ARE FROM ALL ACCOUNTS
A BAD BUNCH OF BURGLARS

The authorities here are In posses
sion OF information that show James
McNulia. James Wilson and James
Graham, who were arrested at Flor
ence last week for the robbery of Ei-
lis & Hoods hardware store here on
the night OF the 27th uit-. to be bad
trio OF burglars McNulta was con-
victed of burglary and robbery in Ne
yada and in 1908 was sentenced to
term Of twenty years in the peniten-
tiary at Carson City in that state. He
served nine years of his sentence and
Was released on parole In December
Of last year. 49,
Mcxuita's parents live near Fruits.

Wilson also served a term in the
Nevada state penitentiary for bur-
giary He was received ut that insti-
tuition in 1907 and while there made
the acquaintance Of NcNuita He was
released after having served ffteen
months of an eighteen months sent
ence and is regarded as profession
al burglar. Wilson was arrested at
Farmington, Utah. a few months ago
for robbery and held in Jail there for
some time. A couple OF other men
were associated with Wilson In the
Utah robbery but he was released
from custody on turning states evil
dence and fastening the crime on his
companions Wilson Is very reticent
upon the subject OF his history, which
seems TO be very unsavory. Hesays he
was born in Wisconsin. but declines
to divuige very much of his sube-
quent career.
James Graham. the youngest Of the
trio. says he was born at Spokane.
Washington. but the authorities have
not been able to verify his statements
on that subject. He is a bright young
fellow and as cunning as he Is smart.
He is suspected of taking part in a
number ofshady transactions In which
burglary seems to figure very promI-
nentiy.

afternoon. Thomas shot and killed
Paul Poaheno, saloon keeper at
Williamsburg. the night of the thir-
teenth of January OF the current year
and the following day surrendered
himself at Florence to the authorities.
The case created much interest in the
coal camps of the county on account
of the prominence OF Poalieno among
his countrymen and the shooting re-
suited in bitter feeling against the
colored men in Williamsburg and vi
cinlty. Thomas was taken to the PEN

Appropriation Ordinance Read.
The annual appropriation ordin-
ance was adopted on first reading
without dissent. 1t sets aside the suri
OF $4,000 from the public revenues
for municipal expenses during the
fiscal year ending April first, 1913,
which is $500 less than the amount
appropriated twelve months ago. 1t is
based upon a tax levy of the previous
year. The finances Of the city are re-
ported to be in better condition ST
present than they have been for a
long period and 1t is the ambition Of
the council to reduce the tax levy
next time to twenty mills Not since
1904 has the tax levy for municipal
purposes been as low as twenty mills.
The street. alley and bridge fund
OF the city council contains one
thousand dollars more under the
present budget than IT did twelve
months ago.

the Y. NJ C. A. program dove-tail to-
getber splendidly SO that throughout
the world many Y NJ. C. AS are in
eiuding scout-craft in their program.
1t Is really religious thing TO do

there have been "war Scouts" but
this movement is an entirely different
one. as Gen. Baden-Powell indicated
In his remarks the other day: there
have been peace" scouts in all ages
men who have gone out on new and
strange adventures and through their
work have benefited the people OF
the earth. Thus Columbus discovered
America: the Pilgrims founded New
England; the early settlers colonized
Jamesfo~n and the Dutch built mp

scotch-frish pmhed west and made
home for American people beyond
the Alleghanies and the Rockies
These peace scouts had to be as we'll

to know scout-craft- They had to
know how to live in the woods. and 10

S A Scout is courteous.
A Scout is kind.

l2 A Scout is reverent.
He is reverent toward God. He is
faithful in his religious duties and re-
spects the convictions of others in
the matters OF custom and religion.
The Scout Oath
Before he becomes Scout. boy

On my honor l will do my best:
To do my duty to God and my
Country. and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all
times:
To keep myself physically

EXPRESS RATES ON
CANNERY BERRIES
Public Utilities Commission Makes
Ruling in Favor of the
Industry

The public utilities commission has
notified the railroads that they may
cut express rates on berries shipped to
the canneries within 100 miles of
where the fruit is grown, and advises
that such action be taken during the
berry season in order to expedite the
shipment of the fruit, if possible.
The notifications We're sent by the
commission after a conference with
several of the states prominent berry
growers who appeared and asked that
the rates be lowered during the heavy
season, stating that such action is alb
solutely necessary in order that fr1it
may be canned before it has time to
spoil.
The communication to the railroads
is of an advisory nature and says the
reduced rates should be made in a
way not to conflict with the regular
tariff.
I'VE hope YOU will do this, as it will
be an incentive to the berry raising
industry in the state" says the letter
in conclusion.
