BANDITS HOLD UP TRAIN.
Rob Mail Car About Ten Miles East
of Spokane.

Rob Mail Car About Ten Miles East
of Spokane.
Two bandits held up the n. P. pas
senger train 10 miles east of Spokane
Friday night, and have not been cap
tured. The entire force Of the sheriffs
Office and railroad detectives are
securing the vicinity of the holdup,
trying to find information which might
lead to capture.
The robbery equalled in daring the
lone attempt by Roman at Naples,
Idaho, recently.
The holdups climbed into the cab
of the engine soon after the train
pulled out of Rathdrum and forced
Engineer Fred Whittelsey to keep
going at full speed. When near Moab
the train was stopped, and while one
holdup covered the fireman the other
took the engineer back and uncoupled
the mail car. The engineer did not
work fast enough and the robber fired
two shots into the ground to hurry
him
The car was then taken past Trent
to a rockcut only nine miles from
Spokane, where a stop was made and
the registered pouches rifled.
The bandits took the keys and watch
from c. H. Raymond, mail clerk, and
ordered him to tell where the rest of
the registered matter was, but he
claimed there was no more.
The bandits then ran the engine
and car a short distance and left it
From the point where they left the
train all trace Of them has been lost
1t is believed by the postal authori
ties that the loot taken would not
amount to $1,000. There were only
two or three packages in the Chicago
Spokane through pouch and about 1C
packages in the St Paul-Seattle pouch
which is made up en- route.
The presence of mind of Clerk Ray
mond saved local registry matter
which the clerks do not put in a pouch
but handle as they go along Whe1
the train was brought to the sudden
stop Raymond suspected something
was wrong, so he put this registry
matter in a paper sack and threw il
among a lot of others.
AS soon as the bandits were gone
the trainmen returned to the engine
and back to the balance of the train
In the meantime the Spokane Office
had been notified from Trent and Z
special car with detectives was SEN
to the scene.
The bandits are described as boil
young men of medium height Botf
wore SLOUGH hats and old clothes. i

COMBS THAT FREEZE.
Not Wise for Farmers In Cold Gil
mates to Keep Hens with Big Combs.

In the more northern sections OF
the United States 1t is a mistake to
breed hens that have thin big combs
as they often freeze, and this Is to
the detriment of the health of the hen
and interferes with her services as an
egg layer. In the milder portions of
the country the farmer can indulge
in his liking for pretty combs, but
mot in the cold north, If the hens are
not to be given more than ordinary
protection. Nor should such fowls be
purchased as a foundation stock
There are many varieties of fowls
that either have the heads covered
with feathers or have a rose comb
which is less likely to freeze on &C
count of the blood circulating more
rapidly than it can in the fabby comb
1t is current opinion that fowls that
have their combs frozen are rendered
for a time unsatisfactory producers
of eggs. A fowl with frozen comb
is an unsightly object at best, and
since 1t can be avoided it should be
Ii fowls with such combs are kept
they will have to be watched on the
very cold days and kept In out of the

MAKES A GOOD COMBINATION.
Prunes and Oranges for Jam Are
Highly Recommended.

Prunes and oranges make a good
combination for JAM Get the large
sized prunes, If possible, wash them
thoroughly in both hot and cold water,
then cut from the pit Put the fruit
through meat chopper. To each
cupful of chopped prunes take cup
full Of cut oranges.
Put In the grated rind of one-half
of the oranges used, then peel and cut
them in small pieces. Good California
prunes will sweeten themselves, but
with the orange they will require
some sugar. A large tablespoonful Of
sugar to each cupful of orange will
be sufficient if the oranges are fairly
sweet ones. To two cupfuls of prunes
add one-half cupful Of water. Stir all
well together and stand on the back
of the range in tightly covered ket-
tie or crock.
Do not let it get too hot, but 1t
may remain at simmering heat half
a day or longer with frequent stir
rings and hastings, when it will be
ready to pack in the jars.

Broilers.

If the farmer becomes interested in
broilers and wishes TO raise them for
the city market he will find 1t safer to
begin in small way rather than In a
large way. The people that go to
great expense generally find them
selves caught at some point in the OPP
erations the first year or two. Either
they cannot get the kind of eggs they
want to use or they cannot get the
help they need at the right time. 1t
must be remembered that broiler
does not remain broiler for all time
and that he must be disposed Of while
still of tender age. 1t is better to let
the broiler business grow up with the
rest of the business. Then all the
different factors will be developed at
the same time

she rolled up her sleeves and for a

had not enjoyed since those happy
days when the Blanks did not keep a
cook. The judges delight was SO great
that by way of appreciative acknowl-

with beautiful ermine cloak. Quite
naturally, the incident was a good
deal noised about among the social
acquaintance of the Blanks and
spirit Of envious emulation was de-
veloped in certain quarters. 1t was in
