in all Lemhi county, known as Dye
Kee. widow of Dye Kee. former
well known Chinese merchant
in Custer county, was burned to
death this morning in her hoyei
home where SHE lived alone In Sat-

the old woman lost her life IS no, as
inviting as many pig pens. II rs
Reached by steps that lead three or
four feet below the level of the ground

When China Jack discovered smoke

about 10 o'clock he sought to open
the door but found 1t barred. The
alarm brought the firemen who turn
led into the room a stream or water.

MAC PYEATT BUYS
ADJOINING RANCH

The fine Carmen creek property be-
longing to Harry Kelly and acquired
from Harry Hill was sold yesterday to
Mac Pyeatt, who owns the adjoining
so-called Boomer ranch. In this last
addition to his holdings Mr.. Pyeatt
has acquired 200 acres comprising one
of the best ranches in the valley, with
scarcely an acre that is not arabic
land Mr.. Kelly received $4,000 for
the property. Last year he paid
$24 900 for it but that purchase in
cluded $6,500 worth of cattle after
ward sold off, besides hay crop
since sold for upawrd OF $4,000, SO
that his net profit from the transac-
tion is more than $4,000.
1t is interesting to recall the recent
sales of the same farm in which
the Kelly. real estate agency has had
"a hand. At first some years ago it
was owned by Billy Huffman, for
whom Kelly sold it to Morrison for
$S,000 In turn Kelly sold it again
Ito Harry Hill for $4,000, both sales
including its stock of cattle. Then
when Kelly bought it himself he paid
$4,000 for farm and livestock, sell
ing off the stock and hay as stated.
The Pyeatt ranch home adjoins
the property just bought and. COM
lprises 100 acres. Both places will
make up a splendid estate OF more
than a half section or $50 acres, a
holding any man may well feel proud
lof. The owner is one of the younger
sons of Thomas Pyeatt, Lemhi val
lley pioneer citizen, who has made a
fortune in the livestock business.
Young Pyeatt bought his home on
Carmen creek two years ago and is
himself a progressive and successful

were bold adventurers who put over"

Eight girls employed by the Devils

morning following the discharge of

The contention of the girls Is that

so unless the compensation bureau
should in its coming report announce
that they were ',underpaid. but they
merely asked that their union be rec

called upon Mr.. Johnson and was de-

was discharged Immediately there
after. Upon the discharge Of the
girl eight other members Of the
