BOY DIES FROM EF-
feet OF SHOOTING.

What was alleged to be an &C
cidental death from shooting occurred
2b miles west of Riverside last Thurs
day, when Melvin Roberts, aged 10,
son of Mrs. Ira Bond, died from the
result of a bullet wound inflicted
by his step-father, Ira Bond.
Mr.. Bond was sick and lying up
on the bed and became angry at the
boys because they were quarreling
in the house and Bond told them IL
they didn't keep quiet he would
punish them. Mrs Bond cautioned
him about making threats OF any
nature and he reached for his gun
which was on a shelf near the bed.
The gun was discharged, shooting
through the partition, but not hitting
anyone.
Then the boys and Mrs Bond tried
to take the gun away from him and
the gun was accidently discharged,
the bullet striking Roberts in the
groin.
The sheriff and coroner from Burns
were notified and they arrived Fri
day an inquest was held and the jury
rendered verdict OF involuntary
manslaughter. Bond has not been ar
rested yet on account OF being sick.

WAR DECLARED ON
THE JACK RABBITS

Mr.. Howard, the farm adviser, Ia
q busy man these days. In several
sections he has started the farmers
after the Jack rabbits and they are
being exterminated. He says II the
farmers will remember that one Jack
killed now will mean several score
less TO contend with the next season
that they will get busy.
II is an easy and cheap matter for
all having hay stacks to fence them
with rabbit wire, leaving an opening
for the rabbits to get in. when the
stack yard is full get busy with clubs
or 22s and you will soon have all the
rabbits in your neighborhood.
Another method IN to dissolve an
ounce OF strychnine in gallons OF
water and sprinkle Il over t6 pounds
OF cut alfalfa. This is strong enough
TO kill stock and when II Ia spread
for rabbits should be fenced In 10
that stock cannot reach Il.
In the Bonita section government
man has been working with the far
mers and in the Willow Valley the
farmers had a drive, killing hundreds
of the pests.
There is general move being
made throughout the country, the
farmers realizing that while the
snow Is deep is the time to get busy.

GERMANS MAKE GAIN
ON WESTERN FRONT

London.-The western war front
has been the scene OF really heavy
fighting, the Germans having launch
ed determined offensive there. Az
ter making, in recent days, several
dents in the entente allies lines
which had been Strengthened out
again in whole or in part by counter
attacks. the Teutons after heavy
bombardments. assaulted the allied
positions along a front of several
kilometers south of the River Som
me and TO the northeast of Neuville
in the Artois region.
The attacks resulted, according TO
Berlin, in sweeping gains in both
cases, the village of Frise and 1000
yards of trenches south of it being
taken in the more southerly sector.
while in the Neuville region 1900
yards of trenches were stormed, the
gains amounting 10 nearly a mile
and a half of front Incidentally
more than 100 prisoners and 22
machine guns were taken.
The French account of the lighting
in the south of the Somme differs
materially from that given by Berlin.
1t is declared that the Germans fail
ed in their attacks except on the
bank OF the somme. where they
were able to drive a detachment of
French troops out OF the village of
Frise, Paris asserts that the attack
has been checked, and that some of
THE trenches lost were recovered.

NYSSA CHEESE IN
GREAT DEMAND

The Nyssa Cheese company Is now
In the most prosperous condition In
It's history. II pays all it's patrons
each month between the first and the
tenth. It's December bills are paid.
and It's January bills will be paid dur
ing the first 10 days of February.
There Is a strong demand for Nyssa
cheese which lately has been topping
the market. at good prices. This fac
tory is a cooperative institution.
When the cheese made here sells at
good prices, then the patrons who
sell their milk to this factory get
good prices, on a butter fat basis, In
December the patrons of this factory
were paid 32 cents per pound at the
factory for butter fat. II Is believed
the patrons will receive better price
for their butter fat delivered at the
factory during January, because Nys-
a cheese now is being sold at the best
prices since the opening of this plant.
An average of $500 pounds of milk
is being received daily. Al this sea-
son of the year the flow of milk is
usually at its minimum. II is conf
IDENTIFY believed that by May or June,
when the flow of milk is at its height,
the milk receipts will run up TO
