u )uy, duO CldluleQ III was ia oCAA-
defense. Tollnan said that when
shot he was riding with his gun
across his saddle. He recovered.
Officers became convinced that |
Davis had a hand in the murder
of Wilson and Cummings. He
was finally located in the Arizona
penitentiary. He held up two
policemen and took their pistols,
for which he was sentenced to IA
months under the name of Frank
Woodson. Gleeson was located
about the same time at Deer
Lodge, Montana. He was living
there under the name of William
Treet. Circumstantial evidence
against them is very strong. At
The Wells, Nevada, they got
drunk and boasted of killing tn O
sheepherders in this State. III e
jury on the Davis case brought
in verdict of guilty of MURDER
in the first degree.

Monthly, at 81 per year. This
ardent laborer in the field of
progress and monetary reform is
before US as an exchange, and is
most heartily welcomed. II is
doing a good work and should
and undoubtedly will be support

further recommend it to all who
are seeking light on the financial
problems, and a remedy for our
financial sickness.
A new forage plant, the Idaho
Coffee Pea, is the latest discov-
cry in the science of agriculture,
says the Idaho World. The wild
pea grows luxuriantly on the
lava deserts of Snake river bas-
in, and has been an important
element in the pasturage of the
} region to which it is indigenous.
The seed was gathered and the
plant was cultivated first in
Wood River valley and later in
Colorado. From both sections
come the most flattering reports.
The plant is an annual, with the
qualities of prolific and early
growth; and it possesses in a
: larger degree than any known
crop the quality of resisting the
: drouth. 1t is like the clover
family in as much as it feeds
upon the gases of the atmos-
, phere and does not tax the fer
|, tility of the soil for humus pulv-
erulents. In fact it brings tC
our silicious soils what is needed
to assist in ripening them for the
resistance of drouth. The mode
