DEAD MEN TELL NO
TALES" LIVE MEN DO

"Dead men tell no tales" is
a common remark, but that live
men do tell tales is apparent to =
The Pioneer. Just before press
time Saturday / report was
made to The Pioneer that three
men had been found dead in a
shack near Funkley with their
bodies riddled with bullets. AS
near as can be aseertained now,
the report was "tale."
! The Pioneer attempted to
confirm the report yesterday,
but so far has been unable to
find anyone in the vicinity of
the reported "crime" who
knows anything about it. 1t is
the custom Of the paper to con-
fir many such reports before
publication is given them, but
on this occasion the report was
published in good faith, since
sufficient time was not allowed
to verify it before going to
press.
