was announced here today that the
Great Northern railroad company
will exert every possible effort to
bring about the apprehension, and
conviction of the highwaymen who
robbed its train between Colbert and
Mead in this state Saturday night. 1t
is believed that the robberies have
been conducted by a we'll organized
gang as the Nothern Pacific trains
have been repeatedly robbed in the
last IA months, and the Great North
ern is determined to put an end to
the gang, and to that end has placed
a large force of detectives to work on
the case. 1t is believed that the

the Great Northern train, is hidden
near the scene Of the robbery, and

relation to the robbery Of the Great
Northern train II miles from this
city Saturday evening. The police
are inclined to think that the men
who robbed the Northern Pacific
train near Hauser Junction about
three weeks ago and also robbed a
train OF the same road about a year
ago near Rathdrum are the same men
that robbed the Great Northern train.
Should 1t prove true that they are
the same men or a part of the same
gang the total amount which will be
paid for their capture by the govern
ment and the two railroads will be
$4,000.
The postal authorities say that the
robbers secured but little money.

GRADUTING CLASS
HEAR ADDRESS
Rev. Station Delivers Baccalau-
reate SePmon- Interesting
Program Of Music.

The baccalaureate address to the
graduating class of the high school
was delivered at the Presbyterian
church last evening by the the pastor.
Rev. Edward J. Station. The event
had been eagerly looked forward to
by the friends and relatives Of the
members of the class, and the build
ing was crowded by people who we're
there to listen to the address. The
church was beautifully decorated for
the occasion. The altar was banked
with flowers, and the interior of the
building decorated with the class col
ors, the blue and gold, and the class
motto.
The address of Rev. Station was ell
oquent and forceful, and dealt with
the purposes and benefits of educa-
ton. He took the position that the
real and true purpose of education
was the equipment Of men and wo-
men SO that they would be enabled
to live a life, and perform a work
that would be for the betterment of
the human race. He contended that
whenever an education was used sole
ly for the purpose of securing high
place in the world, and the advance
ment of the selfish interests of tho
individuals that it was not only a fail
ure so far as society was concerned,
but also as to the individual, and that
1t was crowned with success only
when all selfishness was eliminated
and dedicated to the cause of the gen.
eral good of mankind.
An excellent program of music
had been prepared for the occasion
and it was immensely enjoyed by all
in attendance. A solo was rendered
by Mrs. o. o. Young, accompanied by
Miss Young and Mr.. Fahringer, and
selections were rendered by a quar-
tett composed of Mrs. Young, Mrs
Jones, Mr.. Bigelow and Mr.. Hahn.
