BOND AND LEASE
DUN GLEN CLAIMS

Chafey is no more, nor viii the town
of that name ever again be resurrect-
ed. Today it is Dun Glen, by which
appelation the settlement has been
known since the latter SOS, with the
exception of the last three years.
While the postoffice is still designated
as Chafey by the government, it is
probable that application will be made
to have the name also changed to Dun
Glen.
For the past year and half or two
years, very little has been done at the
camp, for the reason that the famous
Black Hole mine, which produced
thousands during the summer of 1908,
has been tied up by litigation. How
ever, the legal kinks are being
Strengthened out, and it is expected
that the camp will soon take on new
signs of activity.
First Sale Reported for Several Years.
Saturday the first sale in several
years was consummated at the camp,
when W. $. O'Brien gave bond and
lease to ]. C. Campbell, Joseph Julian

SPOTTED FEVER PATIENT RE-
PORTED SLOWLY RECOVERING

Charles Guthrie. who was recently
brought in from Paradise, suffering
with spotted fever is reported by DR..
Swezy, his attending physician, as be
ing on the road to recovery. Spotted
fever which comes from infected wood
ticks, is known only in the five states
of Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Utah and
Wyoming. The mortality is the high
est in the latter state, where is runs
80 per cent, but one in ten patient
recovering from the effects of the dis
ease. Very little is contained in tb
medical works on the fever, as it is
comparatively unknown malady,
though within the last year or tw
reference has been made to it by tn
medical authorities. The fever is not
contagious, which keeps the number
of eases down to those actually infect
ed by the woodtick.

For King Georges coronation, two
grants have already been made-the
first of one hundred and eighty-hve
thousand pounds, the second of sixty
thousand pounds additional. Still us-
ing the ceremony 1902 at precedent,
let us see in what manner these
amounts, totaling nearly million and
a quarter of dollars, will be distrib
uted.
A large part of the money will 60 to
the great officers of the royal house
hold, to whom will be assigned sums
carefully estimated to be sufficient to
meet the probable expenditure that
will fall upon each department in the
carrying out of it's specific functions.
In this way, the lord chamberlain
will receive the wherewithal to prepare
apartments for the use of the foreign
princes and envoys who will assemble
for the great ceremonial. He must also
provide for the allowances made to the
royal servants for the additional SER
vices required of them at coronation.
To the lord steward will be allotted
moneys for the actual entertainment
of the royal princes and other visitors
of high rank. The master of the horse,
high official in the kings household,
will supply them with means of loco
motion, whether by rail, automobile,
carriage, or riding horses, as may be
necessary, or as they may desire; and
his outlay is, of course, reimbursed by
the state.-Munsey's Magazine.

Ing K[NT'S FENCES

A Washington dispatch of the 26th
states that on suggestion of the de-
partment of justice the government
land Office has decided to send another
special agent to Nevada to investigate
the charges that the Golconda Cattle
company, William Kent, president, has
Illegally fenced 26,560 acres Of public
land, included in what is locally known
AS long Ridge field.
Last Faii special Agent Ira M. Foel
ker of the land Office made an investi
CATION and reported that the Golconda
company had built fence connecting
with the fence of another cattle com
pany, the two fences together making
such an inclosure as stated. This re-
port was referred to the attorney
general few days ago for determina-
tion as to whether or not the report
constituted grounds for prosecution.
Representative Kent entered pro-
test against such course, and de-
clared that his company had not in
closed public land as alleged. On his
statement the attorney general sug-
gested that another special agent be
sent to investigate. And it was also
suggested that he take two witnesses.
This will be done, and pending the re-
port of this special agent no further
action will be taken in the matter of
this second alleged illegal fencing.

ANENT ACTION TO
CLEAR BRIDGE ST" /"

Editor Silver State:
Under the heading of "Action to
Clear Bridge Street, there was pub
lished in Saturdays Silver State an
article concerning an Injunction suit
brought against me that may be mis-
leading to the public
When Bridge street was graded a
cut was made in front of my residence
of some five feet, extending down to
below the foundation and up to within
foru feet of the building Had the ex-
cavation been made close up to the
property line, the building would have
settled and been ruined before steps
could have been takn to strengthen
the foundation.
AS my house was built before the
street grade was established + consider
ed that ! enjoyed the prior right, and
that 1T would be no more than fair
for the county to allow me the four
feet mentioned in order that / might
build solid retaining wall and protect
my property.
Another fact that should be taken
into consideration is that the lines
and no two blocks are the same. 1t is
possible that survey would disclose
the fact that | am entitled to the four
feet in question.
While the county commissioners of
fered no objection to my using the re-
qnired ground to build a retaining
wall, the owner of an adjoining piece
of property has brought suit to restrain
me from so doing. The matter has
now gone to the courts, where it will
be settled

many years and have always been
lawabiding citizen, which | shall con
tinue to be. Should ] be decided
against by the court, shall make the

