Wormy Apples Barred.

Gus Ingalls, of New Plymouth was
in town last week. He is deputy
horticultural Inspector for this dis
trict and spent two days inspecting
the orchards in his section. He also
visited the grocery stores here and
warned the grocers not to sell wormy
fruit. The law is very strict in this
respect both to the seller and buyer.
The only use wormy apples can be
put to, under the law, is to make
them up into cider and vinegar.
Mr.. Ingalls, is a successfulfruit rais-
er. He has six acres of apple trees
which he estimates will net him
$4,000, and he doesn't believe there
is a worm in the entire orchard. He
is offering a bounty of 5 cents for
every wormy apple found on his
trees.

Youthful Traveller.

Leroy Bishop, the four-year -old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Bishop OF
Caldwell, caused no small stir in the
vicinity of his home Monday even
ing. Mr.. and Mrs. Whelchel of En-
NETT started for their home about
o'clock in the evening and Leroy
climbed into the back of the buggy
for ride His mother lifted him
out and after warning him that he
might have been carried clear to
Emmett, went into the house. On
looking out, she saw that he had
climbed in again, but felt sure that
he would ride only short distance.
His brothers and sisters watched and
as far as they could see he was still
in the rig. Later they walked to the
river bridge, thinking the little fel-
low might be afraid to walk home
alone. but found no trace of him. By
this time the mother was alarmed
and tried to intercept Mr.. and Mrs.
Welchel by telephone, but to no pur-
pose. Later she phoned to the Whel-
chel residence at Emmett. asking
that a searching party be sent out |
from that end of the road, while |
one from Caldwell started in pursuit. |
1t seems the little fellow has sister
in Emmett and he made up
his mind to go and see her. Accord
ingly he snuggled down under the
buggy seat and Mr.. and Mrs. Whel-
chel were nearly at their journeys
end before they were aware of his
presence. They finally recognized
nim as the Bishop child and the tele-
phone did the rest. G. w. Hodson

WANT COOK PARDONED
Petition Being Circulated for
Release from P Penitentiary

Mrs Cook, the wife of Charlie
Cook, who is serving term in the
penitentary for holding up and robb
ing the Jap restauranttwo years ago,
Is circulating petition for the par
don of her husband. The petition sets
forth that the prisoner has been
punished enough; that his family
need his support, and that it is be-
lieved he would, if released, lead an
upright life.
Strange to say the petition has
been signed by many prominent cit
liens of this and neighboring towns,
as we'll as by former and present
county officials. Ex-Major Pinney,
of Boise heads the list. and ex-sheriff
Nicols, County Clerk Badley, Deputy
Sheriff Purkiser and other officials
also signed.
r The crime for which Cook is now
paying the penalty, was committed
July Is. 1905, at about midnight.
He. with Bill Lewis and several other
Apanions, held up the Jap restau
rant in this city. In running
hight with officers, Cook escaped

Fiven the same dose.
The Index is at loss to under
stand why prominent county and
city officials and citizens should sign
this petition for Cooks pardon.
Charlie Cook, aside from the crime
Of which he was convicted, had given
the officers a great deal of trouble.
The loss of numerous horses and
cattle was repeatedly traced to him
and his associates. He was general /
gy regarded as a tough character {
and the people in this section were
pleased when he was sent over the
road. And now, after year, the t
governor is being petitioned to par c
don him! Such action is incompre- 6
hensible, and results in encouraging j
crime.
