Several inquiries have come to The Star relative to the status of the so- called Hog Law. Such law has been passed by the legislature but contains clause which in effect nulh- fies it, and it is expected that some more definite action will be taken be- fore the end of the session.

Ithreshing outfit from old Reliable A.
S. Frost of the Idaho Garage, and
will take delivery next week. They
get 1920 tractor and a 22-42 separ-
ator. The outfit has been ordered
for immediate shipment and will be
here and in the fields as soon as har-

nounced last fall that if he ever
bought treshing outfit it would be
a Twin Citv, "just like Ernest Eng
strom's" and he came to town Thurs
day and in a few minutes closed the
deal for the outfit. Mr.. Engstrom,
who lives on this side of Paradise
mountain, bought one of the outfits
from Mr.. Frost last fall and it did
such splendid work that all of the
farmers in that section, who saw it
operate, are enthusiastic Twin City
boosters. The tractor has been dem
onstrated as an ideal farm tractor
for all kinds of farm work, and the
being all steel and practic-
ally fire proof and shown that its
work is as nearly perfect as can be.

ALLEGED MURDER TO
GET HEAVY INSURANCE

Roseburg, Ore.-A warrant was is
sued late today for the arrest of Dr.
B. M. Brumfield, a dentist, following
the fndin of his wrecked and burned
automobile beside the road near here
with the headless body of man be-
meath it. The warrant charged Brum-
field with the murder of Dennis Rus
sell, laborer, and it is based on the
theory, Sheriff Stamer said, that
Brumfeld killed Russell at the lat
ter's home and hauled the body in
his car to the scene of the wreck,
where he blew off the head with
stick of dynamite, after placing his
own ring and other identifying arti-
cles on theh slain man.
Investigation disclosed, the sheriff
said, that Brumfield was heavily in
volved financially and that he carried
life and accident insurance to the
amount of $4,000 in favor of his
wife. Mrs. Brumfield today identi-
fed the headless trunk found beneath
The automobile as that of her hus-
band, although other persons who
xnew both men said it was that of
Russell.

PEACE AGREEMENT
WITH THE WAHAB|
BRITISH GOVERNMENT MAKES
working ARRANGEMENTS
WITH POWERFUL TRIBE.

London.-(By A. PA novel
working arrangement on the mo
peace, no pay" principle has been en-
tered into by the British government
with the Wahabi, a powerful Arabian
desert tribe. The Wahabi are nomads
and belong to sect which Colonial
Secretary Winston Churchill describ-
ed in the House of Commons as bear
ing the same relation to orthodox
Islam as the most militant forms of
Calvinism would have borne to Rome
in the fiercest times of religious
wars.
They are, he said, austere, intoI
erent, well armed and bloodthirstv
and they regard it as an article of
duty as we'll as of faith to kill all
who do not share their opinions.
Moreover, they are very dangerous to
the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
and the whole institution of the pil-
grimage
ca, who enjoys British protection, have
suffered grievously by the interruption
OF the pilgrimages. Therefore, to as
slst him and King Hussein of the He'd
JAZZ, who has been in constant war
fare with the Arabian Calvinists,'
the latter are to receive 10000 pounds
annually, so long as they refrain from
annoying their neighbors and do not
interfere with the candidacy of Hus
sein's son, the Emir Feisul, for the
rulership of the new Mesopotamian
state
Colonel Lawrence of the colonial Of
ice who has lived among the Wahabi
for years, told an interviewer that
they were indeed a most violent
people. They are, he said, fanatically
and would kill their
men and women, for smoking even a
cigarette. The way they correct their
women is to tie them up in bags and
beat them numerically with palm
,anes.
Each man has three wives. Should }
any of them go out of doors, the code !,
flows him to have her put to death. :
This is because they believe that if {
ny other man looks at her she is =
Contaminated and that if a woman
,oes ouside her home she is certain to G
o wrong. y
Wearing silk dresses or any costly !
merry, precious stones or medals is a
lso penal offense "
I'm no sense are they decadent f
eople,' Colonel Lawrence continued. t
"They are virile and as austere as b
hey are bloodthirsty and brave. 1t k
hould be a cheap $4,000 pounds a R
ear to buy their good will and to
eep them quiet"
The latter view, however, does not
leet with universal acceptation. la
