CONFESSES KILLING
IDAHO WOMAN = ADMITS CRIME
FOR WHICH HER HUSBAND Is
SERVING TIME IN PENITENTI-
AIRY.

Mrs. Frances ErnstWednesday con-
fessed before the state pardons board
at Boise, Idaho, that she and not her
husband, who is serving time ut the
state penitentiary, is guilty of the
murder of F. A. Rehberg. The mur-
der took iplace two years ago at Reh-
berg's cabin in the mountain fastness
of Lemhi county.
Divorced from his wife, Ernst had
heard that she was living at Reh-
berg's cabin and had visited the place.
At the trial he testified that ne was
at the cabin al the time of the killing,
but that Mrs, Ernst had shot Reh-
berg with a rife. He helped her bury
the body and then departed. Mrs.
Ernst's testimony placed, the blame
upon her husband, though she later
was charged as an accessory and
pleaded guilty.
The story the woman told Wednes-
day corroborated her husbands ver-
sion of the killing. She said she her
self had fired the rifle that killed Reh-
berg, after he, Rehberg, had threaten
ed her life.

FROM FORMER SALMONiTE

The old home friends of Mrs. Ada

will be interested in extracts from q

rising a change of her address at 14S5
Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles. The
interesting letter in part follows;
You may have learned from

the Saints" and have arrived at
the ''City of the Angels" a degree
higher.

weeks at the beach at Santo Mon

California and expect to make my
home here.
Los Angeles is wonderful
city. They claim population of
100000 and it is building up very
fast, big business blocks in the
heart of the city and thousands
of dwellings all kinds and colors
stretching out in suburbs in all
directions-and still rents are sky
high and houses hard to find to
rent. / mean everything in the
housing line is for rent at exorbi-
tant prices, but the tourist season
is nearly over now. Every train
east is crowded to capacity, Pull
man reservations must be made a
week ahead to get berth, but |
suppose when they are gone rents
will be lowered and accommoda-
tions will be available in the city
but here at the beaches rents are
doubled during July and August,
SO many come here where it is
cooler. Many wealthy citizens of
Los Angeles have wonderful
summer homes here.

the paper, and miss it so much.

Z. l. Call, who was down this week
from his Hayden basin ranch, says
the two April snow storms amounted
to a depth of four feet If all the fall
had laid, the heaviest he ever knew
in twelve years in Lenihi !. county.
Spring work has been delayed a

asks Mr.. Call. You couldn't sell any
thing in these piping times of piping
prosperity If you raised it."

Strong for Home Paper


mo, 1 don't take the local paper

other as they were waiting at the

They had just been looking at

that's about all l need. 1t has a few

well that's one way to look at It,"
said the other farmer, but I've always
felt that a local newspaper was a
pretty valuable asset to any commu-
nifty, and if everybody took the atti-
tude you do, there couldn't be any To-
cal newspaper. OF course we could
not get along without our daily papers,
because they keep us informed about
what's going on throughout the ma
ton and throughout the world, but
when you say that they take care of
our local news, l don't think you are
sticking close to facts. They simply
can't, and the publishers haven't any
personal interest IN our community
the way our editor has.
II have always felt that got value

1 don't have an idea that running a
country newspaper is any more of
wealth-producing proposition than run
ming a farm. So long as I've got two
dollars l intend that the rural mail
carrier is going to tuck a copy of the
home paper in my box every week"
That farmer knows that the COM
munity newspaper is a necessity in
his home; that without it his home
would be incomplete and his part in
the community would be unsatisfactory
to himself and his family. He knows
the full value of the local newspaper
as an institution.
