of the horses belonged to Mr.. Evans Of
Mountainhome, and part Of them to a
man named Adcock, who has leased the
ranch. Three different parties are sus-

One night last week it was dark and
threatning and thelowering clouds brush
ed old Florida mountains rugged brow
and all nature seemed bent on yielding
an ideal night for the tommyknockers to
hold forth their mountain revelries. The
most skeptical would not have dreamed
of anything at such momentous inter-
stice. Right at the entrance to the house,
as Spike" came off shift that night,
there was big black object. Not knowing
what it was and not daring to take any
chances, Spike hurriedly retraced and
went to the rear of the house and climbed
through the window Once inside, he
aroused his partner "BilP' Schumacher,
who was sound asleep and who had heard
nothing and together they started for the
object with full round Of ammunition
and with the rapidity Of machine,
emptied the contents Of their guns into it.
Upon examination it was found that the
victim proved to be harmless PORCU-

The school trustees association Of our
county have prepared splendid program
to be rendered at the school building
here on next Friday evening, and it is
to be hoped that all those who have
children attending our school here, and
all others who may be interested, will
make it point to attend. Our County
School Superintendent Mrs. Jennie Farrer
Avery, has worked hard, faithfully and
well in trying to secure on this program
the best talent obtainable and we are of
the opinion that she has been successful |
in SO doing, for on the program are men
toned such well known educators as:

State Normal school; Miss S. Belle
Chamberlain; Hon. Dow Dunning; Pres
ident Black of the Lewiston Normal
School; President Miles F. Reed, of the
Pocatello Academy; G. S. Meek, Super
intendent of city schools, Boise; Phi.

If there is one trait more than another
that is admired in human kind, that one
IS loyalty. If man is not loyal, he is
dangerous to a community, because you
never know when to trust him with any
hing. If he is loyal to his family, he
will be loyal to his friends and neighbors
md also to the town he lives in. It has
made us very weary at different times to
lear people knocking" the town in
which they are getting their livlihood.
This is all wrong. If you are not satis-
led with the town or the people, keep it
o yourself, or else seek another locality
hat will suit you better Always have a
rood word for the town you live in and
lever fail to sing its praises wherever you
ire, at home or abroad. Be a live booster
md never a knocker. BY giving good
word for your town you sometimes get
'ther people interested and they will visit
our community. Weshould always for
ret the shortcomings Of our friends, for
we have some ourselves. Speak
good word for your neighbor, for it
makes you feel better than saying bad
me. If the town is good enough to live
n, it is good enough to boost for.
