the word. Elsewhere in this paper

Yes. Skinnay is going, and so are
about all of the busines men of the

fit of loyal boosting from the first

Mr.. Jess Whitaker at his home. One
thought of King Arthur's round table
when he saw the group seated around
the table, each with his own pocket
New Testament. Their pastor @. E.
Mason had been invited too and they
read and talked about the ninth
chapter of Matthew.
After reading they went to the
other room where John Morton, Jr.,
entertained them with his moving
picture machine. After showing all
the films he had, he next brought
forth a machine of his own invention
for throwing post cards on tn screen.
Most of the boys decided to make
similar machine for themselves. Mrs.
Whitaker and Mrs. Mason were ad-
mitted to this part of the program.
Mrs. Whitaker served sandwiches,
Christmas candle salad and maca-
rooms.
All had a good time.

600 FOLKS!
GHOSTS! GHOSTS!
Shade of Flaming Eye Said to Have
Been Seen by 0. S. L. Train
men at Cleft Tank

Did you ever hear of a red-headet
Indian? According to a story O.
pioneer days there was once one
roaming the plains of Gilmore Coun'
ty known to his tribe as Pia-seahost
or in English. Flaming-Eyes.
1t is aid that he was foully muir
dered years ago by white man.
Occasionally some one claims tc
have his ghost at or near Cleft.
From an o. S. L. telegraph opera
tor we learn that Flaming Eyes
ghost showed up there again last
week.
This time it had the crust to crawl
upon the water tank of an east-bound
locomotive which stopped to take
water and was met by the fireman
who had gone back to pull down the
spout of the big tank. But the weird
figure and peculiar eye of the "In-
dian ghost" was too much for the
fireman, who beat a hasty return to
the cab to enlist the services of the
engineer.
The accommodating "Ghost Of
Cleft" retired to comfortable seat
astride the tank spout while these
two trembling employees of the o. S..
L. took enough water to take them to
the next water tank, which they made
with the throttle wide open.
This is no common ghost story, but
absolute facts, as told by the two
teetotalers of Glenns Ferry. To doubt
their word is to arouse their anger,
and the operator says he would
rather meet the ghost than to do
that.

LITTLE ONES
DEATH SHOCKS
Genevieve Hamilton Passes Away Af-
ter Hard Fight to Save Life
Funeral Wednesday

Mountain Home residents general
ly were profoundly moved Monday
evening when 1t was learned that lit
tie Genevieye Louise Hamilton, the
sweet little daughter of DR.. and Mrs.
o. P. Hamilton, had succumbed to
pneumonia.
Her death came after one of the
hardest fights to save life ever
waged. The father did everything
which his skill could devise, and had
the consultation of the best ply
sicians in Idaho, but all to no avail.
Genevieve had been i'll for about
three weeks when she was taken
away.
She was born Nov. IL, 1919, and
her death occurred on Jan. IA, 1924,
she therefore being A years, months
and 2 days of age.
The funeral services were held at
the McBratney & Zacher funeral
parlors at IL o'clock on Wednesday,
and the remains were conveyed to
Boise in the afternoon, where they
were viewed by many at the Nc
Bratney funeral parlors before be-
ing taken TO Elks' Rest, Morris Hill
cemetery, for interment.
DR.. and Mrs Hamilton surely have
the earnest sympathy of the entire
community in their loss. May the
Supreme Ruler of the Universe heal
their wounds, and give them the as
surance that there is no death"
