investigation.
Harry Silversmith, editor of illus
trated Idaho,, a booster magazine pub
lished at Boise, which is soon to de
vote an issue to Moscow, spoke OF the
work he was attempting, and spoke of
the needs in Idaho of publicity.
George Knapp, who had just return
ed from his eastern trip with car
of apples. told of his experiences in
disposing of Moscow apples, saying
that while he could get $275 per box
for 3 p tier fruit, he could get only a
dollar and a quarter per pox for small
stuff. He said we must have size as
well as quality if we are to get good
prices
}. R. Middleton, formerly of Mos
COW, was guest of the club, and
spoke enthusiastically of the progress
made in Moscow during the past two
years. He said he was proud of the
work accomplished and that when
Moscow apples won at the National
Apple show last fall he was as proud
of it as any citizen of Moscow could
have been. He said Moscow citizens
should continue to stick together, and
that they could accomplish great
things.
w. J. Jordan of the N. p made
the hit of the day when he compli-
mented the club on it's great success,
saying that if Moscow continued to
stick together there was no reason
why they could not name the next
president. Seriously speak

BROODING WIFE
LOSES REASON

Brooding over the alleged desertion
of her husband whom, the neighDors
it is said, made her believe had left
her with three small children to face
the world alone, caused Mrs Anna
Erickson, aged rs, living near Troy,
to lose her mind. The woman is being
detained under guard at the sheriff's
office, while an examination is being
made. Her children range in age from
four months to four years. All are
pretty babies.
The husband, NJ. E. Erickson, left
Toy several weeks ago and the last
gard from him was in Spokane.
Neighbors took pity on her and as
sisted but were unable to keep her
from brooding over her unhappy
plight, and her mind gave way She
was brought to Moscow yesterday
from the Flodin home near Troy,
where she had been staying.
The husband was located today by a
registered letter enclosing $40 which
he had sent his wife from Medicine,
Wn., where he is working. An effort
Will be made to bring him back to his
family, and the county physician be-
lieves that after his return the wom
an will recover her sanity
The $40 enclosed in the letter was
to pay the wife's expenses to Spokane,
where he wanted her to meet him to-
morrow, not knowing of her condition |
The letter also tells her not to believe
that he has deserted her, but that he
wants her with him just as soon as he
can make a home. !

fax.
The captain of the liner Mackay
Bennett, said that he had arrived OF
tho scene of the Titanic disaster the
Saturday night following the catastro
phe by midnight He said he hat
sighted a number of corpses. Fifty
seven identified bodies were buried al
sea. They had been crushed between
block of ice and were identified only
by the names sewed into the coats.
Captain Lardner of the Mackay-B BEN
nett, said:
"Those buried at sea are mostly
members of the crew. We found it
impossible to scare for them.
when we left Halifax we took all
the embalming fluid in the city. That
was enough for only 70 bodies. We
did not expect to find the bodies of
so many victims.
AS we expected to be at sea two
weeks it was necessary to bury many
bodies. Rev. Mr.. Hind, an Episcopal
ian minister officiated.
Captain Lardner continuing said
"We found no two bodies together.
All were floating separately. No two
were clasped in each others arms.
"At one place we saw bodies scat
tered on the surface resembling sea
gulls, with the white ends of their
life belts fiuttering up and down.
'All the bodies recovered wore life
belts. They rode upright in the waves,
the belts carrying them well above the
water.
I'VE found the bodies of 18 or 20
and recovered much jewelry
from both men and women. We do
not know exactly how much money we
found"

A Scene of Horror at Halifax When
. McKay-Bennett Docks With
Burden of Dead.

HALIFAX. April ao.-With 19t
bodies of the Titanic victims aboard
the Mackay- Bennett returned here to-
day. The bodies of two women were
found. The body of Col. John Jacob
Astor was identified by jewelry and
cards found in his pockets. One hun
dred and sixteen other bodies were
found, but because of their condi-
tion, which made it impossible to bring
them here, were buried at sea.
Bells tolled, and flags were at half
mast when the ship came in.
A hundred bluejackets with bands of
mourning patroled the harbor, keep
ing the small craft away from the
dock. All persons not bearing passes
were barred. s--...a.-.-
AS the Mackay- Bennett neared the
dock piles of bodies littering the deck
were plainly visible Some were wrap
ped in burlap, and other were uncov-
cred, and arms and heads exposed to
full view.
The uncovered bodies were removed
first, and taken on stretchers to the
Titanic morgue
When the tarpauiin amidships on
the MackayBennett was lifted an
enormous pile of the dead was exposed
They lay in cramped positions, their
features horribly distorted, and faces
marked by the stains of the sea-
There was no crowd of curiosity
seekers about the dock, and people |
whose work kept them there passed
with averted faces.
Doubted was expressed that the ! ody |
supposed to be that of George p. |
