FREIGHT EYES" DIDIT
Vanderbilt Advised by Spirits
 to Wed May Pepper.
DAUGHTER LEFT TO CHARITY.
Relatives of Wealthy nrooklynitc Claim That Spirit Medium by Fraud Induced Him to
 Marry Her.

NEW YORK, June 11.--Letters from the spirit of his first wife, advising him to marry the Rev. Dr. May s. Pepper, who served as the medium for the spiritual communication, 1t is said, will be produced on Thursday, when the hearing on the application to invest- gate the sanity of Edward Ward Van- derbiit of Brooklyn is continued before Justice Maddox in the supreme court.
 Mir. vanderbilt's estate is estimated to be worth $100,000. In affidavits pre- sented 1t is alleged that spiritualistic control known as Bright Eyes" had induced MT. Vanderbilt to marry Mrs. Pepper.
 Bright Eyes, who is an alleged h. dian spirit and gives messages to Mrs. Pepper, according to the court aff1- davits, wrote number of letters through Mrs. Pepper which induced Mir. Vanderbilt to sign sundry checks. It was charged at the hearing that the daughter was left to the charity of friends by the marriage.
 The daughter in her affidavit says:
 "Upon information and belief that on or about the 1st day of June, 1907, in obedience to the advice, control and so- licitations of May S. Pepper, Edward Ward Vanderbilt contracted marriage with her and is now living with her as her husband; that alleged communi- cations from the spirit world were sent to deponent's father by May s. Pepper, | claiming to have come from deponent's dead mother through the spirit control, Bright Eyes, and which letters Ed ward Ward Vanderbilt has received and cherishes in the belief that they come from deponent's deceased moth- CT; that all these letters were received subsequent to the death of deponent's mother, and the envelopes in which said letters were contained are in the handwriting of May s. Pepper"
 She declares that her father has abso- lutely surrendered his will to the con- trol and influence of May s. Pepper as spiritualistic medium of commu- nication with deceased persons in ab. solute disregard of the exercise of sound judgment and that these infiu' ences are being used by the said May S. Pepper to procure disposition of the property of deponents father tc herself in disregard of his duties te deponent and deponent's sister, te whom it would naturally go.
 The application flor committee tc pass on MT. vanderbilt's sanity wal made by his daughter and Sarah l. , and James o. Vanderbilt, his sister and brother

AN "UNDEslRAsLE CITIZEN"

Caruso, Worlds Greatest Tenor, May
 Be Barred From United States.
 NETWORK, June 11.-Enrico Caruso, the worlds greatest tenor singer, how ever much he desires to keep his $200,- 900 per season contract with Herr Conried. may never be permitted to set foot on United States soil again. It is asserted that the federal govern ment immigration officials will not per init him to land when he seeks to re- turn to this country in October.
 The officials say that Caruso comes clearly within the meaning of an un- desirable alien as defined in section 2 of the act of 1903. This act stipulates that ..persons who have been convict ed of felony or other crime or mis- demeanor involving moral turpitude" shall be excluded from the United States. A
 It is cited that the records of the New York court in the famous mon key house" case show that Caruso was convicted of an offense strictly within the meaning of moral turpitude."

ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATE
Birthday of the Order With Feasting
and Joll;ty.

The 18th anniversary of the birth
of Odd Fellowship was celebrated
Friday night by the Emmett lodges
of Odd Fellows and Rebekahs with
song and story, feasting and good
fellowship.
The hall was crowded by the mem
bers. their families and hidden
guests. The program was pleas
ing one, consisting of songs by the
Alfalfa quartet and Irma and Fay
Hays, instrumental music, recitations
by Blanche Waring, Giles Carpenter
and Cecil Hunt, and a dialogue by
Freddie Monroe and Fred Wells.
Mrs. Stokesberry read thoughtful
paper on What Odd Fellowship
Means" Owing to the sickness of
Mrs. Frances Crosson, she was unable
to fill her allotted part on the pro-
gram.
At the close of the exercises re-
freshments were served. The occas-
ion was very pleasant one and fully
in keeping with the high rank Odd
Fellowship has taken in this bully
country of ours.

