letter to the quarantine officer, pro-
tecting against allowing the cruiser

TACT OF the cruiser having been used as

indicating fear that she may be in
fected with yellow fever or other con-
tagious disease. The quarantine officer
does not approve the boards action,
which is severely criticised. and has

After Many Years

The Pearl correspondent of the
Idaho Horldhas the following:
Zone of George Melrose's little
girls took a stroll over the grass
clad hills and came to hole that
had been washed out by water.
There the child saw some bones
projecting from a bank on VIII
low creek, about four miles below
Pearl. She pulled one of the
bones out and carried it TO her
father who pronounced it por-
ton of human skull. 1t includ-
ed a part of the iawbone with
teeth intact. He procured some
tools and went to the place and
after digging a short distance
found another skull together with
many bones. 1t is evident that
the bodies had been dumped into
