An authority on slang produces
the following on popular term:
A ''rubber-neck" is somebody
who is trying to get next door to
somebody's affairs. A woman
that keeps looking out of the
window to see what her next
door neighbor is doing, or prying
into affairs that do not concern
her in the least bit is one of
them, and the woman who is
straining ever nerve to curry
favor and receive compliments
from men by showering upon
them deceitful smiles is also a
''rubber-neck." You've seen a
man trying to read a letter over
another mans shoulder. He's a
''rubber-neck," because you see
he is stretching his neck to get
on to something that's none of
his business. 1t will be readily
seen that, according to this def
milton, that every community has
it's ''rubber-necks."
While hunting one of his mich
COWS in Rattlesnake canyon yes
terday, Ike Harmon accide1tly
discovered the lower jaw bone
and teeth of a person evidently
belonging to the prehistoric race.
Mr.. Harmon brought his lind"
10 town and took it to DR.. Swans
dental Office, who afte1 washing
it and thoroughly examining it
unhesitatingly pronounced it the
jaw-bone of a human being. Its
shape is perfect and it measures
214 inches. The teeth protrudes
above the bone at least half an
inch and are as white as pearl.
d.. Swan will have it on exhibi-
ton at his Office until 4 o'clock
Thursday, when he packs it for
shipment to the anatomical in
stitute at Washington. He con-
siders it the most wonderful find
ever made in the lava fields of
Idaho.-Elmore Bulletin.
A Boise special to the Salt
Lake Herald says: News of the
dismissal of Frank W. Beane, of
Blackfoot, as a special agent of
the treasury department, is not
surprise to people here. who
claim to have been on the inside.
Special Agent Johnson, of Spo-
kane, and Mr.. Beane have been
cutting each others throats for
some time. 1t was a question
which could file and substantiate
the most severe charges, and
neither of the gentlemen have
been idle in this respect. When
the two special agents we're here
working on the fraudulent Chin
ese certificate cases, an attempt
was made to bribe them. They
put up job on the briber, All
Sing. a Chinese attorney, and
one of them received from him
something like $50 in room in
the Overland hotel, while the
other overheard the conversation
in an adjoining room. Themoney
was deposited in the Overland
safe marked deposited by Beane
and Johnson; to be used as evil
dence in the case of All Sing"
Subsequently. Mr.. Beane, it is
said, drew the money down. Mr..
Johnson when informed of this,
claimed he had no right to take
the money, and that he John
sony knew nothing about it being
taken down.
From all indications this will
be an active year of mining In
Custer county. Our mines are
not doomed to any great ex-
tent on the outside. They do
not require it, for they show for
themselves. Just how much
work will be done on them this
year depends greatly on the
,n,.ioa of load and Silva1. Nam
