H. Shawhan's pear orchard last Sunday morning. Charles B. Jackson, a sheep herder, was passing the orchard enroute to his homestead over near Caldwell and stopped at the orchard to pick some fruit. He became thirsty, and seeing a jug near by began to drink supposing it to be water. The jug contained fluid for spraying trees, made out of one pound of arsenic and for pounds of soda to the gallon, and was left in the orchard by mistake. After drinking this poison Jackson could only get to the road, where he was found about 7 p.m. by William Davis, who helped to take him to a house near by, when a doctor was called, but all to no avail. The deceased could give little information of himself or of his friends, as he was too far gone. He let them know that he had a mother in Kansas. The only paper found upon his person was a receiver's receipt given at Boise for a homestead entry.
