For the last three years Phillips
lived like bear, on grubs, buds, ber-
rles and anything he could get. Just
before the sheriff's posse went in there
Sam Myers ran onto Phillips eating
the carcass Of Wildcat that Myers
had caught. Phillips started down
the river, telling Myers he was going
down to Ludwig's. When he got to
Thomas & Danforth's camps they per-
suaded him to come in and Get some
supper, but could not prevail on him
to stay over night. He left the cabin
and started down the river. From
his tracks it appears he never stopped
until death overlook him.

Mdu0 70dVy GdlnS
The big vote this week comes from
the first district and Jessie Cook has
made the heaviest gain, casting 1880
votes during the week Just closed.
Flossie Murphy Of the same district
east the second highest number of
votes, $3.50. Miss Clay of the Third
district made a big gain, casting $3.50
votes. Miss Clay is the candidate
from the higgins country and is now
at the head of the list from District
No. 3. Rose Freeman, the other can
didate from that section sends in a
nice lot of votes and no doubt will
make a hard fight to regain her old
position. This is going to be one of
the districts in which hard fight can
be expected. In the second district
Miss Cash of Tolo still leads but a
glance at the returns will show but
little difference between any of the
candidates in that section.

Appreciation of Old Officers.
A vote of thanks was extended to
the old officers and especially to the
president and secretary is due much
credit. To great extent is due the
plotting safely Of the young organiza-
ton through the dangerous channels
and conducting its affairs on a limited
amount of means. For the opportun-
ity had these two officers as well as
the old board deserve much credit. No
salary has been connected with any of
the offices and much time has been
given from private business, especially
is this true of the secretary who has
given freely of his own time.
Make Bristllng Speeches.
|. c. Hattabaugh made speech
ringing with action and full of life
asking the cooperation of each and
every member. Others made short
talks including Frank A. Tamblyn,
landlord Of the Imperial Mr.. Tamb-
lyn through his remarks showed he
was a booster and true town builder.
Mr.. Parker laid out plenty of work
for the coming year and undoubtedly
will give the new committee plenty Of
work to do.

AER0NAUTS ARE LOST.
Relief Expeditions Are Hitting the
Mountain Trails.

Los Angeles, Cal, March.-For more
than fifty hours friends of the six men
who ascended from Tournament Park
in Pasadena Saturday afternoon in the
big Ferris balloon, America, have been
without word of them or the slightest
knowledge of the fate that has over
taken the intrepid aeronauts. As far
as information here goes, no human be-
ing has caught sight of the huge gas
bag since it rose above the park inclos-
ure in sight of 5000 enthusiastic sight
seers.
The balloon, carried by stiff breeze,
sailed majestically into the low-hanging
clouds that lay far down on the noun
tain sides and disappeared from view.
The belief that some tragic fate has
befallen the men who formed the party
has led to the formation of many relief
expeditions into various parts of the
Sierra Madre mountains, directly over
which the strong current carried the bal
loon when il had reached an altitude of
a few thousand feet. There are three
distinct mountain ranges before the Mo
jaye desert is reached, fifty miles north
of Pasadena.
Ii the balloon is able to sail over
this tifty-mile stretch of mountain chain
and come TO earth on the Mojave desert
there is hope that the occupants of the
basket, after tramping many weary
miles, may be able to reach shelter. II
the balloon was not able to cross the
Sierra Madre and was brought down
among the mountains, only miracle
can save the men from death.

mechanic for the company at Clio. Day
is under arrest on charge of murder
at Rison, Ark, having surrendered after
the tragedy.
Dunean's body was brought here and
prepared for burial. The tragedy has
thrown this entire section into excite
ment, owing TO the prominence of both
parties. The cause OF the tragedy is not
given. but Day Is believed to have
blamed Duncan for his resignation. which
was asked for in a letter last Friday,
written by John '. Rutherford, president
of the lumber company. Day claims self
defense and declares that Duncan reached
for his revolver after telling him that
one Of them must die.
