GEORGE W. CRUM GIVES
GOVERNORSHIP HIS
(Special to The Tribune.)
Boise. Dec. 8.—George W. Crum of
Lewiston visited the capital city this
week and there is no denying the fact
that his presence here created some
thing of a stir. He was much sought
after by men who take an interest in
political matters, indicating that he is
taken seriously as a gubernatorial
possibility. To a representative of
The Tribune he discussed the political
situation very frankly and admitted
that he was considering the subject of
becoming a candidate for governor.
He came to Boise to talk the matter
over with friends. He declared that
he had arrived at no conclusion as vet
for such a step would have to be con
sidered from a number of angles; his
business associates would be consult
ed; the North uniting on one candi
date and his being their choice would
be another element that would enter
into his calculations. There were a
number of situations that would have
to be worked out before Mr. Crum
would be ready to make any declara
tion.
Crum does not seem to be overly
anxious to enter the race and it mav
be set down as a certaintv that he
will not unless the situation works
out to his liking. He is not the kind
of a man who goes it blind. He feels
that there is ample time to take the
subject under advisement.
Other Aspirants Active.
I But is must not be concluded that
Mr. Crum has all these deliberations
to himself. There are others, many
others. In fact it is surprising that
there are so many Republicans in
Idaho at this time who believe that
they can beat Moses Alexander for
governor next year. The number mav
be taken as indicative of the. con
fidence of Republicans in success in
the ircxt campaign.
D. W. Davis of American'Falls is
probably the most active candidate.
He is pushing his claims vigorously
and has made considerable headway
anfl at this time is making a tour of
the North.
Capt. E. G. Davis is modest vet ag
gressive and is keeping clear of all
slatemaking. : He is not in anv com
bine and proposes that the other fel
lows as well as himself shall live up to
the principles of the direct primary or
explain the reason whv before the
ballots are cast.
Lieutenant Governor Tavlor was in
evidence with many frieiids at Lewis
ton a few.days ago when a conference
of North Idaho Republicans was held.
The lieutenant governor has many
personal friends in the southeast.
Former Governor Haines has made
no announcement but it is known that
he is anxious to try for a vindication.
He will make no announcement until
next spring. The Governor has been
through two primary and two general
campaigns and speaks- from exper
ience as well as wisdom when he de
clares that the primary campaign will
be long enough if delayed until the
butter cups bloom.
In addition to the above there is a
long "waiting list," including Judge
Heitman, Judge Walters. Burton L.
French, Senator Gooding, Judge Ail
shie and Mayor Sweeley, any one of
whom could cause much anxiety to
other aspirants by getting into the
race.
Governor Alexander Active.
Speaking of political activity. Gov
ernor Alexander has easily earned the
blue ribbon. While the Governor is
the whole Democratic show, from the
clown to ring master, he does not pro
pose to be outdone by mere force of
numbers on the part of the Republican
brethern. The Governor is every
where. At Weiser Monday night.
Meridian Tuesday night, and so on
down the line. It is said that Alex
ander the Great went because there
were not more worlds to conuuer, but
our Alexander weeps because there are
not more days in the week in which to
playthe game. However the Gover
nor is a live wire. It is nil well and
true to say that Alexander promising
and Alexander delivering arc two dif
ferent men; he mav be denounced for
insincerity; it may be recalled tfiat lie
was going to clean out the statehouse
and then shown that he couldn't clean
up anything; his million dol
lor joke may be disproven by
the fact that taxes are higher
than ever in most of the counties of
the state, but before the Republicans
get through with the business, the
wiley Mose will have sprung a dozen
enw ones, equally as absurd, and at
the rat« at which he is holding meet
ings, it will be some job to keep up
with him.
But He Got a Frost at Lewiston.
Our Governor visited the North
west_ Live Stock Show at Lewiston.
