DIED OF PNEUMONIA.
v. R. c. Johnston, Idaho Pioneer,
Closes His Earthly Career.

W. R. Johnston, an old timer Of this
section Of Idaho, died Thursday night
here in the city, after an illness Of only
three or four days. He had hard fall
a week before, injuring one of his legs
quite severely. Shortly after, he con-
tracted pneumonia, which took him eff
with little warning.
Mr.. Johnston was one Of the earliest
settlers of this part Of the state. He
was originally from the South Mississ-
ippi as nearly as nearly as can be lear--
ed. He has followed mining and trap
ping, and last fall was ore Of the state
hunters. He owned some valuable min
ing claims in Blaine county, which he
believed would make him a fortune
some day. Ho also had a ranch there,
on Little Wood River. He leaves one
daughter, Mrs. Clutches, who has been
making her home in Boise. She arriv-
ed in Shcshone this morning, to look
after her fathers affairs.

DIDN'T Do IT A-PURpOSE.
Bad Weather Responsible for Light
and Power Shortage.

The Journal does not offer it as a
kick but as an explanation to the many
who have been writing for the printing
ordered from the Journal office, that
the work has been delayed because of
several stoppages Of the electric plant
which supplies power for the printing
presses. Slush ice in the river has
been the cause Of the trouble.
In explanation the Journal is author
lied to state that Manager Pierce did
not do it a-purpose. Doubtless he was
more ehagrined than even the news
paper, or the sausage grinder that
would not grind, or the hundreds who
wanted lights and had to get them from
the dim but faithful candles. Mr.
Pierce worked faithfully to keep the
plant in running order and succeeded
very well indeed. But not having full
control Of the weather ne couldn't be
right sure how things were going to
turn out-until they had turned out,
bad.

AN ANIMATED GRAVEYARD.
Ill-Bred Swine Bumped Off StrubIe
FamiIy'S Prize Rooster.

J. c. Struble has returned from a
weeks visit at his home in Hepburn,
where he says he had fine visit after
being so long away from his family.
There is one gloomy cloud in his sky,
however. He bought a prize winning
White Wyandotte cockerel, paying for
it large sum, believing that next
spring he would reap a harvest of
downy little Wyandottes, every one q
prize winner and worth several dollars
apiece. But he had failed to put up
signs. warning the fond and foolish
cockerel that the destroyer was awake
and looking for it, and to contract no
friendships. The prize
winner wandered daintily into the pen
with one of the swine, and sought to
strike up a Christmas acquaintance.
The swine thought high-priced chick
en- dinner was better than a spread of
turnips, apple cores and alfalfa, so pro-
ceeded to take in Mr. Cockerel, until
the Struble family hardly found enough
feathers to hold funeral service over.
They have hung flnereal inscription,
'Requiescat in Pace, over the pig,
and mourn over the moving graveyard.

DOPE fIEND AND F0RGER.
Harry Smith A Persistent Passer
of Bogus Checks.

A man giving the name of Harry
Smith and claiming Pueblo, Colorado,
as his home, was brought before the
probate judge for hearing, Saturday,
charged with forgery.
Smith presented a check for s67 at
the Columbia hotel purported to be
signed by s. B. Arthur, Of Mackay
It was on Mackay bank check. He
got $40 and some goods over the bar on
the check. In the meantime a tele-
phone message was sent to Mr.. Arthur
who vigorously denied having issued
such check and pronounced it a forg-
cry. The officers We're called in who
arrested Smith. He is badly wanted at
Nampa for passing bogus checks there.
Smith is confirmed dope fiend, and a
complete wreck.
This is the second man now in the
Lincoln county Jail charged with forg-
cry. 1t is expected that both viii be
easily convicted at the next term of
court. Several other minor forgeries,
part Of which failed to get any money,
have, been reported during the past
few weeks; more of these crimes than
for long time past. The shortage of
money and of good jobs seems to have
turned many mems thoughts into this
easy though risky way of getting
little money.

DEATH OF MRS. ROSE ENNIS.
One of the First Women In Lincoln
County, Dies at Age Of 50.

