HORRIBLE MURDER
AT GLENNS FERRY.
YOUNG Man Killed and Body Thrown Into
Box Gar and Set Afire Parties
Held for Crime.

Glenhs Ferry was the scene of
unusual excitement last Saturday
morning when the news of most
horrible crime that had been COM
mitted at the railroads yards was
rapidly circulated through the
town. g
Benjamin Davis, a young man
who in company with fellow trav-
eler was working his way toward
the west, was murdered early in the
morning in a most grewsome and
atrocious manner.
He was probably shot and recent
Investigations have revealed the tact
that his body was terribly mangled
and then carried TO box car and
thrown inside. The car was set
on fire and an attempt to entirely
! obliterate all evidences of the crime
was made, but the fire was discov-
cred and the fire alarm turned in
which brought the local fire depart
ment to the scene of action and
in very short space of time the
tire was extinguishcd, but not un-
til the body was almost entirely
consumed by the flames. The body
was found lace downward with very
little senblance for recognition or
identification. Several articles were
found in his pockets but none lead
TO his identity, until the remains
of letter in his vest pocket freSn
his father made known his name
and former home. The letter was
from his father and stated that he.
had sent him some money which
he would receive at Huntington.
Had it not been for this letter the
chances are that the remains
would never have been identified.
Benjamin Davis came from Ir-
vington, Ohio, and in company
with young companion by the
name of Arthur Hales, were on
their way to the Pacific coast, and
stopped off at Glenns Ferry for the
. night. They fell in with. gang
of hoboes whom it is supposed COM
mitted the crime.
What motive the murderers could
have in putting him out of the way
: is not known and is causing consid-
cradle speculation. Ii was e -
ally known by his CO.. aioAs
I that he had no .uon-g ~a4 vas

Unusual interest is manifest this
year in the coming fair. Attrac-
tions are being advertised for and
many Of the best features on the
fair circuits are already booked.
Secretary Purtill is working on the

courage the hottest competition in
all-. departments. And it may be
well to state at this time that
the association paid every premi-
urn and purse offered last year
and not one dollar was withheld
whatsoever. This is certainly a
record that will induce those hav-

them at the Elmore County Fair

THE CURTIS SCALE
fndanqers Orchards. Formula For
It's Destruction.

j
tt,ral inspector, was in this vicinity
last week inspecting the orchards
and looking up any insect that may
be wrecking damage 10 the fruit
trees at this time. In one orchard
he discovered that the Curtis scale
was getting good start and unless f
means we're taken TO check this de- |,
structive little insect, much dam
age would result in the future. Mr.. 4
Whitlock said that the Curtis scale
resembled the San Jose scale and
was as destructive when once 1t got
possession of an orchard. he
time TO spray the fruit trees for
this insect is in the spring when
the .trees are bare of all foliage and
Just before the breeding season
He left the following formula to be
used in spraying, the trees during
the dormant. season foi the scale:
Formula
Salt 10 lbs
Sulphur 20 lbs.
Unslacked lime 40 lbs.
Water 90 gals
For a greater or less quantity
the ratio would be l ID. salt, lbs
sr1hpur, lbs. lime, TO every 8 gall
lops of water. =
Directions Place 20 gallons of
water in a boiler and heat to a
boiling point (The amount OF
water should be varied according to
the size Of the boiler.) While this
is being done, palce the lime, sol
phur and salt in large barrel oil
vat and slack the lime by adding
water in sufficient quantity tC
do so properly, keeping it wei
stirred, mixing the lime, sulphu
: and salt thoroughly. When thi
operation is completed add enough
water to the contents of the barre
!, or VAT to reduce it to somew h a
thick liquid and strain the mixtur
: in to the boiler. Common wir
, window screen netting fastened I
a wooden frame is best. Boil tn
), mixture for one and one half hours
, or longer. When ready for us
p dilute with enough water to max
90 gallons. Use this spray hot, Z
, better results Are obtained:
, In extreme oases of scale tw
p sprayings, a fe y days apart, shoul

Note-Salt is not used in III
\ above formula as necessary ingr'
, dent, but is added for the purpo:

Mountain Home and Garrett.

This old town is growing rapidly
and many splendid. new business
houses and residences have been
built this year or are in process OF
construction The man who is
responsible for this growth is John
Garrett. Mountain Home and Gar
rett- are synonymous terms. Six
years ago he landed there with
unboundcd enthusiasm and push
and st ying qualities. He saw the
possibilities of that vast stretch of
rich farm land if water could be Sc
cured for it. There is no stream uf
any consequence near there to draw
upon. So he conceived the idea of
building storage reservoirs in the
mountains and he succeeded in in
teresting Eastern capital in the pro-
iect. Three large reservoirs now
conserve the i tier floods for the
use of the husbandman in the sum
mer and large tract of land ha:
been transf ormed from a sagebrusf
desert to an immense fruitful field
1t was John Garrett's grit and pusf
that did all this. He is man whC
does things, and he seems to be ap
preciated- His faith and public
spiritedness is catching, and today
every Mountain Home man
woman and child has caught th'
contagi ion and is a unit for th'
) upbuilding of the town and coun
