Robbers Captured
HoId-Ups TraiIed and are
Now in Jail Thieves
and Fighters.

A hold-up and free fight in
which a knife was used, were two
of the exciting events of Tuesday
night
The fight occurred in the early
evening, after dark, between two
drunken grievance against each 9th
er. One used knive, or some sharp
weapon, on the others face, with the
result that the other wore about ae
bad a face as one would usually
find outside a gun-powder explosion.
The hold-up occurred about two
O'Clock Wednesday morning. Chas.
Earl, barkeeper for Sturgis & Clark,
closed up the saloon and went out
for supper, some time after mid
night, turning down most of the
lights in the place. Apparently the
thieves had been watching for him,
and expected that he had closed up
for the night. The broke through
the side door to the place and were
ransacking the cash register when he
returned He went into the room as
usual, his first warning of anything
wrong coming when he was held up
at the point of gun. They ordered
his wealth to the other stuff they
had gathered up, getting in all
watch, a revolver and about $25 in
money.
Word was sent to sheric Wheeler,
who soon had Deputy jug, former
deputy George Brown, Jack Boul-
ware and Jake Robson on the trail.
The deputies found the two men
about 10 miles west of town. They
offered no resistance, though they
were heavily armed. They are now
in jail, waiting for trial.
Through some clever detective
work it was Termed that large lot
of stolen stuff had been cached in
an unused shed that had been leased
to Purdum & Purdum. Mr.. Purdum
assisted the officers in a search and
they unearthed a large quantity OF
plunder-rubber boots, shoes, high
grade socks and cigars, amounting
to several hundred dollars. This
stuff had been apparently stolen
from railroad cars, and hidden away
waiting for a chance to dispose of It.
1t is now stored at the sheriff's Of
flee waiting for Identification by the
railroad detectives.
The sheriff's Office is convinced
that the whole band belongs togeth-
er-the six men arrested for car
robbery, the two holdups and pro-
badly the fighters. There may still
be some other members at large,
but the Jail is already as full as it
will hold. The others will have to
hide out pretty vigorously when the
Jail gets empty, or be gathered in
like the rest.

NEW CIVIL ENGINEER.

J. c. Vernon, the Civil Engineer
who recently came to Idaho from
Logansport, Indiana, has established
his Office in the Baugh brick block
and when his tripods arrive, will be
ready for businss. 1t is fortunate for
Shoshon and Lincoln county that an
engineer of such skill should decide
to locate here especially at a time
when irrigation projects are being
opened up in rapid succession which
insures a rapid settling up of the
county and a corresponding develop
ment of industries in various lines
and all calling for public improve
ments to keep pace with the endless
procession of advancement and ma
terial upbuildiny. To begin with
Mr.. Vernon is an expert bridge build
er, having had experience with wood
en-, steel and stone bridges OF all
sizes and patterns. That Lincoln
county will need lot of bridges In
the next few years goes without say
ing, and she will want the very best
that can be built for the money de-
voted for this purpose. 1t will come
handy then to have an expert on
hand to prepare estimates and give
information relative to each undrtak-
ing that will save time and money
and enable the most results to be
got out of the money and labor ex-
preded.

Great Clover Creek Land Rush
Twelve Hundred Registrations for the $4,000 Acres Opened
Cooding, Monday---Land Going Fast

Twelve hundred and ten registrations,
averaging for about 100 acres each, or
for 12O, 900 acres in all, were filed for
the 25, 900 acres of Clover Creek land,
at Gooding, Monday.
This registration list leads everything
yet recorded in the state for the amount
of land to be opened; practically five
times as much land asked for as there
was land to supply.
The weather was bleak and stormy,
the morning being one of the most vio-
lent of the entire year, yet the crowd
was in the best of spirits and the draw
ing went off as cheerfully as though it
were midsummer. The drawing was

conducted by the company under the
supervision of the state land board.
Close to 10000 acres of land was filed
on by night and the filing has been
going on steadily through the week.
The greater part Of the land will be
sold out by the close of the week. The
first filings were made near Bliss, as it
has been reported that the company will
establish town there in the spring.
A large acreage Of the best land of the
entire segregation has not yet been
opened, the land north and west of
Bliss, that will take longer to reach
with the water.
No one from Shoshone or vicinity
was in on the early numbers.

