THE MARKET AT A GLANCE

Apple surges on iPhone sales NEW YORK (AP) — Investors didn’t react much to a strong hiring survey or the Federal Reserve’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged Wednesday, and U.S. stock indexes finished pretty much where they started. Apple soared after it said iPhone sales improved in its latest quarter. Stocks jumped in morning trading after payroll provider ADP said hiring by private employers grew stronger in January. Bond prices climbed. But the market’s gains thinned, partly because investors sold shares of companies that pay big dividends as bond yields rose. Stocks briefly turned higher after the Fed’s announcement, but that also faded. The only constant was the big gain for Apple, which pushed technology companies higher. The Federal Reserve left its key interest rate unchanged, just as investors expected. The central bank noted that the job market is getting stronger and inflation is gradually rising, but said it wants more time to monitor the economy. That’s what investors expected. Kate Warne, an investment strategist for Edward Jones, noted that the central bank just increased rates in December and the Trump administration’s spending and fiscal plans still haven’t been spelled out.

Ketchum man wins $200,000, 2nd big lottery win in 9 months TIMES-NEWS

KETCHUM — A regular lottery player from Ketchum collected his second top-prize win in the past nine months when he won $200,000 playing Merry Millions scratch tickets. Last April, he won $56,177 playing Idaho Jackpot. On Tuesday morning, Patrick Cox stopped at the Albertsons in Hailey and purchased a few Merry Millions tickets, an Idaho Lottery release said. After playing them for a few Patrick Cox minutes, he realized he was holding the game’s final top Cox quickly postponed the day and drove three his business meetings for hours to the lottery offices prize of $200,000.

in Boise to collect his winnings. “Playing the lottery is my form of entertainment,” Cox said in the release. “You just have to believe that you’re going to win.” “I know the odds on the games, I see who has won recently on the website; you just have to be smart about the game you’re playing and believe you can win,” Cox said. Before returning to Ketchum for work, Cox said he would “bless a lot of people with this win.” The holiday-themed game Merry Millions has ended.

WEATHER

Special weather-related holidays O ver the next four days we will get two weather related holidays in the United States. The first one is Feb. 2 — Groundhog Day. The other is Feb. 5, National Weather Person’s Day. I love this stretch BRIAN NEUDORFF because my profession gets to be in the spotlight even if one day is focused more on a ground rodent trying to predict the weather. Groundhog Day grew

out of what had essentially been a German superstition. German settlers brought with them the idea that if a hibernating animal casts a shadow Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday of Candlemas — winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow is seen, legend says spring will come early. After the winter we’ve seen here in southern Idaho, most of you are hoping the groundhog doesn’t see his shadow. As for National Weather Person’s Day on Feb. 5, it is a day to recognize not only the people who work

in the field of meteorology, weather and broadcast meteorologist but also those who observe the weather like volunteer storm spotters and National Weather Service weather observers. The reason it is on Feb. 5 is that is the birthday of John Jeffries, one of the first weather observers who took daily measurements starting in 1774. He was born on Feb. 5 , 1744. I will enjoy these days by watching Bill Murray’s Groundhog Day on Thursday and then hopefully having a nice treat on Sunday to celebrate Na-

tional Weather Person’s Day. If you know someone who loves weather and or works in the weather business let them know how much you appreciate what they do on Sunday. I know I appreciate my colleagues at KMVT Jordan Dressman and Cristle Jose as well as the fine men and woman at the National Weather Service offices in Boise and Pocatello. A big thank you for all they do. Brian Neudorff is the chief meteorologist for KMVT-TV and KSVT, FOX 14. Email him at bneudorff@kmvt.com or call 208-933-2847

HIDDEN HISTORY

The wild hairy man from Birch Creek

anada has its Sasquatch. The Pacific Northwest has its Bigfoot. And Oakley has its Wild Hairy Man of Birch Creek. “Even those who don’t believe in him are still afraid of him — at least MYCHEL MATTHEWS at night,” wrote The Oakley Herald editor Charlie Brown in July 1932. One man was riding alone in Birch Creek Canyon south of town when he spotted the legendary figure. The rider later described the hairy man as “a gorilla-like creature, unclothed, (and) hairy.” Others who reported seeing the hairy man described him similarly. Explanations around town were plentiful. Perhaps the hairy man was an escaped lunatic. Or perhaps he was a hermit who had lived in a cave so long he had lost the ability to speak. Brown had great fun in speculating about the hairy man in the Herald. “Is he a moonshiner trying to frighten inquisitive prowlers from his

While his articles about the hairy man had a tongue-in-cheek character, Brown became indignant when the First Segregation News of Hazelton suggested the tales were “fish stories,” Hale said. Brown invited the Hazelton editor to Oakley to meet the hairy man, but it isn’t known whether he accepted. Sightings of the Wild Hairy Man of Birch Creek

continued until after the Herald was discontinued. Mychel Matthews reports on rural issues and agriculture for the Times-News.

Burned Rupert body identified as suspect LAURIE WELCH

lwelch@magicvalley.com

RUPERT — The M i n i d o ka County Coroner has identified the remains of a body found in a Rupert Mounce house fire as the owner of the home,

Dale Mounce, 46. The Rupert Police Department ruled the manner of death a suicide. Minidoka County Coroner Lucky Bourn said in a press release that identification was made from dental records that were supplied by the family to the coroner’s office. Bourn said following an autopsy the cause of death was concluded to be ther-

mal injuries due to the fire. The body was found Jan. 25 in the burned rubble at 314 First St. According to a press release issued by the Rupert Police Department, police had received information that Mounce was preparing for a confrontation with police prior to the fire. Officers had not made contact with Mounce when the incident occurred, the

release said. Last week, McEwen said that police officers and firefighters were at the home when the fire started. Rupert Police Chief James Wardle was speaking with a female in front of the home when it caught fire, the release said. The female had come from American Falls to talk with Mounce about not showing up for court.

