OBJECT TO TAXES
Twin Falls Land & Water Co Object
to Paying Taxes on their Canals.
VIII go to Court.

E..B. CritclIlow is in the city
from Twin Falls to attend to bust
ness in the federal court today.
He stated last evening the Twin
Falls Land & Water company
would go into court to contest the
assessment Of its canal in Cassia
county. The canal was assessed
at 100000. A protest .was filled
with the board, but the assessment
stands on the rolls.
The ground upon which the as
sessmcnt will be contested is that
the project is state enterprise,
the company being merely the
agent of the latter. These lands
arc granted TO the state by the
general government, the former
contracting to reclaim them. The
state entered into a contract with
the canal company to erect the
necessary works for placing water
on the land, and the entire pro-
iect remains under the direct di-
rection of the state. Under these
circumstances, it is held, the canal
works cannot be legally assessed.
If the courts should decide the
assessment is not legal. it would
leave Cassia county inan awkward
predicament. The assessment OF
the state for the year has been
equalized and the apportionment
lis made on last years assessnNent
but the assessment of this year will
have to be used next year in max
ing s3n appertionment, and, 4 the
assessment should be knocked out,
the remainder of the property OF
the county would have to make up
the proportion of state taxes re-
presented by the invalidated assess
ment, unless it were found the
state beard were authorized to
take cognizance of the decision

w. L. Clouser of HALEY, went tc
Chicago several weeks ago to pur.
chase stock of shoes which he in.
tended placing in one of the new
towns on the Twin Falls tract
While there he met Boyer and
Chidester, who had gone from
Bliss withsheep.
Mr.. Clouser was not we'll ac-
quainted with either of the boys
but as Chidester had not been away
from home very often and was un-
used to the ways of a city he want
ed Mr.. Clouser to stay with them.
At about two O'Clock Wednesday
afternoon, Mr.. Clouser suggested
that they visit one of the amuse-
ment parks on the south side of
the city. They remained here un-
til after 10 o'clock that evening
and Mr.. Clouser states that neith-
er the boys we're intoxicated, Boy
er only drinking two glasses Of
beer and Chidcster a milk-shake
and a lemonade.
When they arrived at the hotel
where the boys were stopping Child
ester asked Mr.. Clouser to come
to their room and sleep with them,
stating that while there was only
one bed in the room it was large
enough for three. He declined
to do this however, and: told them
that he would see them in the
morning and they would leave to-
gether Thursday evening for Ida
no.
The boys told Mr.. Clouser that
they were going direct to. bed, so
he bid them goodnight and went

men went to their room on the
sixth floor.
Bower and Chidester came to
Chicago with C. E.. Gridley, one
of the wealthy sheep ranch owners
of Idaho, who brought train
load of sheep to the Chicago Stock
Yards. The boys came with him
to see the city. Last night they
went to South Side amusement
park and returned late in the eve-
ming. They went to Boyer's room,
Chidester was his guest and not
registered.
Shortly before 10 o'clock to-day
Clouser went to the hotel to get
his transportation from Chidester
Iand went directly to the room.
The door be says, was unlocked
and he entered. The room was
filled with gas. Boyer was lying
beside the bed, half kneeling in an
attitude OF prayer and partly
dressed.
Chidester war undressed and ly-
ing on the floor near the bed. The
room was in order. A gas jet was
wide open and a stream OF gas
pouring into the room.
The Harrison Street and Cen
tral Police Station were notified
and the bodies of the young men
were taken TO Rolston's undertake
ing establishment at Harrison
street and Wabash avenue.
According to the statement OF
Clouser and Gridley the young
men seemed in good health, but
Chichester, they say, became home
SICK and spoke of a girl he knew
In Idaho. He said he wanted to
go home and planned to return to
day.

Otto Boyer, abeu t"culy -oii'
wears, and William Chidester,
twenty years old, chums, and the
sons of ranch owners in Bliss Ida
ho, were found dead in a room in
the Grace Hotel, Jackson boule-
yard and Clark street, today, un-
der circumstances so mysterious
that rigid investigation is being
conducted.
A theory entertained at first
that the younger of the two young
men might have been responsible
for the double tragedy has given
place to new theory by the police.
This is that the chums may have
been drugged and that they after
wards succumbed to the fumes OF
escaping gas in their room.
The police are seeking two wo-
men who ma y solve the mystery.
w. L. Clouser, friend of the
boys, declares his beiiefin theory
however, that the boys did not
commit suicide, but that their
death was caused by other persons.
II have the name OF a person
that intend to give to the Coron-
sr to-day" he said. II believe
that investigation of this case will
develop a sensation"
When the bodies we're searched
at the undertaking establishment
-f6awElcR theywcrs taken it Was
discovered that there was not a
cent in the pockets of Boyer's
clothing. He was known to have
had a valuable watch in his pocket
the day before and also at least
$40 in money. No pawn tickets
were found in his pockets and it is
declared by Clouser that this con-
firms the theory he entertains that
the boys did not die by their own
hands or through an accident.
The police Immediately upon
discovering the fact that Boyer's
watch was missing began search
for it, beliving that the recovery of
the ystch will give a clew to the
boys movements during the night
and possibly will supply ciew to
the reason for their deaths.
From Clouser and the hotel
people the police received the de-
criptions and information regard
ing two mysterious women that
accompanied the young men when
they returned to the hotel a short
time before midnight. The wo-
men left the hotel before the young

to his hotel several blocks farther
down the street.
As he had left !. his valice and
pass with Boyer and Chidester nc
went to the hotel the next morn
ing to get them SOFAS to close his
business affairs before leaving. On
inquiring he was told that the
boys had not come down from
their room, and as it WAS after
nine o'clock he thought that he
had better call them. He went
up to the room and knocked on
the door, but receiving no answer
called to them saying that it was
late and if they wanted to 60
home that day they ought to get
up; as there was still no answer he
tried the door and finding it I'M
locked entered with the results
stated above.
When relating the scene to a
Journal reporter Tuesday, Mr..
Clouser stated that while he had
his own opinion on the matter he
was unable to say just what hap
pened.
"There are sevral very queer
circumstances about the case
which, | fear, Will never be fully
explained. as to the two women in
the case I do not think the boys
had any thing to do with them.
When we were talking in the hotel
Wednesday evening couple OF
women came up and one of them
spoke to Boyer for few minutes
but I don't believe he knew either
of them. AS | had a considerable
amount of money with me they
might have been trying to get it
but as | did not stay with the boys
they did not know where | was, or
maybe got mixed up on the party.
"As to the money the boys had
it was only $3.50. but this vas
missing. Before we started forthe
amusement park, Wednesday even
ing Chidester borrowed $3.50 from.
one of the boys there from Idaho,
and / know that this WAS all the
money they had. While in the
park / Itfeated the boys to every
thing and they only spent 20 cents
of their money, but if the boys
went directly to bed when l left
them that evening, and they said
they were. the rest of their money
money must have been stolen.
"The paper states that. Boyer's
watch was stolen, but this is not
true as Boyer had no watch
with him.. l am taking Chides-
ter's watch to his parents at Cary
In concluson Mr.. Clouser said
al would give $4,000 to have the
mystery cleared"
