Located A Claim.

John Funke returned Wednes-
day evening from his trip to
Occur d'Alene where he filed on
forty acres of land on the banks
of the st. Joe river. While the
tract is small it is all clear of
timber. and very level and rich,
being covered now with fine wild
hay. He intends going back in
the spring to live there until he
can prove up on the land.
Mr.. Funke says that EIvin
Parker, who was formerly a res
ident of this place, has an ele-
giant claim on the st. Joe and as
near an ideal home as one could
wish. About 120 acres of his
farm is meadow land and the
rest timber and the place adjoins
a new townsite that is being plat
ted. Mr.. Parker has his farm
fenced and a nice cottage erected
and is as happy as a king.

Half an hour after the Frenchman
was first brought into the hospital the
patrol wagon from the southern dig
trict drove to the hospital door with a
case from Third and Mission streets.
A laborer in a foundry or something
of the sort had spent enough of his
weekly pay check to make his legs un-

one he met, and just about the time a
policeman was going TO take him in
some one bumped back and Mister Man
falls on the sidewalk. He was uncon-
scious. Alcoholism, you would say.
Nothing of the sort. The southern dis
trict policeman had learned police duty
under Captain John Spillane and knew
that it was better TO be sure than
sorry. Sure enough. symptoms of a
fractured skull were becoming distinct.
and though everything was done for
him that could be done he died inside
