YOUNG DESPERATE
SHOT AND KILLED
SIXTEEN YEAR OLD BOY PLANS
WHOLESALE MURDER OF
FATHER AND OFFICERS

MARTINEZ, Cal-Frank Tutt, Jr.
16 year old boy, shot by Constable
Charles Chapman Saturday in a pis-
tol duel following his alleged refusal
to submit to arrest, had planned to
murder his father, Constable Chap
man, Judge Goethals and the district
attorney, A. B. Timing, and then
commit suicide, it was announced at
the office of the district attorney here
tonight.
According to TUFTS -year-old
brother, who told of the alleged
plans, Frank armed himself with a
heavy-calibred automatic pistol and
two pockets full of cartridges Friday
night. He had started to carry out
his alleged design Saturday when he
met death.
According to Tutt, Sr, Frank Tutt
became vicious and unmanageable
when he was beaten in a fist fight
with his brother Tony, ID years old,
who had submitted to the older lads
bullying for years.
Following this occurrence the
father said Frank announced his in
tention of becoming as "hard boiled
as the bandit Tracy" He made
study of the bandits life and sought
to emulate him. He refused to come
home nights but slept under the front
porch. On his deathbed he answered
his fathers request for a farewell
kiss with a curse.

GAME BIRDS KILLED
BY COLD WEATHER
DEPUTY GAME WARDEN SAYS
BIRDS FROZE TO DEATH
ALTHOUGH FED

The cold wave, with its unpreced-
ented low temperature and deep snow
played havoc with the game birds of
this section according TO the state
ment of L. E. Brooks, deputy state
game warden, who has been invest
| igating conditions since the weather
became warm. He says that a great
many quail, Chinese phesants and
other game birds died of starvation
or froze to death during the extrem-
| ely cold weather. Quail and Chinese
pheasants suffered more than other
game birds, while Hungarian pleas
ants, of which there are goodly
number in this section, suffered the
least.
The Hungarian pheasants are hardy
and good rustlers" said Mr.. Brooks.
''and they withstood the severe
weather better than other birds. These
birds are protected by law and have
multiplied. rapidly. Hundreds of quail
froze to death close to feed. | asked
the farmers to put out feed and the
state paid for feed put out for game
birds, but some of them froze to
death close to the feed. At my place
there has been covey of 20 quail. l
put out feed for them and they ate it.
They stayed close TO the barn and six
of them found their way into the
barn. These six ade all that were
saved of the 90 I found the other
IA frozen stiff by the feed that had
been put out for them.
81 have found a number of Chinese
pheasant cocks standing, life-like,
under the evergreen trees in the
timber and walking up to them found
them frozen hard as rocks, but stand
ing in natural positions. Many Chin
ese pheasants froze to deaf while
many starved because of the deep
snow
"a great many of these birds have
congregated along the Potlatch creek
between Kendrick and Arrow juno
ton since the snow went off in the
canyon. They came down from the
hills, where the snow was deep and
there are hundreds of them along
this stream and canyon.
But the loss of pheasants and quai
has been enormous. Quail were be-
coming plentiful. They have been
protected for a long time and al
though there was an open season
from November l to Is few quail
were killed. Some of our best hunters
killed less than a dozen during the
open season. Had it not been for the
hard winter there would
nave been lots of quail and pleas
ants in this county next fall"
Saturday Mr. Brooks sold at auc-
ion the elk teeth taken from the elk
lilled by Charles Sawyer, in this
county, last Sunday. The teeth were
bought by Guy Wofe, secretary of
he Elks lodge for $18. This, with the
neat seized by the state and sold at
luction, and the fine paid by Sawyer,
rings the amount received by the
,ame fund from this elk to S292.

