BONES Of GIANT
PROBATE HISTORY
IDAHO HUNTERS FIND SKELE-
TON OF MAN TEN FEET TALL
IN MOUNTAIN CAVE-MASSIVE
GUN BY SIDE.

Boise, Idaho, March 16.-Un-
moved, unseen and untouched for
hundreds of years, or so long a per-
iod that it can only be estimated
by historians, and hidden in the re-
cesses of a deep cave twenty-five
miles north of Shoshone, Lincoln
county, in southern Idaho, which has
seldom been visited and is known to
but few, is the skeleton of giant
ten feet tall, evidently of prehistoric
origin.
AS corroborate proof they are now
exhibiting the rusty and timeworn
barrel of what appears to be an old
and ancient make rifle or gun weigh
ing between 25 and 80 pounds, re-
sembling a flint lock rifle, and which
they claim. was picked up beside the
skeleton.
Destined for Museum.
The bones will be taken out OF
the cave at the earliest possible date
and carefully packed and forwarded
to the Smithsonian Institute.
It's appearance, it is believed by
those who have seen the skeleton,
will result in an invasion of the
caves in that section of Idaho by
students wishing to seek knowledge
of the earlier inhabitants of Amer
lea.
The skull of this giant is twice
as large as that of the average man.
The shape would indicate that the
giant had a massive head upon his
broad shoulders and the large limb
bones indicated the giant must have
been a man of great strength and
physical power.
Skeleton Well Preserved.
The skeleton is very we'll pre-
served and was found far back In
the chambers of the cave stretched
at full length. Close by was the
barrel of the rusty gun, which is of
make unknown to those familiar
with firearms and considered a gen.
uine trophy by its possessors.
No reasonable theory can be adj
vanced by the discoveries as to how
the skeleton happened to be in the
cave. Those who have looked into
the facts believe that the skeleton
represents one Of lost race prob
ably unknown to historians in this
day and age, which occupied the
American continent long before the
red skin held the country in his pow
er.

Thatcher Academy Takes the Second of
 Series.

Saturday of last week the Clifton high school played the Thatcher Academy baseball team a thirtee n inning game. This was the last of a series of three games scheduled for the two teams. The first and second being the first game because it was stopped at the end of the ninth inning, score 33. The management of both associations deemed it ad visable for financial reasons. In the continua tion of the first game, which was played Saturday Thatcher made three runs in the second inning. So by rule this being the next even inning after the ninth the score stood 6-3 tor Thatcher.
 Taking into consideration the age of the high school boys and the fact that five of them are only ninth graders they must take a lot of credit for themselves. The Thatcher aggregation have played together over five years. This in itself does more to develope team work than anything else. This is the second athletic sport that the Clifton high school has given outsiders an idea of "how it should be played" Wa;cl them grow.

Graham COunty's Disgrace.

The grand jury that adjourned last Friday brought in a report of the unftness of the county jail owing to unsanitary conditions, and other causes making it an unfit place to confne anyone, in its present condi- tion, this is the second grand jury report since the present board of supervisors have had control of county affairs, and all they do is to simply ignore any reports or recommends tions that a grand jury may make that entails any expenditure of the funds of the county in keeping the public buildings at the county'seat in repair or shape. Altho they may be lavish in disbursing the county funds for more favored sections of the county, anything pertaining to the county seat, roads, bridges, or public buildings, is simply left untouched, 7, by these present "Czars" of Graham county.-Bullet Il
