Asks Damages Of R. R. Co.

A suit was filed with the Clerk OF
the District Court last week by l4afe
Yates, through his attorney, L. Vine
yard, against the Camas Prairie Rail
road Co. The complaint alleges that
through carelessness on the part ofthe
defendant company in that the right
of-way was not fenced, the plaintiff
had livestock killed by the train to
the value of between $500 to 5000
and asks damages in that amount
This, we believe is the first litigation
the railroad company has had IN
Idaho county but from reports OF tht
carelessness of the company it is not
likely to be the last.

Yesterday morning the body of
a. squaw, known as Little Mag.
gle" was found at the lower end
of the railroad yards, outside the
railroad fence. The squaw had
been missing for twelve days and
from all appearances she had lay
down and froze to death. The
squaw was q. heavy drinker and it
is presumed that she was under
the influence Of liquor on the
night of her death. The body was
frozen in a solid mass and had
evidently been covered with snow
until the warm weater Of the past
two days. Acting Coroner Evans,
County Physician Gree and a
coroner's jury viewed the remains
and arrived at the conclusion that
she had come: to. her death an the
result Of exposure. The body was

FROzE TO DEATH

Mr.. Enos Esquire who is down
, from the Bruneau country informs
Us that man by the. name OF
Kelley was found frozen to death
near the Idaho line day or two
before New Years. Kelley passed
Mr.. Esquire's place on horseback
early in the morning on his way
from Mr.. Nelson's ranch to the
Black Rock ranch, also owned by
Mr.. Nelson. The next day his
body was found by Mr.. Esquire
lying by the side of the road, and
frozen stiff,
The indications were that Kelley
had gotten off his horse and
attempted to start fire and was
overcome by the cold before he
could do so. He was thinly clad
and was probably nearly frozen
when he got off his hores. Mr..
Equire took the body to John B.
Scott's place at Rowland, where
it was prepared for burial and laid
away.
Mr.. Esquire says there were
four or five inches of snow on the
ground where the body was found
and that it was intensely cold for
several days before New Years.
The next day or so after Kelley's
body was found George Harvey,
who lives in that section, came
very nearly losing his life from
the cold. He was warmly clad
and to that fact his escape
from being frozen to death is
attributed.
