CARSON NEws:--The Blayatsky So
ciety of England is still in CORES
pondence with Carson people con-
corning the footprints at the prison.
1t is the desire of the society to gain
control of them and excavate until
something psre is discovered. This
is a grand work and it is hoped
something viii be accomplished in
.this line before many years have
passed. 1t would probably be neces-
.sary for the State to grant the land
to tie institution and the Society in
turn to erect a new prison and the
walls to recompense the State.

THE reason Why the State tax rate
vas raised from 80 to 90 cents was
that late in the session one or two
appropriation bills were passed and
the levy had to be raised in order to
furnish the necessary amount to pay
them.

KENsLER MURDE II TRIAL.

On Monday next District court
will begin at Mountainhome for
the purpose of trying the murder
ers of John Kensler. 1t will be re-
memb ered that last October John
Kensler, a rancher living near
Glenns Ferry suddenly disappeared
from his home, his team wander.
ing over the prairie. For two
months no trace of biz: could be
found. The only grown persons
at home who must have known of
his disapI arance was his life, Josie
Kensler and the hired boy Alfred
Freel. They have both been ar
rested charged with the murder.
The day before Christmas Kensler's
body was found buried in an iriga-
ting ditch within fifty yards of his
house. He had evidently been
as his head was either
partly shot away or had been bat
tered in with an axe.
Since finding the boly the wife

that the boy Freel com
nitted the murder. This OF course
IS denied by the boy. Kensler was

DIAMONDFIELD JACK.

The spring term Of the District
Court of Cassia. county at Albion
has been occupied for the past two
weeks in the trial of Jack Davis
and Gleason, charged with the muir
der of the two sheep herders Will
son and Cummings.
Jack Davis, or "Diamondfield
Jack" as he is POLITICALLY called
has already been convicted and
Gleason is now on trial.
What has given such extraordi-
nary interest to this trial is the
fact that this murder grew out Of
the contentious of the cattle men
and sheep men to the use OF the
public range. There seems to have
been a tacit understanding between
these rivals to the use of the pub
lie range, that the shte } me n should
not cross certain line. This
agreement was broken by the sheep
men and several bands of sheep
had been taken across this immagi-
nary dead line. AS a result two
sheep herders were found dead in
their wagon, having apparently
been shot. Davis and Gleason
were COW boys and had made re-
peated threats against the sheep
men and they both fled from the
country after the murder was dis
covered.
Many of our citizens were wit
iesses upon one side or the other.

Kalahaka, in North Thessaly.
Kalabaka, although within the terri

the town, destroyed it.
