TWO MEN MURDERED
TROUBLE BETWEEN SHEEP MEN
AND CATTLE OWNERS.
jerome Cummings and John Wilson Are
Killed While Asieep-There IL
Great Excitement
Special Dispatch to the Standard

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Boise, Feb. 20.-News reaches Boise Of a
terrible tragedy at the junction of Sho-
shone creek and Salmon Falls river. in
Cassia county. near the Nevada line. On
the 18th of this month the dead bodies of
two young sheepmen, residents of Oakley,
named Jerome Cummings and John Will
son, were found at their camp on Sho-
shone creek. 1t appeared that they had
been shot while they slept. The killing
resulted from the long-standing difficulty
between sheep owners and cattlemen in
that section. Last fall John Talman, a
sheepman, was shot near the spot where
Wilson and Cummings were murdered.
There is considerable excitement in Cas-
STA county over the murder of the young
men. Another sheepman named Hunter is
missing and II is feared that he met the
same fate as did Wilson and Cummings
The bitter feeling over the range that ex-
lists between the cattlemen and the sheep
owners will likely result in more serious
trouble unless the officers succeed in
making an example OF some one The
sheepmen make dangerous threats in case
the law miscarries. The murder of Flem-
ing a year ago was the result of this
fight over the range.

STORY OF A CHECK.
1t Had Been scorched to a Char, But Was
Paid on Presentation

~ ma" "ceh Scorched TO CHAR, But Was
Paid on Presentation.
From the San Francisco Bulletin.
One of the greatest curiosities in the
check line has just come to light in this
city. lady brought il to the Bank of
California TO be cashed. 1t was i'm a
paper box and had to be handled very
carefully, for II was in two pieces and
both were burned to a crisp. There
was not decipherable word on either
piece. The lady said that the bits OF
crisp paper represented a. check for
$125,, which she had received in a letter.
The check, she said, was drawn by the
National bank of ID. o. Mills of Sacra-
mento. She had removed the letter
from the envelope and had thrown the
envelope on some live Goals In the
crate. Upon reading the letter she had
found reference to an Enclosure of a
check for the sum named, and turned
TO the fire crate with sore appointment.
The fire had done it's work. The crisp
paper lay on the Goals. She carefully
removed the same, placed IL in a box
and hurried to the Bank of California
to get the money before the pieces were
crumbled any further.
After listening to her story the Off
GERS of the bank made a careful exam
ination of the pieces of burnt paper,
and by the aid of powerful glasses they
were able to make out portions of
words from the pen impressions made
on the paper. There were enough of
these lines left to show that ELLA"
had been written. and part of the word
hundred" was also made out, with two
or three letters of the name of the
bank. These discoveries corresponded
with the story of the lady and the bank
officers then communicated the circum-
stances to the National Bank of d. O.
Mills Co, of Sacramento, and
asked for a duplicate check in favor of
the lady. This was forwarded and the
money was paid. The circumstance
disproves the charge about the curios-
ity of women. Had there been more
curiosity about the Enclosure of the en-
velope the trouble would have been
avoided. The best application of the
story is to be careful that what you
throw into the fire has no further value
for you.

to SIS a month. according to age, and give

old $500 in cash. The author meant well
but his scheme is incomplete. He ought
