Murphy, who -claims rights through marriage to a mem- ber of the Auk Bay Indian tribe. and his children by that marriage, Miles Murphy, Edward Murphy Elsie Murphy Jones and Mabel Murphy Nelson. Murphys Build House It is alleged that the Murphy family, on, or about, June 29, last, took possession of a portion of the f initiated today camp grounds and began construc- | tien of a building thereon without | consent of the Government which had sometime theretofore set aside the entire tract of 76'% acres of Jand as a public camp ground. Other defendants in the action are: Harry and Ann Winard, John Doe Kazoon, Mrs. John Doe Ka-| zoon, Jack Harris, Mrs. Jack Har- ris, Auk Bay Jim, Jimmy Hanson | and Mrs. Jimmy Hanson, Charles Garside, Mrs. Charles Garside, Mrs. son and Mrs. James Watson, Al- bert Martin and Mrs. Albert Mar- tin, John Doe Miller and Mrs. John Doe Miller, Billy Martin and Mrs. | Billy Martin and Pete Smith.

Flood estate. Judge Buck said Constance May Gavin failed to prove she was the illegitimate daughter of the Bon- anza King, She claimed $2,000,000 as her i share. One woman juror said she would refuse to “sign such a libel.” Spectators hissed and applauded and shouts of “This is Justice; This is America!” arose. The Judge ordered the court room cleared. Mrs. Flood and other defend- ants remained in the chambers safe from the threatening crowd. Mrs. Gavin claimed her mother was Mrs. Eudora Firde Willette, daughter of an actress in San Francisco bonanza days. [Flood made his fortune on the Comstock lode in Nevada. - e IDAHO GRID TEAM DEMANDS QUARTERBACKS IN QUANTITY MOSCOW Idaho, candidates for quarterback will be available at Idaho at the start of the football campaign. Coach Leo Calland’s system calls for quar- terbacks in plenty. Calland demands a versatile quarter, one who can Kkick, pass and run. An Idaho quarter car- ries the ball just about four times as much as the average quamr which requires manpower. Three of the six are veterans in the position, newcomers.
