DEATH VISITS
RIJHFIELD
HOUSEHOLD
Robert Champ Haines Dies
in Boise Hospital After
Brief Illness.

Robert Champ Haines, pioneer res
ident of Rlchfield, died at the hospital
in Boise last Saturday. November IL,
1916, where he went the early part of
the week suffering from long stand
ing affection of the kidneys.
Robert Champ Haines was born in
Illinois in 1853, and lived to the ripe
old age of SO years. His life was spent
in Illinois, Nebraska, South Dakota
and Idaho. Eight years prior to his
death he came to Richfield and while
here he became member Of the Ma
sonic Order, and has made many warm
personal friends both within and with
out the Hall, being universally known
as kind-hearted, upright man. Aside
from a host of friends he leaves a
daughter, Miss Mary, and three sons,
John. Joseph and Douglas, to mourn
his departure.
The remains were brought to Rich
Id and funeral services were held at
three o'clock in the afternoon at the
Methodist church, a large number
paying by their presence their last
tribute of respect to their departed
friend. In sermon of simple elo-
quence the pastor, Rev. E. E. Crab
tree, impressed upon his hearers the
absence of mystery with which the hu-
man intelligence so often enormously
ascribes to the incident of death, and
made it plain that death is but the
Transformation, by natural process,
from one condition or state to another,
in the working out of whichit Is within
our province to make the change a
better and brighter one and a cause
for joy and not for regret. s
An impromptu choir comprising sew
eral local lady sineers rendered some
of the old songs whose power for So
lace to the wounded heart is as strong
today as when their ilumined stanzas
were given a soul by their inspired
writer's.
Many beautiful floral offerings attest
ed the esteem of the givers.
At the close of the chapel rites the
remains were conveyed to the O. s. LII
station for transportation to his old
home in Spearfsb, South Dakota, for
interment.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The pupils in the High school, and
the seventh and eighth grades, are
especially interested at present in
current events. Each morning for
opening exercises, a period of from
live to ten minutes is given over to "a
student who gives a talk on some
current topic, of general interest to
all, which he has lately read, and up
on which he has prepared a talk
Maps, pictures, drawings and other
lids are used to make the subject
clear and interesting
The school board has subscribed
Tor number Of Current Events, for
distribution among the pupils each
week. AS there are not sufficient
copies for all, it has had to be to
some extent, First come, first serv-
3D." This has resulted in lively
scramble among the pupils, when the
weekly paper arrives.
However, those who do not get a
paper fairly well versed on the main
topics as they are given In the re-
ports. In case student Is unpre-
pared for his special topic. impromptu
talks are given.
The superintendent has announced
his intention to order enough copies
of this little paper to supply all Of
and eighth grades as well as the
High school. These, along with the
one subscription Of the Literary Di-
gest, will give the pupils an opportun-I
ity TO be conversant on present day
topics.

"a astir, and an hour later we had
IA started upon our memorable
expedition. Often in my dreams
have thought that l might live to be
a war correspondent In what widest
one could l have conceived the nature
of the campaign which it should be
my lot to reportl Here then. is my
first dispatch from a field of battle:
Our numbers had been REINFORCED
during the night by a fresh batch of
natives from the caves. and we may
have been 400 or 500 strong when we
made our advance. A fringe of scouts
was thrown out In front, and behind
them the whole force in solid column
made their way up the long slope of
the bush country until we were near
the edge of the forest. Here they
spread out into a long struggling line
of spearmen and bowmen. Roxton and
Summerlee took their position upon the
right flank. while Challenger and I
were ON the left. 1t was a host of the
stone age that we were accompanying
to battle--we with the last word of the
gunsmith's art from st. James street
and the Strand.
We had not long TO wait for our
enemy. A wild, shrill clamor rose
from the edge of the wood. and sud
denly a body of ape men rushed out
with clubs and stones and made for
the center Of the Indian line. 1t was "a
valiant move. but foolish one. for the
great, handy legged creatures were
slow of foot while their opponents
were as active as cats. 1t was horri-
BILE to see the fierce brutes, with foam
ing mouths and glariDg eyes. rushing
and grasping but forever missing
their elusive enemies, while arrow aft
er arrow buried itself In their hides.
One great fellow ran past me roaring
with pain. with n dozen darts sticking
from his chest and ribs. In mercy
put n bullet through his skull. and he
fell sprawling among the aloes. But
this was the only shot fired. for the
attack had been on the center of the
line, and the Indians there had needed
no help of ours in repulsing it. or all
the ape men who had rushed out into
the open ! do not think that one got
back to cover.
But the matter was more deadly
when we came among the trees. For
an hour or more after we entered the
wood there was desperate struggle. I'm
which for time we hardly held our
own. Springing out from among the
scrub, the ape men with huge clubs
broke in upon the Indians and often
felled three or four of them before
they could be speared. Their frightful
blows shattered everything upon which
they fell. One Of them knocked Sum
merlee's rife to matchwood, and the
next would have crushed his skull had
an Indian not stabbed the beast to the
heart. Other ape men In the trees
above us hurled down stones and logs
OF wood, occasionally dropping bodily
on to our ranks and fighting furiously
until they were felled. Once our al
lies broke under the pressure. and had
It not been for the execution done by
our rifles they would certainly have
