times, was hung up in a tree in
the schoolhouse yard. And be-
sides all this, a buggy top was
cut to pieces in a shed at D. l..

TWO LITTLE BOYS ARE
SLAYERS OF THEIR TEACHER
Trailed by Posse They are Found 12O
Miles Away In Mountains;
Have Eight Guns

Lynn and Harold Lovelace, 1 and
IL years Of age, have confessed to
the murder Of Prof. Thomas Hamill,
on his ranch, near Twin rails. for
revenge upon him after he had made
them return some goods stolen from
his house.
The sheriff's posse which trailed
the boys thru the mountains were
looking for adult murderers. The
boys when taken had Hamill's horse,
wagon, pocketbook, some provisions,
eight guns and a revolver. They
were headed for Oregon where they
have a grandfather.
They admitted they had robbed
Hamili's house on Sunday. August
13, while he was absent. On his
return he went to a neighbor's house
where the boys were staying and
made them give up the stolen goods.
He wanted to put them under the
custody of a probate officer, but es-
Gaping him they went to his house
before him, armed themselves with
rifles and waited. He came and
parleyed with them. He asked for
food, while they still had him cover
ed, and when one of the boys brought
1t out he seized him. The other boy
shot. The bullet pierced thru his
eye to the brain causing instant
death. The boys are held by q
coroner's jury at Twin Falls.

FUNSTON ADVISES
i WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS

That the government officials are
planning to recall the U. s. troops
who are now stationed in Mexico
cidently by representatives of the
press this week, and not denied by
the officials. 1t is understood that
General Funston's views on the situa-
tion were asked by the American
commission to help them in their
conferences with Mexican conferees,
and that altho the premature publ
cation of the news may hamper the
commissioners in their later action,
there is little doubt but an agree
ment will be reached on the matter
of recalling General Purshing's COM
mand.
1t is just two years since Carranza
came into power in Mexico, at time
when General Funston held Vera
Cruz with brigade Of U. S soldiers,
backed by the North Atlantic feet
lying in the harbor. The American
troops were withdrawn November 23.
In each case the actual object was
not gained. Huerta refused to fire
the required salutes to the Ameri-
can flag at Vera Cruz, and Villa re-
fused to be captured in northern
Mexico. In both instances, however,
all dangerous power fell away from
the man who opposed the U. S. gov
ernmert; Huerta had to resign and
go into exile; Villa had to hide out
III the mountains. Neither of them
has made single peep.

NAMES COMING IN FOR HOTEL

Many names have been received
as suggestions for the title of the
new hotel, and they are being care
fully recorded as they come. There
seems to be an enthusiastic interest,
which shows that the people want
a fitting name, and nothing is more
proper out in this intermountain land
than real Indian names. But when
we said Indian we meant that names
from the tribes of our own vicinity
would be preferred, Bannock, say
The Bannock seems the only one
that inhabited this region consistent
ly, and their names have not been
used very much, so the field is wide.
The contest will last a few weeks
longer. =,
Remember, the name submitted
must have significance, and not be
a meaningless manufacture out OF
two or three words from some In
dian language. The meaning OF the
name will be useful, and therefore
should be something appropriate.

FAST BALL GAME
FROM ALL-STARS
Campbells Star Hit I'm Ninth Puts
Crimp in Visitors; Big
Crowd wild

Last Sundays game was fast and
close. The fans will long remember.
A team was picked from up and
down the Snake river valley and call
ed the All-Stars. They were pretty
sure Of the game and up until about
two minutes of the end they we're
justified, for they almost carried of
the bacon. Both sides played excel
lent base bali and the score was four
to three.
Klinger and Klinger are conceded
to be the strongest battery in the
upper Snake river valley. The mem
bers of their team were chosen care
fully from all over this side of the
state. Keltus and Marlowe matched
them at every turn and showed sup
eriority in handling the game.
The grand climax came at the end
of the ninth, when the A1l-Stars
seemed to have the game all packed
up to take home. Campbell came
to bat when the bases were full and
two men out. The fans were in
seventh heaven of suspense. With
vicious smack he sent the pellet into
back field and won the day. The
crowd was very enthusiastic. Camp
bell has always played q good con-
sistent game, but not until this had
he starred particularly with the stick.
He gave the fans a valuable and
pleasant surprise.

TAX LEVY

The council held two meetings this

ings, to discuss the tax levy for the
current year. Owing to some mis-
understanding in the assessment
figures a final decision has been post

supposition is that a general increase
in property valuation will make 1t
possible to levy the same amount as
last year, that is, eleven mills.
