ARRESTED ON CHARGE
OF LARCENY
One Man and Two Women Taken
In Charge by
Sheriff

Mr.. and Mrs. Luke of Wilder and
Mrs. Flowers of this city were placed
under arrest Tuesday evening by Con-
stable Mech and Marshal Cy Wolfe
at the instance of Sheriff Breshears.
They are charged with larceny. A
warrant is out for the husband of Mrs.
Flowers upon the same charge.
The Flowers live on the White place
south of town on the Freezeout road.
Mr.. and Mrs. Luke were visitors at
the Flowers home when the arrest
was made and their presence here
was communicated by the sheriff,
who during their absence had search
ed their house at Wilder and found
cached large quantity of goods that
had been stolen from different sec
tions of the county. Both the Luke's
and Flowers's had been under suspic-
ion for sometime A few weeks ago
search warrant was sworn out by
John Whipple and Constable Mech
to search the Flowers house for set
of harness Whipple had taken from
his premises, but the articles were
not found. The officers believe that
the two parties were in partnership
in the petty robberies that have been
prevalent in Emmett and other parts
of the county and that the Luke place
at Wilder was "fence" for the stolen
goods. Evidence is very strong
against them, it is said. The thefts
in Emmett consisted of tools, harness,
canned goods, bedding, clothing, bicy
cles, chickens, ETC., and were made
generally at night. 1t is known that
Mr.. Flowers, who it is stated, never
owned fowl, had sold great many
of them to local dealers.
The prisoners were locked up until
Wednesday, Luke being kept in the
city Jail and the two men at the hotel,
when a deputy sheriff took them to
Caldwell. Tracers are out for Flow
ers and his arrest is expected in a
few days.

Two RunaMaYS

There were two runaways in town
this week. The first occurred Tues
day at noon. While Grace EXum was
untying the family horse at the Odd
Fellows hitch racks, it jerked away
and ran pell-nell down Hayes street
with Grace's younger sister, Mar
garet, in the buggy. The young lady
bravely stuck to her post, though
having hold of only one line. The
horse ran to Fourth street, then turn
ed east, but was stopped by Bertha
Hall, young girl, who grabbed the
frightened animal by the bit and held
on until it was stopped. No damage
was done.
George P. Halls team of work
horses furnished the other last even
ing. They pulled up the hitching post
at the Fruit Association yards and
ran south to Main. In turning east
on Main, the team ran into Charlie
Lanes horse and buggy, which were
standing on the corner, and all the
horses went down in heap. Forum
ately, no damage was done.

Progressive Farmer Bows.

Charles and David Vahlberg left
Friday for Moscow to take the farm
ers' course in the state university.
They expect to be absent until spring.
Those two young men are intent up
on becoming real farmers and are
losing no opportunity to fit them
selves in most thorough manner for
their chosen life work. At every
farmers institute held here, the Vahl-
berg boys have always been present.
Dave, scarcely more than boy, has
for several years been specializing in
thoroughbred Poland China hogs and
has the foundation laid for herd that
no breeder need be ashamed of. Char
lie, the older of the two, has made
his mark as judge of beef and dairy
cattle and for the last two successive
years has won first prize for stock
judging at the Canyon county fair
They are progressive young farmers
and are setting an example that other
boys may well follow.

SCHOOL NEWS

Students in the High school have
been divided into five sections for rhe-
torical work. Each student must ap-
pear four times before his section
with such production as is required
by the course of study.
The student organization of the
High school will continue another year
under the same rules as before. Lit
erary contest work will be between
members of each class separately.
Athletic contests will be by special
arrangement.
The reception rendered the Fresh
man class by the three upper classes

joyable event. The program had been
well planned, and was well executed
by all who had parts.
The enrolment in the High school
is the largest in its history, being one
hundred and fifty to date.
All conditions now seem very favor
able to good school work. In order
that the best results may be secured,
parents are invited to confer with
teachers and superintendent concern
ing anything affecting the interests of
the individual pupil or the entire
school.

The Boston Braves defeated the
Philadelphia Athletics in four
straight games and not only won the

phone calls from town and country.

Portland, an Athletic partisan, the fol-
lowing telegram:
'Hurrah for the Boston Braves, the
boys with the beans. (signed) ]. S.

Are Horsethieves About?

