Snake" Ames. who was a great
football player and a star baseball
brilliant, also came close to the
heights in golf while he was giving
his game more attention some years
ago. And those picking on Shep
Homans, All-American in 1890 al d

distinct shock.
The Vast Switch.
What a distance the AIl-American

That first team had eleven men

Last year Princeton was the only
team that had two men-Lourie and
Keck. The West had four and the
South one. With Pittsburgh and
Penn State included, the Atlantic
seaboard had only four men. with

DISPUTE OVER BUILD
ING ENDS IN KILLING

Last Sunday afternoon j. II. Mudd,
well known rancher of Little Lost
river valley, was shot and killed by
Clinton Wcymire, also rancher al
that valley.
The alteration which led up to .hc
killing arose over the disputed pos
session of building.
Sheriff Cummins was notified of the
killing and he, with Dr. Kirtley, left
at once for the scene of the trouble.
Upon his arrival there the sheriff
placed Mr.. Weymire under arrest and
brought him back to Challis.
The body of the murdered man was
brought here Tuesday and an inquest
over the remains was held We ines
day, the jury finding that j. III. Mudd
had come to his death from bullet
fired from gun in the hands of Clin-
ten Weymire.
Mr.. Weymire will have a pralimi-
nary hearing in the Probate Court ut
an early date.
According to the story of the de-
fendant he had gone down to the
building in question and had hauled
one load of the material away, having
in his possession a court order per-
mitting him TO do so. On his way to
his home with this load of material
he was intercepted by Mudd who lred
two shots in the air in an effort to
stop Weymire. Upon his arrival
home Mr., Weymire, in thinking the
matter over, decided that perhaps Mr..
Mudd was in some possession of some
court order and he thought IL best
TO go back down to the disputer prop
erty and ascertain If any such order
or notice had been posted on the
premises.
II was while thus engaged that Mr..
Mudd came over from his home, us
ing vile language, according to Wey-
mife, and being In quite n hostile
mood. Mudd got of his horse at the
fence which surrounds the property
in question ami advanced toward
Weymire who claims TO have warned
Mudd back, saying that he was not
looking for trouble.
Mudd, however, so il is said. con-
tinued to advance, gesticulating with
his right hand which he suddenly
dropped to his SHE, whereupon Way
mire drew his gun, 32 Colts auto
matte, AMI shot Mudd, the bullet en-
tering the head at n point just below
the nose and killing him instantly.
Mudd had a .32 Colts automatic in
his possession.--Challis Messenger.
The charge against Weymire was
dismissed after hearing before Pro-
bate Judge Job on SATURDAY, the
court being satisfied that the accused
acted in self-defcnse In the killing.

ore. The service is fully meeting with
expectations. 1t will become neces-
sary at an early day to provide n

Henry Ford's Relative in salmon.

The recent purchase or offer TO buy
from the federal government by Hen
~ Ford of Muscle Shoals industries,
where it was proposed TO develop
mammoth hydroelectric plant for the
production Of nitrate, has aroused
worldwide interest in the activities
of the famous manufacturer. At that
place the Tennessee river falls over a
rock Ledge for sixteen miles with tre-
mendous possibilities for transforma-
tion into power. When the war stop
ped the plans were abandoned. Ford
now proposed to fulfill the destiny of
the locality 70 make it a great manu-
featuring centre. There are three lit
tie cities there and the population
promises 10 double and treble in a
year or two, as soon as the magic
hand of the automobile king takes
hold. Not many Salmon people know
it but Henry Ford has a cousin here

who spends his summers out in the

WHEN THEIR BOAT
STRUCK BAD ROCK
GEORGE PREECE AND PARTY OF
TRAPPERS MEET WITH DISAS-
TER, WHEN NOAH SAVES DAY.