It will be recalled that he vetoed an
appropriation of $10,000 to aid this
association and the stockmen nevei*
forefeave him for that act. The Gov
ernor was aware of their feelings and
he felt that it was up to him to square
himself or his political fortunes would
suffer a decline. He made a bold
stagger at an attempt. He told them
that the Live Stock show was the
greatest thing ever and warming-up
declared that it ought to have State
and county aid! That was going son}*,
in view of the fact that within less
than ten months he had vetoed an ap
propriation for that very purpose. It
is needTess to say that this inconsist
ency, not say insincereitv, did not set
well and he did not come anvwhere
near "getting away with it." His re
ception at Lewiston. is said to have
been a decided frost.
Land Office Reorganized Again.
The state land board is continuing
its efforts towards a reorganization of
the state land office, commenced while
Lieutenant Governor Taylor was act
ing governor. The board some time
ago called upon Register Hale to sub
mit a report recommending changes
in the land office with a view to great
er efficiency and economy. The Re
gister made his report last week and
it was adopted by the board on Sat
urday. The key note of Register
Hale's recommendation was central
ization. He recommended that the
land office be moved to the new capi
tol building with offices adjoining the
State Treasurer, so that the clerks in
the State Treasurer's office, employed
on land office work, could be used in
connection with the Register's work.
It was further recommended that the
Land Commissioner have his office in
the same room with the Register. Bv
throwing all these offices together, the
services of a number of clerks and
stenographers can be dispensed with,
and a considerable saving made. The
departments being together the work
can be handled more conveniently.
Just how much the saving will be
cannot be determined until the new
system is put in operation, but it is
said that it will be of considerable
consequence.
An Interesting Sidelight.
There is an interesting sideli-rht in
connection with the recent develop
ments in the land office. Lan.l Com
missioner Geo. A. Day and Register
Heber Q. Hale are said to be at
swordspoints. House them 'n the
same room and the situation !i liable
to become interesting at any moment.
Just what steps are to be taken in
the matter of "preparedness." when
the new order/goes into effect, has
not yet appeared in anv of the state's
official military bulletins.
PAYETTE DOCTORS IN BIG
DAMAGE SUIT IN "COURT
Big Legal Fight Started Tuesday
Which Involves $30,000-00.
Tuesday morning a jury was se
cured in the damage suit for $30,000,
brought by Dr. C. H. Barton against
Dr. Ira R. Woodward and Dr. J. C.
Woodward, all of Payette. The case
is being tried before Judge Dunn.
The plaintiff alleges that he has sus
tained damages in the amount claimed
through his arrest at the instance of
the defendants on a charge of practic
ing medicine in Idaho without * a
license. Some of the best known at
torneys of Boise, Caldwell and Pay
ette are arrayed on the two sides.
On Monday evening the jury in the
case of Stalker vs. Fuss handed in a
verdict for the plaintiff. This was an
interesting and closely contested trial.
It arose over a subscription pledge
made to the First Baptist church of
this city, of which Mr. Stalker is
treasurer and involved four notes ag
gregating $1,000.00.
The first note given by Mr. Fuss for
the sum of $500 became due and he
refused to pay it. In his defense he
set up the plea of "no consideration"
and further showed that he is no
longer a member of the church, hav
ing since joined another denomina
tion. The jury refused to see that
this excused Fuss from paying the
note and it so decreed. The other
notes are for $100, $200 and $200, the
latter still remaining not due.
MONDAY'S AUCTION SALES
TOTALED OVER $330000
One Hundred Head of Cattle, 350
Hogs and 25 Horses Offered.
The first auction sales by the Cald
well Traders' association for Decem
ber was a great success. The total
sales for the day were a trifle over $3,
300.00. Cattle to the number of 1Ö1;
350 hogs; 25 horses; and a quantity of
farm machinery and household goods
were offered for sale. Some of fche
stuff was not sold. On the whole there
was a ready market at a good price
for everything offered.
W. C. T. U.
The Caldwell Union will hold its
regular meeting on Friday, Decem
ber 10, at 2:30 at the home of Mrs.
Barney, 918 Everett Street. This is
the last meeting of 1915. A large at
tendance is desired. An interesting
program has been planned.
