BODY IS GUARDED
BY FAITHFUL DOG
Sheepherder Killed in Arco
Country-Cause of the
Murder Unknown.

When the authorities In Blaine coun-
~ found the body of John Baine, a
sheep herder, who had been murdered,
in the hills of Little Lost valley. his
faithful sheep dog had to be lassoed
before lie could be taken away and the
authorities reach the body. This Is the
story that comes from Arco. A. NJ
Towles, another sheepherder, has been
arrested charged with the crime. A re-
port from Arco says:
Lawrence Busch, Mr.. Ireland's camp
tender, was the first to discover the
dead body He had stopped at the
ranch the night before for supplies and
day morning. When he arrived at the
camp he noticed the sheep scattered
over the hillside and surmised that
something was wrong and went in
search of the herder. When he found
the body 1t was closely guarded by the
faithful sheep dog and the only way in
which the body could be moved was to
lassp the dog and take 1t away. As
soonNas the body was found Mr.. Busch
went at once to the William Rodgers
ranch where men were delegated to
watch the body until officers could be
Peace 7. C. Salt was informed of the
tragedy and left at once in company
with DR.. Fox to hold an inquest and
ascertain the cause of the mans death.
Judge Salt and DR.. Fox went to the
Ireland ranch where a coroners jury
composed of the following men was
subpoenaed from the Wilbert mine to
hear the case: Alex. McCalman, James
Miller, Watt II. Lee, Edward T. Byrne,
Robert Cornell and William A. Leaver.
The jury went to the scene of the
scene of the shooting to view the body
and then returned to the Ireland home
where testimony of the witnesses sub
poenaed was heard. After hearing the
evidence the jury brought in a verdict
that the death of Baine was due to a
hemorrhage caused from a gun shot
wound in the left arm. Near where the
body was found lay 1856 Winchester
rifle with a loaded shell caught in the
breech as II an attempt had been made
to load the gun. Nearby lay three empty
1880 shells and one loaded o. 5 shell.

Short Change Artists
Work Old Game AT Spa

Two young men worked an old short
change game at the Spa confectionery
last night which netted them $3.50
and made their escape. The clerks at
the Spa furnished the police with q
description of the men but they could
not be located.
One of the men came into the Spa
alone and asked for 10 cents worth of
chocolates and offered $40 bill in
payment. His companion followed while
the sale was in progress and interrupt
ed the clerk to ask for another brand
Of chocolate saying that he was paying
a wager. He talked rapidly about the
wager to the clerk. When she offered
the change to the first man he de-
clined it saying that he thought he
had a dime but after searching his
pockets he failed to find it. He then
took the $500 change and threw a
folded bill upon the counter in such
manner That it fell over on the inside
behind the counter. When the clerk
picked it up the men were gone and
she found that they had given her a
81 bill instead Of the $40 bill which
he picked up.
The same game was tried at the
Grey-Belle but failed to work as tae

Washington, Jan. 21.--The principal

them in private yards, than in govern
ment yards, an apparent saving, due to
faulty government bookkeeping, not
withstanding.
President p. Ross, of the National
Marine league, pleaded for an adequate
American merchant marine as a second
line defense.
