New York, Nov. 3.-The wholesale

a pound as a result. u !
On the other hand, the higher class
butchers at the market said that beef
was scarcer than ever before and
prices higher. Poultry is lower than
at any time since 1907, a situation

WHERE ARE THE
WHITN-Y BROS?

A rumor gained currei cy last
Wleeek that the Whitney bandits
were scheduled to be IN okeville
last Thursday night, and that there
were just four men they wanted to
get, regardless Of what happened to
them. The word was received in a
manner which caused alarm. Sheriff
" ard who was in Kemmerer, went
up there to spend the night, but the
bandits did not put in an appearance,
altho good guard was kept on
watch.
1t is certainly deplorable condi-
tion of affairs, when outlawry can
be practiced in Uinta county, with
the boldness which is being shown,
and nothing done TO restore the con-
fidence of the citizens in the safety
of their homes. The men 10 ques-
tion are desperate characters, with
rewards on their bodies, dead or
alive, and it is not generally thought
that they are anywhere in these
mountains.
However, reports are regularly
gaming currency of their nearby
presence, and it appears thai our
officers might do a most gracious
act if they would begin running
down some Of these ''rumOrs" in
getting at the bottom, or closer to
the culprits, and should they find
no foundation, make few examples
of those who are responsible for
stories which rebound to the alarm
of the communities. -kemmerei

A TREAT FOR LOVERS
OF BEAUTIFUL MUSIC

To all lovers of beautiful music we
highly recommend the entertainment
to be given by The Royal Hand Bell
Ringers and Concert Party with their
melodious bells, ranging in weight
from two ounces TO ten pounds.
They execute concerted music of
every class with such correctness and
ensemble as to have evoked warm
enconiums from many musical
authorities, and also from the press.
Their music is SO far superior to
ordinary bell music as to be in a class
by itself The technical skill of the
performers is remarkable. Their
work is revelation as to what can
be done in bell ringing.
As to their singing much eau be
said in it's praise. The voices are
very we'll trained ann beautifully
modulated, delighting all lovers of
sweet singing.
The songs with pell accompani-
ments are very good, while the
Double Quartette E. consists of eight
splendidly balanced voices whose
repertoire comprises the best type ot

The surprise caused by Mr. Rob-
nett's plea of guilty, was evidently
mild as compared to the surprise
created when the unexpected mes
sage was received at Moscow the
next day, announcing that president
Taft had granted complete par
don to Mr.. Robnett.
The action of the president was
not only surprise but it created
great Indignation among many of
those who were acquainted with the
facts in the bank looting case. Gov
ernor Hawley issued q lenghtyP Q
statementin which he demands an ID
investigation of the affair by Ida N

roundly condemns the action of.
President Taft for hastily pardon
ing Mr.. Robnett.

has long been customary to pardon US

however, in this case ia that MIR.

new SCHEDULE
ON PARIS BRANCH

The change III the tram service
on the Paris branch, which was re-
nently asked for by the Montpelier
Commercial Club, was inaugurated
last Sunday and the tram now
makes two round trips daily between
Montpelier and Paris.
While the resolutions adopted by
the Commercial Club, asking for a
change, may have had something to
do in bringing it about, yet we
imagine that the cold wave which
struck this section last Sunday, was
the most potent factor which caused
the company ia make sudden
change in the schedule. The ping
pong's engine froze up at Paris last
Saturday night and one of the switch
engines was sent from here Sunday
morning to pull the train over from
Paris. THIS experience convinced
the officials that a locomotive can't
stand out over nightin the cold and
then do the work required of it,
Under the present schedule the
ping pong leaves Montpelier for
Paris at a. m. and returning at
s:45, leaves for McCammon at the
usual time, $3.50. The train arrives
from Paris in the evening at abonL
o'clock.
People from Montpelier and
vicinity who have business al Paris
and do not wish to make the drive
IN the cold weather, can now go
over on the morning train and return
the same evening. Paris people can
also come to Montpelier in the even,
ing, attend a theatre, dance and
other social or business functions,
and retun home early the next
morning.
| We believe the change will bt
appreciated by the citizens on botI
sides of the valley.