We notice in The Caldwell Tribune
that a Mr. Hoffstetter, formerly of
north Idaho, has opened up a new
electric bakery there. Wonder if that
is our old Kamiah baker and printer.
—Kamiah Progress. It is the« very
one. Mr. Hoffstetter was a well
known publisher until he reformed.
He is now a first class baker and has
a large and growing business in this
city.
Congressman Addison T. Smith
will introduce at the present session
of congress a bill providing an ap
propriation for federal buildings at
Caldwell, Weiser, Hailcv and Black
foot. Mr. Smith introduced the bill
during the last congress but it failed
to secure consideration.
Commissioners Adams. Ross and
Geisler met Monday as the board for
the equilization of personal taxes.
They will also transact business as
the board of county commissioners
while they are in session.
The Moss Mercantile Co., of Pay
ette filed suit against A. H. Garside
for debt Monday. The cl%im is in the
sum of $439.00.

QUARTETTE HAVE SOME
LIBEL SUITS UNDER
CONSIDERATION
Monday evening there was a meet
ing of the real leaders of the Demo
cratic party of Canyon county in the
law offices which have come to be
th^ headquarters of the party. The
attendance was small but select. Only
those with a vital interest in the sub
ject of the moment were invited and
responded. 0
The meeting was called for the
purpose of determining three things
of importance to the vitals of the
Democratic party, H. A. Griffiths, Carl
Geisler, G. W. Froman and L. C.
Knowlton, to-wit:
Has The Caldwell Tribune libeled
the vitals of the Democratic partv bv
alleging that officeholders of Canyon
county have violated the anti-nepot
ism law by the employment of rela
tives in the court house?
Is The Caldwell Tribune financially
responsible and can damages b^e col
lected? x
What Caldwell lawyer had better be
employed to prosecute the case in be
half of the vitals and against The
Caldwell Tribune.
Decisions Are Arrived At.
After a careful reading of the art
icles •«which have been published in
The Tribune; after looking the law
over from all angles; after discussing
the subject pro and con; it was de
cided that the county officials had not
violated the law and "consequently
The Tribune had libeled Messrs.
Griffiths, Geisler, Froman and Knowl
ton. y
The financial responsibility of The
Tribune was a hard matter to deter
mine but it \vas finally decided to
take a chance on collecting damages.
Four suit for libel are to be filed ac
cording to the decision Monday night.
These suits will be filed in regular or
der by Geisler, Knowlton, Froman
and Griffiths.
Selection of an Attorney.
The selection of an attorney to
prosecute the suits was an important
matter. A prominent Republican law
yer was mentioned with the explana
tion that he hated The Tribune. One
of the members present did not think
that this Republican hated The Tri
bune quite as hard as does a promin
ent Democratic lawyer. After full
discussion it was decided to take no
chance on the hatred of the Repub
lican lawyer, but to rely on the hatred
of the Democratic lawyer. It was so
decreed. This Democratic lawyer has
been consulted before this without
question.
Last evening the choir and Sunday
school gave a farewell party in honor
of Edward Profit), organSst of ,St.
David's church of this city, who leaves
for the east to live. The partv was
given at the residence of Mrs. Catlow.
* LOCAL AND PERSONAL ♦
****************
The Caldwell Traders' association
this week purchased six lots at the
corner of Ninth and Blaine streets.
These lots were bought from C. W.
Cooper and the Dorman Land com
pany. It was the original intention to
use these lots for sales purposes but
these plans may be changed. Mr.
Miller informed The Tribune that the
association will hold its February sale
on its own grounds. Details and-partic
ulars of plans of the association will
appear in the next issue of The Tri
bune. The size of the auction sales
twice a month is such that larger
quarters are absolutely necessary.
H. D. Carmichel ahd family left
Wednesday for Emmett. where they
will make their home. Mr. Carmichel
was called back to Emmett bv the
serious sickness of his father and to
look after property interests. Mr.

Caldwell for three vears. Thev came
here in January 1913 and Mr. Car
mickel served a deputy sheriff of the
county for two years under Sheriff
Brcshears. The many friends of the

trust that it will not be permanent.