WILD PARSNIPS ENDS
LIFE OF INDIAN GIRL

Posie Anthony, niece lay to Chief
Winnemucca, the earstwhile head of
the Piute nation in the state of Neva-
da, died writhing in agony Saturday
evening at the county hosuital in Reno.
The Indian woman, Washoe of un-
mixed strain, was aged but 20 years.
In company with her little sitter, she
walked out on the Virginia & Truekee
track to near Moana Springs and there
she found in marsh the deadly poison
that all Indians use when they desire
to shuttle off this mortal coil. 1t was
the seemingly innocent wild parsnip-
now in flower
The Indian girl gathered a number
of these plants, throwing away the
tops and putting the roots, which dis
till the poison from the ground, into
her apron.
On the way back to town the
woman ate these roots, the child re-
monstrated with her, for even she
knew the weed and its fleets.
Upon arriving in town they were
met by Captain Johnny Kay, the ten
tative chief of the Piutes. He i'm
meliately noticed that something was
wrong with the mahala and asked her
if she was drinking. She did not speak
but shook her head. Already the
poison seemed to be taking effect.
The captain phoned to the police
station and Onicer Fife came ON the
run. The father, mother and imam"
of the girl were also sent for.
When the squaw was taken to the
emergency hospital at the city hall she
did not seem to be i'll, but merely in a
sort of stupor. City Physician Rice
was summoned and he administered
a hypodermic injection to cause vomit-
ing, but it was too late, as the poison
had already been absorbed by the sys.
TEN. The woman was taken to the
county hospital, where she died in
agony.
She was married to a nephew Of
Winnemucca, the great chief of the
Piutes, and was woman of education,
an accomplished musician. She sepa.
rated from Jack Winnemucca and
" affiniated' with Jack Wilson, also
a Piute. Domestic broils caused her to
eat the deadly wild parsnip.
The Indians wrapped her body in ii
blanket and hauled her to the reserva,
tion, where thew secured lumber and
made rough coffin, burying her in ar
eordance with the customs of the
whites, something that is very unusual
with the savage tribes~-heno Gazette

POCATELLO, Idaho, May 30.-That
the good roads movement has struck
Pocatello, where the second annual
convention of the Inter Mountain
Good Roads association will be held on
June 22-24, 1911, was indicated the
other day when former Governor
Brady returned from an eastern trip
and put his name down for a $500 do
nation to fund Of $4,000 to be raised
to turnpike ten miles OF road across
the Fort Hill irrigated tract to Ross
Fork, to connect with the six miles of
sand road from Ross Fort to Black
foot, which will be macadamized this
summer at an expense to the state Of
Idaho of $4,000. s. M. Nixon. a
homesteader on the tract, added his
name to that of Governor Brady with
$3.50 subscription. Every automobile
owner in this city, and every merchant
and business man responded literally
For years Pocatello has been on the
route of the main line automobile high
way to the Yellowstone park and to
the northwestern summer resorts. The
famous six miles of sand road between
Ross Fork and Blackfoot has been a
terror to motorists. 1t is on the black
list of every automobile guide book in
America. Largely through efforts of
the Inter Mountain good roads asso-
citation, the present executive officers
of which are President f. r. Sherman,
of Buhl, Idaho, and Secretary William
Wallin, of Pocatello, the last stage leg
isalture was induced to appropriate
$4,000 to macadamize the Ross Fork
road. Work will be in progress during
the June convention. To complete the
chain of good roads across the Fort
Hall ceded tract and Fort Hall Indian
reservation, it was decided to turn
pike the pole line road which runs
straight from the Gate City to Ross
Fork along the transmission line Of
the Idaho Consolidated Power com
pany. Work will be rushed to earliest
possible completion in order to prepare
for the annual tours of auto parties
which pass through Pocatello.

were decorated the graves of departed

At IL O'Clock a good sized audience
had gathered in the Nixon opera house
to witness the public ceremonies. The
stage was tastefully decorated with the
national colors and large numbers of
floral pieces that were to be later used
in adorning the graves of departed sol
diers.
T. A. Brandon officiated as master of
ceremonies, and opened the exercises
with appropriate remarks. Patrick
O'Donnell, Jerome Otis, Thomas Scars
and G. $. Leonard, the four surviving
members of the once large Grand Army
post at this place, occupied seats on
the stage, as did also Rev. J. l.. SAT-

After a short invocation by Rev. J..

by Mr.. Callahan, who delivered the

"In every village, city and hamlet

the stage with military precision.
Whatever injuries Patrick may have
sustained during the Civil war, it is
evident his powers of speech were
never wounded. In inimitable Irish
style he gave short but graphic ac-
count of the principal events and men
of the great struggle, to the immense
enjoyment and edifcation of the audi
ence.
At the conclusion of the program the
procession was formed, made up of vet
Grams, school children and citizens,
which marched to the old cemetery,

were strewn with flowers After this
