Boise, Idaho, Oct. 1S.-William Mar
vim, just in from Deer Flat in the Forth
ern portion Of Idaho, has given Deputy
Sheriff Lorton of Emmitt details OF a
battle that resulted in the complete OBJ
liberation Of a large gang OF horse
thieves who had long been q source OF
great loss to farmers and stOckmen.
Early in August a large posse went out
in search of the thieves, who had re-
turned to the Samas prairie country n
were operating with the utmost boldness.
| Marvin asserts that he witnessed a bat
tie near Deer Flat between rustiers
the posse. The thieves had unsaddled
their horses at a spring at the head OF a
! shallow basin, about a quarter of a mile
in diameter. They numbered eight, were
well mounted and heavily armed. The
shooting was all at long range, and after
an lour's battle no fat llities had result
ed. The posse then drew off and held
a consultation, after which a majority
of the pursuers ranged themselves IN a
long half a mile to the leeward of the
thieves. Then the few men left on the
windward side set the prairie grass
afre. The hunted men started for a
distant gulch in an attempt to escape
the double danger that threatened them.
Three of their number were wounded,
and these the other rustlers left to perish.
The rustlers dropped everything except
their rifles ran toward a ~ravine, firing as
they went, but were shot down before
they had gone 1000 yards. The prairie
fire did not destroy the wounded rustlers
left at the spring, though it singed off
their hair, boards and eyebrows and
burned their faces and hands. They
begged piteously to be allowed to die in
peace, but they were, with their six COM
panions, strung up to the different limbs
of a tree and allowed to remain there to
become the prey of buzzards.

INSECTS generally breath through
special pores in various parts of their
body, and if these pores are closed by
oil they are suffocated. Anyone may
test this by dropping sweet oil on the
thorax or back of a wasp; it very
soon dies. For this reason oil has
been found one of the best things to
use for the destruction of insects.