The vacancy n the city council
caused by the removal of Alderman
Fred C. Lilly from the First to the
Second Ward, was filled by Mavor
Boyes last evening. Mr. Chas. .San

SHADE FIELDS AGQUTTED
CHARGE OF MURDER
EDWARD WARD
Shad Fileds stands acquitted of the
murder of Edward Ward, who he
shot near Norwood in Boise county
last September. The jury in the case
returned its verdict at 2 o'clock Wed
nesday afternoon, after deliberations
extending over 21 hours. The unffhi
mous vote of "not guilty" was readi
ed on the fifth ballot.
Few of those who had been await»
ing a decision by the jurors expected
it when it came. They had iust re
turned to their room after lunch when
the final ballot was taken, and inter
ested parties hardly expected to hear
from them until late in the afternoon.
There is evidence also that the sud
den termination of their balloting was
a surprise to the jurors themselves.
One of the bailiffs had just been sent
down town for cigars and supplies of
tobacco and had not vet reached his
destination when telephone message
summoned him to return.
Jury Heard From.
It was just 1:30 when the iurors
made known to Bailiff Meek the fact
that they were ready to appear in the
courtroom. Even when this fact
was noised about most of those at
the courthouse doubted much as to
whether the men had reached a de
cision. It was nearly 30 minutes be
fore Judge Davis, Reporter v Nicklaus
and Attorneys Paine and Nugent of
the defense arrived from their hotel.
Prosecutor Rhodes was already at
the courhôuse attending to details of
the settlement for the expense of the
trial with the Canyon county commis
sioners.
The jurors were led into the court
room a few moments before two
o'clock; Fields took his accustomed
seat_ with his brothers, and Judge
Davis asked the jurors if thev had
arrived at a verdict. Foreman B. F.
Tussing arose from his chair and re
plied, "We have, your honor.' He
then produced a slip of paper from
his pocket and handed it to Clerk
Parsons, who, during a breathless si
lence, read the content^ The tension
instantlv relaxed, smiles spread on the
faces of the prisoner and many of
those in the room, and Attorney Nu
gent turned to grasp the hand of his
colleague in a congratulatory clasp.
Second Trial Soon,
» Without verbal order from the
bench, Fields vyas remanded tb the
custody of Sheriff Froman. He must
now await trial for the slaving of
Wayman Ward, this hearing being set
for the January term of the district
court here. The information on which
Fields was held to trial and the
change of venue from Boise county
applied to the hearings on both the
murder charges. Fields will remain a
prisoner in the vanyon county jail
during the interim.

SPECIAL MUSICAL SERVICE
BY METHODIST CHOIR
Next Sunday evening, December 12.
the first of the special musical ser
vices to be given by the Methodist
church choir will be sung under the
direction of the organist. Mr. Beale.
The general subject of these services,
eight in number, is the "Development
of Religious ^Music," and, beginning
with the earliest known examples, the
choir will sing illustrations from the
various important stages through
which religious music has passed
down to the present day.
This first service will be devotcd*to
the "Music of the Old Testament."
and as illustrations the choir will
sing the ancient and revered melody
"Kul Nidere," which is still in use in
Jewish churches. This melody is a
fine example of the iniprovisational
style of anuient music, although it
has undergone vast changes in the
course of time. Of great interest, al-.
so, is a melody that is so old it is af
firmed to be the one Miriam sang in
that day by the Red Sea so long ago,
—though we may be pardoned if we
have our doubts of this. It is called
the "Song of Moses." In an effort to
present a picture of ancient musical
effects, Mr. Beale has furthermore ar
ranged a setting in antiphonal style of
the 24th Psalm for this service. As
far as we may untangle the mysteries
of the past regarding music, it is gen
erally believed that the singing of an
cient peoples was in unison, and from
the form of Hebrew poetry, and from
other references we gather that it
was antiphonal in character, at least in
ceremonies of the church. Psalm 24
is assigned by students to a particular
occasions described in the Scriptures
theVbringing of the Ark of God to
Jerusalem under King David's direc
tion. Mr, Beale's music, endeavours
not only to imitate the choral effects
of the Hebrews of that day. but also
instrumental effects, and its perform
ance makes use of the full choir of 24
voices, with accompaniment of organ,
piano, cornets, tamborine and cym
bals. As the musical picture is based
upon 11 »Samuel, Chapter 6, a reading
of this passage may help the under
standing of this setting of Psalm 24.