Stocks slip as investors seek safety

Better finish than how we started

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks dipped Wednesday as investors worried about weak retail sales and oil prices sank. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the third time in six months. The Commerce Department said retail spending decreased in May, which surprised experts. Investors reacted by buying traditionally safe assets like government bonds and high-dividend companies while selling stocks from other industries that depend more on economic growth. Bond yields hit their lowest level of 2017. Oil prices also hit an annual low after the government’s weekly report on oil stockpiles. In the last few weeks Wall Street has been disappointed by several economic reports. That did not appear to change the Fed’s thinking even though higher interest rates tend to slow down economic growth. For years investors have been hoping growth will hit a faster pace. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index slid 2.43 points, or 0.1 percent, to 2,437.92. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 46.09 points, or 0.2 percent, to a record 21,374.56.

Twin Falls doctor shot by Mexican sniper

as a Twin Falls doctor shot at the border during the Mexican Revolution because he was mistaken for a national military hero? Dr. H.W. Wilson, captain of the medical corps of the Second Idaho regiment MYCHEL MATTHEWS stationed at Nogales, Ariz., was the first American military officer shot from across a U.S. border. Wilson was shot in the left thigh while boarding a train back to Idaho. The Twin Falls News reported in its Oct. 5, 1916, edition that the shooter thought he was aiming at Maj. Gen. Frederick Funston, who commanded troops at the Mexican border during the revolution. Wilson was in uniform

Times, eyewitnesses saw the shooter take deliberate aim at Wilson. He then handed his rifle to a Mexican customs agent and ran off into the crowd. Members of the medical corps gave Wilson first aid, then took him to the regiment hospital. Wilson returned to Twin Falls several weeks later, not able to put weight on the leg. Wilson was said to be a PUBLIC DOMAIN dead ringer for Funston, who was in command Dr. H.W. Wilson, captain of of the Presidio in San the medical corps of the Francisco when the great Second Idaho regiment earthquake of 1906 nearly stationed at Nogales, destroyed the city.

The boots “looked conspicuous and I felt conspicuous in them, so I think that the Mexican saw me and the thought flashed into his mind that there was some high officer and he would shoot him, so he fired.

ob Akers of Idaho Falls forwarded a copy of an old letter to the TimesNews Wednesday. Written by a member of the Women of the Ku Klux Klan, the 1924 letter asked a Mrs. Roberts of American MYCHEL Falls to join MATTHEWS their ranks by appealing to her sense of patriotism. Akers, a Vietnam War veteran, said the letter belonged to his mother, a friend of Mrs. Roberts’ daughter. “When Mrs. Roberts passed, Ruth found her mother’s diary and offered it to my mother to read and said that she could dispose of it when she was done,” he said. “My mother said this letter rested between pages in that diary journal, with no other mention in that journal (of) the KKK.” The WKKK rode several waves into modern times, the first in the 1860s. In the 1920s, a second wave brought more than a half-million women into its ranks.

NEW YORK (AP) — Rising bond yields and a string of weak company reports and forecasts pushed stocks lower Wednesday as major indexes retreated from their recent record highs. Industrial and technology companies and banks fared the worst. Companies including telecom giant AT&T, aerospace company Boeing, chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices and credit card issuer Discover Financial Services all gave shaky results, disappointing forecasts, or both. That sent stocks downward, and in early afternoon trading the Dow Jones industrial average fell as much as 190 points, after setting a record the day before. Stocks recovered some of their losses in afternoon trading, but all 11 industry sectors in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index finished the day lower. Bond yields jumped to seven-month highs after a report from the Commerce Department showed orders for long-lasting manufactured goods and business investment grew in September. That’s good news for the economy, but it actually hurt stocks Wednesday, said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Equity Research, because it might lead to greater inflation.

Burley student hosts domestic violence event LAURIE WELCH

lwelch@magicvalley.com

BURLEY — A Burley High School senior is hosting a domestic violence awareness presentation Friday as part of his senior project. Cameron Prewitt, 17, will host the free event from 5 to 7 p.m. at the King Fine Art Center. The panel will include a victim advocate, prosecuting and defense attorneys, magistrate judge, probation officers, a domestic violence survivor, offenders, victim-witness coordinator, police officer and a children’s advocate. “They will all present their side of what happens in domestic violence,” Pre-

witt said. After the panel there will be a question and answer session. “It can happen in any relationship,” he said. Prewitt wanted to hold an assembly at the high school, but school administration decided it was not an appropriate topic for students without their parents present and that it would be a better option to address the topic at the community level, said Kristy Rasmusson, domestic violence coordinator for the Fifth Judicial District. Prewitt said high school students need information on domestic violence. “Personally, I think it’s

worthwhile to youth,” he said. Domestic violence information is presented to students at Cassia High School but not at BHS, he said. Prewitt became interested in the topic because his mother, Amber Prewitt, heads adult misdemeanor probation in Mini-Cassia and teaches classes on domestic violence. He has been attending her classes, going to domestic violence court hearings and speaking with officials to learn more about the topic. Many of the skills he’s learned at the classes apply to other life situations, not just relationships, he said. “It’s opened my eyes.”