Mrs. Rose Ennis. one Of the pioneer
women Of this part of Idaho, died at
her home here in Shoshone, Monday
night, December 80, after a brief IL
ness which up to the last few hours
promised to be only temporary and not
dangerous.
Mrs. Ennis, whose maiden name was
Rose Kehoe, was born IN County Wex-
ford, Ireland, October 1s, 1924. She
came TO St. Louis, Missouri, in 1886,
where she was married ten years later
TO Edward Ennis. In May, 1882, they
came to Shoshone, in advance Of the
railroad, which was then built only
few miles west Of American Falls.
Her husband died here two years later.
leaving the family, the widow and three
children Ennis and Mrs. Rose
Ennis McKune, both residents of Sho-
shone, and John Ennis, Of Pocatello.
Previous to coming here, they had lived
in various parts of Iowa, where Mr.
Ennis followed the railroad construction
business in the pslny days Of railroad
building in that state.
There are perhaps not half dozen
women left who came here to Shoshone
in 1882, the pioneer year for all the
settlers of this part Of the state. Mrs.
Ennis was the oldest and probably the
very first to come here. She had
wide circle Of friends, for she was al
ways friendly and hospitable, and there
are many who recall kindly deeds done
for them by the departed
The funeral services were held from
the Catholic church here in Shoshone, I
New Years day, and host Of genuine
mourners were in attendance. All the
children of the family were present. /
save the one daughter who died in St.
Louis before the family came west.

An unprecedented thing mas happened
"a drug store out Of CastOrial
This was the condition here in Sho-
shone the first of the week when the
unusual demand for the well known
panacea for infantile ailments cleaned
out practically the whole stock of the
stuff in town. Then it was indeed that
babies cried for Castoria, and they
did not get It for the crying, either.
Some of them had to take castor oil:
some took more cold; doubtless some
took licking TO quiet them. and some
took it as joke. There have been so
many babies and grown-ups. all with
colds, that the demand for the well
known family remedies has passed the
high water mark in this section.

most a week ahead of the delinquency
limit, as the taxes might have been
paid up to and including Monday next
and still not be penalized.
Mr. Wheeler is receiving money at q
good rate this week and anticipates few
delinquencies. There has not been the
slightest trouble in getting enough real
money TO do the business except among
those who have neither money nor ev-
dence of money wherewith to pay.
There is no panic at all, here in Lincoln
county, so far as evidenced by the tax
paying conditions.

SAVE THE COYOTES FEET.
State Now Pays a Bounty Instead
of Hiring WOlferc.

w. L. Clouser, who for the past year
has been one of the state hunters, has
Thrown up his job and come down to
Shoshone to spend the rest of the
winter. He says that the state has
been very tardy in issuing the warrants
for his services, in fact the warrants
are not yet issued, though the law
seems to be valid, and the services have
been rendered according to contract.
The hunters have killed immense num-
bers Of the predatory animals that prey
upon the flocks, enough to great deal
more than pay their wages in the
saving to the live stock industry.

South Side is Dry
Company Shuts Off Wat.
er, Settlers Ask an In
junction, and Court
Will Decide 1t.

Judge Walters will on Monday hear
another installment of the Twin Falls
canal suit, wherein the settlers seek to
prevent the turning over Of the canal
to the settlers operating company.
The suit was started in Twin Falls
county, and part of it was heard there
last week, in the regular term of court.
The case stands about like this: The
company, feeling that the time had
come to be relieved of its contract Of
maintaining the canal, asked to have
the system examined and reported upon
by the representatives of the settlers,
the state, and their own company.
This report was made, by Prof. Waller
of the Washington state college for the
settlers, State Engineer Johnston of
Wyoming for the state, and the com
pany engineers for the company. 1t
was agreed that the work had been
done in a manner to warrant the canal
company turning over the property to
the settlers operating company. Nego-
tiations were carried on as to the cor
summation of this agreement.
Some of the settlers, however, claim
ing that the company had not yet com
pleted its contract, brought suit for an
injunction to prevent the transfer.
They claimed that the work had not
been sufficiently we'll done to guarantee
their rights; that more laterals, more
and better head gates, and other re-
pairs were necessary; and that there
was a mortgage of S600,000 on the
property which the settlers would nave (
to pay if they took it over without the
mortgage having been paid off. The
court granted the injunction on these
grounds, and the war began.
The company retaliated in very
strenuous manner, by ordering the
water shut off from the canal, claiming
that under its contract it was not bound
to supply water all through the year,
but only through the irrigating season.
This would make the tract almost
desert for four or five months of the
year, as there are few wells, and most
of the settlers depend upon the canal
for all their water supply.
This action brought about an immed-
late conference The settlers have ap-
piled for an injunction to prevent the
off of the water though the
water was actually shut off for time.
The company, however, again turned
IN the water, pending decision on the
Injunction, and an agreement on the
question of a settlement. This ques
ion will be heard by Judge Walters
Monday.
The Twin Falls company claims that
he mortgage is not operative so far as
he settlers are concerned, but that it

ompany, and not on the property.
