Idaho Residents Should Be Able to Stop Stores Closing in the Gem State

According to employees, there was no notice, as they showed up to find out they were out of a job.

The massacre lasted for days as members of the party were hunted down, killed, and mutilated.
I heard several today from members of my listening audience. One from a writer who explained it involved the family of former Governor John Evans, in Malad. The house was empty, and the writer says the Governor’s brother, Don, Had sought the writer’s help in moving furniture. They heard several doors slam in an empty house with many locked doors. A presence then dashed by the two men, and they found an open family album on a table. Don Evans believed it was the ghost of a deceased younger brother.
