MYSTERY
WHICH HAS been
BATTLING POLICE
Believed Man Who Has
Written Letters Under
Assumed Names to Idaho
People Is in Custody.

Through the arrest of Clarence Mich
olas by the police departent on Thurs
da yand statements made BY him, a
mystery which has baffled the police
of number Of Idaho cities for several
months past was cleared up. Nicholas
had written a number of letters under
an assumed name. representing himself
as an attorney and asking certain per-
sons to call in connection with the
settlement of a hesitate left to him. The
letters were all directed to persons to
whom children had been given for
adoption or taken for their keeping
from the Children's home and conse-
quently an interest was aroused and a
suspicion created which caused the po-
lice to be put to work
Shortly after the arrest of Nicholas,
DIR. Chalfant of the Childrens home,
whom he called to testify for him, came
to the conclusion that perhaps Mich
olas was the man who had been max
ing the representations and he gave
him sheet Of paper and asked him to
write line or two in which were words
which had been misspelled in the let
tiers written. Nicholas did so until DIR.
Chalfant gave him an exact sentence
from one of his own letters, when he
threw down the pencil and stated he
was being tricked and refused to write
more. DR., Chalfant slipped the paper
from him and found the hand writing
identical and the misspelled words in
his letters spelled exactly the same in
the dictation taken.
Nicholas, who was arrested for dis
turbing the peace after visiting the
home of Mrs. j. w. Slick. was found
guilty and fined Sc and costs of Sc and
was committed.
From DR.. Chalfant it was learned
that Nicholas had number Of sisters
who were placed In homes by the Chill
dren's Home Finding society, and that
he was attempting to try and find out
where two of them were located. He
had written the letters to persons
whom he learned had taken children
in hopes of getting into their homes to
ascertain II they were his sisters. AT
other times he has visited homes in
person, where he learned there were
children and on some pretext would try
to get in. His last escapade, which led
to his arrest, II is believed, will teach
him lesson. He states his only OBJ
ject in trying to locate his sisters was
to see IL they were in good homes.

under five-year leases as has been the
case heretofore, meets many of the OBJ
Jections raised by the stockmen over
the state and they are pleased at the
action taken. BY this rule all those
seeking to lease selected lands will be
given fair chance and they will go to
the highest bidder. 1t has also been
suggested that the land board mark
townships on maps showing state
lands and that these maps be placed in
various parts of the state so that both
stock and sheepmen may be kept post
ed on the state lands that are for lease
and can have an equal chance bidding
for them. This simple method, it is
suggested. would do away with a great
deal of conflict between the two in
dustries and help to solve the perplex-
ing leasing problem.

MANY TROUBLES DUE
TO WEAK KIDNEYS

1T is no use advertising a medicine
unless the medicine itself is good enough
to back up the claims you make for it.
On the other hand it is pleasure for
druggists to sell medicine when GUS
toners come In afterward and tell how
much good it has done them. And that
is why druggists like to sell and recon-
mend Solvax., the great kidney remedy.
Ever since we first introduced Solvax
drug clerks have been so busy selling 1t
that it is sometimes hard to keep a suffi-
,cient stock on had. Moreover Solvax is
always sold on a positive guarantee of
relief to the kidney sufferer or money
back. This may seem rash but users
have said SO many good words in favor
of Solvax that it is not expected that
many packages will be returned"
This shows great faith in Solvax. 1t
really is almost unusual medicine because
it overcomes the worst cases of kidney
complaints by removing the cause. 1t
goes straight to the seat Of the trouble.
It soaks right in and cleans, out the kid
acid and poisonous waste matter. that
lodges in the joints and muscles. causing
rheumatic pains; soothes and heals the
bladder and quickly ends all such trou-
bles. - =
Nothing is more uncomfortable or hurts
than troublesome kidneys and their at
