Negro Ravisher in Idaho.
Preston Standard We have just
been informed of a shocking affair
that occurred near Soda Springs a
short time ago. The following ex-
tract from a letter received from
there by citizen of this place tells
the story:
1.-THE most dreadful thing hap
pened here last Friday that l ever
heard of in this part of the country.
Will Hopkins and wife were working
up at the sulphur mine. She was
cooking for the men and while Mr..
Hopkins was in town and the rest
of the men at work negro who
was working there went to the
house, choked her until she was
unconscious and then ravished her.
The men followed him and there
are threats of lynching if they catch
him. We read of such things in
other places but it never seemed
SO awful as it does happening right
at home like this.''
Bogus Check.
Caldwell Tribune: A man repre-

six hundred odd dollars at w. H.

proffered the check in payment.
While they were talking over the
matter a man came into the store
who knew Morgan, but unfortunately
knew him under another name.
Morgan left the store in hurry
and has not been seen since. The

have nothing to do with it.
