HURLED TO DEATH BY
COLLISION WITH CAR
FARMER KILLED INSTANTLY
AT RIO H0ND0
Inbound Car on Whittier Branch
Strikes Rear of Wagon and
Throws Him Against
Telegraph Pole

An aged farmer, whose name is SUI
posed to be Irwin, was killed at Rio
Hondo station on the Whittier branch
of the Pacific Electric line, last night
by inbound car 1913.
The man, who from appearances was
about 65 years of age, had driven to
the station, it is said, to await the ar
rival of the car from Los Angeles, on
which he was expecting some relatives
who were to spend Sunday with him
at his ranch.
He had driven across the tracks to
reach the south side when an inbound
car came along at high rate of speed
and struck the rear wheel of his wag-
on, which had hardly cleared the
track.
The impact was of sufficient force to
throw the man from his wagon, and
he struck his head against a telegraph
pole, crushing his skull. Death was
almost instantaneous.
The car was stopped and the body
brought to this city and taken to Pierce
Bros morgue, where an inquest will
be held.
There was nothing on the body by
which it could be identified excepting
a grocer's memorandum made out in
the name of Irwin" and the coroner
and the morgue officials We're unable
to learn anything further last night

YOUTHFUL SLEUTHS
NAB A WRONGDOER
Two Young Disciples Of Sherlock
Holmes, Aged Eleven and Ten
Respectively, Arrest Lad
for Robbery

Two amateur disciples of Sherlock
Holmes effected an arrest yesterday
morning. and, elated at their success,
dragged their prisoner to the central
station, where they had hlm pookeo on
a charge of embezzlement.
The two sleuths, Jasper F. Tyler
aged 10. living at Second and olive
streets, and Myron English, aged H.
living at Second and Hill streets. ar
rested Jacob Manhoff, aged 10.
The appearance of the youthful Of
ficers at the police station created con-
siderable amusement.
1--WE want to see the officer IN
charge" they chirped.
why do you want to see himF they
were asked.
'oWell, we have captured a thief and
want to deliver him TO the man in
command" they answered.
They entered Capt. Broadhead's Of
fee and told their story:
I'VE went to theater on Main near
Sixth street Thursday. We were sit
ting near drunken man. Pretty soon
this boy (Manhoff) came along selling
candy. The man bought a sack and
handed this kid a IS bill to pay for
the scent bag of candy ManhoG
handed him $2.05 and told him he
would go after the other change. He
left the show and did not come back.
1--WE have been on the watch for the
thief since that evening and this morn
ing we spotted him at Fifth and Spring
streets and thought we would arrest
him and bring him up here. He did
not want to come with us, but we
dragged him along. When we once got
hold of him he could not get away.
HE gave us some trouble, but we
would not let him go and kept on until
we landed him at the station"
The lads were proud of their feat
and were much elated when Manhoff
was sent to the detention home.
The police are investigating the case.

q small farm can be made to

Of DIR. Green, of Point Peter, in
Oglethorpe County, Georgia. He
sold his farm this fall for over
fifty dollars per acre, and is go
ing to buy him larger one. On
a fifty acre crop this year he
produced the following:
Is acres cotton made him 16
bales.
ii acres corn made him 400
bushels, weighed.
5 acres wheat made him 65
bushels.
13 acres oats made him 347 1-2
bushels, threshed.
Besides his peavine hay off
his oat and wheat land.

equally with the small farmers.
In fact the general prosperity
of our country and the develop
ment Of rural communities de-
pend more largely upon this
class than any other. We Shave
not yet learned what few acres
can be made to produce, and our
small farmers must be encour
aged along three lines-1, to en-
rich. their land; 2, to grow a
greater variety of crops and 8, to
read and Tenlarge their mental
scope. Ignorance, na1rowness
and poverty of gland and person
go hand In hand.
However poor farmer may be
and limited his acres, we want 10
see him working on the right lines
making few acres richer each
year, terracing this field, stopp-
ing a wash here, draining this
piece of wet land, putting out a
few fruit trees, starting berry
patch, putting in more grain or
grass, buying some better tools,
getting better strain of cows,
hogs or chickens, painting his
house, doing something to plant
his feet firmly upon higher
ground this year than they were
the last.
On account of our having
plenty of land and the ease with
which a homestead is obtained in
our country, our farmers do not
appreciate their heritage, nor do
they dream of the possibilities
within each acre of Southerr
soil. We must learn more and
get to practicing better methods
upon our farms. We must begin
the intensive system as our
methods and the extensive as to
the variety we produce. To
make our farms self-sustaining,

THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

The Americans enthusiastically welcome this op-
portunty to pay their respects to Senator Dubois
for his valiant and effective nerposition in their be-
half They rallying to the invitation to this ban
quet in to gladden. the hearts of those who pro-
posed it, and to show the distinguished guest of the
evening that Salt Lake Americans have not failed
to note with approval and the highest appreciation,
his brilliant and consistent record the question
which IN common they have deeply at heart.
The banquet bids fair to be the great social-po-
htcal event of the year. Not only is success already
assured for it, but a splendid triumph which will
warm the hearts of every loyal American in the
State, and especially of those who have the good
fortune to be present at the banquet.
In addition to the banquet to be given Mr. Du-
bols by the American men of Salt Lake on the even
ing of February 22nd, the American women in this
Mormon stronghold intend also to honor him. Mr.
Dubois has accepted the following invitation:
Hon. Fred t. Dubos-Dear sir We learn through
the Salt Lake Tribune that you are to be in our
city on February 22nd and that the american Men"
are to tender you banquet the night of that day.
Now the american Women" would be pleased to
give you informal reception in some home if you
have the time to spare Sincerely
The American Woman's Club,
Mrs. E. G. Kidder, Secy
The Womans Auxiliary Club of Salt Lake City
have arranged also for public reception to Mr..
Dubois on Saturday afternoon the 22nd from 2

A Parcels Post System.

BY New Hampshire Senator Mr. Burnham. a
bill has been introduced in the Senate to provide
rural delivery parcel post system and if it becomes
law the service will become operative on $4,000
rural routes. Mr.. Burnham has undertaken to pro-
tect the general mercantile business against the de-
partmen stores of the commercial ceners BY insert
ing the following provisions:
That nothing herein contained shall be taken as
authorizing the acceptance delivery at the special
rates OF postage herein provided of any parcel
offered by any acting agent representa-
tive upon commission otherwise, for any person
or company not resident such rural delivery route
That only such parcels shall be received for de1iv-
cry at the special rates of postage herein provided
as are offered by bona fide merchants or dealers
whose regular places of business are on rural de1iv
cry routes covered by this act in the ordinary and
regular course of their business and by residents on
such routes in their individual capacity.
Still the measure will be looked upon with Sis
picion by the jeopardzed interests. The courts
would undoubtedly be asked, should it pass about
the constitutionality of law authorizing the post
office department to extend privileges to one class of
citizens and withhold them from another class of
citizens.
And if the courts should decide that it could not
be done such measure might open the long closed
doorway of trade to the centralized mercantile es-
adjustments of the large cities.

Banquet by "Americans."

The following from the Salt Lake Tribune tells
of Washington day tribute to an Idaho man in be-
half of the progressive element of the commercial
center of Utah:
The banquet proposed to Senator Dubois in this
city on Saturday evening next is receiving enthu-
siastic approval in American circles. Every one
recognizes the appropriateness of it. Every one
senses the fact that Senator Dubois has voiced
american principles in the United States Senate,
and that he has risen to the full stature of stalwart
American citizenship in his opposition to the destruc
tive and reasonable usurpations of the Mormon
priesthood over civil and political affairs.
The Tribune rejoices that this thought came to
number of alert, earnest Americans here, to tender
this recognition to Senator Dubois. 1t is an honor
to us all that he accepts this tender as made. No
American familiar with Senator Duboiss work and
record can fail to recognize the eminent propriety
of this offer and its acceptance.