The disappearance of two saddle
horses from the hitching racks in En-
NETT Wednesday evening of last week
looks very much as if horse thieves
were prevalent The two horses, a
buckskin and a brown mare, belonged
to Ed Francis. The buskskin had on
a saddle and bride and the mare only
a bride. However, the same evening
a saddle belonging to one of the Yer
genson boys disappeared from a
horse hitched to the same racks at
the same time and it is believed was
used on the mare.

Progressives Hold Meeting

Clarence VanDeusen and Will Monk
were the speakers at a Progressive
party meeting held here Monday
night. About 100 men were present
VanDeusen, though making some
rash statements, makes an interest
ing talk. A number in the audience
are familiar with the value of the N.
E. Lewis land here and the JenneSs
land in Long Valley, and deny that
excessive loans have been made on
them, VanDeusen to the contrary
notwithstanding. In regard to his
charge that State Treasurer Allen
owed the Bank of Nampa when it
failed, Receiver Smallwood says it is
untrue Van Deusen seems to be very
unreliable in his statements. Monk
puts up a poor talk. His remarks
and his actions are so pregnated with
ill-will and spite against Sheriff 3re-
shears and Clerk Stovel, as to reveal
his motives and carry little o. no
weight with the thinking voter.

Disturbed His Prisoners

This story is told on George Kanat-
eel: He was engaged to guard the
Luke and Flowers women, Tuesday
night, while they were being held in
room in the hotel, pending the ar
rival of the sheriff next day. Accord
ing to the prisoners, George went to
sleep and snored so loudly that he dis
turbed the slumbers of his fair pri-
soners and they were peeved. George,
however, says he is not guilty; that a
travelling man was the offender.

MAKES SPLENDID SHOWING
Quarterly Report of Sheriff Breshears
Shows S960.94 to the Good.

/ That the demand of the taxpayers
for economical and efficient admins
tration of public offices is being met
by the Canyon county sheriff is am
ply evidenced by the report flied by
Sheriff Breshears with County Clerk
Stovel on Monday. The report, which
covers the quarter ending September
30, 1914, is the best report that has
ever been submitted by the sheriff's
office, excepting that of April l, 1914,
which was in the amount of S1020.77
to the credit of the county over all
/ expenses, and each report shows
distinct saving in every department
of the work. The total amount depos-
tied during the present term up to
October 1, 1914, is S4560.63.
The total amount expended, as
shown by the report, totals $953.24,
while the receipts We're S1914.19, Ieav-
ing net profit to the taxpayers for
the quarter of S969.94. The showing
is most remarkable because of the
fact that the act creating the public
utilities commission carries a provi-
sion prohibiting railways from issuing
free transportation, and the travel
ing expenses necessary for the prop
er conduct of the office must be de-
Quoted from the receipts. Hereto
fore sheriffs have not had to pay this
heavy expense item.
Not only is the sheriff's office con-
Quoted by Mr.. Breshears economically,
but it is highly efficient as well. That
the work of the present sheriff is ap-
preciated and that he will be re-
elected by a substantial majority is
a foregone conclusion.
The report filed Monday is as fol-
lows:
Report for third quarter, 1914, be-
ginning July l and ending September
80, 1914, showing all moneys collect
ed as fees and expended, as follows:
Amt from civil docket. ...$ 629. .78 !
Amt. from execution docket. 1894. 40

GET YOUR RIDDLES
Crescent Club VIII Hold Fiddlers'
Contest Soon

The Crescent Club of the slope is
planning to hold a fiddler's contest
this fall, at which substantial prizes
will be given to performers, and the
event promises to be interesting.
There are lots of the old fellows, such
as Jonathan Moulton, W. j. Easton
and j. w. Peery, VINO are some pun
kin's on the violin, and there are al
so a lot of young fellows-and girls,
too-who can make the fiddles sing,
and the music is liable to be as weird
and fantastic as symphony program.
The Club met Fridey with Mrs.
Rolla Jones. The roll call was re-
sponded to by citations of labor saw
ing inventions Mrs. Flagler gave an
outline of current events. A paper
on Incorporation" by Mrs. c. w. Cook
was instructive and enjoyed by all.
The national cry of how to make a
little money was discussed and as
there is nothing small about the c. |.
c., it was decided first to give a
Rummage Sale October %, % and "a
in a store building in town, and next
to hold fiddler's contest on date
to be announced later.
During the social hour, refresh
ments were served by the hostess, as
sisted by Mrs. Wright. Mrs. Ruth
Hunt and Mrs. B. C. Bowers were
guests of the day. The next regular
meeting will be held with Mrs. E. W.
Malmstrom October 30.
