]. H Coulter. of this city, who owned
the Goa CHI and-four entered by Davie at
the New York horse show, said tonight:
II didn't lose much through him: ! don t
care TO say how much. I had never seen
him before the day we made the arrange
ments for the coaching race, and have not
seen him since
The police are inclined to the belief that
Robert L. Davie is now in Mexico. The
last seen of him. according to B. B. Coyne
q lawyer with offices at No 90 Broadway,
was during the horse show, when. the
lawyer says, under the name Ayrshire
Stud Farm he exhibited a mare which
he had exchanged for an automobile.
According to Mr.. Coyne, Davie tried re-
peatedIy to sell the automobile which he
had secured by paying One-third of its
value. The price he asked for it was so low
that persons to whom he offered to sell
grew suspicious and called up the makers
The police say that early last month
Davie appeared at the stables of the Flor
ham Stud Farm, No. 212 West 50th street,
and offered checks drawn on a Tennessee
bank which were returned as worthless, in
payment for two show horses which he
failed to get. A week later he drove up in
the car and offered it in trade for Ayrshire
Queen. i valuable mare, which he is said
TO have exhibited during the show. Davie
brought Harry Coulter. professional
driver from Boston, while the show was
on, and had the whip drive for him in the
coach and four class against Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt. He won second prize
The automobile was returned yesterday to
Mr.. Coyne's client, George R Bascon, Of
Boston, from whom it was obtained by the
missing man. It was through persons who
know Davie that Central Office detectives
heard during the horse show that the fugi-
tive had gone 10 Mexico.

The mail service between
the Thomas Fork country
and Montpelier is simply
rotten. It frequently hap
pens that letters mailed at
Geneva Is miles from Mont.
pelier, are three and four days
reaching this point. Whose
fault this is, we are unable to
say, but we think it is time
that some effort was being
made to improve this service.
FInstead of the mail being car
rled to Border then here by
rail, there should be a direct
mail route from Montpelier to
those points, with at least a
Rtri-weekly service. If Mont.
Ipelier only had a commercial
club or some other organized
body, to take this matter up
lit is possible that a better
mail service might be estab-
lished.

The Montpelier commercial
club died just at the time
when there was plenty Of
work for it to do. The valley
surrounding Montpelier is
capable of supporting at least
1000 more families and people
in the east are still eagerly
seeking new homes in the
west. These facts alone af-
ford a golden opportunity for
an organized body of Mont
pelier's business men to do
some missionary work. All
that Bear Lake valley needs
to make it one Of the very best
and richest valleys in this
great inter~motntian region
is proper advertising. East
ern people are paying fabul-
Gus prices today for farm
lands in the Snake river val
ley that are no more produc-
tive than is the lsnd in this
beautiful valley Of ours. But
eastern people are not stop
ping here. Why? Simply
because they know nothing
of this section and because
no effort has ever been made
to get stop-over privileges at
Montpelier on the home-seek-
ers' tickets ..s
Many of the towns in South
ern Idaho which are growing
rayldly today have no where
near the natural advantages
that Montpelier has. These
towns are growing, however,
because. the business men and
citizens generally are boost
ing for them and sesd;Sg
broadcast litey<ture telling
about tbees :,Astry and what it
Nin produce. An increase of
1000 families in the country
tributary to Montpelier would
mean more business for every
merchant, not only in Mont
pelier but in Paris and the
other settlements in the val
ley. More butter, more hay,
more grain, more potatoes,
more eggs, more vegetables
and more fruit should be pro-
duced in this valley every
year and there are people
ready to come here and pro-
duce these products if thsy
but knew the opportunity
was open to therl. Let's get
busy and Invite them to come.

THREE MEN ROB

Pittsburg, Kan. February 5.-Three un-
identified men held up and robbed the
passengers on an eastbound Missouri Pa

About $500 and small amount of jewelry
was taken from the passengers.
The robbers boarded the train on the
outskirts of Pittsburg. They took seats
in the chair car and rode quietly along
until the train was near Cornell, Kan.
There they leaped from their seats,
backed Conductor Garrity into a corner,
and drawing revolvers, warned him not
to call for assistance. One of the robbers
then covered the passengers with two
large revolvers

and the robbers took the valuables. Pas