-Four men navigating the rapids OF
Salmon river below Pine creek were
placed in the direst peril by the
swamping of their boat. This was
the party in charge of George Preece.
The boat had passed these places in
the river without the least mishap
until finally the craft struck a sub
merged rock, passing we'll upon the
obstruction and then dipping as to
the nose and turning on edge. The
contents of the boat were either
thrown out or washed out in less time
than ii takes to tell. The men scram-
bled to the high side as they saw the
destruction of all their hopes for a
profitable trapping season come TO
naught. They were quick to realize
their own danger of going the same
way.
Besides Preece in the party were
Noah Butler, Charles Thomas and r..
D. Barnwell, all hailing from Melba,
Idaho. 1t was Noah, the namesake of
the historic voyager who navigated
the ark, who saved them ali. This
Noah struck out from his place on the
high side to swim ashore. He had
stripped himself to underclothes and
thrown his heavier apparel 60 safety
on the bank. Preece did likewise and
the two took tow line in their hands,
pulling the other two men after hem
as soon as they could reach she,e.
vi their equipment nothing could
be save1 except the bedding If preece
and Butler and one gun and the
traps. These were left ON rock for
somebody to find and make good use
of. All of more than $500 worth OF
provisions was lost. The men took
with them from the boat not a bite to
eal nor did they taste food for two
days and two nights afterward.
II was just before nightfall on the
9Th of December that the accident be-
fell them. In the clothing thrown
ashore were matches to start a badly
needed fire. The men spent the first
night piling on wood and alternately
freezing and thawing as they turned
around before the outdoor warmth,
meanwhile drying their clothes and
their bedding as best they could. The
second night found them more COM
fortably disposed though still out
doors. At the end of the second lays
Climb over cliffs and powders they
came upon trapper's cabin. Preece
knew the place. 1t was securely lock-
ed but the necessity that knows no
law forced entrance through the win
dow, to be rewarded with the discov-
cry of rice and flower in plenty to APP
pease knawing appetities.
The shipwrecked party had planned
TO camp for the winter at Big creek.
There was cabin affording shelter
up the river from the scene Of the
wreck and distant about an hours
walk, but it was determined TO 10 on
down in the hope of recovering ,ome
of the lost equipment on shore. Moth
ing, however, could be found except
one roll of bedding which was not
taken after being found.

But the prizes for corn were not the

FARMERS MUST NOT
ORGANIZE: HARDING
PRESIDENT TAKES HAND TO
HEAD OFF ANY RELIEF FOR
IILLERS OF SOIL.

Washington, Dec. Under the
personal direction of President Hard
ing, the "old guard in congress and
members of the cabinet have set out
TO smash the agricultural bloc.
AT recent conferences at the White
House, in which Senators Watson and
Curtis and Secretary of War Weeks
and other cabinet members took part.
r was agreed that Republican party
safety in the next congressional cam
paiign, and in the presidential CAM
paign of 1924 depends on whipping all
factions within the party into line un-
der the distinct party leadership.
Harding, in his message TO congress
yesterday, gave notice that the bloc
must go, and that Republicans must
obey their party leaders and accent
the legislative program their party
stood back of. Cabinet members will
follow up Harding's lead in speeches
IN various parts of the country. as
sailing the farm bloc directly. de-
nounce the legislation the bloc stands
for and telling the public that the
welfare of the country depends on the
abolition of all such special groups
IN congress. -

Armsteaa at 10:45 instead of a. m.
and thus be able to bring along pass
engers this way without compelling
them as at present to spend a night
at Armstead. Persons in the audi
ence with lively memories of unhappy
nights spent there said such a change
would be fine and dandy, with no pos
sible interest to suffer except the well
fare of large and influential colonies
of bedbugs. All other citizens, it was
thought, would rise up and call bless
ed the name of Bickler if he elimi-
mates future waits at Armstead.
it is recalled that the present rail
motor service has long been a dream
of Superintendent Bickler. Years ago
he began trying out a reconstructed
small automobile with fianges on its
wheels, but unfortunately such mo-
tors are not made for hill climbing as
the usual thing. 1t was not just what
he thought he ought to have. Then
one day one of the big chiefs of the
Northern Pacific came to look things
over on the G. and p. when Bickler
took him for a ride in his little fiiv-
Yer. 1t made a hit where Bickler
w NdilISu W ilidhe Il MT anu he secured
the promise from the big chief that
he would see what could be done. The
order for the present motor was the
result and Bickler was made as hap
py as the small boy with his first pair
of top boots. The motor promises to
pay for itself in added traffic us well
as in the savings in operating ex-
lenses. 1t generally carries capac-
ity loads of passengers whereas the
slow mixed train service derives lit
tie revenue from travellers who are
in a hurry. The motor car has con-
veniences foc the strap-hangar for all
the world like street car, so that in
stead of being limited to its seating
capacity of seventeen persons it may
carry at least twice that many if
most of them will only step lively up
front and hold on to the straps. One
morning this week there were actual
ly % persons to make the start in
the car from Salmon.
At the meeting Wednesday evening
it was unanimously voted to make no
kick against the change but rather TO
see and apply the good in it, as point
ed ont by Mr.. Bickler.

