacrifices to give their chill
dren advantages. 1t is simply
that they can not refrain from
extending their influence beyond
the point of its usefulness.
I agree with you that it would
be well for you to get a job and
get completely away from your
family. This you will be able to
do sooner than you expect if you
keep your goal firmly in mind and
never cease working toward it.
At present you merely have
swung to the opposite extreme of
your former behavior. From an
unassertive person you have be-
come OveraSSertive. AS your
Self-cOnfidence grows you will
not find it necessary to be violent
in your demands for independ-
ence. You will calmly and quiet
~ take your rights without tram
ping on the people who would
kill you with misplaced kindness.
You are on the. right track. Now
try harder for the quietude of real
strength.
