deserve great credit for their untir-

and the chronic GROWER who does
not receive his mail on time would
soon be cured of his growing pro-
pensitaes If he drove stage a few
days In the beautiful snow.
Yesterday while a furious snow
storm was raging here a curious
phenomenon was witnessed. Sud-
denly the falling snow became of n
dark brown or nearly black color.
and remained so until about two
inches had fallen, when il as sud-
denly assumed its natural white
ness. The only solution I am able
to offer for this singular freak is
that fearful wind storm was rag
ing in the valley below and Snake
river zephyr picked up a few acres
OF Mountain Home real estate and
whirled it through space until it
struck a Pine Grove snow storm
and was instantly knocked into dust
that settled down to fertilize our soil
and make good crops next summer
Last fall the wise men of Pine
Grove prophesied we would have a
very light, open winter, but subse-
Iuent events prove they were lit
lie of. for we are having one OF the
hardest winters ever known here.
still these same men have the gall
o say the snow will be gone in time
o make room for next winters
'upply.
But, even il we are snowbound.
We all enjoy good health and are
happy and contented. Several pros
,ects here are being worked on a
mail scale, and all are showing up |

irove was never better than at the |
present time-for mine owners are |
ired of waiting for capitalists to |

heir own claims, which is a wise
dea, for many Of the mines will |
'ay all expenses and a handsome
dividend beside as development
york progresses.

One Of the most cold blooded
double murders ever committed IN
Idaho occurred At iIagerman, near
the railroad station Of Bliss, in I.o.
gan county, ON the 10th Instant.
Jack Cross shot and killed Samuel
Barker and Robert Wilson, and the
particulars of dassardly deed are as
follows, as told by Constable Boyer,
who had the desperate under ar
rest at the time the crime was COM
mitted:
About six months ago Jack Cross
and Bill Henderson came from Op.
den and were working a placer
claim near the Briggs settlement on
Snake river. There are several
miners cabins and few ranches in
the neighborhood and somebody has
lately been looting their cabins and
ranches and carrying off tools and
provisions. About two weeks ago
there was a dance at Hagerman and
both Cross and Henderson attended.
That evening several sets of har-
ness were cut to pieces. Suspicion
rested on these two men and a war
rant was sworn out charging them
with larceny. arrested them and
took them to Sam Bankers place.
Bob Wilson was at that time spend
ing the evening with Barker. 1t is
not known who filed the complaints
but Cross blamed Wilson for the
arrests. The constable laid down
his pistol and stepped outside for
some wood. AS soon as he had gone
Cross picked up the weapon and
deliberately shot Wilson without
any warning. The shot passed
through Wilson's body and he died
about four hours afterwards. See
ing Wilson fall Barker jumped up
and grabbed Cross around the BODY
from behind. This pressed Cross
right hand, which held the pistol,
around towards Barker's left side.
Cross showed the pistol against
Barker and fired, the bullet passing
directly through his heart, killing
him instantly.
Constable Boyer then rushed in |
and Cross turned to shoot him. The
jumped behind Hender-
'on and, grabbing him around the
waist, held him up as a shield and |
begged for his life. Wilson then got
IN the constable's horse and rode
,ff in the darkness. Early the next
morning q posse of seven persons
in pursuit of Cross. who is
to have gone first to his
,abin, where he QUILTED himself
With provisions. In addition TO this
POSSE, the sheriff sent out men from
shoshone.
Henderson is still in Jail. He is
aid to be tough character. When
he constable arrested him he drew
revolver and forced the constable
o desist. When told the charge
vas nothing more serious than ma
icious mischief, he consented to 20
With the officer, but would not be
lisarmed. He had his revolver on
when Cross did the shooting but did
lot attempt To use it.
A special 10 the Statesman from
Bliss says: 1.-THE posse on the Snake
liver lava beds have discovered evil
lence of Cross having been in that
ocality, and they confidently ex-
'ect to capture him soon. Frank
henderson has been taken TO Belle
ue to Jail. He states that Crosse IL
he party who, some time ago, bur
larized Grayson's store at Oreana.
II IL learned that after Cross left
he scene Of the murders he ex-
hanged Bankers horse for fresh
nimal belonging to Mr.. Smalley,
1ithout the latter's knowledge or
onsent. Cross turned the horse
bose after he entered the lava beds
nd the animal returned home Last
unday.
