EDITORIAL
This seems to be a rather stu-
dious week as there is little ex-
citement or little subject matter to
write on. Everyone seems to be
interested mostly in making pass-
ing grades and watching the bas-
ketball scores.
Our basketball team is trying
to gain honor for B. H. S. in the
county tournament. We're all try-
ing to pass and the faculty is try-
ing to keep us busy, so for one
long week everyone seems to be in
accord.
Come to see the few games we
have left to play. Support your
school athletics and the team will
bring you glory. What we make
makes B. H. S.

“Well, Parmer got about half a
mile from the house, when Doty’s
horse came running in, with the
harness cut off him. 1 knew some-
thing serious had happened. Just
about that time Alf Reeves, who
still lives at Hext, rode up. I got
him to stay with the women folks
and I pulled out to see what had
happened to him. Sure enough. ,
not very far from the house, on
Bear Creek, 1 came upon Parmer—
lying under the wagon, dead. |
His hat was under his head, and j
his boots were under his feet. All
other clothes and articles usually |
found on a man’s person, were,
gone. I was raised among the In-,
dians, and learned many of their |
tricks. They won’t wear a hat or

“Parmer was killed on what is
known now as Bear Creek, and the
spot was about half a mile above
where Roy Simpson’s house now
stands. The man was about 50
years old. No one knew who he
was or where he came from. None j
of his relatives attended the fun-
