BAD MEN FROM RUPERT
ARRESTED HERE ON TUESDAY
Local Peace Officers Jail Three
Drunks, One Of Whom is
Wanted for, Larceny

Sheriff Jefferies and Marshal
Watts took three men up Tuesday
evening upon advices from Rupert,
where the men were wanted for dis
utrbance. They arrived here some
time Tuesday afternoon, and had
gotten beautifully drunk before the
officers picked them up. Each re-
fused to give his name, and dis
claimed knowledge of the patron
ymics of the others. One Is thought
to be a man named Miller, who is
wanted in Cassia county for horse
stealing. Being somewhat swarthy,
he rejoices in the happy appela-
tion of "Black Jack" OF the others
little is known, except that they
are wanted in Rupert for some
kind of a rough house, in which
property was destroyed.
The Rupert sheriff came down
Wednesday and took the men back
with him.

BUCK DRAWS SIS FINE
Wandering Promoter is Serving in
Jail BY Account of Money
Shortage.

! Edward M. Buck, the man fof
warrant issued, charging him with
defrauding the hotel of hotel bill,
was brought back on Saturday of
last week from Shoshone, where he
had been apprehended upon tele-
phonic advices, and tried before JUS
tice Jones' He was found guilty
and fine of $25 and costs was in
flicted upon him. In default OF
money he is now rusticating in the
city bastile, serving out his account
with the county at the rate of 81
per day.
1t developed at the trial that
Bucks claim that he was repre-
sentative of the oregon Short Line
was absolutely without foundation.
The only encouragement accorded
him by the railroad officials in his
labor of getting up the handbook
of IDAHO was to tell him that If
he would pay up back bill of $36
that he owed the company, they
would issue him transportation in
exchange for advertising in the
andbook-providing they could
be given definite assurance that the
handbook scheme would go through.
A previous scheme of his, the pub
fishing of the New West" maga-
zine, fell through a ooouple of month
ago. before a copy of it was ever
issued, and the railroad people were
wary this time.
Generally the consensus of
opinion is that Buck is an idle
dreamer, a visionary and impracti-
cal promoter of doubtful schemes.
Some folks think him crazy. He in
s'sts he has discovered a remedy
that will cure blight in apple trees,
and scale in Oranges and lemon
One million dollars is the amount
he expects to derive from this
panacea of orchard ills. AS an
inventor he has made wonderful
strides toward the goal of fame
and success, but so far recognition
of his mechanical appliances has
been tardy.
Buck testified that he entered
the Remington hotel here without
money. He collected small sums
from people who agreed to take ad-
vertising in his booklet. but this
was doled out for other necessaries
of life than hotel bills. From here
he went to Rockland. and there he
got into the Frodsham hotel for a
few days board.

! John w. Berry, more familiarly
known as Jim" Berry, killed him
self this Thursday morning by
discharging a load of buckshot in
to his head Apparently great care
had been exercised in making pre-
paration for the suicide. The gun.
IL gage pump gun, was firmly
held under his chin, and, lying
back on the bed, he fired it by
pulling the trigger with his toe.
The head was almost torn from the
body. The tragedy occurred at
Berrys dry farm about eight miles
from here, in the Igo neigh borh ood.
Berry, who was a bachelor, had
been on protracted spree. and
it is thought that mauldin des-
pondency prompted the deed. A
procured gallon jug of whiskey.
The empty jug was found in his
cabin.
The body was discovered by Mrs.
Houdyshell, neighbor woman,
about eleven O'Clock. 1t is sup
posed that the fatal shot was fired
early in the morning, for neighbors
heard a gunshot report from that
direction about six o'clock put paid
no attention to it. Mrs. Houdyshell
after making the ghastly find
hurried to the home Of her brother,
H. W. Robinson, and he came at
once to town and notified the au-
thorires Coroner Hager and
Sheriff Jeffries, accompanied by a
number of townspeople. went i'm
mediately to the Berry ranch.
An inquest was conducted with
the following gentlemen as jurors:
James Hearne, foreman; d. B. JEFF
fries. H. T. Stanger, R. II. Louns-
berry, VIM. Houdyshell and C. l..
Richardson
The verdict of the jury was
that the deceased came to his death
from gunshot wounds inflicted by
himself with suicidal intent.
The lody V as brought :; the
Hager undertaking parlors and pre-
for burial So far as is known Ber-
ry had bu. one relative, d brother.
Mick Berry, who is in Nevada on
prospecting mission. He was
reached by telegraph and viii ar
rive Friday afternoon. The funeral
is to be conducted Saturday.
Very little is known of Berry's
life before he came 10 this section
about fifteen or sixteen years ago.
He was said to be about so years
old, and was a native of Joplin, Mo.
He was a man of good education,
and N his younger days held some
good positions In Colorado coun-
ty he was for two terms clerk of
the district court. He had travelled
in most of the western states. OF
late years he had been a heavy
drinker
Genial, generous to a fault, in
telligent and witty, Berry. when
not in his cups, was the best of
company, and numbered his friends
by his acquaintances; his enemies
totalled one, and one only-himself.

High School Wins From Pocatello
Athletic Club Games
Scheduled.

In loosely played game the
American Falls high school last
Friday afternoon defeated the Poca-
tello high school 10 to 6. The
condition of the diamond made real
ly fast fielding impossible, and free
hitting coupled with slow defensive
work brought up the score on both
sides. Oliver struck out eighteen
men, yet was hit harder than in any
previous game this season. Pitching
against the same club earlier in
the season, he held them to one
score on their own grondS. The
Friday game was probably the last
high school game of the season.

The Home Beautiful.

Painted and enaneled chairs of the
colonial style are most fitting for bed
room furnishing
a simple striped paper in two toned
grays is Il most appropriate background
for period furniture.
In bordering the fall wall paper
problems a good suggestion for guild
ance is that dark papers make room
seem smaller. and red should not be
used in living rooms as it absorbs
light and is nerve rritant.
Bedroom furniture which is dark
and gloomy may be transformed into
articles of beauty by the use Of var
nish remover and ivory or cream paint.
Additional attraction may be given by
painting gay wreaths or nosegays On
the reprinted furniture.
