HOLLANDfRS MAY COME.
Thrifty Dutchmen Looking Toward
Colonization.

When leaving Twin Falls for the
Waters was handed a letter by Mr..
Spangler from the leader of the Hol-
land Dutch element of Denver, stating
that he was in search of suitable To-
cation to establish a large colony of
Hollanders, and wishing to know of a
possible opening in or around the Twin
Falls country Mr.. Waters called on
the gentleman and planned a meeting
to be held at his rooms in the St.
James hotel, which was attended by
several representative Hollanders, and
J. R. Conway and Alex McPher-
son. Mr.. Conway told of the wonder
full results achieved in the fruit busi-
ness, illustrating his personal success
with pictures of his 60-acre orchard
and display of apples at the fair, offer
ing substantial evidence in the shape
of big red apples.
Mr.. Waters elaborated on the sue
cess of dairying, beet raising, general
farming, grazing resources, electric
power supply, and numerous other
truths about the Twin Falls country
and surrounding projects in successful
operation, or in course of development,
until the sturdy Dutchmen became
open to them. It is confidentallv ex-
pected that a large number of these
thrifty people may form a colony in
some part of this section where large
body of land may be secured

KIMBERLY VISITED
BY SAFE BLOWERS
POStOffiCe Safe Wrecked by
NItrogIyCerine.
SEVENTY DOLLARS IN MONEY
TAKEN BY YEGGS.
Door OF Safe Blown From Hinges
Noise OF the Explosion Wakens
Citizens.

The post office at Kimberly was en-
| tered in the early hours of last Satur-
day morning by burglars and the safe
blown open, the yeggs getting away
with more than $1,000 of Uncle Sans
cash.
Ihe yeggs made their entrance into
the building by cutting out a panel of
the 'front.' door and there is no doubt
but they are old hands at the business
by the professional way in which they
went about their work. When once
inside of the building they proceeded
TO blow open the safe by the use of
nltro-gylcerine, the explosion breaking
the door off the hinges and doing
considerable damage to the building.
They then helped themselves to what
cash there was in sight but did not
bother the stamps or other govern
ment property.
The sheriff's office was notified and
Sheriff Vanausdeln and deputies pro-
ceeded to at once get busy and as a
result three suspects were arrested in
this city and are now being held in
the county Jail and more arrests are
likely to follow soon There is no
doubt in the minds of the officials that
the work was done by band of pro-
fessional safe blowers who are travel
| ing through this part of southern
Idaho, as considerable of this kind of
work has been done along the main
line of the Oregon Short Line in the
last few weeks.
The cafe which was blown open was
new one and had just been installed
In the office at Kimberly a few days
before.
Several citizens of Kimberly are
said to have heard the explosion which
wrecked the safe, but did not venture
out to investigate. From the quantity
OF nitro glycerine used it would indi-
cate that the yeggs were pretty daring
and rather courted trouble.

SPUDS PROFITABLE.
Fred l.. Brown of Carey, Well Pleased
With Spud Raising in Idaho.

Fred L. Brown, one of the prosper
GUS ranchers of Carey, drove to HALEY
from his ranch yesterday and will
spend couple CT days in town on
business. Mr.. Brown came to Carey a
couple of years ago from the vicinity
of Idaho Falls, where he was engaged
for several years in raising fancy
sDuds and thoroughbred hogs. He says
that before he engaged in the cultiya-
ton of potatoes to any extent he took
a trip to Greeley, Colo, and studied
the methods there. He is convinced
that with the same methods of cultiva-
tion this section will exceed any of the
famed sections of Idaho in the produc
ton of potatoes and that he has DEM
onstrated that on his own ranch near
Carey He is at loss to understand
why more hogs are. not raised since
the conditions are very favorable. He
has nice lot of thoroughbred Poland
Chinas and has just received a stock
pig from Illinois.-Hailey News-Miner.

ACCUSED BY GOVERNMENT.
Greek Labor Contractor Said to be
Guilty of Pe0nage.

Charging peonage, County Attorney
Robert M. Terrell of Bannock county,
is preparing a complaint against Will
liam Carvalis, the wellknown Greek
labor contractor of this city Evidence
in the case has been placed in the
county attorneys hands by Former
Governor w. J. Mcconnell, a special
immigration inspector attached to the
department of commerce and labor. 1t
is understood that several subordinate
officials of the Oregon Short Line rail-
road will also be complained against
on general conspiracy charge. Idaho
has no statute covering a charge of
peonage, but it is thought by the i'm
migration inspector that it will be pos
sible to secure a conviction under the
general conspiracy statute
Governor Mcconnell within the past
year has visited Pocatello a number
Of times and in a quiet way is said to
have secured signatures to a number
of affidavits by Greek laborers, whom
Mr.. Mcconnell says charge Carvalis
with compelling them to pay $40 for
obtaining them employment and con-
tracing 81 per month out of their
wages for retaining their jobs.-Poca-

Johnson Meets Sad Death.

A most pitiable fatality occurred
four miles west of Bull yesterday
when the ten-months-old baby of Mr..
and Mrs F. G. Johnson received burns
which resulted in it's death in less
than an hour. 1t seems that Mrs.
Johnson had left the baby in it's high
chair while she stepped to the barn for
a few moments. When she returned
all the clothing was burned from its
body. Frank Cludas brought it to DR..
Murphy's office but it was past medi-
cal aid and died within an hour The
body is now at the Evans & Johnson
undertaking parlors. Mr.. Johnson
who is in Seattle, has been telegraphed
for. The bereaved parents have the
sympathy of the entire community in
their hour of sorrow.-Buhl Herald.

Mcnamara pleaded guilty to murder in

his brother, John j. Mcnamara to

been brought about through the agency
OF committee of influential citizens,
and members of faction which Is de-
nouncing the move itself, agreed to-
night heartily that the result was ac-
complished In this way. This fact
turned OUT to be part OF the grievance
on the ground that no representative

shooting affair took place at Hansen
Saturday night between the hours of
eleven and twelve o'clock when M. B,
| Provost, cashier of the Hansen State
bank shot and wounded what he
thought was man who was trying to

| day evening by someone trying to get
into the back door of the bank. He
came out and seeing a man looking
through the window with both hands
up to his face as if he was trying to
see IT any one was in the building.
He went to his room and secured
his 22-rifle, the only weapon he had in
the house, and the man still being
there he fired the bullet striking the
man in the back of the head and rang
ing downward. AS soon as he had

head.
The wounded man was Immediately
taken care of and it was discovered
that his name was Swain and he lived
on the Salmon River tract where he
has farm and has resided for some

not know what he was doing or where
he was. Swain was brought to the
Twin Falls hospital early Sunday
morning, where he is resting we'll with
every indication that he will fully re-
| cover.
