that Elijah told3 Ahab As the Lord God

then gave him the truth right from the

where the cause Of the whole thing WAS
and who were to be blamed for the
drought. The moment Elijah was given
the chance to destroy Baal, and his
priests and Worshippers. and God was
honoured in Israel, he prayed that rain
would come and it did.
This is just one instance but it will
prove that God has much 10 10 with the

are just the same as they were in The

The body of William J. David
son of LaRue was found hanging
from the rafters of his barn about
five-thirty Friday afternoon, the
discovery being made by his wife
when she went to the barn to do

able to struggle against them.
He had gone to the barn Garner

lieving that he was asleep in the
hay NOW, did not disturb him but
went about doing the evening
chores. When she went into the
barn to milk the COWS, she found
her husbands lifeless body hang
ing from the rafters. He had
looped the hay rope about his
neck and jumped from the hay
NOW into the driveway below.
District Attorney H. J. Bohn de-
cided that no inquest was neces-

finds grave OF
noted Chief
Explorer Directed To
Resting Place o +
Nam-puh by Carved
Arrows

An Indian grave, believed to hold
the remains of Chief Nam-puh, the
Piute leader after whom the city OF
Nampa< Idaho, was named, has been
found by r. w. Limbert, whose ex-
plorations in the country now
known as Craters of the Moon ma
tional monument contributed great
ly to national recognition of that
territory.
While hunting in the desert close
to the Nevada line recently, Linn
bert found a fat rock upon which
there was carved an arrow. Fol
lowing the general direction OF the
arrow he found other rocks with
similar carvings. The end of the
line of arrow rocks was a huge
mound of stones with fiat one
resting horizontally on top.
The fiat rock was engraved crude
ly with the figure Of an Indian
with abnormally large feet ami
hands; around the figure was a cir
Gle. the death sign of the Piutes.
The dead chief is reputed to have
had enormously large feet and
hands and it is a tradition that one
of his feet was six inches wide and
eighteen inches long. The az
tempt of the carver to show the
large hands and feet leads Limbert
to believe that it is the grave OF
Chief Nam-Duh.
