CiAbU Anxiety Felt by Rela
tives, Finally Relieved,
- ... .
After days of anxiety on the part
of their relatives and friends, Henry
Parsons, Cap Tuttle and Hugo Khng-
naminer, iucui icsuieuia,
local residents, returned
home Tuesday evening after an ab
sence of 14 days spent in search of
lost horses on tjhe Minam range, says
the Elgin Recorder.
The trio started for the, range af
ter Christmas, expecting to be gone
not more than a week in search of
five head of horses which were not
located during previous roundups. The
week passed, during which time it was
continually snowing, and with each
(succeeding day of absence anxiety as
to their probable safety increased.
Sunday and Monday of this week
came nnd no word came from them
with the result that Monday several
other stockmen organized a party and
set out to locate them. At that time
the trio was riding the range on the
lower Minam and started for homo
Tuesday morning, coming by way of
Bunch Grass trail, while the search-
in( party went by way of Chalk Lick
trail, missing them. Members of tho
searching pnrtv soon ascertained the
facts nnd immediately returned home.
Hugo Klinghammer, who was one
of the three young men for whose
safety fear was entertained, ex
plained their unexpected absence by

folks were in the least ularmed. They
failed to locate a single horse of the
five for which they were riding and
express the opinion that they are
snow bound in some inaccessible
place. They rode to a point on the
lower range where two head had been
left a couple of weeks before, and
found one of them dead and half de
voured by coyotes. The location of
the carcas was such that the animal
is thought to have slide down the
mountain-side, resulting in its death.
The dead horse belonged to Luther
Hindman. ,
Of the missing horses Klingham-

on the Minam than any have ever seen
I in previous years.
! Whila riHinn at n noint cIosa to the
location of where Klinghammer and
others captured two cub bear a few
years ago, they discovered the den of
a female1 bear. They aroused the
sleeping bruin and as she poked her
head outside the den Klinghammer
shot her in the head. ' Apparently the
, bullet ranged downward and failed to
take effect. The animal backed into
the den and refused to come out. By
tantalizing and tormenting her for
several minutes they again compelled
her to show up' at the entrance and
thfe second shot resulted fatally. They
pulled the dead animal outside the
deb' and removed the hide which
Klinghammer says is the best fur he,
ever saw. The bear was killed in
Identically the same location where
the two cubs were captured and she
Is 'thought to have been the mother
of them. Her den was located under
a monster fir tree on a steep hill side.

February 19, 1913.
With Madero out of the way, Huer
ta, by reason of his allierrce with Fe
lix Diaz, was the strongest man in the
capital. He seized the reins of power
that had been forced from Madero's
hands and proclaimed himself pro
visional president of Mexico. He im
mediately hpgan to rule with a rod of
iron.
Soon after Huerta seized the pres
idency, the world was horrified to
learn that President Madero and Vice
President Suarez had been as
sassinated as they were being taken
from the president's palace to a
prison. Huerta ordered an investiga
tion and he always insisted that he
was in no way responsible for the
killings. He insisted that the two
men hud been shot when their adher
ents attempted to rescue them.
About this time Gustavus Madero,
brother of Francisco, who had been
thrown into prison by Huerta, waa
