We are sorry TO say that the chief
occupation Of some of our people is
"tattling." We deeply sympathize with
those, who have no higher aim in this

IDAHO
his RECORD WEST
Knnnecke Was Suspected in Idaho
Of Putting a Man Out Of
the Way.
Alleged Crime Similar to One for
Which He Is Held at Fort
Pierre.

Special to The Journal.
Boise, Idaho, April 6.-William Kun-
necke, the sheepman under arrest at
Pierre, S. d. for the murder of Andrew !
Demler, sheep herder in his employ, for-
nlerly lived at Mountainhome, Idaho.
He left there in 1899 under very silspi- .
clous rcumstances. 1t was believed that
he was responsible for the mysterious dis
appearance of young man named Koen- !.
niger, who was a nephew of his wife and !.
was in his employ at the time as a sheep
herder.
Kunnecke came to Mountanhome In
1890. In 1894 he bought band of sheen.
which he herded himself, his wife acting
as camp tender. A year later Koeninger
came from Germany and entered his, em-
ploy. About year. and a half after Koen-
ingers arrival, Kunnecke made his ap-
pearance at Rocky Bar in quest of an
other sheep herder, saying that Koeninger
had returned to Germany. Later word
was received from the German consul at
Portland, stating that he had heard: from
the boys parents, who were very anxious
as to his whereabouts. They informed
the consul that Kunnecke owed the lad
$500, and that he had given him a note for
that amount. The consul demanded pay
ment on the note and Kunnecke disap-
peared. The feeling was strong that
koeninger had been murdered, and the
county commissioners offered a reward Of
$1,000 for evidence of his whereabouts. It
was the theory that Kunnecke had killed
| koeningcr to- avoid the payment Of the
| amount due Koeninger for his work.
| The last time the boy was seen alive
was at Trinity Lakes. Shortly before
Kunnecke left he went to junction Bar
and procured a saddle horse, saying he
was going to Rocky Bar, He did not go
there, however, and it is believed he went
| to, Trinity Lakes for the purpose of re-
moving any evidence that might be found
of the commission Of the murder.

through which the impure water is thor
oughly filtered. The average wash water
used in Iowa creameries has been found
to contain from 5000 to 100000 germs to
the cubic centimeter, and the only method
for purification heretofore has been by the
process of pasteurization, which is ex
pensive and almost impra cticable.
Water taken from shallow wells in

BY the installation of such a plant, in

the department that the keeping qualities

tested by the city officials to bring an
action of Impeachment against the whole