The pastor, Rev. Ewing. will give
an interpretation of Pslam 24„ also, as
well as the story of the events sur
rounding the ceremony back of it.
The program is arranged as follows:

DEVELOPMENT OF
RELIGIOUS MUSIC
Under the general topic of The
History of Church Music, the Pastor
and full Choir of the church will pre
sent the following outlined special
musical services during the next few
months. The services will be given
on Sunday evenings at the regular
church service hour, and on dates
named, h is expected that the services
will prove of much interest—the part
music has played in religious life is
large, and a backward glance at its
landmarks may even be of profit. The
different phases music has undergone
during the past twenty centuries and
more will be reviewed, with appro
priate musical examples by the choir,
and correlating remarks by the pastor.
Supplementing this series it is plan
ned to render to or three cantatas il
lustrating that form of sacred music.

VAN DEUSEN REPORT IS
COMING OUT PIECE
BV PIECE
The people of Canyon county are to
get the Van Deusen report in sec
tions, we are Jead to believe, bv the
resolutions of the countv commis
sioners. At a meeting of the board
1 uesday the following resolutions
were passed:
"It appearing to the board that G.
H. Moore, lax Collector of Canvon
county for the years 1907 and jlVOK.
owes Canyon county the sum of $3.
993.90 for moneys collected during
said years, which have not been paid
into the treasury of said Canvon
ounty, and
Whereas; the said indebtedness
vas not discovered until reported by
T. Van Deusen, special auditor, em
loyed to audit the accounts of Can
'on county, on the 30th day of No
'cmber, 1915; now, therefore be it
Resolved, That the county attorney
s hereby authorized to make demand
for payment of the sum of $3,993.90
and interest thereon from the second
Monday in January, 1909, at the rate
of 7 per cent per annum, until paid,
upon the said G. H. Moore, and upon
the United States Fidelity and Guar
anty Co., a corporation of the state of
Maryland, as surety for the said G.
II. Moore, and that in case of refusal
to pay, by said parties, then to bring
suit against parties for the recover*;
of said moneys."
R. C. PEASLEY WILL TAKE
CHARGE JANUARY FIRST
.Change in Management of the Golden
Rule Store in Few Days.
R. C. Peasley has been in the city
for several days getting acquainted
with the customers and trade of the
Golden Rule Store. Mr. Peaslev is
from Boise. After January first he
will have charge of the Caldwell
store. He is a young man who has
already demonstrated his ability as a
merchant under the eve of Mr. An
derson.
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Ross will leave'
Caldwell between January 1st and the
10th for Pueblo, Colorado, where
they will make their future home and
where Mr. Ross will have charge of
a large store associated with the Gold
en Rule chain of stores. Mr. and
Mrs. Ross' departure will be greatly
regretted in both business and social
circles. They have made their home
'h' s city for a great many years.
I he Golden Rule store was opened
for business in this city April 10, 1906.
Mr. Ross came here to open and take
charge of the store a^d has been here
ever since. Under his management
the Golden Rule has grown wonder
fully. It docs a big business and
business that has grown year by year
from the start.
Get Action On It.
I he reason why Sheriff Froman did
not purchase any germicide for the
county jail was that former officers of
the county, to get a premium trom the
company, purchased enough to last the
county for the next ten years—Cald
well News.
Well why don't Sheriff Froman
scatter a little of the supply around
the county jail. It won't last so long
if it is used.
At The License Counter.
Marriage licenses were issued Wed
nesday to W. R. Bates and Audrey
Nelson, both of Caldwell, and to R.
Y - barber and Seiina Forster. both
