forty-eight hours in their home here
beside the bodies of their mother
father. and sister.
Then one of the girls recovered suf-
fiCiently to drag herself to a telephone

the discovery was made that Mason

gone insane Tuesday night, killed ms

The first intimation of the tragedy
was this telephone message received
by DIR. John H. Carlisle late yester-
day:
This is Nina Strong. VIII you
please come to our house right away 4.
Everybody is sick here
While Nine has not been able TO
give a Connected account of what hap
pened. police have constructed what
they believed was the scene enacted In
the Strong home Tuesday night.
They believe Strong, who left the
home of his lawyer at o'clock that
night. planned the murder earlier in
the day. Feigning sleep when his
wife retired. he is believed to have
arisen and chloroformed his victims
A bottle and sponge were found in
the bathroom. He welded the ak
with terrific force. His wife, thought
to be the first victim, was struck
with the sharp edge of the AK. The
others were struck with the blunt
edge. The three children still alive
received comparatively glancing
blows.
After Strong was convinced the
whole family was dead he went into
the bathroom and slashed his throat.
Strong suffered a nervous break
down last summer, but was believed
to have fully recovered.

SOLDIERS HOME CAR
UNPR0F|TABLE, SAYS
COMPANY MANAGER
=. w. Hall, of Street Car Com
pany, Explains Discontinue
ance, Before Public Utilities
Commission.

Lack of patronage and a resulting
excess in operation costs We're given
by II. w. Hail. manager of the Boise
Street Car company, as the reasons for
eiscontinuance of part of it's Soldiers
Home, line, when he went on the stand
this morning before the public utilities
commission, which had cited the COM
pany. to show cause why the line had
been partially discontinued.
The commission issued an order last
winter allowing the company to raise
its fares. but expressly stipulated that
1T was not to discontinue operation OF
the Soldiers Home line, as it had
esked.
KNEW OF ORDER.
The street car company, since that
time, has changed hands. 1t was
brought out during the testimony that
Mr. Hall knew of the existing order of
the commission affecting the Soldiers
Home line.
Mr.. Hall said that some relief must
be provided or the company must go
cut of business. In reply to a ques-
ton by City Attorney Upton, Mr.. Hall
said he believed the company should
be relieved from paying any taxes for
repair of pavements. The company
has been able to pay salaries of it's
workmen, and has paid other operating
costs, but has not been able to meet
its tax payments, Mr.. Hall testified
He expressed the belief that the
company could continue to operate the
Lind to Twenty fourth and Bella streets.
He said that practically all the reg
ular patrons could be accommodated
hy service to that point although some
would have to walk a few blocks to
reach the car. The commission has
summoned other street car officials
and they will testify this afternoon.
