PAT MURPHY STILL ALIVE
Case Of Mistaken Identity in Body
Found Near Elmira

The body of a man supposed to
be that of Pat Murphy was found
near Elmira the last of April and
was buried near that place at
county expense. Sheriff Doust
and Undertaken Brown and others
viewed the remains and the iden-
THY seemed to have been complete,
but, nevertheless, it turns out to be
mistake. Pat Murphy has
turned up at his old home at
Amigo, Wis, where he has a wife,
two sons and a daughter whom he
had not seen for II years. lie
was sent home from Great Falls
by Andrew Murphy, a brother, and
was met at Amigo by his two sons
and is receiving the best OF care,
although a very sick man.
These statements are made to
clear up newspaper report made
at the time in one of the county
papers to the effect that Murphy
had been at the county poor farm
and that he had been allowed to
/ die of neglect by wealthy relatives.
Thomas G. Murphy, a son OF T.
i II. Murphy, Tor Pat, as he was
( Familiarity called) visited this
office yesterday, and presented
letters from relatives at Libby
h Great Falls and Amigo to prove
the facts as above stated. He is
timber cruiser and has been
located at this place for some
time. He says he took his father
to Spokane for medical atten'
ton in February and remained
with him for month at Spokane
and Elk.
p. II. Murphy owns three quar-
ter sections of valuable timber
land near Libby. He was wei
known at Libby and Standpoint
| having been in this country TO
the past ten years. Those VIII
knew him will be agreeably sur
prised to know that he did no
meet the sad fate reported an
that he is alive and at home.
| The facts, however, leave an IN
solved mystery as to who tn
stranger was who was fund dea
| in the woods near Elmira.

State Land Commissioner Here


Charles ]. Munson, state land
commissioner, is ip Bonners Ferry
and will remain several days. He
is familiarizing himself with the
states interests in this locality.
he reports business rather quiet
in his depArtmentthis year. The
action of the national government
in tieing up large areas in forest
reserves is preventing the state
from making selections to fill out
its grants, as there are no lands
outside the reserves hardly worth
selecting. About all that his de-
partment is doing IS to look after
the leasing business and list lands
for timber or agricultural sale. 1t
is proposed to have a sale in Bon
ner county sometime this fall.
Anyone desiring lands listed
should write him at Moscow.
Mr.. Munson has made a splendiC
Showing in his department during
the past two years. More revenu
has come into the school fund
from the land department in tn
past two years than in all tn
, period since statehood.

from his home on the Yahk
meadows last week. Wright lives

mountains about 40 miles fyom

by trail which leads to what is
known as the Big Meadows the
home OF big game and noted for a
fine fishing resort. He reports
that a trapper caught and killed a
bear this spring, near his place
that was certainly a freak. II
weighed about 800 pounds ant
was black and white in color, The
two colors being about equally
distributed over its body. Nothing
like il has ever been seen by ole
trappers and they are at a loss t
account for it. The hide is to b
seen at the ranch of Pete Wis

Will Test Sunday Rest Law

The Sunday rest law is to be
tested as to its constitutionality.
A test case will be made in Boise.
A dozen or more of Boise business
men, cigar men and theatre men
have combined for that purpose.
The plan is to have one Of their
number arrested and take the case
into court before Judge Wood on
an agreed statement of facts. 1t
is believed an early decision can
be secured. The opponents of the
law have retained c. @. Cavsnah
lawyer of ability and a member
of the last legislature. Mr.. Cav
anah feels confident he can wiz
the case.

Shall We Celebrated

1t is time the citizens of Bon
ners Ferry were making prepara-
tions for the 4th, If they intend to
have a celebration this year and
we assume that they do. We
should profit by the experience of
last year and notput off the pre-
parations until TOP near the event.
We have no suitable grounds at
present for holding the celebration,
at least NJ place fos race course.
1t is time that meeting was held
to consider these matters and to
appoint committees to make pre-
parations.
The HERALD would suggest
that il is time that the town
should secure a tract of ground for
a public and permanent park and
recreation ground Enough money
has been expended in the past for
temporary race eouis to have
enabled the town TO own a park
by this time. This is IA good tine
to make the start and it ought to
be made in time for this years
celebration.

EATABLES ARE
NOT ROT1INC
R. n Wright Denies Report
That Food for Poor
Going to Waste

A misunderstanding has arisen over
the reported storage of eatables and
clothing which were placed in the
basement of the Whitman school
building by Superintendent R. N.
Wright.
The report was to the effect that
public school children had been re-
Quested to bring food and clothing that
might be distributed to the poor of
the city Immediately preceding
Thanksgiving and that the food was
spelling because of nondistribution.
Articles were contributed by the
score. They were distributed as need
ed among the poverty stricken. and so
much had been brought that it was
necessary to store it for supplying the
future needs Of the families.
"The distribution of the food and
clothing was placed in the charge of
a committee composed of a member
Of each church Of the city. the person.
mel of the committee being Mesdames
Wildenthaler, Shildts. Ingram, Colby.
and Mcfarland. The report that the
articles which are perishable are rot
ting is erroneous" said Superintendent
Wright this afternoon
A meeting Of the committee was
held yesterday. No families have been
brought to the knowledge OF the COM
mittee who are in need of assistance
1t is proposed that the articles Of cloth
ing and canned fruit be turned over
to the Salvation Army.

PAY HEED TO
VARSITY NEEDS
Friends Working for Funds
to Rebuild Moscow
School

BOISE, Idaho. Feb. by the
friends of the State University q great
deal of attention is being given to the
subject Of raising funds for the pur-
pose of rebuilding. 1t transpires that
the executive committee Of the board
Of regents. At its recent session, de-
$4,000. and for special levy of
three fourths of a mill for two years
for building and equipment purposes.
They estimate that, the levy would
raise 100000, making a total Of 1885,
900. That, it Is estimated, would COM
plete all but one wing Of the struc-
ture. for which $4,000 or $4,000 more
will be needed, to be provided for
later on.
Friends Of the university feel that
no mistake should be made, and a
great many of them think that the
complete restoration should be pro-
vided for at this time. For that rea-
son 1t is claimed by these that the
! special levey should be extended be-
yond the two years so that the entire
amount may be provided for.
Want Work Completed.
1t Is pointed out that the people are
anxious to have the work completed
to have the university equipped as
we'll as before the fire-and that they
will not object to such a tax as shall
be necessary. The time to strike is
now. they say so that the state shall
know that the restoration is provided
! for.
1t Is further claimed that, IL the
matter Is left open the right Of way
of the university may be seriously
challenged two years hence-that
other demands for money may cause
the great institution to be stood aside
with its main building still uncompet-
ed for two or four years longer
State Pride Involved.
There Is no doubt that the people
OF the state as whole desire to have
the university provided for That
feeling has been entertained ever since
the disastrous fire which crippled the
| institution.
IT was deepened by the splendid
student body, and by the people OF
spirit shown by the faculty, by the
MOSCOW at the time Of the fire.
In the hour of that disaster state
pride In the university was deepened
| and stirred as 1t never had been be-
fore and 1t is manifested now all over
the state by the desire to see the in
sdtution put upon its feet as prompt
! ly as possible.
