Caldwell man
DIES in BOISE

Monday night Fred Brown of Cald-
we'll was poisoned in the Startling
lodging house with another man by
the name of Carson. Both MET their
death with an over dose of morphine
Brown is little known in Caldwell,
having resided here only couple of
months. He leaves wife and two
children.
The following is the story: Brown
accompanied by three companions
went to the Startling rooming house
shortly after IL o'clock Monday night
and engaged rooms, the four men
taking one room. Shortly before noon
Tuesday Sweeny, one of Browns COM
ranions. tried to awaken Brown and
his companion. Upon examination
both men were found to be dead.
1t is believed that William Tracy
placed the drug in the whiskey for
the men.
Funeral arrangements will not be
made till after the inquest which was
not completed Wednesday.
While some powerful drug is be-
lieved by physicians and others to
have caused the death of Tom Brown,
contractor of Caldwell, and Fred
Wallace, better known as Exit Car
son., Monday night in room u of
the Startling rooming house, mystery
still shrouds the case. State chemists
are making an examination OF the
stomach and liver OF Brown and until
their work is completed, the kind OF
drug which caused the death of the
men will not be known and it is
doubtful if the manner in which il
was administered or taken will ever
be found out, as William Tracy, the
only man of the four known to use
drugs cannot remember anything
about the affair. He does not re-
member going to the room with them
being put out or arrested and it was
on his testimony alone that it was
hoped some light might be thrown
on the sudden and mysterious death
of the two men. The inquest was
postponed until 4:30 o'clock that after.
noon but again continued. 1t will lbe
continued until the state chemists have
completed their analysis.

new IRRIGATION
PROJECT FORMING

A brand new irrigation proposition
was presented to the state land board
Wednesday afternoon of this week
when H L. Fisher appeared and ask
ed permission to launch an irrigation
project in Canyon county which lis
unique. 81 ss4
: The land to be irrigated adjoins
this city and contains approximately
$500 acres. 1t lies above the. Sebree
canal and in the Black Canyon dist
riot. Mr.. Fisher declared there was
no reason to believe that the Black
Canyon project would have water on
the land in reasonable time and that
he had good, practical scheme of ir-
rigation which would do the business.
Has Underground Lake.
Mr.. Fishers plan is to water this
land from a large body Of under
ground water that he insists is perma-
nent. He has report by the state
engineer to back him up in this opin-
ion Under the land he proposes to
reclaim he says there is large lake
in bed of sand 800 feet deep. This
water he proposes to pump upon the
land selling it to settlers at the. rate
of SOS per acre. He petitioned the
land board for the privilege of enter
ing into such contracts with the set
tiers.
Terms to Settlers.
AS to the terms to be given the set
tlehs Fisher insisted that he would
be more than liberal. Settlers were to
pay for their purchase in 10 years. but
there would be no payment on the
principal for. the first six years. The
entire Sos an acre would be paid in
the last four years of the 10. All
the payments required of the settlers
in the first six years, while they were
bringing their land under cultivation
and getting a start, would De the sew
en- per cent on the investment and
the cost of maintenance.
Cannot Guarantee Permanence
Secretary of State Clifford raised
the question as to the permanency o
the water supply. He thought that
before the land board sanctioned the
proposition that Fisher Should give
guaranty of some sort that the set
tiers would not have teir water cut
off after a year or two or three. Thi:
guaranty Fisher was not in a position
to give. He said it would be impos
sible to finance the project with sucf
a provision attached. He insisted thai
the settlers were risking but little
that the land without water is abso
lutely worthless; that they would maxi
no poyment, outside of interest ant
maintenance fees for six years. o.
until the permanency Of the waite
supply was established beyond ques
ton; and that the investors were TAX
ing a far greater risk than the settlers
The matter was taken under advise
ment by the land board until NOR
through, investigation is made.
