to make the journey to Grangeville.

George Shearer and young man
named Dycer. On the road he be-
came very sick and weak but insist
ed on completing the journey,
although his companions urged him
to remain in camp. He was SO weak
on the second day that he had to
be tied in the saddle. In this con-
dition they journeyed along the
Melnor trail, Dycer in front, Shear
er following, leading the horse upon
which Clark was riding. Shearer

longer held the reins, called to his
companion and on examination
found that their charge had died in
the saddle. Lashing him to the

Grangeville, where the coroner held
an inquest and decided that his
death was occasioned from heart
trouble.

I'd that S. G. Fisher, Indian Agent,
will have supervision of the Poca-

make it the first town in Idaho.
When the townsite is opened it will
