fully decorated with evergreen and

Mrs. H. S. Whetsell, of Kingwood.

Oakland, officiated.
The bride was dressed in hand

ton, Gertrude and Katie Scherr. of
Keyser, and Nora Lantz, of Aurora.
The ushers were Messrs. Ernest Bush,
Arnold A. and Henry l.. Scherr, of

sembled at the large residence of the
brides parents were a bountiful col
lation was served. The presents were
quite numerous, composed of nearly
everything useful as well as ornamen-
tai.
AT ten o'clock the couple was
driven to Oakland where train No. 4
was taken for trip through the
South. Upon the return to Oakland
Mr.. and Mrs. Renninger will go to

Weiser Too Heavy for the Boys up at

FIVE HUNDRED SEE GAME.
Several of the Players Slightly Injured How
it All Happened

Weiser is certainly in the swim
this year. Besides having the best
amateur base hall nine in the state,
it seems we have the hest foot ball
team in these parts. Boise recently
announced that her team would play
any other team for the state cham
pionsip. The Weiser high school
knights of the grldiron went up to
the capital last Thursday and took
the starch out of the Boise kickers
The Statesman gives the following
account of the game:
The colors of the rival teams
white and blue for Weiser and red
and white for Boise-were in evil
dence very much all day, the former
a little more so after the game.

people were on the ground. Every

them Three men, two of whom
were Jim Fuller and Tom Black who
live at Emmett, were returning from
a trip to Montana and had camped
over on the further side of the Penn
Basin where they ran onto the trail
of large band of cattle. Wonder
ing what cattle were doing in that
almost impossible country, they fol
lowed it and came upon Laing The
whole outfit was there with the ex-
ception of few head of stock, stray
ed or died, and Schodell The fol-
lowing is Laing's story as told these
men,
Schodell had led them further and
further into the mountains reiterat-
ING his assurances that they would
soon come to the auxlously- sought
valley. One day he pointed down a
long, narrow ravine and told Laing to
follow it to the end and there the
entrance to the "Promised Land"
would be found. He himself would
ride around another way, to prospect
for the gold mine, so he said, and
would join the party before night.
That was the last ever seen or heard
of Schodell. He vanished complete
ly. Laing went as directed only to
find that he had run into pocket
out of which he could get only by
retracing his steps For weeks he
and his family wandered about the
mountains as completely lost as though
in the wilds of Africa. The very fact of
one man having to load and unload a
pack-train of seventeen animals every
day was in itself enough to discourage
the most sanguine. Laing had, indeed,
about given up hope Of getting out
at all, at least with any of his cattle,
when he met Fuller and his friends.
Tile meeting resulted in the purchase
of the stock and the setting of Laipe
on the trail out to Montana. He
said that he did not want to 90 back
to Paddock Valley.
The mystery of the plot is, WhaT
did Schodell expect TO profit by his
actions? Did he want to run away
with the daughter, or did he expec
Laing to get lost, abandon the cat
tie, and then he-Schodell-coul(
run them out some place and sci
them?
The puzzle is yet to be guessed.

means for making a good game and
a good ground had been adopted,
the ground properly marked, so the
only thing TO 90 was to win or lose
1t was pretty game, strong game,
a well-played game.
The Boise boys were outclassed,
but this does not in the least detract
from the very excellent work Of the
visitors, who played together as II
man. When one of them started to
make an individual play he was
backed by the home team to the
limit of every man This was seen
in the goal made by Will Sommer-
camp, when he ran with the ball
nearly half way across the field, in
the fact of a great deal of opposition,
but was so well seconded by his team
that he made one of the most brilliant
plays of the entire game without
trouble. And again, whenever Lans-
don, Weisers captain. started for a
gain he was furthered to the utmost
by his team-indeed, their work
was so excellent as to call forth en-
comiums from all assembled They
were in good practice, not soft
man among them, while the Boise
boys were not in, such trim, as was
seen by the number put out, though
it Is more than probable that some OF
the "knockouts" on both sides were
simply for wind. The ball was
punted but little, all the gains being
made by solid, hard work. Th'
rushes and other hurricane features

Development at Iron Mountain of a

ed some fine samples of ore from the
new development on the Last Chance
mine at Iron Mountain. This mine
has been taken hold of by Weiser
business men and two shifts have
been working since September 1st.
The tunnel is now IN $50 feet and
has cut the vein matter at 125 feet
depth. At t174 feet decomposed ore
matter was encountered assaying 3
per cent copper; six feet of this has
been passed through and the foot
wall of a large vein met. The
samples are from this and assay
per cent copper, with enough gold
and silver to bring the value up to
$50 per ton. The vein has not yet
been crosscut, but it is expected to
reach the hanging wall in the next
80 feet and high grade ore is ex-
pected. BY March 1st. this property
will be good producer.

Strange Adventure of late Washing

VICTIM OF A FORKED TONGUE.
Paddock Valley Farmer and His Family
Deserted in the Mountains by "Slickn
Dutchman
Payette Independent.

Payette Independent.
Just about one year ago there
showed up at various ranches on the |
upper Willow creeks and Paddock
Valley young man who gave his
name as Carl Schodell. He claimed
to be buckaroO, horse tanner, an
expert at handling sheep, a veteran of
the Spanish war, an eX-Rough Rider
and many other things too numerous
to mention. He had several scars
on his body which he claimed to be
the result of wounds received in the
charge up San Juan Hill. Among
the places at which he worked were
the Pence Bros ranch and Emory
Tindle's sheep camp. For some
time his assertions were believed and
he was made much of; but it was
ultimately discovered that he told
one man one thing and another man
something else, and he was set down
as cheerful liar as ever spun a yarn
or told tale. Unfortunately he
found one man who believed in him,
and it is due to that misguided trust
that this story is told. Schodell
spent nearly all the time that he was
not at work at the ranch of A. e.
Laing in Paddock Valley, and it is
said, paid matrimonial attentions to
Laings daughter.
The following is what he told
Laing. He and partner had enlist
ed in the Rough Riders from this
state, having before that time spent
considerable period in prospecting
for stock ranges and for mineral in
the mountains lying between Long
Valley and Payette Lakes and Sal
mon river. In the neighborhood of
the Hot Lake and Penn Basin they
had found mountain-locked valley
of several thousand acres in extent,
rich in feed, and to which there was
only one entrance and that known
only to himself and partner. 1t was
a narrow pass through rim rock cap
able of admitting but one animal at
a time, and was easily concealed or
blocked up. His partner was killed
in the battle of Ell Caney, and on his
deathbed confided to Schodell that he
had discovered gold placer near
this valley-a fact that he had before
kept secret-bequeathed Schodell
several nuggets as large as walnuts
and a map which would enable him
to find the spot All of this and
more Schodell poured into Laing s
o-willing ear until he finally per-
suaded him to sell his ranch in Pad
dock Valley, put all his household
goods on pack-horses, and together
with his family and all his live-stocs
strike out for the "Promised Land. -
Scbodell was to show the road, share
the oasis in the mountains and the
gold mine with the old man, ant
marry the daughter. The outht con

and seventeen pack horses, Laing
