MEXICANS ARRESTED
Bannock Officials Believe They
Have Murderer.

Bingham county officers believe they
now have the Mexican who shot the
marshal of Shelley a few weeks ago.
Two individuals were caught In Salt
Lake some ten days ago. and one of
them admitted that he was with the
other two Mexicans when the officer
was shot from his horse but that he
did not do the shooting.
Later Mexican was caught at Al
bion, and yesterday Deputy Sheriff
Fackrell Of Blackfoot went through
here with his prisoner, and this Mexi-
can is believed to be the man who did
the shooting. One other Mexican in
the Bingham Jail states that the gun
belonged to him and that he handed
1t to one Of his partners when the
shooting commenced.
With the information in possession
of the officers they believe that the
murderer will be found among the
three men.

FARMERS INSTITUTE
Meeting of One Week to Be Held
In Richfield.

Prof o. D. Center, ofBoise. head of
the bureau of agriculture extention
for the University of Idaho, announces
that his department will hold farm
ers' institute in Richfield. the third
week in January. This will be for the
whole week, and will cover all the
farm features that may be asked for
by the community. 1t will be sure
enough short college course in better
agriculture, that every farmer on the
tract should attend The speakers
experts are sent out it is assured in
advance that 1t will be authoritative
presentation of farming that pays.
Prof Center is most acceptably fill
ling the place left vacant by Prof
Olin, who went as agricultural agent
for the Denver & Rio Grande railroad
at high salary. He has contagious
way Of making people feel at home,
and Of telling them what they want to
know in the way they want to hear It,
His selection was a happy one, and
for the great good of the state. 1t
is to be hoped that the coming legisla-
ture will give the department suffi-
cient funds to carry on the work as
it should be done. So much work and
time is wasted through not knowing
just how to start the new farm, that
the state is paying millions of dollars
penalty every year for this very lack
of knowledge that the department is
trying to take to the people.
1t is hardly necessary to urge full
attendance on the institute at Rich
field, as this has always been one of
the best towns in the state to attend |
all such gatherings. But still. It's
worth while to know it in time, so as
to plan your work and have all the
time to attend.

YANKEE INVENTIONS
Yankees Are Responsible For
Modern War Implements

The European conflict would have
assumed an entirely different char
acter, and might already have been
ended by a decisive defeat except for
a certain experiment which was made
just eleven years ago December IT,
1903. on the barren Kill Devil sand
hills near Kitty Hawk. N. c. There a
couple of "crazy Yankees" Orville and
O., clergyman, tested a contraption
consisting of wings, rudder, little
gasoline motor and twin propellers.
The precious pair of young fools -ac-
tually expected this machine, weigh
ing 200 pounds, to carry one of them
through the air. Funny thing about
it, it did Four successful flights
were made on that historic day at
Kitty Hawk. The aeroplane-for that
was what those crazy Wright boys"
called their contraption-rose in the
air and travelled distance of 285 feet,
carrying one of the inventors with It.
this being the first invention in histo-
ry where a person has been carried
from the ground in actual flight by
mechanical means without artificial
aids"
While the aeroplane has not in IT.

tion to any marked degree. 1t has en-
tirely changed the character of war
fare. Aeroplane scouts are able to
keep so close a watch on the move

almost impossible. and without sur
prises. decisive victories over foe
at all equal in numbers and general
ship become almost impossible.
The heavier than-air flying machine
is not the only Yankee notion" which
is playing big part in the present
war. The Wright brothers, who in
vented the flying machine in the in
tervals between their regular job OF re-
pairing bicycles. have had many pre-
decessors. There was Richard J.
Gatling, a native of North Carolina
who invented a machine for spewing
out bullets and the improved descend

sponsible for thousands Of widows and
orphans. This year marks the centen-
ary of the construction of the first

was Fulton. an American, who thus
