Gives Warning of Crime

This was continued until most Of the
passengers and the conductor had been
robbed, when suddenly the other man
ut the rear of the Ger jocosely remarked
here is where we get off, Then
ordering the car to be stopped, both
men jumped off and disappeared in
the darkness.
The police of both cities were inn
mediately notified by DR.. Wilcox of
the incident and the special detective
Of the Pacific Electric went at once
to the neighborhood of the robbery. AT
S:45 Conductor Campbell ON another
short line" car noticed man lodging
behind a tree in the vicinity of the
Monrovia junction and at once tele-
phoned to the car barns.
Officers were at once hurried to this
place, but the man had disappeared.
Campbell believes that the man he saw
resembled one of the two hold-up men
and this would indicate that the men
we're making eastward in their effort
to escape,

Officials Hamper Police

From the conductor and motorman
a description of the men was
obtained and given to the company
officials, but when the local police de-
tectives attempted to gain it they were
refused.
In fact it seemed to the police off,
GERS that the railroad officials We're en-
deavoring to throw every obstacle In
their way possible. Practically all the
information that the police gained dur
ing the night was through their own
efforts Capt. Flammer did not com
ment on the railway company's actions
to the press, but 1t was learned that he
is very indignant.
Surprise prevails all over the depart
ment at the reluctance displayed by the
railroad in assisting the officers.
In discussing the affair after 1t was
reported several of the detectives ex-
pressed themselves as not surprisd in
the least. They said that they had Sus-
pected such crime would occur.

Los Angeles Poorly Pollced

mo city in the world that makes
and pretensions at police protection is
as poorly policed as Los Angeles" said
one of the officers. "Do you know that
if every patrolman on the Los Angeles
force was on duty at once that each one
would have 1900 people to look out for"
And the opinion seemed to be general.
The conductor of the car was Frank
Bonney Of 829 North Euclid avenue and
the Motorman was d. o. Blair of S12
North Fair Oaks avenue. The car
was No. 273 and left Los Angeles over
the short line at $50. with twenty
eight people on board.

Details Of the Affair Given


1t was 7:1O when the hold-up oc-
Cured and the crew attempted to tel
ephone to the barns at the Scheutzen
park, one-quarter of a mile from where
the men left the car, but the tele-
phone which had been there was gone,
having been removed a week before.
The men then tried the phone at
Sierra Vista. Among the men on the
car were A. c.. Walworth. Ed. A.

Good Roads Convention.

The convention held at Idaho Falls
Tuesday under the auspices of the of.
ficers of the National Good Roads AS
sociation was success in every par.
ticular Armory hall was packed at each
session and a large number could not
gain admission. The addresses were
good both those by the visitors and by
local people. The addresses made by
the National Officers possessed the at
tribute of practical application, if you
couldn't afford to make road costing
five thousand a mile make one better
than you now have costing a few hun
dred per mile. Col. Moore especially
illustrated how very great improve
ment could be made in our present dirt
roads at a minimum cost. He gave us
a roast about overfowing bitches that
will keep some ears burning till snow
flies. Committees have been named
and permanent organization effected
under the title of the Bingham County
Good Roads Association.

Fine Crop Weather.

This valley is trying its best to escape
the annual June frost this year and up
to date it has not done SO in vain. Last
year frost on the 9th of June killed
many acres of Sugar beets and garden
truck suffered. Last Sunday when the
weather man sent heavy wind and a
mass of dark threatening clouds the old
timers began to squirm. 1t was a bad
sign, for in the past a cold spell usually
followed. A heavy rain fell Sunday
night and continued to drizzle spasmod-
ically most of Monday. In the afternoon
it began to clear off and at even-tide the
sky was almost free from clouds and
planters thought the frost would come
that evening, but instead a heavy dew
settled down and most all believe the
danger is passed. The rain was worth
thousands of dollars to the district as it
softened the crust of the ground and
everything is bursting through the
ground in fine shape. The beet crop is
most promising and crops of every kind
are far ahead of most seasons of the
past. A prosperous year is surely ahead
of the farmers.

WALLOP THE FALLS
Our Baseball Boys Know the Game
and Play 1t Well

The Idaho Falls base ball team can
play and win from teams that have de-
feated our team; they can talk it over
among themselves and plan a big fall
out of Blackfoot, but when they come
down with their own umpire and best
players and try to carry their plans out
they go home in bad spirits, accusing
each other of all sorts of mean things
At least this is what happened when
they visited Blackfoot last Sunday.
The game was called for 2:30 and the
umpire stepped into the diamond at that
time and called the game. The visitors
were given the first bat and as Captain
Sage called his men on the grounds they
showed up full of ginger. From the very
start it was evident that the game be-
longed to Blackfoot Every man in the
team was on his toes and when anything
came his way it was neatly gobbled up,
playing almost an errorless game. Paris
Martin did the twirling for the home
team and he and catcher Henry did as
good work as was ever put up on the
grounds and had the best support imag-
Unable. The Falls boys only made two
hits outside the infeld.
1t was clean contest from start to
finish. The visitors were given every
thing they asked for and shown every
courtesy, but were outplayed at every
stage of the game as the following table
shows:

Spring Trade Opens.

