MISSING--Bambie and Feline, pet twin deer adopted by Jerry Jones family near Bancroft, have disappeared. Family fears poachers may have shot them. Adopted Twin Deer Disappear From Bancroft Farm Home By Frances C. Yost here have gone into mourning with the members cf the Jerry Jones family. With the hunting season at a close in these parts it is believed that the twin pet deer of the Jones children have been shot and carried away for winter meat -by some hunter.

A year ago last June, while Farmer Jerry Jones.was walking over a field on his ranch ten miles north of Chesterfield, he came upon two little twin deer. They evidently had been hidden by the mother, who for some unknown reason of the wilds, was neVer able to come hack to suckle her little ones. JERRY TOOK the half-starved twins home and the Jones family fed them fresh warm cows' milk with bottles. Miraculously the land care netted results, for both deer They were -unanimously christened Bambie and Feline by the four Jones children. Soon they were frolicking about in the Jones' allowing the children to pet and romp with them.

When the dinner bell was rung, both Bambie and Feline came to the kitchen door arid sucked the life-giving fluid from the baby bottles. Then, when the harvesting and fall plowing was finished, the Joneses moved to their winter a smaller farm one-half mile south of. Bancroft. Bambie and Feline were placed in the back of the truck and taken to their warm winter home, and allowed the freedom of the smaller farm. ONE WARM sunny day, the twins frolicked into the city limits of Bancroft.

Marshall Harrison Cro- weJI blinked his eyes at city ordi- na'nce restrictions while, children the gentle visitors In thp village. Dads snd mothers hurried lo the drug store to purchase films for the family kodak. Both Bambie and Feline posed many times with various children's arms about them. With the coming of deer season of '49' the twins were locked, much against Bambie's in the Jones barn and fed bailed hay. Again they enjoyed the freedom of Ihe farm when danger of gun fire was over.

WHEN SPRING came Bambie and Feline moved with the Jones to their large ranch north of Chesterfield. For a number of days they frolitied together over hill and dale, then one day Bambie joined some of his wild cousins in the hills. Frequently he could be Been in the distant fields urging his sister to follow the call of the wind, but Feline never left the ranch, except for a stroll in the daylight. She liked to trip lightly down the vegetable rows, here sr.d there, but never spoiling the foilage. When nine year old Carolyn, or six "year, old Clair Jones was bent over weeding the garden, Feline would nuzzle her'nose in under their arms for a bit of petting.

Her favorite food was the blossoms of the sweetpeas that grew over the fence. Again she was delicate and minced here and there, never uprooting or. spoiling the vines. AFTER BAMBIE took to the wilds, Feline perhaps for companionship, became even more friendly with humanity. It was nothing for her to walk up to a strange car and look the occupants in eyes tenderly and let them smooth her soft tan coat of fun With the coming of deer season this year, the Jones hoped that Bambie would come home for shel- poured out of every house to pet ter, but he never did.

As ear after READY FOR USE--Hearing completion is this new gallon city water reservoir, which is expected to go into operation within a week. The structure, which cost $17,000, will provide cleaner water and higher pressure in the city's homes. Grace Will Begin New Reservoir Use GRACE--Installation of a roof on the new concrete reservoir recently completed at Grace was finished Monday and the new water repository will be in use in about a week. This was announced Tuesday by City Water John Van Vlcet. The new $17,000 structure replaces an old reservoir, part 2 which caved into a lava crack earlier this summer, pressure.

Van Vlcet said the new reservoir will provide the city's water users with more sanitary water than the nlrl open one did and at the same time will provide better care of hunters left the hills with their the Joneses felt that Bambie had met his fate. They were thankful that Feline at least, was safely locked up in the barn. Feline was a dainty little eater. Gary Jones, 15, opened a fresh bale of hay for her to on while she was a prisoner in the barn during hunting season. She daintily ate the tender leaves, of the hay, leaving only the stocks.

Each evening Gary would fork up the left over hay and feed it to the cows, and give Feline a new portion of baled hay with tender leaves. At the close the doer season, half of the hale of hay. was still intact. SEVERAL DAYS after the hunting season was closed in these parts, Gary turned Feline out to have the run of the ranch again. Then one Sunday there was a firing in the mountains and poaching hunters were seen leaving.

Sam Reed, of Bancroft, who was share cropping on farm north of Chesterfield, came -across four legs of a deer. When he showed them to Jones, Jerry felt certain that they were those of Feline, and foul play had been committed. The Jones family, though heartsick, are not bitter. They could never have feasted on the flesh of their pets, themselves. Yet they feel that a hunter who would kill a wild thing who walked up to him in the friendly fashion which Feline had for everyone isn't a fair sportsman.

Then too, out of season shooting is a misdemeanor in the eyes of the law. Rockland to Finish Gym Ahead of Time The Journal's Idaho News Service ROCKLAND The new gymnasium here will be completed ahead of schedule. That is the word received from Superintendent T. H. Bell.
