A remarkable story is told OF a
farmer who nves near nfracombe
who travelled to Exeter to see The
White Witch" respecting the death OF
three horses. The animals died in a
mysterious manner, in the first place
sitting on their launches, and Their
lying on their sides. Two veterinary
surgeons were unable to say what was
the nature of the disease. and, after
the death of the third horse, the farm
er made the Journey to Exeter. The
woman known as The White Witch
visited the farm, and told the man
that he had undoubtedly been witch,
ed" The farmer firmly believes that
such was the case. In answer to in
terrogations by a press man as to
whether he really believed in the
superstition, he replied definitely that
he was sure that it was right, adding.
'And it was a good job ! went, or

Big Wood River Project

Adding Men to the Construction
Crew Who Will Take out Rock
All Winter for the Great
Reservoir Dam.

w. B. Slick and w. E. Gray, of the
Slick contracting company, returned
Friday morning from Salt Lake, where
they had been on business for a day or
so. Mr.. Slick says that work is to be
carried on steadily on the Big Wood
river project, and that they will hardly
lay off their forces or even slacken
their gait all winter. Work will be
done on the open ditch, the straight
dirt excavation, until the ground freezes
up, after which they will put in all their
energies on the big reservoir. This
will be rock work, mostly, which can
be done almost as well in cold weather
as in warm, barring only the shorter
working day. They have been hiring
additional help, quite party of work
men having gone up to the camps this
week.
S. D. Boone, Charles Hernsheim and
probably some other stockholders of
the Idaho Irrigation company will be
here Sunday, having left New York on
Wednesday, bound for Shoshone. They
will be ready to push the development
of their project as never before.

ITALIAN WAS CRAZY.
Lost Friends and Went Daft Among
Total StraneerS.

A native son of sunny Italy had that
portion of the population of Shoshone
who were in the vicinity of the depot
thoroughly "buffloaed'' for several
hours last Sunday. He was one of a
gang of lately landed Italians who were
enroute for Miner and should have
changed cars at Mindoka, but becom-
ing separated from the band was
brought on to Shoshone. Upon alihgt-
ing from the train and finding himself
among strangers in a strange land his
mental equilibrium became seriously
disturbed, and when kindly disposed
gentleman started to approach him for
the purpose of rendering assistance that
settled it. Grabbing his baggage he
jumped from the depot platform and
stationed himself on the south side of
the main track where he had an unob-
structed view in all directions. A quick
motion on the part of any one or few
steps in his direction would cause him
beat hasty retreat up or down the
track. In fact, he was unapproacha-
BILE. Frequently thrusting his hand
into his pistol pocket created an impress
sion that he was armed and no one
seemed particularly anxious to court
very close acquaintainship with him.
Deputy Sheriff Murray was informed
that crazy man was parading up and
down between the. railroad tracks and
waiting until the Italians back was
turned Deputy Muar ay assi:ted by
commercial drummer made spring and
pinioned the fellows arms. A search
developed the fact that number of
ShoShoneiteS were unnecessarily
alarmed, as 80 cents in silver, go cents
in cents in coppers and a conductors
return check to Minidoka was all that
was found upon him. The fellow was
so frightened at finding himself separ-
ated from his companions for the first
time since leaving Italy that he dis
trusted every one.

FISH CULTURISTS.
Commission Investigating Blaine
County Hatchery Sites.

Governor Gooding, State Game Ward
en- Stephens and Robert Stiles, who is
to have charge of the proposed new
state fish hatchery, were in town
Thursday morning, on their way to
Blaine county, to look over some of the
proposed sites for the hatchery. They
will probably be back tonight, after in
specting the Blaine county locations.
Mr.. Stiles has had IA years experience
in the government fish hatchery SER
vice, having been stationed among
other places at Spearfsh, S. D., and
the celebrated hatchery at Bozeman,
Montana, under DR.. Henshall, the well
known authority. He will take charge
of the Idaho institution, which it is
to make second to none in the
United States in capacity and efficiency.
Warden Stevens says that up to date
the receipts from game licenses have
been far in excess of any other year.
More than 500, 600 has been received
from this source, besides the 20 per
cent commission allowed for the sale of
the licenses. 1t makes a total sale of
not far from S25, 900, with many more
to sell for big game hunting in the
early winter. The department has
been besieged by applications for
agencies, when under the old 10 per
cent commission it was hard to get
agents to handle the sale of licenses,
even perfunctorily Now they want
the agency, with exclusive territory,

Second-That by reason of such fail
ure to receive water at the beginning
of the irrigation season of 1907, we
suffered great losses and damage, as
per accompanying affidavits.
Third-Further, your order of March
9, 1907, gives notice that the first in
stallment for water rights will be-
come due on the first day of December,
1907, and now we therefore respect
fully request that before demand be
made for this payment you carefully
investigate the merits of our claims,
which will in due time be properly veri-
fled in detail by affidavits for your con-
sideration.
Fourth-That your predecessor in
Office made the following ruling, that
the first payment for water would be
due on the first of December following

rights becomes due as per Secretary
Hitchcock's ruling, as per circular of
Nov. 25, 1904.

QUICK WORK WITH THIEVES.
Only One Day Between the Crime
and the Pen.

detective w. Knowles, of the Oregon
Short Line, made a quick catch last
Sunday night at Bliss. For some time
back continuous complaints came to
the railway that grips and trunks in
its charge were tampered with and
small articles pilfered therefrom.
Special Agent Knowles was placed on
the job and succeeded in locating the
trouble at Bliss. Two operators there
had sets lof keys by means of which
they opened trunks and grips of travel
lers, taking out small articles such as
combs and toilet articles. The two
men gave their names as Martin Miller
and E. M. Cladfelter Last Sunday
night the officers raided their den and
landed the thieves in Jail, and capturing
their plunder. District court convened
the next day and the men plead guilty
and received sentence the Monday
following arrest.

The annual announcement of the
Shoshone Study Club is given to the
Journal this week with a just sense Of
pride in the enterprise of the ladies OF
the city who are thus interested not
only in their own individual upbuilding
but in aiding IN the education of the
entire city to the appreciation of the
higher walks of intellectual life. The
fact of there being such an oiganiza-
ton in our city indicates that dollars
are not the only incentives for action
in an Idaho city. 1t is a pleasure to
note also that the Shoshone club is but
one of a large number of similar clubs
in various parts of the state and in
proportion to its population it is doubt
full if any state can show a more active
interest among its women in the intel
lectual welfare of their respective COM
munities Give US more study clubs in
