warrant sworn to by the deputy
sheriff in which Henry was charged
with purjury, the alleged offence

of the case of the Henry Gold

friends here to go on his bonds and
went to Standpoint Tuesday even
ing with Deputy Riser. When
they arrived at Standpoint Henry
claims that Riser told him he

that the arrest was the result of a
plot to injure Mr.. Henry in polit-
ical way as he is a candidate for
nomination as representative on
the republican ticket at the prim-
aries, July 80 tn. Henry was ar
raigned before Judge Bunde and

FIND SKELETONS
IN NARROW PIT
Bones Of Man, Woman and Child In
covered by Dogs Near s. !.
Railway Bridge
PROBABLY BURIED FOR YEARS
Foul Play Seems Evident Not Bones
of Indians

Parts of the skeletons of a man..
a woman and child were uncov-
cred by dogs Wednesday in a pit
just below the old ferry boat land
ing on the site of an old sawmill.
Undertaken Moore was notified OF
the find and in company with A.
]. Kent and VIM. Burke went to
the pit and examined the grue-
some find
The bones of the man and woman
lay on sawdust in what had been a
whip-saw pit about four feet
deep. The bones of the child laid
crosswise over those of the man
and woman. Many of the bones
were missing and those which were
found were put into a receptacle
until word could be had from
Coroner Knapp as to what dis
position should be made of them.
Coroner Knapp notified Undertaken
Moore to have the skeletons re-
buried.
The oldest residents of the coun-
try have no recollection of the
disappearance of man, woman and
child in former days and it is very
probable that the mystery of the
find of Wednesday will never be
explained. There is no question
but that foul play was committed
in connection with placing of the
three bodies in the pit. One tooth
in the jaw of the mans skull had
silver filling so that the theory
that the bones were those Of Indians
t is not a plausible one.
E 1t is almost impossible to estimate
5 how long the skeletons have lair
in the pit but from the condition Of
the bones it is thought that they
have been buried for IS or 20 years

A Patriotic Picnic

The glorious Fourth of 1912 has
became thing of the past but the
memory of it will finger long in the
minds of those who assembled at
Turner'S grove, District Al, on
Thursday last to celebrate the
birthday of the nation. No pains
were spared to make the event a
grand success and no effort put
forth failed to accomplish its pur-
pose. All thru the preceding day
the patriotic housewives OF this
particular vicinity were busy CON
cocting all sorts of delectable dain-
ties to tickle the palate and the
results of their labors made very
tempting display and placed no
small importance upon the con-
sideration of the noon hour festivi-
ties. The grove was decked in
holiday attire. The organ was
brought from the school house and
set beneath the spreading pines
and when the last remnants of the
feast had been cleared away
The sounding aisles of the dim
woods rang
To the anthems of the free. "
The star-spangle banner was very
much in evidence and far above
our well-loved stars and stripes
waved the evergreen banners OF
Idaho, fit emblems of the perpetuity
of our own United States. From
time to time the pine clad hills
resounded with deafening reports
mere echoes of the deadly din
that bought our freedom.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the day was the base ball
game of the afternoon-Turner VS.
Fisher. The game waxed exceed
ingly interesting, the umpire was
Johnny -on-thespot' and it was
with some reluctance that the play
ers laid down their arms" at the
end of the sixth inning in response
to the call to strawberries and ice
cream. J. X. Ayers possesses the
open sesame" to strawberry cul-
ture and gave his friends occasion
to pronounce him man of gener-
Gus pretensions and an excellent
short stop on first base. AS the
icecream did not chill the ardor o.
the baseball nine the game was re-
sumed soon after lunch and con
tinued until interrupted by tear
full appeal from Nature. The
score, happily, was a tie. The
rain did nothing more than senC
the merry makers to the hous'
where games continued until {
seasonable hour for departure.

In certain parts of Spain during last

phenomenon is explained as being due
"a the presence in the atmosphere In
unusuai uuaBuues OF certain mineral
salts. History mentions day when
the heavens rained blood" In the mid
die ages such an occurrence was ac-
copied as predicting war or famine. or,
at any rate shedding OF blood.
The presence of micro-organiSm
seems always to accompany red rain
In volcanic regions gray hail Is rela
lively common. In Sicily this has been
observed very often. because the high
er layers of the atmosphere are filled
with ashes from Mount Etna. During
the past century there have been black
rains in England twice. and on both &C.
casions the color was due to the pres
ence Of micro organisms.
