The Bulletin, always having Its weather eye on the
alert to bring Deputy Easey in discredt reprints
article which crept into the columns of the Caldwell
Record through mistake, which gives Sheriff Taylor
credit fer capturing jesse Gilbert. The Bulletin
knew full well the article error In reply Il

county sheriff for statement Of facts, he says II
presume the Record got its information from heresay
and after told them their mistake they did not
take the trouble to correct It. W. H. Taylor, sheriff

Of our citizens, this delectable gang

and that we "khew full we'll the

when the Republican said we knew

falsehood. And when did ever the
BULLETIN mention the name of
Easley only in a respectful man

easily made. but we want proof.
Produce from the BULLETIN the par
agraph, the line or the word it has

disreputable means to vent per-

The Helfrich rlercantile House.

For twelve years E. c. Helfrich has
been conducting a general supply
store in Mountain Home and he has
always held the esteem and conf.
dence of the people of this section.
Recently he has made such marked
additions to his stock of goods that it
necessitated more space for them.
Consequently he is now arranging SO
that hereafter the whole of the Hell
frich block will be utilized for the dis
play of goods. The brick vault that
stood in the north side of the building
has been removed, also the petition at
the rear Of the same, which, combined
with the old quarters, makes a commo-
dious store OF so feet frontage by 70
feet in depth. The jackson avenue
apartment is utilized for big display
of dry goods, carpets, ladies and gen
tlemen's furnishing goods, ladies and
childrens' shoes, and many other
things adapted to their wants, while
the south side, or o'd quarters, is for
displaying an immense line of gro
ceries, gentlemen's clothing, hats,
boots and shoes, hardware, crockery,
tinware, etc. In short it is doubtless
now one OF the most commodious and
well equipped mercantile houses in
this part of Idaho. The numerous
customers and friends of this old-time
and reliable house rejoice at its add
vancement and wish Mr.. Helfrich
continued prosperity.