Fire at Creamery.

The creamery had narrow escape
from being destroyed by fire Thurs
day, shortly after noon. One of the
Brookshire boys and number of
companions were going to the ball
grounds and stopped at the creamery
to get some buttermilk to drink. Find
ing the door locked, they looked in
the window and saw the frames of
the south window ablaze. They at
once called Mrs. Harry Titus, who
promptly extinguish the flames with
a bucket of water. Charlie Nc
Laughlin, the proprietor, was at
dinner at the time. If the fire had
had a. few minutes more start, it is
probable it would have been destroy
ed.

The Canyon Canal.

At the meeting of the Canyon
Canal Water Users Association Sat
urday, considerable feeling was
manifest over the failure of the Can
yon canal company to be prepared
to deliver water on May /. The
Index does not believe there is cause
for alarm. The conditions that now
present themselves are the same as
prevail to greater or less extent on
all new irrigation enterprises.
The reputation of President
George w. ROGERS for honesty is un-
questioned. He will not permit his
reputation to be tarnished at this
time. He has given his word that
the canal, when completed, will be
good one, and we believe he has the
full confidence of all who know him
that such will be the case. The Can
yon Canal Company has spent $780,
600 in the construction of this great
enterprise and considerable more
will yet be expended While the land
holders and business men of Emmett
have much at stake, the fact that the
canal company has larger interests
at stake should not be lost sight of.
The disappointment over not having
water on hand at the present time is
keen, but it will do no good to get
panicky. To our notion it will be
better to encourage the company
rather than to denounce it. to assist |
instead of hindering. We have faith |
that water will be Forthcoming this
month and that there will be an
abundance during the summer.
Breaks will undoubtedly occur. They |
do in all new bitches and many old
ones, but a force of men under
President Rogers will be on hand to
repair them as quickly as possible.
So cheer up, you fellows on the
bench and slope. You have the best
lot of land on earth. All that is
necessary to make it fruitful and
dividend earning is water and the
time is near at hand when there will
will be an abundance of it.

Huntington Finds Him a
Puzzler and Emmett Wins.


Huntington went down to defeat
Sunday in q game that was close and
exciting Loeffler, the husky lad
from Minnesota, had 13 strikeouts
to his credit and several times at
critical stages, was as steady as an
old horse and moved down the bat
ters in one, two, three order. Bee
cue, his partner, played fine game
behind the bat. Bethel was in the
box for the Railroaders and though
a trifle wild at times pitched good
game. He struck out six men.
The winning run was scored in the
seventh inning by Dresser, who took
Ross place in that inning. He
reached first on an error. stole sec
ond and was advanced to third and
home by hits of Peery and Critics.
Loeffler's support was good the
best displayed this season. Each
team was credited with FIVE errors.
Features of the game were a one
handed running catch by Fairchild
of hot drive to left, which looked
good for two bases, the base running
of Dresser and the timely hitting of
the Prune Pickers. The score tells
the story in detail:

BURGLAR IN TOWN.
Seems to have a Special
Liking for Grocery Stores.

Some young fellow in this town is
evidently candidate for the state
penitentiary. Whether he is tired
of earning his own board or has an
uncomfortable longing to become a
bold, bad man, is a question that
will be solved sooner or later. One
thing is sure. however, there is a
burglar in town whose penchant
seems to be to rob grocery stores.
He is green hand at the business.
not even being able to open a cash
drawer without breaking it to pieces
and evidently not having the nerve
or ability to crack safe.
Two weeks ago he burglarized
Emory Chandler's store. Thursday
night he raided Hunts grocery. He
gained entrance by removing pane
of glass in the rear of the building
He broke open the cash drawer, but
found less than 81 in small change.
The police officers have no clue to
the perpetrator.

The next game is at Payette, and
if the Prune Pickers don't come
home with the Melon Eaters scalps
we'll miss our guess. Arrange
ments have been made for a train
from New Plymouth to Payette and
return, thus reducing the drive %
miles. The roads are good and the
ride will be pleasant one. A num-
ber from here will no doubt accom-
pany the team.
