SOME SETTLEMENT SHOULD
Be HAD OF REWARD MONEY
After Six Months No Action Has
Been Taken to Recompense
Walters Captors

Many inquiries have been made as
to the disposition of the various re-
wards for the capture of the murd-
erer of the late Sheriff Mark l..
Wildes.
The aggregate amount subscribed
by this county and citizens residing
here was $1,000 and portion of this
sum is now in the hands of Post
master George w. Likes awaiting a
decision as to its proper disburse-
ment. In addition to this sum the
state offered reward of $1,000 and
not one dollar of the above amounts
has been distributed.
To some members of the posses
who SO bravely followed the trail of
the murderer during that fateful
week the above sums should be ap-
portioned and it would seem that an
equitable adjustment of this long
pending matter could be effected
through the appointment of an arbi-
tration committee.
Quite a number who took the trail
for the purpose of capturing Paul
Walters but who were distant from
the scene OF the killing have waived
all claim to any share in the reward
and others could be automatically
eliminated through the fact that
they were remote from the scene,
yet it is but an act of simple justice
that some action be taken that will
bring to just settlement this ques-
tion which involves the honor of the
county and the state.
1t has been stated that we're
satisfactory settlement of the re-
ward offered by the county to be
made the recipients would then
bring their case before the state
board with the belief that they
would then have a better standing
before that body and doubtless OBJ
tain the reward of their faithful
service.

WILD REJOICING FOLLOWS
RECEIPT OF PEACE NEWS

The signing of the armistice was
the occasion of a demonstration last
Monday on our streets that spoke OF
the Joy felt by our people over the
end of the nearly five years war.
Early in the forenoon the notes
of Harry Clinton's bugle were heard
echoing through the valley sounding
taps for the Kaiser and for all the
hellishness he represented, and
quickly a hundred cars came into
sight and formed an impromptu pa
rade making the circuit of the prin
cipal streets and disbanding onl.
when IT was announced that a more
formal program would take place ir
the afternoon.
At 1870 all the schools united In
parade which was followed by
brief talks by Judge T. c. Hart,
Professor McFadden and others. In
the meantime the Siren sounded its
shrieks of victory and the usual ma
tional accompaniment of noise was
not lacking.
Although the notice was brief the
streets we're thronged with people
from every section of the valley and
no artificial means were needed to
stir their enthusiasm.
Mothers we're to be seen in the
throngs whose boys are over there
and whom they may now confidently
hope to welcome again. spared for
ever the dread messages of the
casualty lists.
The disbanding of the parade did
not bring TO and end the celebration
as the evening found another out
pouring the hour being frightened
through the introduction of col
lection of pre-war fireworks which
had been stored for Just such an
emergency.

science with that of the nation in

NINETY Y-F|RST DIVISION
COMMENDED BY PERSH|NC
Composed Almost Entirely of Pa
cific Coast Troops-Two Fallon
Boys in the Fighting

Especial interest attaches to the
announcement that the 91st Divis-
ion of American troops has been in
action by reason of the fact that
at least three Fallon boys--Jack
Aikens. Ira Kent and Herbert
Cook-are known to be members
of this division, which has just been
withdrawn from action after taking
part in the drive through Belgium
in conjunction with the British
troops. The Division Is under COM
mand of Major-General w. H. John
son and has covered itself with
glory, being specially commended by
General Pershing in the following
letter:
Under orders from First Army
the Ninety-first division will be re-
lieved from the front line tonight
and placed in corps reserve.
1.-The corps commander wishes
you to understand that this relief
results solely from a realization of
the higher command that your di-
vision has done its full share in the
recent success and is entitled to rest
for reorganization. This especially
as during the past three days it has
incurred heavy causalties when cir
cumstanees would not permit either
advance or withdrawal.
"At time when the divisions on
its fanks were faltering, and even
falling back, the Ninety-first pushed
ahead and steadily clung to every
yard gained.
I'm its initial performance your
division has established itself firmly
on the list of the commander in
chiefs reliable fighting units. Please
extend to your officers and men my
appreciation of their splendid behay-
ior and my hearty congratulations
on the brilliant record they have
made"
The 91st Division was recruited
almost entirely from the Pacific
Coast and was trained at Camp
Lewis, leaving for the front in July.
When relieved from active duty By
the above order the 91st was at
Audenarde, Belgium, on the Scheldt
river about 25 miles south of Ghent,
and had been fighting continuously
for nine days.
