JACK DAVIS CASE.
Sensation Sprung Before Idaho Board
of Pardoua

The promised sensation in the
"Diamondfeld Jack" murder case
was sprung at Boise last Monday
before the Board of Pardons. II
was in every sense remarkable
defense that was made for the con-
demned man, another coming for
ward and claiming that be saw the
shooting, and that it was done by .
companion to save his life.
An affidavit from ]. Z. Bower,
an employe of the Sparks Herrell
Cattle company, was presented. In
this affidavit Bower asserts that he
and man named JEFF Gray went
to the sheep camp on the 4th Of
February and got in the wagon with
the men. A quarrel started, ono Of
the men becoming very angry and
attacking affiant. Bower attempted
to draw his pistol, but the herder
was getting it from him when Gray
| fired, the ball striking the herder
in the chin. No more shots were
fired. Bower and Gray went away,
and kept the information to them
selves, as they feared being killed
by sheepmen.
Bower was present and was ex-
amined orally by members of the
board. He did no: know that either
of the men had been fatally hurt.
The fact is that both were shot and
died, their bodies being found some
twelve days later. Bower offers no
explanation Of the other shots.
Gray is said to have left the coun.
TRY. Bower was arrested in Cassia
county last week and bound over

NOTES FROM sEAFoAM.
An Interview With Hon. Chas. Crane
Regarding the Bulldog 4ins.

The KEYSTONE was favored with
call Wednesday from Hon. Chas.
Crane, who had just arrived from
the Bulldog mine in Seafoam. In
an interview with the gentleman
we learned the following:
Mr.. Crane is on his way to Salt
Lake, having discharged his en-
ployees and closed up the mine for
the winter. He was unable to ship
cut any of the ore he has-some
400 sacks-owing to the packer,
one Jim Woods of Challis, lot full
filing his contract. 1t seems this
man Woods, who said he had forty.
odd mules, went TO the Bulldog
mine in August and there made
contract to pack out to Cape Horn
twelve miles, 1000 or more sacks
of Bulldog ore, staring IN Septem-
Der 1st. Mr.. Crane waited until
the 10th, but he not making his ap-
pearance, a man was sent to look
him up, when it was discovered that
| Woods only owned one sore-backed
mule, and was absolutely unrella-
ble. It was then too late for the
other packers to get up their mules,
az Woods had notified them that
he had the contract to pack the
Bulldog ore and they had turned
their animals out for the winter.
| Mr.. Crane feels indignant, and just
| " so, as he had already paid for
hauling the ore from Cape Horn to
Ketchum.
| Mr.. Crane left on our table fine
specimen Of Bulldog ore-a yellow
chloride-which assays over 25O
; ounces silver and 500 gold. He
reports that in running the tunnel
. they have struck q fine body Of
gray copper, in sulphide ore. the
extent of which he is unable to de-
termine, as he has not yet cross
