Hunting For
Lost Friend,
Finds Skull
One of Two Poison Hunters
Becomes Lost in Wolf
Creek District.
WAS OUT "a HOURS
BEFORE BEING FOUND

Searching through the woods for
a lost companion who had been miss
ing about "a hours and finding the
skull Of . white man was an incident
that befell George Harrel of Poison
while hunting in the Wolf creek dis
trict last week.
Harrel and q companion, DR.. ]. d.
Foley of Poison, were hunting deer
near the mouth Of Wolf creek when
DR.. Foley, while hunting alone, be-
came confused and lost his way. This
was on. November 5. The doctor re-
NAMED out all that night without
food or fire, having had no matches
on his person. Deputy Game Warden
Darlington had been with the two
men the day previously and had in
sisted that DR.. Foley take his
maekinaw coat and use kt Had it not
been for this the doctot would have
Jared much worse dying his nights
vigil in the cold timber. As it was,
Harrel and Darlington found Foley
the next day not great distance
from camp, apparently none the worse
for his experience.
The skull was found about half
way up mountain on the divide be-
tween the West Fisher and Loon
lake. The entire upper part of it was
intact, only the lower jaw being miss
ing. 1t was partly covered with moss
which would indicate it had laid out
for some time. No other parts Of a
human skeleton could be found any
mhora in fha uicinffu
The skull was brought to town and
turned over to County Attorney Her.
bert. AS far as is now known there is
no record of anyone having been lost
in that section for many years past.
The skull was evidently that of a
white man.

Cu1prits Kill Two
Elk on Wolf Greek

Deputy Game Warden G. F. Colds
by of Poison motored into Libby
Tuesday with two fine elk heads
which he had taken from carcasses of
two bull elk that had been killed in
the Wolf creek district by some un-
known hunter. The heads were fine
specimens and were auctioned here,
being bid in by a Mr.. Buchanan of
Seattle, who is in this district gather
ing supply of Christmas trees. One
head brought ST, the other one Sc.
According to Goldsby the two elk
were shot near the Wolf creek road
on the old railroad grade and their
bodies left by the cukprit or culprits
who had thus violated the law as
well as all the instincts of a true
sportsman. One carcass was brought
down by guide employed at the
Martin dude ranch and the other was
in the possession Of Jack Mecham of
Kalispell when Goldsby apprehended
it. Neither of these men are involved
in the killing, however, it is said. The
teeth had been taken from one of the
elk and it had been skinned out and
dressed.
Goldsby said the animals had beer
shot by someone standing not more
than so feet from them, according
to indications, SO there was no chance
for the slayer killing them by mis-
take. Goldsby stated he expected to
make some arrests in connection with
the killing within few days.

Object to Provisions
OF Senate Measure

The board Of county commissioners
and the board of directors of the
Libby Commercial club last week
adopted resolutions protesting against
the adoption of certain amendments
as introduced in the United States
senate whereby the K expenditure Of
federal aid money on forest highways
would be prohibited except on such
highways as are on the seven per
cent system. The bill concerned pro-
vides for funds to be expended in CO.
operation with state highway COM
missions and the bureau Of public
roads, in construction of highways
and other work on public lands and
reservations but excludes highways in
forest reserves.
Inasmuch as there is a large mile
age of forest highways in Lincoln
county, such legislation would be most
unwise for this section. The same
condition prevails in many places
throughout the West and it is under
stood there is strong opposition to
the above Objectionable provision of

 Assuming that it is the wish of the common council to hear facts hearing upon the possibility of pro- ceeding with such a station this year. without awaiting new budget or appropriation. we have gone into the question of a deferred payment plan which will require no payment out of this years taxation.
