Good Detective Work,

On Monday evening a fine gold
watch and chain with diamond
seal, was stolen from the home of
Mrs. LeConte Stevens, on Letcher
Ave. On the morning of the I'd the
matter was reported to Policeman
Walker. After hearing the theory
as to who was the probable thief,
Walker went to work on a theory
of his own, entirely unsuggested
and in few hours the stolen
watch was returned from an
unsupported source. Mr.. Walker
received a very complimentary
letter the same evening from
Professor Stevens enclosing a
check for $40, as a reward for the
prompt and efficient service he
had rendered in recovering the
watch and seal.
The watch was valuable, and is
said to have cost $3.50. 1t was a
gift from Mrs. Stevens father,
Ex-Gov ernor John Letcher, and
highly priced by her.

here to outfit it will cost Grange
vile the votes Of all the Clearwater,
Newsome, Elk City and Dixie
camps in the coming county seat

the Patriot is entitled to speak for
the eastern end of the county on
this proposition. Thunder Noun
tain is competitive business and
Grangeville has as much right to
strive for it's share as any other
community, and VIC do not propose
to sleep upon our rights, regardless
of the effect Oh the county seat

X. OF p. GRAND LODGE.
Preparations Being Made fol
Entertainment of Visitors

The time is getting short in
which the people of Grangeville
have to prepare for the reception
and entertainment of the grand
lodge, Knights of Pythias, which
meets here on June 10. IL and u.
The local lodge has already accu-
mulated $500 for this purpose by
it's series of Saturday night dances,
and it is proposed to refrain from
appealing to the people and busi-
ness of the town for assistance if it
is at all possible to avoid it. Fully
300 members of the order are ex-
pected to attend the session of the
grand lodge, to which must be
added about 100 members of the
Rathbone Sisters, the ladies' aux
iliary of the order, which will also
hold it's annual convention here al
the same time. Here, then, are
450 visitors to be expected to visit
our town in the coming idcs OF
June, and the occasion is one OF
such Importance that we must all
see to it that we amply maintain
our reputation for hospitality and
good cheer when these visitors as
semble.
The local lodge is working on
the program now. The entertain.
ment for the first evening will con.
sist of an illuminated street parade
and music by two brass bands
The business houses will be asked
to decorate their stores with the
colors of the order-blue, yellow
and red, and as bunting of these
colors is not at hand an adequate
supply has been sent for A deco
rated arch of Welcome" will he
erected at the Jersey house corner,
and another, bearing the arms OF
the order, will be put up at the
other end of the city. The severa
committees will be announced in
due time, together with the full
program of exercises and entertain
ments to be given in honor of the
NlsipOlS
Contracts for the, conveyance of
the visitors from the railroad 10
Grangeville were made last year as
soon as Grangeville was designated
as the place for holding the grand
lodge, so no trouble need be bor-
rOwed on that score. 1t is of the
highest Importance that this gath
ering of representative men from
all parts of the state should be
given cordial reception and made
to feel at home. The reputation
of our town is at stake, and an
earnest effort is asked of all to put
their best foot forward and help
the local lodge in it's efforts to en-
tertain it's distinguished visitors.
