There is nothing to indicate that

the pages of a note book which he
carried. Nothing more was found
to indicate anything of his home,
family or relatives.
A large number of persons called

that he had left his bedding and
clothing in lodging house in Boise.

ty suerintendent of schools, hes de-
cided to leave for Chicago in the

during her absence. Mrs. Cowen
through her connection with the
local schools and her familiarity
with school work in genei al will
have no trouble in taking over the

goes without saying.

HONORS FOR
EDWARD MASON
Mountain Home Boy Distinguished
With High ROnOrs at
School

Word reaches us that Edward
Mason, son of Rev. and Mrs. c. E.
Mason of the Congreg gational church,
has again been honored at Whit
man college where he has been a
student for the past three years.
Last fall we took great pleasure
in announcing his appointment as
editor of the college paper, which
is considered high ho.or. But
cow comes the information that he
has been chosen one of three from
a class of twenty students to deliver
the class oration at ment
in June. This is indeed a high
honor when it is considered that
in order to be eligible one must
have an average in all studies for
the year of n1nty per cent or better.
Mr.. Mason's average was OILY per
cent or only .05 per cent less than
the highest average of the class and
only very small percentage great
er than the one next in grade stand
ing.
This is considered the highest
nonor in the gift of the school and
has been wisely bestowed on a
young man who is in every way
worthy and well qualified to re-
ceived it. 1t is an honor bestowed
upon deserving and capable SUI
dent who has fulfilled every requir-
ment placed upon him. The honor
is given because of merit and is the
result of hard and conscientious
study, not pull or influence occs-
stoned by fraternal spirit or money
that is so often the case in like in
stances. Maverick takes this oc-
oasion to extend congratulations TO
Mr.. Mason in securing t7is high
mark of distinction and trusts il
may lead to other and new triumphs
to be met in the future.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM
BAD RAILROAD WRECK
Switch Engine at GIenns Ferry Runs Away
and Crashes into fdstbOund Pas
senger Train Number z

Saturday morning a switch en-
gine which the engine crew had
left standing on a side track, started
out of the Ferry yards ran through a
switch onto the main line and was
socn speeding west at a merry gait
toward passenger train number 2
which was due at Glenns Ferry
within few minutes after the en-
gine is supposed to have started
out. BY means of the system of
block signals in use for several
miles west of Glenns Ferry, the
engineer of the passenger train
was warned that the track was not
clear and brought his train to a
stand still. A flagman who was
sent ahead to flag the block dis
covered the switch engine ap-
preaching, and after an unsuccess-
full attempt to flag it he signaled
the engineer of the passenger train
which had started slowly ahead
and the train was again brought
to q standstill and both engin ecr
and fireman proceeded to jump
oft the engine and moment later
the switch engine which was run
ming at speed of about twelve
an hour crashed into the passenger
train damaging both engines con-
sidersbly and shaking up the occu-
pants of dining car which was
attached to the switch eng CINE.
AS result of the investigation
concerning the accident it was de
