BOLD
sheriff Glasc0ek and Marshal Coon
Prompt, as Usual.

the residence of John Runkel, propri-
OF the meat market, who lives in
Mexico, next door to the Cath
Ole Church, was entered by bold,
bad burglars who wanted to lay in
their winter clothes. MI. Runkel
was at his place of business, and
Mrs. r. was down town on business.
Young Garrett, who drives the deliv-
cry wagon for Eugene Tomlinson &
20. grocery store, saw three men
i'll and about the house when he was
delivering goods in that part of the
city. He Immediately drove down
town and gave the alarm. Marshal
Coons promptly went over in that
part of town and arrested one of them.
1t appears, that by this time they had
tried on their clothes, gotten fits and
skipped out. The marshal could find
but one, whom he brought in. Sheriff
Glascock by this time was on the
trail Of the other two. 1t seems that
they had wound In and out among the
gardens and houses of South Mexico,
hoping to throw anyone off their track.
AT last the sheriff got wind of them,
and the way "Hatch' tore up the
sidewalk was enough to make a pro-
fessional pedestrian nervous. He
had no more than gotten a good start
when he stepped On a broken plank
in the sidewalk, which turned in such
a way as to NEST severely sprain his
ankle, if not to fracture the bone.
The thieves we're running towards the
wooden mill, making towards tall
timber, hunting cover to put On
Runkel's clothes. "Hatch'' sum-
moned a passing farm wagon, and
told the owner to drive him up by the
depot. When he got to the depot,
he could see his men just climbing
down the railroad track. In front of
George Morris Hatch" in spite of
his lame leg, jumped out OF the
wagon and made for his men. He
told them to halt, bnt they did not
do it. He did not have his pistol,
and had to resort TO what he
could find within his reach. He
threw a stone at one, which hit him
in the shoulder, bringing him to a
halt. He told the .other he would
blow his brains out if he didn't stop,
and thinking that ''Hatch" had a
pistol, he come to time. They felt
very tame when they found that an
unarmed man-lame at that-had ar
rested them both. They are a hard
looking ''set of threes,' and will,
without doubt, go to the penitentiary
for five years, if not longer. They
gave their names rs James Williams,
Patsy Devaney and VIM. Emmerson.
The clothing vas all secured, each
man having a bundle. Sheriff Glas'
cock never goes after a mar that he
does not bring him. The law-brsakers
would as soon have grim death aftel
them. He is almost as ure as death
on the catch. Emmerson is the
hardest looking one of the three-il
there could be any difference. If he
goes to the penitentiary he will g
where he belongs, and has been be
fore. Their preliminary examination
was held yesterday ; they were sent tf
Jail to await their trial at the mex
term of the circuit court. Five year,
IS the least time they can go up for
two years for larceny and three TO
burglary.

referred also to the Democratic Or
ganizers and leaders Of this vast
host-Farragut, Thomas, Smith,
Rosecrans, Mcclellan, Blair, Butler,
Hancock and q multitude of lesser
heroes. Even Missouri had furnished
1919, 900 troops when the popular vote
for Mr.. Lincoln was only 17,028 in
numbers, anG of the column of
5000 that went with Butler 10 New
Orleans, not q tenth was Republican.
Tue speaker then explained that the
same spirit of resistance to national
law and the same defiance of decis-
ions made by the highest known legal
tribunal Is chargeable to Massachu-
sets and South Carolina's acts of
notification, both of which were
arrested by resort to legitimate
and constitutional display Of
force. As an offset to dennncia-
tons against sending the army
to Boston, the recent s of troops in
Louisiana and Carolina, disapproved
by some of our highest military au-
thorities, was compared with Jack
sons respect for civil law after
Packingham's defeat at New Orleans.
If the army was sent to Boston to
catch a negro it was sent to enforce
the law, but when sent to Louisiana
and South Carolina 1t was to violate
the same law. 1.-THE right of q
free ballot was declared to be the
right protective Of all rights Let
that once be surrendered, and Amer
lean institutions will I've deprived OF
their only means of protection and
support. Those in our midst who
are aiming at ''free land, free light,
free air and free water had better
turn their attention to free ballots.
The Captains transit from use OF
the army al the polls to that Of su-
pervisors, marshals and deputy-mar-
shals was natural and graceful.

The veins do not seem to be con-

sunk on 10 sufficient depth to ascer-
tain trend and dip as general rule.
Veins on parallel ridges having the
same course, dip towards each other,
and it is contended by miners and ex

Decay of the Teeth

Arises from various causes, but principally
indiscriminate use of tooth powders and
pastes, which give momentary white
ness to the teeth while they corrode the
enamel. The timely use of that delicate

decay, harden the gums, and impart a de

THE BANNER DTsTRiCT.

Mr.. Robert M. Mcdowell, United
States deputy mineral surveyor and
mining engineer of Banner district,
furnished the following statement re-
Iating to the mining interests in Ban
ner district for the late report of the
Surveyor General:
Banner district, Boise county, %
miles from Idaho City, northeast, i'll
latitude 44o 80, is essentially silver
mining region, and rapidly developing
as such In 1875 20-stamp dry
crushing quartz mill, roasting furnace,
shop, assay Office, &c, were erected,
but owing to a deficiency in the skill
of properly chloridizing the ore, and
from other causes, no successful pro-
gress was made until within the past
year, when it was purchased by the
Elmira Silver Mining Company, CAPT
talists from Elmira, New York. The

silver bullion, assaying 900 fine, from
the lst day OF July last to the 1st day
of October. Abont so men are en-
ployed IL all departments, and the
average yield of ore mined is from
$75 to $50 pei ton, by milling process.
The absence of bases in these ores is
notable, as shown by the following
analysis:
Silica Quartz. ................. 1924
sulphur. 10

Banner district yields chlorides
(black sulphurets rarely, antimonial
arsenic, ruby and native silver. The
general direction of all the lodges
thus far prospected or developed is
northeast and southwest. Identifica
ton is not easy, as the lodges do not
crop out upon the surface; yet the sill
yer belt has been traced some ten
miles, and has width of less than &
half mile.
Some so claims are located, and
while by assays some specimens have
shown as high as $4,000 and upwards
from $50 to 500. is probably near the
