QUARREL OVER WATER
RESULTS IN TRAGEDY
4. j. Thornton, Pioneer OF Neeley, in
Serious Condition Resulting From
Encounter With Roy Emigh, Prom
inent Citizen OF Yale.

T. j. Thornton, a pioneer settler of
the Neeley settlement and a prominent
farmer and stOckman, was brought TO
Bethany Deaconness hospital yester-
day evening in a serious condition as
the result of an encounter with Roy
Emigh, prominent resident of Yale.
Mr.. Thornton's condition is considered
to be hopeless by DR.. Moth, who was
called to attend him. When seen late
last night DR.. Moth said that Mr.
Thornton was falling, and he had no
hopes of his recovery, although he
might live for several days. Mr.. Thorn
ton is suffering from a blow on the
head, alleged to have been made by
a post in the hands of Mr. Emigh
Thornton and Emigh own adjoining
farms on Raft river, at Yale, and it
is said have had trouble over water
and livestock. Yesterday about noon,
according to information brought from
Yale, Emigh went over to the Thorn
ton place to complain about trespass
of Thorntons stock on Emigh's place.
There we're present Mr.. Thornton and
one of his sons, and Mr.. Emigh and a
son of Dan Abbott. Words led to a
fight, in which the elder Thornton was
struck on the head by Emigh, with a
post. One report is to the effect that
both the Thornton's were attacking
Enigh, but the facts surrounding the
quarrel and subsequent alteration
are not fully developed.
Both men were prominent and re-
spected citizens. Mr.. Thornton was a
pioneer of the Neeley settlement, and
has lived there for the greater part of
the past twenty-five years. Two or
three years ago he purchased the old
Hall ranch at Yale, which he used as
a headquarters for his stock, and di-
vided his time between there and the
old home at Neeley.
Emigh is also an old settler, hav-
ing lived for many years on Raft
river, just above the old Yale postof-
flee. He is a veteran of the Spanish
American war, highly esteemed by all
who know him, and has the reputation
of being an excellent citizen and
neighbor. He is we'll known here in
American Falls, especially by the bus
mess men, all of whom speak of him
in the most complimentary way.
At last reports this morning Mr..
Thornton's condition was not chang
ed, he being still in an unconscious
state.

NORWEGIAN CREW
SUFFERS TERRIBLY Y
U-BOat Sinks Ship and Survivors Buf
feted About III Days without Food
or Water.

Another neutral ship, the Norwegian
steamer Augvald, 209S tons, bound
from French port for Baltimore, has
fallen a victim of a German subma-
rine. A transatlantic liner, in port
Monday, brought the news of the sink
ing in mid-ocean on June 23 and also
landed IL members of the crew of 27
men. Three of the crew were drowned
and the remaining 19 are unac-
counted for.
The rescued men were picked up by
the liner after having drifted helpless
ly for IL days subsisting most of that
time on seaweed and rain water wrung
from their clothing or caught in their
caps.
According TO members of the crew
who told their story in fragments
over the side of the liner when she
docked, the sea wolf adopted the same
methods as used by the U-boats in
their operations off the Atlantic coast.
The steamer was stopped by shellfire,
the crew ordered into two boats and
the ship then sunk with bombs.
Capt. Egge of the Augvald left the
ship with II men in his boat and ii
became separated from the other life
boat containing IA of the crew. For
two days the latter boat drifted about
and was then upset in storm. Three
OF the men were swept away and the
others managed to right the boat and
bale her out They lost all their food
and fresh water and even their oars
were gone.
There was a succession of rain
storms and the men were almost con-
tinually drenched. Day after day went
by and finally on July the rescue
ship came over the horizon and the
exhausted and starving men were soon
safely on the deck of the liner.
simultaneously with the arrival OF
the summarized crew, warnings were
sent out Monday that hostile U-boats
may be encountered between latitudes
35 and As north. On July > an enemy
submarine was reported in latitude
1922 north, longitude 1850 west.

CloudburstS Do Much Damage in
Sunbeam

Three distinct cloudbursts occurred
on the Moonshine divide Tuesday and
the resulting floods raised havoc
with the roads. In some places there
are holes from five to six feet deep in
the highways. temporarily suspending
an traffic over them. Sunbeam creek
was far too small to carry off the vol
ume of flood water and as a result
some fields adjacent to the channel Of
the stream were damaged An Indian
from the reservation related that al
one point where the channel of the
creek was narrow and twenty feet
deep the water came over the top in
such volume that he was forced to
guide his team to higher ground. The
upper reservoir of the water system
supplying the south side of this city
was damaged and a considerable
amount of the pipe line was washed
away. for a time leaving the south side
without water. The situation was re-
lieved by water being supplied from
the north side system.
