c. w. Day of Scranton, Penn.
was a visitor in Wendell Monday
He said he had heard of this coun-
try but was more than surprised to
see the great development of the
new country and to learn of our
fine hotel service. He said that a
$50, 900 hotel, like the Wendell Inn,
was a credit to a town of 10000
population. Mr.. Day gave his adj
dress to a real estate firm and asked
them to send him literature and
photographs of the different scener-
les, as Thousand Springs, Niagara
Springs, Blue Lakes, and Salmon
and Shoshone Falls. The wonder
full growth of this great country is
something for us to talk about, says
Mr.. Day. I'm be back this way
and bring others with me-" he in
formed the land dealer.

A Band of Thieves.

During the last few weeks there
has been an unusually large num-
Der of robberies throughout southern
Idaho. Apparently there is an or
ganized band of house breakers OPP
Grating in this territory. The trail
of crime began in Utah about two
months ago and has gradually been
coming north and west. Pocatellc
was visited about two weeks age
and shortly after that the American
Falls postoffice was robbed. Their
Minindoka was visited and last
Thursday night the hardware stor,
in Gooding was broken into anC
robbed. Monday night of this
week Redmond's hardware store il
Shoshone was robbed of some gum
and ammunition and 75c in money
Friday about a dozen hobos wer,
rounded up and jailed at Shoshone
but this does not seem to hav,
stopped the depredations.

Murder and Suicide.

This community was startled last
Sunday by the news that Michael
Grinnell of Wendell had attempted
double murder and then committed
suicide near Shoshone. Grinnell
ate breakfast with some other Wen
dell people Saturday morning at
Lessley's cafe and seemed to be in
good spirits at that time. A man
by the name of Weatherby and a
well known Mrs. Snider came from
Twin Falls last Friday and were
stopping at the McFall hotel. 1t is
reported that the couple had secured
employment at ranch out north
east of Shoshone and were starting
out to go to work Saturday morn
ing. 1t is known that Grinnell had
been infatuated with the Snider
woman for some time and has fol-
lowed her about the country. They
were at Shoshone together last fall
and when Mrs. Snider went to Twin
Falls, Grinnell followed her to that
place and just lately returned to
Wendell from that place. 1t seems
that he was in correspondence with
Mrs. Snider all the time and that
he got telegram shortly before the
tragedy occurred. Grinnell pur-
chased Il revolver ut Redmond 5
hardware store Saturday morning
short time before the shooting
The shooting took place about one
half mile northeast of Shoshone,
out along the Ketchum branch.
Grinnell met the couple and deliber-
ately opened fire upon Weatherby
without word of warming. A
soon as his revolver magazine was
empty he reloaded it and opened
fire ON the woman, and as she fell
he placed the gun to his own lefr
temple and fired. Grinnell dice
Immediately but Mrs. Snider anC
Weatherby are still living at thi'
writing and are being taken care o
at the Boise hospital. 1t is believed
that there is no chance for Wealth
erby to pull through but that Mrs
Snider will recover.
Michael Grinnell had a good rep
utation at Wendell and had mad
lots of friends. He was hare
worker and steady. No reason i
known for the crime except jeal
ousy. His body was buried a
Shoshone Sunday.

School Entertainment.

A musical program was given
Friday night of last week by
pupils of the school. All the diff
ferent grades took part and an ex-
cellent program was rendered. The
musical work of the school has been
under the direction of Mr.. Coolidge
this term and the people of Wendell
are to be congratulated on being
able to secure such services as his. A
large crowd was out to the enter
tainment and all went away salts
fled with the progress that has been
made along musical lines in the
school.

ABUNDANT SUPPLY OF WATER

Don II. Bark, in charge of irriga-
ton work for the government IN
Idaho, has been investigating
the conditions in the mountains,
from which source our water supply
is derived, and his report is summed
up as follows:
THE winters SHOWS were not re.
markedly deep" said Mr.. Bark
yesterday, but the cool weather
has had the effect of keeping then
on the ground for longer time
than in past years. The same con
ditions prevail in every part Of thu
state and the outlook is that ther'
will be more water in the state thi
year than for any season past. "

It's puzzling the farmers south of
town as to who is the road overseer,
as the coulee II miles south could
be greatly improved by an hour or
two's work, so the bridge could be
crossed without any trouble. But
the fault lays between Leland and
Tiss, and Overseer Tiss says it's no
trouble of his.