Hard Times In Southeast.

f4 In, all Eastern Idaho, according to
word brought to Salmon by JOS. +.
Robertson, there Is stagnation in ag-
riculture such as he didn't expect to
encounter in that rich locality. Mr..
Robertson had been at his old home
for six weeks looking after invest
ments there. The farmers were en-
able1 to pay only a fourth of what
was due him, for out of claims over
due amounting to $1,000 he could col
lect only $l,700, taking /. o. U's for
the balance. If the farmers of Lemhi
think with high taxes here they are
fallen on hard times their condition
is much better than some others, in
the opinion of Mr.. Robertson.

TRYING TOCUT DOWN
COUNTY EXPENSES

Numerously signed petitions are in
the hands of taxpayers and are to be
presented to the county commissioners
at their January meeting requesting
drastic cutting in county expenditures
with respect 20 official incidentals,
particularly salaries and automobile
hire.
The petitions recite the fact that
taxes have become exceedingly bur-
densome. While relief would not ap-
ply directly to the present levy future
taxes upon the resources of the pub
lie would be benefited by the cut de-
manded. Going into particulars the
petitioners ask for the abolition of
the Offices of county agent and coun-
ty nurse and claim that ''too much
money is being spent by deputy Of
fieials of the county and that in some
instances that salaries or wages of
needed county servants are too ,igh."
There are said TO be strong in
tiuences to be brought to- bear to save
and maintain the farm bureau organ
ization, perhaps without the services
of the farm agent, but to save the bu-
reau, as an institution designed for
and accomplishing great good for the
farmers. 1t is pointed out that in
many counties all over the land the
bureau Is being maintained without
the expense Of the employment of the
farm agent, whose place may be sup
piled by the university extension
workers at no considerable expense to
the county.
So too it is generally regarded as
false economy TO dispense with the
services of the county nurse who has
been ever diIigent and faithful in her
appointed work, particularly in look
ing after the health of public schools
throughout the county, incidentally
enforcing school attendance as ex-
ctficio probation officer without any
pay at all.
1t must be said that tie taxpayers
are driven to desperate means to ac-
complish the ligtening of their ever
increasing tax burdens. Half a dog
en- leading citizens who chip in large
ly to the tax gatherer every year
were punched together the other day
in Salmon 20 talk over ways and
means of relief, when it was seriously
suggested that they combine to pay
no taxes at all for a year, hoping in
that way to accomplish what mild
remonstrance has failed to accomp-
lish. "Starve 'em out" was the slo-
gan offered, having reference to the
hiring of too many deputies and al
lowing them to run up their expense
bills. At this point it was suggested
that the present increase is made up
entirely by the minor taxing bodies,
the city having increased its rate SO
per cent and the school so per cent
since last year. "Then save us from
extravaganza and waste in schools
and city" was the chorus of the by
ISLANDERS.
When told about the petitions for
doing away with the farm bureau and
the nurse one of the persons present
was quick to resent both propositions.
$50 they pass the buck to the farmers
and little children instead of making
the city and schools run within their
means AMI thus save taxes" was his
comment. The speaker went on to ex-
plain that the county nurse may be
objected to by the doctors but no
body else has any kick"
