On Sunday at about noon or a
little after, Joseph Coumerilh rang
Sheriff Jones and told him a man and
girl on horse back had just passed
his residence going south on North
University street and turned east.
Nj. Coumerilh explained to the sheriff
that he did not know that it was
Mecham but he thought it was worth
investigating. Mr.. Jones and deputy
went out in the county car and fol-
lowed on the road past Bingham's
and leading toward T. H. Hodsons
until he overlook Mrs. Temp Hop
kins and her cousin, who were driv-
ing eastward. They informed him
that the party had ridden leisurely
along behind them and had taken
the Ft. Hall road about ten minutes
ago. Mr.. Jones wheeled about and
followed them some distance and
little later Thomas Lazier, the chief
of Indian police at Ft. Hall received
a phone call from the sheriff, asking
him to cross over the summit to the
TT, Hall road on Lincoln creek and
intercept Mecham and the girl. Mr..
Lazier suggested that Jones attend
to it as it was his case and he was
closer to them than he, Lazier, was
it being about ten miles across the
divide.
On Monday afternoon George Wal
burn, who operates the Walburn
Rooming house on Bridge street, saw
the girl or one answering the descrip-
tion riding up the street.
There was Jail Delivery
On Tuesday evening when Sheriff
Jones went to lock the prisoners in
the cages at ten o'clock he found the
Jail empty except for the blood hound
which was kept in the large cell,
The two prisoners, William Mecham,
held for horse stealing, and L. o..
Houghton held on a burglary charge
had passed through two iron doors
into the sun bath and there were two
hars sawed off in the outer door
through which they had passed.
The blood hound was put on the
trail and he passed across the lawn
to the road on the west and lost the
scent.
William Mecham is brother to
Grover Mecham, who was out In
company with the girl and held up
Mr. Jones. None of the parties have
been seen since that evening.

SHERIFF JONES
IS HELD UP
A Man and Woman Ride all Around
Him-Jail Delivery Follows.

Last Friday Sheriff Jones had no
tice from Arco that man named
Mecham and some young woman,
who were supposed to hhve stolen
a saddle at Arco were due to arrive
at Blackfoot, and he was given full
descriptions and was asked to get
the saddle.
Mr.. Jones was driven out across
Snake river by Prof. S. d. Rice, can
didate for school superintendent, with
a single horse and buggy, and the
parties were resting beside the road
just north of w. l.. Hawley's place.
Mr.. Jones got out of the rig and after
examining the saddle, said he would
have to take possession of it. Jones
glanced back at the saddle again and
the next moment found himself look
ing into the muzzle of revolver.
Jones told Mecham he was foolish to
commit criminal act like that and
that it would probably get him into
trouble and he had better put up
his gun and surrender the saddle.
Then the girl also flashed gun and
commanded Jones to get into the rig
and get out of there. At the same
time she told Mr.. Rice to turn the
buggy around, and when Jones had
gotten in she told them to get for
town, and while still covering them
Mecham and the girl mounted their
steeds and rode out of their presence.
Mr.. Rice was also driving, and Jones
was getting very nervous. When
asked if he had no gun he said he
had an automatic in his pocket, but
that he would go to town and get
some help. Mr.. Rice suggested stop
ping at Snyders and telephoning.
Jones asked where Snyder lived, was
shown the place, and they went in.
Jones called up his office and asked
for a posse to come and capture a
bad bunch, and then he proceeded to
wait. Mr. Rice suggested that his
driving horse was a fine runner and
was at the sheriff's service if he
wanted mount, but he declined the
offer. Mr.. Rice then went to using
the telephone to talk to people up the
road, and found that they were pass
ing Palmer's, Merrills, Bergesons
and so on, headed for the lavas. After
a wait of 25 minutes the county
car and five men with some rifles ar
rived and Jones pursued them to the
edge of the lavas and then returned
to town. After dinner party Of

An advertisement by R. A. Palmer, candidate)
Just before the voting Billy
am thinking most of you;
While around the polls we're crowding
With the ballots all in view
Comrades brave around you signing,
Filled with thoughts of fear and dread
For we'll they know that on the morrow,
Bill for sheriff will be dead
Farewell Billy, you will never
Sit with ease in your old chair;
You'll have to pack your grip and beat it,
For someone else will sure be there
Hark, hear the voters shouting,
Shouting loud and fierce and strong,
But not for you dear Uncle Billy,
Go way back Bill where you belong.
Hark we hear the clerks calling,
Calling names off one by one,
And now we've got you, take it easy,
Palmer leads and you are done.
CHORUS
Farewell Billy, you may never
Board the hoboes once again,
But, Oh! we'll not forget you Billy,
When you're numbered with the slain.

The winter damage to the buds has
been caused by q peculiar general
condition throughout the country. A
very mild December and January
started the buds, which made them
susceptible to the later cold snaps.
The minimum temperature this win
ter on my farm was nine degrees be-
low zero. and only a few days Of zero
weather. This caused more injury to
the Elberta peach buds than the Sc.
we're winter two years ago when the
minimum temperature was seventeen
degrees below zero, and we had
nearly month Of weather varying in
temperature from minus five degrees
to minus seventeen degrees. That
winter the wood was severely injured.
This spring the wood appears to be
in excellent condition, and to all out
ward appearances the buds also.
