unknown MAN
MEETS DEATH
Tuesday Morning Train Destroys
Unidentified Man Steal
ing Ride

Some unknown man was killed last
Monday night by westbound train
about two miles east of Caldwell while
apparently stealing ride on No. II
or the mail train. Discovery of the
body was made Tuesday morning by
trainmen on the Pony reported to the
local officials. The body is now at
Peckham- Case awaiting further at
tempts to identify it and for inquest
proceedings, if any are to be held.
No definite clue has yet been un-
covered that might lead to an iden-
LITIGATION of the body. Nothing on
the body could be used as possible
means of tracing the man. He was
clothed heavily wearing three WOODEN
union suits, two pair of overalls and
various outer garments. He carried
sack of carpenters tools, including
two saws, hammer, planes, and diver:
other articles, a blanket roll and .
heavy coat.
Body Badly Mangled.
The body was completely dismem
bered. The head was cut entiref,
from the body as was one arm. A
deep cut ran diagonally across tn,
mans chest and the body was other
wise badly mangled. The trunk was
found on the track between the rail.
while the other segments were scat
tered for a distance of almost two
blocks. No hat or cap could bs
found.
The presumption is that he wa.
riding on the train and someway fel
under the speeding cars. That tn
train was making too time is evi
denced by the cast that parts of tn
body were carried a considerable dis
lance.
An employee of local garage sug
gested that the body might be tina
of Mr.. Bailey. A Boise woman who
might be able to identify it was sen
for and was expected here Tuesda!

SEVERE WEATHER
Thing Of MEMORY
DECEMBER II LAST DAY OF
COLD SNAP-MUD RULES.

While the world still circles in its
orbit and the expected $50 degrees be-
low zero on December II did not ma
teralize, weather prophets are taking
considerable pride in the fact that the
fateful day practically concluded the
cold snap. Since that time, Caldwell
pedestrians have been slipping and
sliding on slippery sidewalks or wad-
ing down sloppy streets.
Christmas weather came to an end
about week too early but Christmas
weather was hard on coal supplies
and in general, people are willing to
forego sleigh bells and take mud in
preference to watching the dwindline
fuel supply. Arrival of three cars OF
coal Friday completely obliterated any
possibility of real coal shortage for
the time being. All orders were
promptly supplied and for the frs,
time in month, dealers were anxious
to dispose of their supply to pre-
vent paying demurrage on the cars.

pressed regarding the probable fate

About 225 farmers are the stock
holders and good support has been re-
ceived from few of the leading bus

The campaign for the purchase OF
the mill has been directed by H. G.

NO FAMILY IN

Every Living Mortal Here, Says
Rev. Rice. Will Be Able To
Observe Christmas In True
Spirit.

Every Caldwell family, no matter
in what circumstances they may be,
will. observe this Christmas accord
ing to Rev. B. w. Rice, who has
charge of the associated Charities for
this city. Tuesday final and sur
vey was made of the town to discover
whether any possible commissions had
been made. Ample funds with sup
Elementary stocks of food and cloth
ing are available to provide every
needy person and family with real
Christmas cheer.
Tuesday afternoon Rev. Rice wen,
to the banks and obtained rs new
shining silver dollars. These were
distributed among as many children
who are believed never to have pos
sessed like sum of money in their
lives with the possibility of spending
it exactly as they pleased for their
own pleasure. Rev. Rice believes that
more real joy will be afforded these
children by this means than by any
other where similar expenditure IS
involved.
Will Get Big Value.
Each of the new dollars was mark
ed conspicuously with blot of brigh,
red ink squarely in the center of the
coin. Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Rice
informed local merchants, of the plan
with a request that those dollars be
watched so that the purchasers might
receive bountifu1 value for their mon
ey. According to the response CIV
en- him by the merchants it is doubt
full if any dollars spent in Caldwell
this fall go farther than will those
ones with the red ink mark.
In addition to this means of bring
ing cheer to families, about so sacks
of potatoes will have been distributed
80 of them during the past few days
Beans have also been provided and a
whole beef was purchased, cut up and

Considering the high cost of Twin

STORES TANNED
WITH SHOPPERS
Christmas Buyers Flood Bust.
ness Houses To Buy
Offerings

Caldwell stores have been virtually
swamped this week with the larges,
flood of Christmas shoppers that the
city has ever seen. Streets are filled
with people during the entire day.
Thos who come in the early morning
to do their shopping find that many
others have the same excellent idea
and that little is. to be gained by such
method. Pleas that shoppers do
their buying early together with as
sertions that late shoppers might find
stocks depleted apparently had little
effect though some of the more far
sighted buyers took advantage of the
situation.
Many local dealers made little eff
fort to cater to the Christmas trade
by stocking up with special holiday
goods. They assert that it is almost
impossible purchase such articles
and that quality cannot be relied up
on az is the case under ordinary con-
ditions. In such business houses, on.
ly staple articles usually carried or
hand were diplayed to attract the hol
iday trade. Care was taken to give
them holiday appeal and the buyer:
re seemingly we'll satisfied with theil
purchases.
All Have Money.
As was expected, shoppers are wei
provided with money and only the
best of goods are sought. Price is :
secondary consideration with most
shoppers so long as they are other
wise satisfied.
Propaganda in support of saving
has been thrown to the winds while
everybody is preparing for rear old
time Christmas.
Farmers and other out of town Gus
toners have crowded every store all
week. Counters have been lined UP
with people waiting their turn to have
salesman supply their wants. Christ
mas trees and other holiday decorat'
ion have disappeared as if by mira
Gle.
Many social events are being pfan
ned for the holidays. Students home
from the various institutions are the
incentive for many of them. Ban
quets have been arranged for weeks
| in advance. Indications point to on,
of the most joyous holiday events o
years in Caldwell tomorrow and fo
the week to come.
