War has been officially declared
between Greece and Turkey and
there is desperate fighting on. both
sides. Turkey is by far the largest
Of the two powers, but the Greeks
are the best fighters. The Turkish
army comprises about 100000 men
and the Greek army only abou,
10000. 1t is claimed while tn.
land forces of Turkey outnumber
the Grecian forces, the Greek navy
is superior to that of Turkey which
gives the Greeks q decided advan
tage on the water. The great powers
of Europe are certain to become in.
volved, as nearly all of them want
a slice of Turkey. and tho ambition
Of Russia for generations has been
to get possession Of Constantinople
so that its war vessels can pass from
the Black Sea to the Mediterranean.
Such war, while it would cause
great misery in the countries where
it is waged, would be great benefit
to the United States. The demand
for wheat already has advanced the
price OF it several cents a pound.

News From johannesburg.

Mrs. P. P. Baxter handed the
KEYSTONE an interesting letter
which she received this week from
Mrs. Chris Johnston written at 10.
hannesburg where Mr.. Johnston is
superintendent of a large silver
mine. Mrs. Johnston writes tina,
her husband had been offered O sal
airy of 1900 year to take charge
of some mining property in New
Mexico, and perferred going there.
but was advised by his friends to
accept the position at johannesburg
not only OH account of there being
much larger salary attached, but
that the opportunities for making
money to one in such a position
were so great that the salary of his
office was of minor importance.
In reference to the financial con,
dition of that part of the world
Mrs. Johnston says:
There is a great deal of distress in this
country through mines closing down. So
many have been worked that did not paw,
and now that money cannot be raised in
stock dealing, work has stopped and
thousands of men are out of employ ment.
Our mine has plenty Of ore and pays a
monthly profit, therefore work will con
tinue on it,, but those that do not pay
are shut down just as they were in Idaho.
From the letter we learn that i,
is the intention of Mr.. Johnston
TO return to Wood River whenever
it ia practical for him to do so, and
work his mines at Sawtooth and
Bonanza.

HELD ON SUSPICION.

Peter Bons, a tramp, is locked
up in the county jail and circum-
stantial evidence points strongly
to him as the man who murdered
Pearl Morrison. He tells a very
plausible story, however, which
the closest questioning local
talent ca pour into him
fails to shake. Bons is a
typical tramp both in dress and
manners, and the pair of hands
which he carries about with him
are unmistakable evidence of his
aversion for work. His nerve is

where she stopped for a time
and talked with the girls there.
Before leaving home, Pearl
told her folks that she intended
to go berrying the following day,
and so. when she got down just
below the sand cut on the West
ern road, she turned off on by
path and went over the hill to
the cemetery. Her tracks are
plainly visible in the sand along
this route and they show that
she went up as far as the GENE
terry, where she turned and cut
across from the Mansfield road
to the old Blaney road. Just as
she was passing onto the latter
rad she was met by Mrs. John
Gersky, who, with her mother
and several children, were out
picking berries. Mrs. Gersky
spoke to Pearl but received no
reply. This was the last time
she was seen alive. From where
she struck the road, her tracks
in the sand indicate that she
passed down the road as far as
Blaney Creek. This creek is
not over half mile from the old
ball ground and the road to it is
a very lonely one-a place,
it seems, fitted by nature for
the preparation Of such das-
tardly crime. After reaching
the creek she turned and came
back on the road about fifty
rods and it was at this place
that the body was found.

THE FIND.

In the meantime tramp came
to the Brooks residence, near the
Western location, and gave a
small copper breast pin with a
tiny American flag in it to one of
the Brooks girls, saying that he
got it off the dead body of a girl
that was laying over across the
hill. He asked the girls to go
with him and he would show
them the place. They hesitated
at first but finally consented to
go with him to the place he in
Dictated. He took them over and
showed them the corpse and
they FASTENED back to notify the
officers when they met the adj
vance members OF the searching
party and conducted them to
the spot. About thirty feet
from the road, in a clump of
bushes, and shaded by a large
pine stump lay the body of the
dead girl. There was a small
hole in the ground and the body
had been thrown into it, which,

view. The searchers had passed
within ten feet of it during the
morning without seeing it, and
the judgment of all is, that only
a miracle would bring it to the
attention of person that did
not know it was there. One
look was enough To CONVINCE the
most obdurate that it was a case
of outrage and murder.
The clothes were badly torn,
showing that the Y il had not
accomplished his purpose with
out a struggle. The gloves
worn by the girl were torn into
shreds, and the underclothing
was torn from the body. The
body was badly bruised, and
blood was oozing from the mouth
and ears. The tongue protruded
from the mouth and the condi-
ton of the face and neck showed
that she had been strangled to
death.

sary trouble. Mr.. Morrison
started out to hunt her up, how
ever, and was out most of the
night, returning to the Western
location at daybreak next morn
ing, where he searched until
about 5 o'clock when he came to
town and asked for help. A
number Of men and boys started
for the other side of the river
and they searched until noon,
when things began to look so
serious that they returned to
town and organized a searching
party. About fifty men were
gathered together and they re-
paired to the old ball ground to
organize.
