being the first week the attendance has
been quite good. Following is the en-
rollment of the different departments
Primary, 81; intermediate, 36; Gram

Hicks predicts cold, stormy weather
throughout the month of October and,
as he generally hits it about right, farm
ers and gardeners should arrange their
work accordingly. All perishable crops
should be taken care of.
John Driessel and wife, of Uniontown,
WASH, were in the city the first of the
week. They returned to Uniontown
yesterday but Mr.. Driessel will return
next week to arrange about putting in
hardware store if he can secure suit
able location at reasonable figure.
The school board has decided to allow
all children becoming of school age by
February 1st, 1908, the privilege of COM
mencing school at once so as not to be
behind in their studies. Send them in
now if you wish them to attend school
this term,
Frank Cary plead guilty to the charge
of simple assault last week at Mt. Idaho
and was sentenced to serve 20 days in
the county Jail. A petition was circu-
lated here Saturday and pretty general
ly signed asking that the sentence be
suspended and that fine be imposed
instead. We understand Judge Steele
refused 10 look at the petition.
DIR. Smith, as administrator of the
Smiley estate, Wednesday sold the stock
of furniture and undertaking and leased
the building for year to J. N. Modem,
who will put in complete and up to
date line Of furniture and undertaking
as soon as the stock can be delivered
here. Mr. Modem is practical furni-
ture man and is sure to make a success
of the venture.
A report was received here Wednes-
day to the effect that the Stites-G Grange
vile stage had been held up on the
Sites hill about six miles from that
place on Tuesday night, by lone high
wayman armed with q winchester.
The passengers were compelled to get
off the stage, pull off their coats and
vests, which were taken in charge by
the robber, turn their trousers pockets
wrong side out and then line up with
their backs to the hold-up man, who
coolly went through the articles of wear
ing apparel. He secured $3.50 in money,
$3.50 diamond ring and gold watches,
and then disappeared in the darkness.
The stage then resulted its journey to
Grangeville. The robber has not yet
been located.
A wholesale stealing occurred in the
Greencreek neighborhood last Saturday
night when a large team was stolen
from the farm of Louis Asker, another
from Andrew Persons ranch and set
of harness and saddle from the Rogers
farm. The harness belonged to Ray
Bartlett of this place, who was hauling
grain for Rogers, and the saddle was
owned by one of Rogers hired men.
The stealing seems to have all been done
by the same gang and in spite of ali eff
forts it has been impossible to locate
the thieves. Such bold robbery is sell
dom heard Of and unless the thieves are
apprehended nothing will be safe unless
under lock and key. We hope to be
able soon to chronicle the capture of the
criminals.
