Fopr. Jr, who is now in the county jail
at Ellsworth under 5000 bail, awaiting
the action OF the grand jury on the charge
of periury for testifying that he assisted
william L. Treworgy move the body of
sarah Ware. the victim of the Buoksport
murder, and then retrscting his story,
now says that his first story was true.
This statement was the result of the afii-
davts made by Fogg's parents yesterday
that be told them of the moving OF the
body before the murder was known by
ailidnvits to Fogg in the presence OF the
Associated Press reporter today. AT tirst
Fogg said his father and mother had
sworn to u lie. Then he said he did not
remember whether he had told them CT
not. Having thus comm itted himself, be
asked to talk with Sheriff Hooper alone
and then told him in confidence that he
did help Treworgy move the body and did
tell his father and mother, and Joseph
Mink, before the body WAS discovered
He said ho retracted his story and MADE
himself perjurer under threats from
Interested parties. Fogg's retraetion OF
his first story removed the only incrlmi-
mating evidence against Treworgy and he
was admitted to bail. Fogg's latest story
takes the case back where 1t was before
County Attorney Bunker has been noti-
fled. and 1t is not known whether steps
will be taken TO have Ireworgy recon-
ntted TO Jail or not.

Nevada, Sept. 2.-The telephone war
in Nevada is now on. Yesterday after
noon sixty of the new phones Of the
Nevada Mutual Telephone Company
were put in position and connected up
ready for use. Within few days 1t is
hoped to have the entire system in sue

company was organized In Nevada by
some of our most prominent citizens
and is backed by a capital of $4,000.
Two things will contribute to its sue
cess: First, this is strictly home en-
tcrprise, and, as such, Is bound to re-
ceive local endorsement; second, the
rates are considerably cheaper than
those of the competing company, which
is an important factor.
