Commentary dismisses Morris Friedman and Harry Orchard testimony as biased theatrics. The piece argues Friedman’s stolen Pinkerton tales lack evidentiary value while Orchard’s confessions carry real, meaningful claims. It casts both men as morally similar yet distinguishes material truth from mere allegations.
The Journal notes that about 300000 Idaho residents would prefer the accused be convicted, but asserts a verdict should follow solid evidence. It argues public sentiment varies and a fair decision requires substantial proof beyond the presented state’s case, cautioning against rush to judgment.
A visiting stranger sought land in Linvoly county after talks with locals. A Shoshone citizen loudly protested the town and its people, scaring the visitor away just before the deal closed. The citizen is urged to visit a drug store for a cholera cure offer charged to the Journal.
Rev C A Edwards, a Methodist preacher and the day’s orator, celebrated baseball as a moral and joyous pastime. He contrasted lively common life with clerical aloofness and urged religion to embrace human vitality rather than bookish rigor, noting Christ’s example among ordinary people. He implied sports can express the divine through honesty and vigor.

After a period of intense improvements, the publishers now welcome guests to witness the completed housecleaning and new features.

Edwards, followed by afternoon sports with winners named in races and field events.
Mike Morton of Shoshone dominated as Gooding rallied with aggressive baserunning and timely hits. Five quick outs marked the early burst, then Mike connected for a circuit, Swope drove in runs, and Merton added another score as Gooding surged ahead.
These compiled rulings define desert land by crop value, rainfall, and intent to establish a home. They specify that productive but inferior crops count as land not desert and that final proof can be submitted during pendency of adverse claims. The compilation is by Woodford D. Harlan, land attorney, Washington, D.C.
Emerson dodges work after a breakfast trick and faces vagrancy charges, while James Malloy faces a hearing for pilfering groceries.
