Mr. Nettleton had to use extreme

said. "The cannibals thought he was

Pocatello, Ida.—Rivaling the blood
thirsty career of Harry Tracey, the no

three others, one of whom may die,

Since the outlaw’s attempt to hold

the victims are:

cher near Hamer, probably mortally
wounded. Reitben Scott, watchman-at

Outlaw'sfcompanlon, whom posse be
lleves was killed by highwayman.
Some prompt°d by revenge, others
lured by the reward offered for the,,
capture of the outlaw, many following
their duties as deputy sheriffs, are on
the trail of the murderer.

SILVER WEDDING IT
THE WHITE HOUSE
President and Mrs. Taft Cele­
brate 25th Anniversary of
Theh Marriage.
Washington.—President and Mro.
Taft’s sliver wedding anniversary was
the greatest social event ever known
at the White House. With perfect
weather, under a starry canopy, 7000
guests participated, ¿ “"garden party
at the White House was a loading
feature of the festivities.
Much to
the regret of her friends, Mrs. Taft
did not wenr her wedding gown. She
wore a gown of white silk brocaded
with silver flowers and a bertha of
rosspolnt, the gown being with a
square neck qnd court train. Around
her neck was a collar of diamonds,
and In her hair a diamond bandeau.
All the members of the cabinet were
In the receiving line. They were ac­
companied by their wives, with the
exception of Secretary Fisher, Mrs.
Fisher not being in Washington.
Only once before has a sliver wed­
ding been celebrated in the White
House. That was on December 30,
IS77. when President and Mrs. Hayea
celebrated the twenty-fifth anniver­
sary of their wedding.
LaFollette a Presidential Candidate.
Senator LaFollette, Wisconsin In­
surgent, la a candidate for the Repub­
lican nomination for president of the
United States. This statement la
made with his knowledge and con­
sent. He will defer making any for-
haal statement until the campaign de­
velops and the voters are giving more
serious attention to candidate«.
Thus far Senator Poindexter of
Washington la the only northwestern
insurgent to declare for LaFollette.
Poindexter is not the only North­
western man In Congress who will
climb into the La Follette bandwagon.
Senator Bourne of Oregon is now cud­
<
dling up to La Follette, as he cuddled
up to Roosevelt three years ago, and
Is standing ready to contribute liber­
ally to the La Follette campaign
fund. Representative« Warburton and
La Follette, of Washington, have not
yet eommltted themselves, but their
talk all indicates strongly that they
favor La Follette as against T aft
Representative Lafferty of Oregon la
In a like mood. He, like Representa­
tive Franck, leans strongly toward La
Follette at thia time, though they ul­
timately may awing to Taft. The
probabilities are, however, that both
will Join the La Follette movement.
There are other« from the North­
west, however, who will remain loyal
to Taft. They are Repreeentatlves
Hawley of Oregon, Senator Jone« and
Representative Humphrey of Washing­
ton, and Senators Borah and Hey­
burn of Idaho.
Mormon Leader Summoned.

West Debate Ends.
General debate on the Underwood
bill revising the wool tariff schedule
ef the Payne-Aldrich law elosed Sat­
urday In the House after three days
ef discussion. The bill was called up
under the five-minute rule on Tues­
day, and will be placed upon Its pass­
age. There is little doubt that It will
pass the House on a straight party
vote.
The House has pretty «early fin­
ished the program agreed upon at the
beginning of the session, and now pro­
poses to make a new legislative pro­
gram which will etlU further upset
the tariff apple oart. Just how far
the Democrats will go la beyond
guessing yet, but In view of the soli­
darity shewn In dealing with the
schedule they are likely to go far.
