sounded like Eyes" Then both he
and Joe commenced firing at the
Indians, while Bob and l made for
the store for more guns and ammu-
milton. Just as l passed Pike he
fired at an Indian, who dropped
instantly. 1t turned out later to be
a squaw, although Pike said he
only knew it was an Indian.
Bob and 1 snatched guns out of
the rack and worked our way back
to the kitchen. Just as l came out
l saw Pike throw his Winchester
into the hollow of his left arm and
hug it to his body, to pump an
other cartridge into the chamber.
Then | knew he had been hit again.
1t was now general fusilade
and the Indians were flying for the
brush and shelter as fast as they
could. Four white men with Win
chesters were more than they cared
to tackle, and soon nothing in the
shape of an Indian was in sight.
Pike was plainly getting weaker
and soon commenced to stagger.
"Joe, I'm gone" he said, as hel
grabbed the counter for support.
Then we helped him into the house
Just after we had done so he put
his fingers to his mouth and we
could hear the broken bones graf
ing against each other. Then he
threw something hard upon the
floor, which I afterwards picked
up and found it to be piece of jaw
bone with four teeth fastened to it.
Joe and Bob led him into the
-oom, which was also the general
bedroom, fixed him as comfortable
IS they could and then returned to
he store for consultation.

would undoubtedly die unless hel

Craig to Grant
Pay Increase
Despite Veto
Comptroller Says Mayor Had
No Legal Right to Reject
Proposed 20 Per Gent Ad-
vance and Will Fight Act
Bonds May Be Issued
Taxpayers Suit May Re-
strain Payment Of Sal
aries as Official Plans

Following the veto by Mayor Hylan
on Monday of the proposed 20 per cent
salary increase for about $4,000 city
employees, Comptroller Craig issued a
statement yesterday, declaring that the
Mayor acted without legal authority
and that the Comptroller would pay
salaries based on the new schedule if
presented to his office by any of the
departments.
Comptroller Craig insisted that the
Mayor did not have the power to veto
the resolution of the Board Of Alder
men, taken on recommendation of the
Board of Estimate, providing for the
increases. He cited Section Sc of the
charter, under which salaries are fixed
Mr.. Craig interpreted this section a
giving the Mayor power to affix his veto
only in instances where the Board of
Aldermen vote to reduce salaries. In
the present instance no such action was
taken by the aldermen, and, therefore,
according to Mr.. Craig, Mayor Hylan
could not act within the power as de-
fined by the charter.
Mayor Can't Veto, He Says
Besides this, the Comptroller argues,
the Mayor has no power of veto over
the action of the Board of Estimate or
over the combined action of the Board
of Estimate and the Board of Aldermen.
"The situation is analogous to that
of the passage Of the annual budget"
said Mr.. Craig. after the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment adopts the
budget the Board of Aldermen may re-
duce items, but it cannot make in
creases. Such reductions are subject
to the veto power of the Mayor, but
no one would suggest that the Mayor
can veto the entire budget after it has
been passed by the Board of Estimate
and the Board of Aldermen. This is
precisely what the present attempt
amouts to in similar situation. The
power does not exist
Comptroller Craig added that ne has
ample power to raise the necessary
S5,0Q0,000 by means of cpecial revenue
bonds to meet the 20 per cent salary
increase and that he will exercise that
power
VIII Approve Increase
Every pay roll duly presented for
the increased rates will be honored,"
he said "If there are any employees,
exempt or otherwise, whose compensa-
ton shall hereafter be found to be
excessive, it can be corrected in the
1921 budget"
Whether any department head will
present pay roll with the new schedule
of salaries, in view of the announced
objection of Mayor Hylan, remains to
be seen. Also there is a possibility of
taxpayers action to restrain Comp
troller Craig from paying salaries

Mayor Hylan, in returning the meas
ure to the Board of Aldermen, said he

was not equitable, in that it gave little

ployees.

Printing Facts

A second color can be success
fully used to add a touch of bright
ness to the page. But remember
it should be a spot of color, not a
splash. Some users of printing
seem to be endeavoring to get
their moneys worth when they
pay for second color. They use
it for borders, rules, headings,
captions, subcaptions, and even
for words they think worthy of
emphasis. The result is distract
ing. Whereas, had they limited
the color to large, simple initial,
the effect would be infinitely moro
pleasing.

FINDS GOLD NUGGET
IN CHICKEN GIZZARD

Gus Bircbmeir killed valuable
roster Monday. He didn't know how
valuable the said rooster was, however,
until the operation of creating a vac
cum in its interior was under way, as
preliminary to cooking it for dinner,
when a large gold nugget was found in
it's crop.
Gus brought the nugget to town yes
terday and had it tested at the drug
store. 1t was gold all right, and was
worth probably $500. Gus is going to
find where that nugget nested when it
was picked up by the rooster, If as
siduous prospecting will get him any
where. Nuggets are often found in
the crops or gizzards of all kinds of
poultry, being picked up with sand
in minute particles. Here's hoping
Gus will find a gold mine. Somebody
said he was going to kill all his chick
ems for the purpose of getting the
gold out of them, but we guess that is
just Josh. ."-Latah County Press.

SHIPWRECKED SAILORS
ARE FINALLY RESCUED

Manila, P. I.-(By A. P.) Thirty
four Malay sailors, shipwrecked and
finally landed on Batab Island, near

Manila today in a serious condition
from hunger. They spent nearly a
month on the barren island, subslst-

wild fruit they were able to gather,
finally being picked up by j recon
noitering party of Philippine conAt ta-

island of Samar.
The Malays set sail from Manfiias,
Dutch possession in the Celebes "a,
in small vessel loaded with rice
which they expected to trade to tie

sci was capsized during a storm and

APRONS SWEATERS
FAvOR|TE GARMENTS
UNIVERSITY GIRLS PREFER
THESE TO DANCING SLIPPERS
AND RAIN COATS

In a group of 20 average University
| of Idaho freshmen girls recently
querried by the department of home
economics for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the proper wardrobe for a col
lege girl, it was found that the co-eds
average six aprons to every pair of
dancing slippers, that they show a
strong inclination towards wearing
sweaters and an equally strong disin-
clination to the use of raincoats and
rubbers. Only two girls in every five
owned pair of the latter, according
to their answers, but each said she
would buy some Immediately.
The investigation was made to as
certain exactly what in the way of
clothes a college girl should have in
order to be comfortably dressed and
able to take advantage of the social
advantages offered without having a
surplus. No attempt was made to
keep down the amount of clothing
needed.
A twofold benefit is expected from
the information cleaned. First it
will show the coed where she is de-
ficient in the matter of clothing, und
second, it will show both the girl and
her parents If she is spending more
than is necessary for personal adorn-
Iment.
The average wardrobe was found to
be (exclusive of undergarments) one
suit, one heavy and one light coat,
ra1ncoat, wool sweater, three hats, a
tam, one for school and one for dress;
two wool dresses, one silk and two
WOOL skirts, one evening dress, one
cotton and two silk afternoon dresses,
two cotton and three silk blouses, one
wool and two cotton middies, one pair
OF cotton and six pairs of silk ctocL
1ngs. The coed should have five
pairs OF shoes, one high pair for
dress and one high pair for school,
and one pair each of pumps, oxfords
and dancing slippers, and one pair of
rubbers.
Nearly every girl lacked at least one
OF these items and for the entire group
only the following pieces were owned
by each; high shoes, silk stockings,
SILK afternoon dress, evening dress
wool school dress, coat and suit.
