The Caldwell Tribune September 15, 1916
Nick St. Clair Flees From Gem County and Caught in Canyon. Nick St. Clair who
shot his wife near the town of Sweet, Friday, was captured three miles from
Payette, early Saturday evening by Chris Penske, night policeman of Payette, and
Will Callender, county treasurer of Gem county. The shooting occurred Friday
morning on the road between Sweet and Montour. Mrs. St. Clair died a few hours
after the shooting at Sweet. The woman was riding with her father, W. J.
Skillings, and her four-year-old son when met by her husband who demanded that
the child be turned over to him. After some argument Mrs. St. Clair stated that
she would rather see the child dead than in the possession of his father,
where-upon St. Clair drew his revolver and fired four shots, all of which took
effect.
