BRUTAL MURDER OF
 TWO YOUNG WHITE MEN
Continued from Page One)

 were camped under a tree, about 100 yards from our camp, and two of the Indians who were going to work for us talked with them. There was the two young fellows who were killed, aged somewhere around 20 or 22, and a stout old man, aged around 50. The old man was cooking at the rear of their wagon and the young men were around camp and said they were go- ing to Globe. Before light the next morning all of us heard the wagon go by our camp, which is right by the road, and continue north toward White river and Holbrook, instead of toward Globe. Superintendent Davis met him next morning just north of here and several others have seen him. He had a small, light wagon and burro team, with an extra burro or two. He has been alone since he left here, and the men we found in the river, the In- dians say, are the same they saw with him in camp the night before. His camp was about 60 feet from the river, and it seems he killed the two men after they were asleep, as their skulls are badly crushed in. Then he put them on an old door and dragged them down the hill, part way to the river, then dragged each one separ- ately the remainder of the way. He then tied rocks around their necks so they would sink, and probably thinks they will never be found and that he is safe, but I think he has made a poor guess. When they bloated, of course they came to the surface and they had evidently just done this when Corrigan happened along and found them. I am curious to know just why he killed them, as 1 hardly think they had anything of enough value to be killed for, neither can we figure what they were doing off out here if they were soldiers, unless they were de- serters or slackers. We are inclined to think that the two young fellows got into some argument or fuss with the old man about the war or some thing else-possibly the old man is pro-German, and that he made up his mind he would fix them and get rid of them. He evidently killed them with an axe or something similar while they were asleep.

severe attack to others.
 It is very important that every per son who becomes sick with influenza should go home at once and go to bed. This will help keep away dangerous complications and will, at the same time, keep the patient from scatter ing the disease far and wide. It is highly desirable that no one be al- lowed to sleep in the same room with the patient. In fact, no one but the nurse should be allowed in the room.
 If there is cough and sputum or run ming of the eyes and nose, care should be taken that all such discharges are collected on bits of gauge or rag or paper napkins and burned. If the pa- tient complains of fever and head ache, he should be given water to drink, a cold compress to the forehead, and a light sponge. Only such medi- cine should be given as is prescribed by the doctor. It is foolish to ask the druggist to prescribe and may be dan gerous to take the so-called "safe, sure and harmless" remedies adver- tised by patent medicine manufactur- CTS.
 If the patient is so situated that he can be attended only by some one who must also look after others in the family, it is advisable that such at- tendant wear wrapper, apron, or gown over the ordinary house clothes while in the sick room, and slip this off when leaving to look after the others.
 Nurses and attendants will do well to guard against breathing in danger ous disease germs by wearing a sim pie fold of gauge or mask while near the patient.
 Will Person Who Has Had InfIu. enza Before Catch the Disease Again ?
 It is we'll known that an attack of scarlet fever or smallpox usually pro- tects a person against another attack of the same disease. This appears not to be true of Spanish influenza" Ac-

Ne,Os of Interest Gathered Here and There m tue State
Colorado Swallows Boat.

Over on the Colorado river, accord ing to the Parker Post, Bill Norton, who has a fine virgin ranch on the banks of the river, fixed up barge with pump on it to pump water from the river upon his ground. As he was floating the barge to it's permanent location, the treacherous current car ried the barge against snag, tilted it up so that it turned turtle and all went to the bottom but Norton, who had narrow escape. Loss is about $2,000. Water is over 15 feet deep where the barge went down, and there is no chance to recover any of the out fit as the Colorado river never gives up what it swallows, but quickly buries it with sand.
