from Boise. and this interest will be par
ticularly lively during the session Of the

attract attention throughout the entire
state. After that shall have been set
tied, many matters Of highest import

The entertainment given by the pupils
Of the Emmett public schools on Friday
evening OF last week. was Of such a
nature as to reflect great credit on the
pupils aud their instructors. The pro-
gram consisted Of music, recitations.

gave evidence Of careful training. and a
desire to do their very best. To who
ever made the selections is due the
credit Of nice discrimination and good
judgement in such matters. for it seem
ed that each performer was made to
appear at their very best in rendering
the part to which they had been as
signed. We are sorry not To be able to

was ascertaIned that Gordon has a wife
living in this city, and that he had de-
serted her after the robbery Of tho
