Another moOnshine still has
been found in central Idaho. u.
. S. Internal Revenue Collector
Gray of Boise, assisted by Sher-
if Young and Deputy Fuller
of Adams county, last Friday
discovered in operation a still
at the old Clay station, on Lit
tie Salmon river, in Adams
county, not far from the Idaho
county line. Operating the
still, it is said, was a Mrs. Hen
bricks, an aged woman, who,
according to the authorities,
was engaged in manufacture
ing alleged liquor at the time
the discovery was made.
ARREST BILL HENDRICKS
Bill Hendricks, aged 30, son Of the
woman who was alleged to have been
manufacturing whiskey, was arrested
the following day, after a hunt which
terminated at a sheep camp on Rapid
river at the mouth Of Shingle creek,
two and a half miles above Pollock, and
in Idaho county.
The arrest of Bill Hendricks was
made by Sheriff w. H. Eller of Idaho
county and Deputh Sheriff Fuller or
Adams county, as a result of informa-
ton furnished at the time of the discOv
cry by the officials of the moOnshine
still at Clay station.
" Did you make that?n one Of the
officers asked of the aged woman, when
he discovered what was supposed to be
moonshine liquor.
BILL MADE THAT
Bill made that" she replied, "but |

man in. -
II should say a rather expensive
oath, " remarked the officer.
Inquiry revealed that Bill Hendricks |
had gone to the sheep camp on Rapid
lver. Packing up the moonshine still

lad been manufactured, the officers
proceeded on their hunt for Bill Hen
lrlcks- Reaching Higgins, on Saturday,

SO CALDER COLT USED

White was shot by a So caliber Colt
special, double action revolver, accord
ing to Sheriff Eller, who is in possess
ion of the gun.
The sheriff 3 investigation revealed
that White had sold to McMeeken
mining claim and house and contents,
at the mouth of Wind river. The sale
took place a few weeks before the
killing. White, who had been at the
place, was supposed to leave on the day
he was shot. A quarrel between White
and McMeeken arose over a crockery jar
and ended in the killing of White.
Whether McMeeken shot in self-de-
Tense, as claimed, the authorities are
unable to decide The fact that one of
the bullets penetrated the back of
White s head is declared by some to
constitute evidence against McMeeken.
White s hat, through which the bullet
passed, is held as an exhibit.
Immediately McMeeken had shot
White, he went to the ranch of his bro
Their, Sam McMeeken, two and a half
miles up Wind river. There he met his
brother and Bob Hilands, whom he in
formed of the shooting, and asked them
to 20 to the cabin and see what cOndi-
ton White was in.
Idaho County free press. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho Territory) 1886-current, 1919-05-15
AFRAID OF WHITE

Neil McN[eeken, it is said, refused to
return with the men to the cabin. for
he is quoted as saying he did not know
whether White was dead, and if he
were not dead he felt White would
shoot him.
Sam McMeeken and Hilands went to
the cabin, where they found White Is
dead body.
Owing to the hot weather in the can
yon, the body of White soon began to
show signs of decomposition, and it
was removed to a place beneath shade
tree, on the bank of the river, where it
was covered by a tent. The body was
in this position when Sheriff Eller ar
rived.

Eller, members of the coroner's jury

Judging from the advance sale of
tickets for the benefit concert Of the

 The men of Tiburon are universal ly recognized by certain meekness of expression and a subdued demean- or, the outgrowth of generations of submission to the will of their wives

 Although the Seri Indians are re- served and mild by nature, they are good fighters when their country is invaded, and explorers and gold hunt CTS who lave negkcted to pave the way for their coming by taking guides known to the Seris have paid for their daring with their lives.

 Strangers who neglect this precau- ton are all too likely to drop out of sight, and although the Indians and their white friends resent the charge of cannibaisn, bodies of explorers who have disappeared on Tiburon are never found.