If the crowded hitch racks and throng-
ed business houses are an indication, the
lull in the business affairs of the town
that comes every spring was broken last
Saturday afternoon. Main and Bridge
streets were crowded most of the day
and most every one had packages and
bundles. The clerks in every store were
unusually busy attending the wants of
the army of buyers that poured in and
out of the business houses. The spring
and summer trade is coming in earlier
this year than usual. Crop conditions
are very promising this year and people
are in better spirit for buying than
ever before. Blackfoot is becoming a
great trading center, people coming for
miles and miles to buy their supplies of
our merchants.

SHALL WE CELEBRATE
No Nearby Towns Announce Inten.
tiOnS as Yet

So far none of the nearby cities OF
towns will celebrate the 4th of July this
year. Idaho Falls intends to pass the
day by and have some sort of carnival in
the fall. No announcement has been
made at Pocatello as yet and as it is get
ting late they too no doubt intend to let
the day go by. This leaves the way
open to Blackfoot for rousing celebra-
tion. If our citizens wish to celebrate
the nations birth day it is time arrange
ments were being made. The Republi-
can cheerfully offers it's Office as meet
ing place for any gathering that may be
called to discuss the matter and suggests
that some one assume the initiative step
which is all that is needed to get the
people working for big day.

After Indian.

Marshall Hilliard had little exper-
ience with an Indian last Sunday eve
ming who had been embibing in little
fire water. The officer was on the trail
of the Indian and had followed him to
the rack where his pony was hitched and
found him attempting to mount. He
was suddenly changed in his idea how
ever when the officer, who was too far
away to make an arrest, pulled his gun,
and instead of riding he decided to run.
He distanced Mr.. Hilliard early in the
sprint and has not "benzoine" or been
drunk since.

Visitors Are Welcome.

There are many things in a modern
printing Office. such as the Republican,
that prove exceedingly interesting to
those unfamiliar with the trade. Often
while we are running our large cylinder
power press as many as fifteen or twenty
people will stop and watch it through
the windows. There is something about
it's operation that interests them. We
are always glad to explain everything
about our business to those who show
polite interest. All the machinery in the
Republican Office is driven by electricity
and is of the latest pattern. The type is
all new and is kept in clean improved
cases. In fact the office is modern, up
to-date, neat and has capacity for
handling every description of printing.
We have worked up an exceedingly large
list of subscribers for our Newspaper and
the subscription books are open to ad-
vertisers who wish to exercise care in
their selection of a publication. There
is no secret about our subscription list
as is usually the case among publishers
of weekly papers. Most all the subscrib-
ers reside in this county and this fact,
remembering the large list printed, as
sures advertisers prominence that is
worth the money we ask for our space.
Money spent in continuous advertising
pays if the advertising is advertising,
that is, if something is said to interest
people and the people are reached. We
can almost absolutely guarantee that
every person who buys in Blackfoot reads
the Republican. There are very few
who are not subscribers who trade here.
When merchant buys something he
has as much right to ask the quality as
does his customers and that is why we
say our subscription list is open for
count by any merchant who advestises
the columns of the Republican.

Tramway Working.

D. Fl. Biethan went up to his lime
property at Arco Wednesday. The tram
way is now complete and is bringing
down lime rock. 1t costs quite little
money to install the machinery and
other paraphnalia to handle the rock and
the development has just reached the
stage where the product can be loaded
and shipped. The Sugar factories in
this part of the country will use the lime
rock in refining sugar beets.

HOisted Their Flag.

When the news of the great and over,
whelming victory of the Japanese was
received here last week, there could be
seen on the faces of the orientals here
the unmistakable stamp of joy. Out in
the beetfelds where many of the brown
men are employed, we are told their flag
floated proudly in the breeze in celebra-
tion of the great victory of their broth
ers. They almost equal the Americans
in their impulsiveness and quite surpass
us in nervousness.

A New Enterprise.

DR.. J. w. Woods passed through this
city last Wednesday on his way home to
Mackay after an absence of several
weeks spent in experimenting with the
new machine recently invented by Mr..
Nicholson of Ogden, for separating gold
from sand. Mr.. Woods and Otto Hud-
son have 200 hundred acres of island
land in the Snake river below this place
and the experiments with the new mach
inc were made on 1000 pounds of sand
taken from this property, from which 20
pounds of concentrates were produced.
According to assays already taken fifty
tons of Snake river sand refined by the
Nicholson machine will produce $226.40
worth of Gold alone, and some OF tho
sand carries high values in platinum
which this machine viii also seperate.
The machine has a capacity for 500 tons
per day and can be operated at cost OF
$4,000. Mr.. Woods is very enthusiastic
over the experiments and expects soon
to be operating one of the machines on
the island property. He is trying to in
terest Blackfoot capital in the enter
prise. Mr.. Nicholson will as soon as ar
rangemento can be completed, erect
factory in which to manufacture his
machine and it may be that Blackfoot
could secure its location. Ii Dr. Woods
machine proves the success he antlci-
pates there Is room for a hundred ma

NOTES ON THE GAME.

The feature of the game was the dou-
BILE play from home to second and from
second to home in which Wessler and
Henry proved themselves top-notchers.
1t is feat seldom successfully perform
ed in the league teams.
Provincials coaching is most enter
tanning; he is without doubt the best
"jollier" in these parts.
Someone could make little money
with lemonade, etc.
The short shower interrupted the
game in the fifth inning, but made the
diamond faster and more agreeable for
the spectators.