.CEMETARY REPORT
IS NOW COMPLETE
CITY CLERK STRONG FINISHES
WORK OF TRANSFERRING
CEMETERY RECORDS

City Clerk j. r. Strong has com
pleted complete transcribing of the
records of interments in the Moscow
cemetery. Former records we're not
arranged alphabetically and to trace
the record of an individual death was
difficult task, often requiring days
time to accomplish.
There are almost 14O0 entries of in
terments and to transcribe them to the
new books with the necessary data
has taken Mr.. Strong over six months,
he using only odd moments not re-
quired in other duties. Much of the
work was done outside of office hours.
A number of interments, where the
people had died at places other than
Moscow and brought here for burial,
are found to be entirely missing from
the records. The earlier records were
kept by the chief of police, but in 1911
"a change was made IN the state law
and now the city clerk keeps the rec
ords of interments. Another interest
ing item relating to the cemetery is
the recent advance in the price of lots,
which was made by the city council in
June, 1919. Formerly whole lot sold
for $40, now a half lot costs from $40
to $40, according to location, and a
full lot from s35 to $40.
Mr.. Strong has also made complete
record of cemetery lots sold, which
were formerly not alphabetically ar
ranged. This was a lengthy task as
the description of lots are mostly by
metes and bounds instead of by lot
and block number. This work was
also done without extra compensation

ton. 1t works in the crown and
roots of clover and a field where it
has operated looks as if it had suf-
fered by hard frost. 1t is estimat-
ed that in the Twin Falls district SO
to rs per cent of the fields are badly
affected and it is important that the
pest be eradicated now in order to
save immense loss in the future.
Congressman French is having up
with the committee of agriculture
the advisability Of maintaining most
liberal cooperation with the states
and private owners of timber in pro-
tecting against forest fires for the
coming year. Mr.. French has point
ed out that millions of dollars worth
of timber were destroyed last season
by forest fires. He urges that pre-
vention is the safest, the cheapest,
and altogether the best means of
meeting forest fires.
University Man is HonOred.
Lieut. Commander Paul Foster,
who was appointed to the U. S..
Naval academy from Idaho and was
a former University of Idaho stu
dent, has recently been awarded the

his distinguished service as an of
ficer during the recent war Dur
ing large part of the war, Lieut..
Commander Foster was in charge of

Nonpartisan league. Mr.. Townley
further declared that the coming
year would furnish farmers victories
at the polls in others of the thirteen
states in which, he says, the league
has an active working organization.
He asserts such election prospects
are favorable in Idaho, Nebraska
and Texas.
Reviewing briefly the projects
adopted by the state of North Dako-
ia as fostered by the Nonpartisan
league, Mr.. Townley declared all had
thus far met with success. He sug-
gested that a court decision might
be required to determine the effect
of a measure passed by the state as

WILL MOSCOW HAVE
A NEW POSTMASTER
JUDGE MORGAREIDGE, IN AN.
ONYMOUS NOTE, WARNED
TO PREPARE FOR DEATH

Prepare for death" is the warn
ing Judge w. F. Morgareidge re
ceived Sunday evening in an an
onymous note dropped in the out
side mail box at the foot of the steps
leading into the postoffice from
Washington street.
The envelope was unstamped anG
was addressed, in lead pencil, to %
w. Morgareidge, Postmaster General
Moscow, Idaho" The envelope con
tanned card about an inch wide anc
two inches long, on which was written
on one side: Prepare to meet death
Judge Steal" On the reverse side
was written "You are to be shoot to-
morrow | hear" The writing was in
lead pencil and evidently was an at
tempt to disguise the hand write
Some who saw the note believe it
was written by child, but Judge
Morgareidge is inclined to believe it
was written by an enemy and the mis-
spelling and evident attempt to dis
guise the handwriting we're inten-
tional.
One theory is that the note was
written by some person who had been
uciu W sIIl6 UlSGIlCC COuIC Uy CuuSC
Morgareidge when the latter was pro
bate judge and that Judge Steele, of
the district court had sentenced the
person, who is thirsting for revenge
against both of the judges. This may
be a good theory, as Judge Steele's
name is mentioned in the note.
Judge Morgareidge does not take
the matter as a Joke. He put the
note into the hands of officers last
night. Prosecuting Attorney Nisbet
was called from church and given the
facts in the case and began work at
once. Sheriff Woody was also called
into the case and is working on it. 1t
it understood the postal authorities
will also be asked to investigate the
matter and no stone will be left un-
turned to locate the sender of the
warning.
1t is understood that several petit
tions asking for appointment as post
master, which is really fat job and
much in demand, are being prepared
for circulation in case anything
should happen to the present post
master" With prospects Of a change
in administration year from next
March, the job of postmaster at Mos
COW is alluding to the faithful demo-
Gratis who realize there may not be
another chance for many years. But
Judge Morgareidge is not taking any
chances of being Shoot today or any
other day, for the minions of the law
are also warned and will protect the
judge from an attempt at assassina-
ton