G. w. Stoner received a letter last
week from brother in Appanoose
county Iowa in which was recited the
accounts of the severe weather pre-
vailing in that state this winter. Sew
eral of his neighbors had lost from
twenty to thirty head of stock each
from being frozen to death. and even
horses that were running out were
caught in the deep snow and frozen
dead. This must seem rather chilly
to the people of Lincoln county,
where the coolest weather registered
by the government thermometer was
only zero, but to those who have
lived in Iowa and other north central
states, it comedies with their own
experience in former years.

PROSECUTION.
PROSECUTION.

Editor Lo Sun, who runs the Chez
Bow Shin, is again in trouble with the
authorities, this time over
a publication appearing in the paper
regarding the assassination of Prince
Ito, which it is claimed is anarchistic.
1t is probable that deportation pro-
ceedings will be undertaken against
him, on the ground that he is an. anar-
chist. His editorial on the Ito as
sassination is said to have been worse
than the Korean circular already pub
lished, which commended the assassin.
The investigation of the Korean
case resulted in a decision that no
proceedings could be undertaken. The
author of the circular has been in the
country more than three years, and
under the law deportation proceedings
in such a case cannot be maintained
against person who has been in the
country three years.
Lo Sun, however, is a more recent
arrival, and the matter of his editorial

his father and had many times de-
clared that he would kill himself,
sometimes seizing a knife and threat
ening to rip his abdomen.
Yesterday his baby sisters body was
buried and, following the obsequies,
there was quite gathering at the Ka-
luna home, there being neighbors
there to condole with the stricken
family. Incidentally no one having
eaten while the small body was await
ing interment, everybody afterward
partook of food and some drink, the
latter being chiefly what is termed
dago-red.
The youth drank with the rest, but
whether he was drunk or not seems
to be somewhat questioned and it is
even suggested that his leaving the
house and lying on the railway track
was more a matter of trying to scare
the family than any intent to commit
suicide for it is doubtful if Kane knew
there were to be any more trains over
the line that night. 1t is thought
possible, that Kane fell asleep under
the influence Of the intoxicant. He
appears to have carefully spread his
oil coat on the track the head of the
coat, as afterwards found, seeming to
muIcate that he used one rail as pill
low. Inasmuch as he had always fol-
lowed a quarrel with his father by a
threat to kill himself, the first con-
clusion would be that he had on this
occasion fully intended to carry out
his threat, and yet there is nothing to
disprove the idea of his having ex-
pected people from the house to foi-
low him and behold him doing a scare
stunt on the track. A partially drunk
en- man will fall to sleep very sudden
ly once in reclining position, say the
police, and, while it makes no diff
ference whether the young man intend
ed suicide or was trying to frighten
the folks with whom he had been quar-
relling. the possibility Of his not haV-

utterances has been taken up by the
authorities. Lo Sun was before the
same authorities a little over a year
ago, when deportation proceedings
were begun against him on the ground
that he had fraudulently obtained ad-
mission to the country. He came in
as teacher, and almost at once left
his employment and became an editor
He won out on ruling that an editor
is a teacher.
He will now have to stand another
deportation proceedings on the
ground that he is an anarchist. His
paper of last Wednesday, following the
Ito assassination, contained an edito-
rial which it stated to have lauded the
assassin as a patriot and declared that
Ito got what he deserved.
1t is claimed that anyone who stands
for this sort of doctrine is an anar-
chist, and on that showing Lo Sun,
baving been in the country less than
three years, may be deported back to
China.

1t is known that Gumbs, relative
to the case wherein a Spaniard is
