HEAVY SENTENCE

Last Thursday R. ]. Mcguire, sick
and penitent, appeared before Judge
Stevens in the District Court, and
humbly plead guilty to the unlawful
sale of liquor in his Shelley drug
store. In addition to receiving a
severe rebuke he was the recipient
Of fine of $500 and six months in
the county bastile, but owing to his
emaciated physical condition the jail
sentence was suspended on his pro-
mise to sell no more of the forbidden
liquid, allow the sheriff free access
to his place of business, and sell out
and leave the town as soon as pos
sible.
Last Friday Lawrence Hawkins, who
was convicted of an attempted rape
on his little six-year-old cousin, was
sentenced to the penitertiary to a
term of from to IA years. The first
jury that tried the case disagreed,
but when the second one was apprised
of the fact that the accused had a
sexual disease which he had COM
municated to the little child, the Sc
cond once was unanimous in their
verdict Of guilty, and even his faith
full father condemned him.
R. M. Beasley, who burglarized Leo
Henish's saddlery and stole a saddle
and other goods which he took to
Pocatello, was sentenced to the peni.
tentiary for a term of from / to Is
years. His pal, Ben Valley, who
was not as guilty as he. was convicted
Of petit larceny and committed to the
custody Of the Sheriff for six months.

HORSE STOLEN By LUNATuc

H. R. Boice, shed foreman at the
sugar factory, had horse taken from
his stable last Tuesday, November 1S.
about 1880 O'Clock. Mr.. Boice had
just returned home from labor and
went in the house for supper leaving
his saddle horse tied in the barn,
but on his return. to -feed tho horse
for night, he found that the door
had been opened and the horse taken
out. Mr.. Boice notified the officers
Immediately and they proceeded to
dispatch messages to all officers in
the surrounding country to be on
the look out for stolen horse.
1t was later found out that Joe
Thompson, lunatic, who had re-
Gently escaped from the asylum, had
taken the horse. He made for Poca-
tello but lost the road and was forced
to spend day with the farmers this
side of Pocatello. Thursday he was
located by the officers Of that city,
who sent word to the sheriff
in this city that they had found
horse answering the description
given them. Mr.. Boice and Deputy
Fackrell Immediately went down, and
the horse proved to be the missing
one, was returned to its owner, while
the lunatic was taken back to the
mental hospital.
The asylum authorities did not no
tify the sheriff and his deputies of the
escape and they naturally thought the
theft was committed by horse thieves.

AUTO ACCIDENT

A. o. Belville, wife and three child
rem, accompanied by Claud Towles OF
the Idaho Lumber Company, were
auto riding Sunday afternoon when
one Of the occupants remarked that
they had travelled over 5000 miles this
summer without an accident. A short
time afterward Mr.. Belville, seeing a
dog in the road, stated to his fellow
passengers that he was going to hit
1t, and turned the car too quickly,
causing it to overturn, throwing Mrs.
Belville and the children completely
out. Mrs. Belville was not seriously
injured with the exception Of being
badly bruised and shaken up. The
Towles child which was but an in
FAINT, struck its head on the car
which resulted in fractured skull,
but due to the prompt action of DR.,
Patrie, will not result serious. Mr..
Towles, who was also thrown from
the car, as he fell struck his leg,
bruisfng It very badly and win be con-
fined to his home for some time.
The accident occurred just this side
of the sugar factory, and is the third
accident that has happened near the
same spot within the last two months.
The automobile was not damaged to
any extent and Mr.. and Mrs Jensen,
who were driving to town in sur
rey, picked the injured people up and
brought them in to town.

This, in substance, is the opinion of
the Club of Commerce directors, in
whom rests the power to release the
notes given by local citizens for a

The notes have not actually been

the notes have been placed in escow,
as it were, and will be released to the

released and the first half subject to
collections within few days.
Meetings Of the directors of the
club and the special committee, to-
gether with the railroad people were

| know women who are helping to
pay for the farm by selling butter and

her husband to build better house
than he had intended and said that if
he would put in windmill, bathroom,

asked the dairyman from the State De-
partment of Agriculture to go to her,
tell her what was the matter with her
dairy and her knowledge of butter
making, and today she gets the high
est market price for her products. She
sells butter, cheese and buttermilk.
She has sausage put up in little oil

are clean, large and uniform. She has
one breed of hens and for the same
reason the poultry she takes to town
