The explosion of the tank Of a
carbide lighting plant caused the
death Of Arthur j. Elfsten at his
ranch on the RimrOck Sunday night
about $50. When the light fiickered
in the house he went to the tank
about 200 feet away aud lifted the
lid to investigate. The explosion
occurred just as bis wife went TO the
door to call him back. The upper
part of bis body was badly shaft cred,
and his clothing was practically
burned off His wife, rushing TO his
aid, suffered burns 10 her efforts to
drag his body away from the sank.
Elfsten was 81 years of age and had
been employed for five years as a
mechanic In Occur d'AleDe garage.
Carl Johnson, who worked with
Mr.. Elfsten on the ranch, had helped
him to fill the carbide tank and when
the lights were turned on just before
Johnson drove away Ia his car he bad
told him they would burn better as
soon as the pipes became completely
filled with gas. However, it appears
that Mr. Elfsten was impatient and
went TO Investigate.

DECISION IS UPHELD
Mere Auto Owners Cannot Vote
On Beads.

Boise, Idaho The supreme
court OF Idaho, in . decisiop May
ao. sustains Judge Dana E. Brinck
of the Ada county district court in
his ruling that an owner Of an
automobile is not taxpayer With
in the meaning OF the law govern
ing bond elections. The decisieD
comes as the result Of an appeal q
the suit brought by Sanford z.
Hartman against election judGes
Of Boise to compel the board -
enroll him as voter in the coming
bond election. The suit was
brought as test to determine tic
status Of an owner Of an automo-
bile as taxpayer, which would
entitle him to vote in municipal
bond elections.
The supreme courts decision
touches exclusively upon the point
at law, and in substance says that
resident of a municipality who
owns an automobile and pays =
license fee upon it, but who owns
90 other taxable property 10 the
municipality, is not entitled to vote
at municipal bond election.
Under the ruling OF the lower
court the suit. will now be dis
missed.

SAWMILLS BURNED
'One Few Miles West; Others at
Newman and Liberty.

P. F. Rogers sawmill on DIR. F.
Wenz's place few miles west Of
Rathdrum was destroyed by FIRE
about 4:2o O'Clock Wednesday
afternoon shortly after the crew
had quit work for the day. The
cause is unknown. The watchman
who remained after the others had
gone to town said he saw no sign
of FIRE until looking around from a
distance of about so feet he dis
covered the mill in flames. Help
was called from town by telephone
but the FIRE was quickly beyond
control.
The mill was built in the fall OF
1921. 1t had a capacity of about
40, 900 feet per day and employed
eight or ten men. 1t is understood
the seasons cut was to have been
completed soon. Mr.. Rogers had
planned to move the mill TO anoth-
er locality.
A small amount of lumber near
the mill was also burned. The lum-
Der Had been hauled away almost
as fast as it was cut. About 1885,
ooe feet of logs remained and it IS
said these would have kept the
mill running another week.

What Proof Marks on
Old Firearms Mean

Those unfamiliar with ancient fire
arms are frequently puzzled by ind
ing certain characters or letters, or
both, stamped on and into the barrel
of gun or pistol. In their ignorance
they take them to be the initials or
mark Of the maker, and from these
seek to gain light as to his name.
1t is true that Spanish and German
arms usually have. instead Of the
makers name, a seal, frequently OF
gold, depicting characters-animals
and letters-from which, II possessed
OF q list Of such seals, one might de-
terInIne the manufacture Of the wea-
pom, and hence its approximate date.
English and French gunmakers, how
ever, II marking the arm at all, did
so by placing their name and that OF
their town on the lock-plate or barrel.
or on both.
The marks known as proof marks
were stamped on. usually by a govern
ment official, after he had tried out
and "proven" the arm to be all right.
Al rule the method Of proving was
to load the piece with several times
its normal amount Of power and shot,
and then discharge the same. II 1t sur
vived the test 1t was considered
"proven" satisfactorily. Thus. as dif'
ferent marks were not adopted until
certain date. we may ordinarily be
assured that an arm bearing them was
not manufactured before that date
