MRS. 7. N. CALLAHAN
ROBBED OF JEWELS
Robbers Enter Her Room at Long.
mount, Colorado, and Take
Jewels Valued at $500

The Denver POST of the 18th inst, con
tains an account of most peculiar and
daring robbery committed at the home
of I. M. Callahan, general manager of
the Ryan, Callahan Il Hood stores, one
| of which is located on Bridge Street, this
city. On reading the account we called
on Mr.. Callahan in The Cash Store, and
he said the report was true, that Mrs.
Callahan had been robbed Of So, 800 worth
of jewels at the home in Longmount,
Colorado, in the manner described,
which, briefly is AS follows:
Ga Tuesday evening Mrs. Callahan at
tended a social event in Longmount,
and on returning at late hour she went
to her room and retired Unknown to
her there was smooth burglar on the>
balcony with his eye close to the win
dow, watching her movements where
the window shade revealed gleam OF
light She took off har jewels and slip.
ped them into tiny sack which she
fastened under her knee with garter.
They consisted Of one solitaire diamond
ring, karats, one ring containing a
two karat emerald and two diamonds of
one karat each, another ring set with
/ Ia diamond, and pair of diamond ear
rings of 2 !, karats each.
On waking in the morning the Jewels
were gone, and developments in the
case show that the man on the balcony
had waited for about an hour until the
lady was in sound slumber Then he
opened window, entered the room,
chloroformed her, cut the garter, and
made his escape.
She notified the police and Mr.. Gala
han of the matter, and an effort is be
ng made to recover them, with little
prospect of success. A reward $500 is
offered for the recovery of the stones.
Mr.. Calahans house was burglarized
,wo years ago when Mr.. Callahan, Mr..
Hood and several others we're there, and
le and his guests lost about $500 in
money and jewels. All OF them were
;hloroformed on that occasion.

is provided all the time, and all who
visit the store agree that the manage,
ment is providing a treat in every re-
spect.
During the winter months. the store
was greatly enlarged, more than double
the amount of room being provided that
they had last year, and an extra force
has been employed for some time to place
on the shelves, tables and innumerable
hangers provided for storing and dis
playing goods. The store occupies the
west half of the Younie Block on Bridge
Street, and Miss Ryan the genial man
ager, seems to take special pleasure in
meeting and getting acquainted with
customers and their needs She is one
of those big g-hearted women who is ia
miliar with every detail from buying
goods in trainload lots, to waiting on the
timid girl or bashful boy who wants some
trivial thing and hardly knows how to
select it. Miss Ryan is careful to have
all customers receive equal attention
and courtesy, and employs salesman and
salesladies who will carry out her poll
cies.

Last Saturday afternoon the 7-year
old twin daughter of Mr.. and Mrs

away was fire made of brush, heavy
wind was blowing and spark from the
fire caught in the girls clothing She
Immediately started for the house, and
by the time she reached the back door,
her clothes were in flames. After get
ting in the house she was caught by her
older sisters and father, who did every
thing in their power to pull her clothes
off and put the fire out, but not until

back was almost burned to crisp. The
girl is still alive and the doctor says has
a good chance to recover.

A Unique Sale.

One of the greatest sales of goods that
has ever been made in Blackfoot has
been going on at The Cash Store on
Bridge Street the past week and is still
in progress, it being the plan to continue
at all next week.
1t is known as the "New Goods Sale
and there certainly is a great display
of goods right from the factory. 1t will
be remembered that Miss Kathrine Ryan
local manager of The Cash Store went
east several weeks ago to Join their corps
of buyers. They spent month in
New York selecting and buying the
most complete line of goods that it was
possible to put into store that is de
signed to supply all classes of customers
who want the best, the latest and the
most artistic that the market affords.
They were all experienced in buying
goods in the big markets, and the way
they succeeded in supplying the needs
of this locality is shown by the grand
display in every department and by tie
stream of customersgoing and coming.
1t is notable that many who were shop
ping there on Saturday, the day of the
opening, returned on Monday with
friends who wanted to "be shown" Tc-
morrow will probably be record break
er in sales there, and the management
has provided extra clerks for the occa-
sion, several having come from Golden
Rule Mercantile Go. at Pocatello to as
sist until the big New Goods Sale is over.
This sale is being conducted some
what on the plan of the "Loom End"
sale of last fall, which interested so
many people during the two weeks it
lasted. Many people who love to go
shopping, have gone in to enjoy the
optic feast that the stock of goods af-
fords, and as one lady remarked, st is

AT the meeting of the stock holders
OF The Southeastern Idaho Fair held
last week, it was decided by unan-
imous vote, to have Fair this year,
and meeting will be held in May to
outline the seasons work and for the
dates.
Rexburg is preparing for fair, and
st. Anthony is enthusiastic over the
work of last year. Caldwell has awaF-
ened to the benefits of fair and the
whole population seems determined to
maintain it. There seems to be gen.
eral revival of the fair idea.
