BELIEVE HE KILLED HIMSELF.
Sheriff Sharp Completes Investigation
or Narryoshi Case.

After making an Investigation at the
scene of the tragedy and further ex-
animation OF tho body, Sheriff Joseph
C. Sharp is now convinced that NJ.
Narryoshi, the Japanese who was
found dead at Pleasant Green in the
house of Chicken ranch" committed
suicide.
Sheriff Sharp and Deputy Sheriff Joe
Burbidge made a trip to the scene
Thursday afternoon and their inves-
legations disclosed the fact that tho
Jap had not been shot twice; that he
had not been shot with rifle, and that
he was not shot through the back. as
at first reported.
The dead man had been shot with a
shotgun in the left armpit, the load
going through the arm and making a
great hole. H. Narryoshi and N. Naka-
to, who were arrested by Deputy Palm
or and lodged in the county jail, found
the man lying on the floor In a pool of
blood and they stuffed cotton into the
wounds In an effort to stop the flow
OF blood. That Narryoshi blcd to death
now seems certain.
The two Japs placed under arrest are
still in the county jail and this after
noon they are being questioned further.
through an interpreter. They aroused
suspicion because they made several
statements that did not coincide with
the known facts but this is explained
In the fact that neither could speak
English sufficiently we'll to be thorough

THRIVING SHELLEY.
Founder of Entcrprlslng Idaho Town
Tells of Its Development.

j. +. Shelley. founder. merchant. and
ley. Idaho, is registered at the New
Windsor today. He Is manager OF the
Shelley Mercantile company, with
branches at Blackfoot and Basalt. Mr..
Shelley Is enthusiastic over the Gem
state. and particularly his section
Shelley being located between Black
foot and Idaho Falls. a country that
has made phenomenal strides of late
years.
Our little town now has a popula-
tion of about 100" he said. but the
school district numbers its $50 chill
dren. In the past five years land values
have made tremendous advances.
Ground that then could have been pur-
chased for s25 an acre now commands
SIS to S125 per acre.
This has been a particularly pros
porous year all around, and the farm
ers and ranchers are rejoicing. Baled
hay today commands $13 ton. wheat
brings s1.5O a hundred and other
grains in proportion; 1909 witnessed
shipments from Shelley of at least
1900 carloads of produce. made up
chiefly of wheat, oats. barley. potatoes.
hay, flour and other mill stuffs. This
is an Increase of 500 cars In three
years.
'As an instance OF what may be done
by not scientific but good hard sense
farming in Shelley district: few
years ago a man purchased 40 acres
for $1,000. This year he was offered
$4,000 in cash for his potato crop
alone. The one years yield more than
paid for the price of the entire
farm. Shelley boasts some OF the best
potato lands in the state. The average
Will probably run 200 bushels to the
acre. but 1t Is no unusual thing for
Nj Hall 70 10 In n dntfh I'd
Shelley itself is coming to the front.
Under construction today are a modern
system of water works, and an up-to-
date electric lighting plant. The light
Ing plant is being put In by private
parties. The lights Will be turned on
for the first time probably next week.
This. together with the water works
will give the town quite the airs of
modern little city. The town was bond
ed for $4,000 for the construction
OF the water system. The work Is well
in hand, the recent unusually cold
weather putting a temporary stop to
operations. Early next spring should
witness the turning in of the water
to the village mains. A fine quality
of wator has been secured by driving
q six inch pipe to a depth of two or
three hundred feet which water is
turned into the reservoir, and from
there conducted into the mains.
Shelley has an Industry not found in
many western states" concluded Mr..
Shelley. This Is its alfalfa mill. Hero
the alfalfa hay stems. leaves and all.
are put through the mill. coming out
in the shape of sort of bran. This
IS put in hundred pound sacks and
sells for about $40 ton. Consider
