the place of meeting before the time
agreed upon, for on the guide reach
ing there he found the mans coat and
the smo1dering embers of fire. The
guide waited for hours, shot his rifle
several times, called and built a fire,
hoping to attract the man, and finally
made search covering a period of
day, leaving then for reinforcements.
Fifty men engaged in the search when
word was sent to the relatives of the
missing man in Oregon, and his wife
and brother made the trip to Jackson
to aid in the search, which contin-
ued for days, finally being given up
and the brother leaving notice of a
reward which would be paid for the
recovery of the man, dead or alive.
The brother intimated that he sus-
pected that his brother had been made
away with purposely, or was being
held for ransom.
The body was found within mile
of the camp and the result of the
coroner's inquest is to the effect that
the man accidentally shot himself to
death. The body was found near a
log, the supposition being that the
man had fallen over the log, discharg-
ing the gun. The body is reported to
be in a good state of preservation
making recognition possible. Idaho

GREECE WILL NOT JOIN ALLIES
Engiand's Concessions for Military
Aid is Rejected.

London - Greece has declined for
the present the allies offer to her of
Cypus and other concessions, terri
torial and financial, in return for her
adherence to the Serbo-Greek treaty
of alliance, which would mean her
military aid to assist in meeting the
Bulgarian and Austro-German attack
against her former ally
The reply of Greece to the offer,
which reached the foreign Office
Friday night, is a lengthy one and
while it has not been made public
there is reason to believe that the
Hellenic kingdom bases its decision
not to join the allies on the ground
that the Anglo-French force landed
at Saloniki, is not, in the Greek gov
ernment's opinion, strong enough for
the task allotted to it.
Refusal Not Unexpected.
The refusal to accept the allies Of
fer was not unexpected, as it had
| been often stated in official circles
| that both Rumania and Greece were
withholding their assistance until the
allies either won decisive victory or
| proved to the Greeks and Rumanians
their ability to do SO, or until opera
tons had reached stage which
| would assure them, that their coun-
| tries would not be overrun by the
| forces of the central powers or their
| Turkish and Balkan allies.
Serbia in Danger.
There is no inclination here or in
the capitals of other members of the
quadruple entente powers to minimize
the seriousness of the situation of
Serbia. The Austro-German and Bull
garian campaign is developing slowly
but the plans are now fairly clear
The Austro-German center is adyanc-
ing down the MOravia valley from
Semendria, while the Bulgarians have
got across this valley to the south
and command the Belgrade-Nish-S a-
lonik railway. The Austro-Germans
have three other forces engaged, one
In the northwest near Shabatz, one
at Belgrade and the third, which has
not yet crossed the Danube, about
| Orsoya.
Bulgars Moving.
| The Bulgars also have other armies
moving across the frontier, near Zai-
tar, Pirot and Nish and farther south
near Egri Palanka and Kohane and
claim to be already In Veleze. on the
Vardar river. 1t is this latter force
the Anglo-French troops landed at
Saloniki probably will first encounter
On the other fronts the operations
are considered to be more favorable
for the allies. The Russians. taking
advantage Of the removal of German
troops on other fronts to reinforce
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg for
his drive at Riga which seems to have
been checked, have been delivering

all these, they have had at least mi.
tial successes.
