efforts to find the bodies of the two for
il was truly believed that they had been
murdered in the San Francisco noun
tains. Today Mrs. Armenia Penney, the
widow. received telephone message from
her son Edward. in which intelligence is
conveyed that the skeletons of two per-
sons have been found in the region where
in the Penneys are believed to have been
Slain- The message was brief, but it con-
tanned the assertion that portions of a
shawl known to have been in the pos
session of Penney and his son when they
started on their prospecting trip We're
found near the bones. Portions of the
harnesses OF the horses were also found,
1t was stated There seems little ques-
ton that the remains discovered in the
mountains are those of Penney and his
son.
After the Penneys had left home. and no
trace of them had been heard, a woman is
said to have stated to the authorities
that a man named Harper killed the two.
Harper was arrested, tried, but was not
convicted. Another man, whose name be-
came entangled in the affair, Is said to
have escaped to the southern frontier

PREECE GROWS FACET|OUS
Would Raise Pay of City Laborers
to Provide for Increased
Cost of Groceries.

Councilman j. H. Preeec Of the second
ward introduced a resolution in the
council last evening providing FOR ;ne in
crease of pay of the day libore~s en-
ployed by the city from 1926 to $50 a
day. The resolution reads as follows:
Whereas, winter is coming on al 4 the
necessaries of life, such as groceries and
provisions and meats. being so high and
coal costs from $3.50 to 81 a ton and the
owners of houses raising on rent all the
time;
Therefore be it resolved that the
laborers working for the city have taeir
wages raised from S2-25 TO $50 a d3y."
Councilman Black moved that this rhe-
tortcal gem be referred to the finance
committee.
Il want this to go to the finance ccn1-
mittee." declared FernstrOm. ''Preece is
in the grocery business himself and | see
he has named groceries as first among the
necessaries of life that have gone up IN
price. | want him to appear uCfOre the
committee and explain WHY this rise has
occurred"
Let's pass this now" said Barnes land
please Preece. The council has never
passed any of his resolutions yet, and /
think We ought to do something for him
before he goes out of office
a vote was taken and all but Council
men Barnes. Holley and Preece voted to
refer. Barnes and Preece are grocers and
HolleY IS a commission man.
In the course of his remarks on the
subject Councilman Fernstcom took oc-
casion to say that he would be Cor the
measure if it were not for the fact that
the American party had been so eXtraV-
agant with the city's funds that now it
would be Impossible TO do anything for
the laborers.
1T is the fault of the American party
that We cannot pass this resolution said
Fernstrom.

in the case of the state against Omer
Robertson, Justice Jones held Robertson
in a bond of 81, 500 to answer at preltm-
mary hearing to be held at Mammoth next

ing and beating Henry Mikesell in fist
fight in a saloon row at Robinson on Oct.

Mikesell died on Oct. II, in the hospital
at Salt Lake City, of blood poisoning.
Robertson's friends stoutly deny, as do
many of the witnesses to the affray, that
he was the aggressor in the fight and
claim that Mikesell, who was dealer in a
stud poker game, &rst arose In his chair
to commence the fight and called Rob-
ertson a - liar for saying that one of
the other parties sitting in the game had
flashed card to the dealer. Mikesell
was around after the scrap, among his
friends in the saloon as usual. but it is
said had been suffering from an liberated
jaw prior to the difficulty with Robert
son, which he appears to have neglected
until blood poisoning set in, with fatal
termination Outside of this trouble Mike
sell and Robertson were on friendly terms
and after the fight Mikesell drank with
Robertson at the bar, with the best of
feeling. Robertson furnished the bond
and was released pending the hearing.
