BOISE, Idaho, MarcTi 31. Three per
sons plunged 210 feet to their death
over the Shoshone Falls of Snake river
last night, t They were Miss Marie
Willis, Sajnuel t Graham and a man
whose jiame is unknown. Miss Willis
sometimes ran the ferry boat at this
point. ; Last night Miss Willis took the
boat across in response to a call. On
the return sie found the guide rope not
working properly and put back Gra
ham and the other man, seeing from
the opposite side that there was trou
ble, took I he Hotel skiff and erossed to
the ferryboat. They took Miss Willis
off and started back to the south bank.
As the boat neared the shore it filled
and went down, all three being lost.
There is no trace of the bodies. They
were doubtless swept ever fbe falls.
