SHANGHAI. April 12.-Summary ex-
ecutions Of leaders have absolutely

today the loyal troops are in supreme
control. The slaughter there was great.
Whole companies of rebellious soldiery
were shot down by the loyal forces
and, after they had been put to fight

the open square of the city.

The sight was horrifying. but seemed

of the troops in the local garrison and
replace them with soldiers from the

P0PE'S DEATH RUMORp
TO BE INVESTIGATED
Vatican to Find Out Who Is Re.
sponsible for the Story
Being Sent Out.

ROME, Italy, April ia rigid In
vestigation to determine whether any
church official was responsible for the
report of the death of the Pope widely
circulated yesterday, was ordered to-
day by the Vatican.
The Vatican itself was almost as
much shocked by the report as the out
side world, and Papal Secretary OF
State Cardinal Merry Del Val was de-
termined to locate the. source of the
Madrid, where 1t was said the Papa
nuncio had received a Vatican dispatch
telling of the Pontiff's death. AS nc
such dispatch was ever sent the Vati-
transmission of cipher message must
have been responsible for the report.
The Pope was in the best of condition
to-day without the slightest sign OF
acute illness. He celebrated mass In
the private chapel, and received a mum.

BACK FROM


Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Robson, of
Gleichen, Alberta, are here visiting
their daughter, Mrs. +. c. Ricken.
They moved from here about five
years ago, having lived for some time
northeast of Moreland. They are
looking well, and appear to have
been gently dealt with by Father
Time.
Other Idahoans who went from
here and settled in the same locali-
ty are R. V. Robson, John Allgood,
Nate White, James Naylor, John
Ransom and Nephi Anderson. All
have done quite well but Mr.. Ander-
son. Mrs. Anderson had an operation
for appendicitis, and before she was
fully recovered from that the whole
family took the measles. She has
never been we'll since, and is now In
British Columbia being cared for. Mr..
Anderson spent all he had trying to
recover her health, and is now doing
hlacksmithing at Gleichen.
Jabus Nowlin and his two sons
who went from Idaho Falls and
launched out largely in farming
lands which they bought on the in
stallment plan, had a bad aso and
lost everything. They had made a
lot of money in Idaho, and thought
to double it there in a short time
and came back to Idaho to start in
again. Mr.. Nowlin died a few months
ago at Idaho Falls.
w. D. Trego is farming a large
tract, and Mr.. Robson says, has 900
acres ready for the drills when
spring comes. The most annoying
thing they have confronting them, he
says, is the labor problem. So many
of the men who come into that coun-
try are from over the seas, and never
saw farm work conducted with any
such implements as r used there,
many Of them cannot harness a horse,
or If they do they put the breeching
in front for a collar, and seem inca
pable of learning new things, are not
handy like the Yankee, and are not
worth their board. Anybody that is
not worth $50 a month is not consid-
cred worth keeping, and Mr.. Robson
and Mr.. Trego keep one man and a
vehicle especially for hauling men
out and back from town. They all
claim to know how to work, and ar
ter testing them they haul some of
them back and look for more.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robson lost their
son VIM. H. Robson, in August, 1910.
They expect to remain several
weeks in Idaho, and go back in time
to take up the spring work. They
do not represent it to be any better
than plenty of other places, but for
those who want to farm on a large
scale or raise stock, it affords the re-
sources to do it. Those who have
gone there without much capital to
carry them and without being able
to secure the implements needed for
doing their farm work quickly when
the soil or crops are just right for
action, lose in various ways and eth
err fail or fall far short of success.
They have had much colder wealth
er there than here, and stock in great
numbers are being fed on the straw,
and the hay that was harvested after
the hail passed and grain took a Sec
ond growth. The cattle are generally
poor, and suffer from lack of food
Or from lack of variety of food.
