THE POOR WHO ARE
PASSED ON ALONG
ONE UNFORTUNATE WHO Be
LIEVED HIMSELF THE BALL IN
TENNIS OR PING PONG GAME

They are passed along from one
tewn and community to another
Last week a stranger afflicted with
the palsy passed by en- a train from
esooding. a charge upon the people OF
American Falls as soon as he landed
there. He was sent back whence he
came. his immediate wants being gen
erously supplied.
n ten hours ne was landed at the
Power City again. and the poor man
began to wonder if it were tennis or
ping pong he was into, when he was
sent back again over the same route
he had travelled twice before. when
they tried TO land him for eood at
Rupert. There are no further reports
from him and he may be travelling still
There may be frauds among these
helpless people but there are also de-
serving ones among them. we may be
sure of that Anyway it is mighty
poor charity that passes a charge Of
that sort from one place to another.
Shoshone gets all that is coming to
it from this class of the poor that
pass. Only a little while ago man
and wife and two sick children were
put off here. They were destitute.
Then came along a man stranded on
his way to a hospital in a distant city.
They were generously helped here. but
some other towns have them now.

IN Monday did not bemoan his bad
uck in not getting by the trainmen.

md then put on his coat again. with
me sleeveless arm, not hanging loose

SECOND BURGLARY
STILL 4 CONVICT
ESCAPED FROM ROAD CAMP ON
FRIDAY, STOLE CLOTHING SUM-
DAY. CAUGHT AGAIN MONDAY.

The penitentiary convict Felix Mar
tena by name, who escaped last Friday
from the State road camp near Glenns
Ferry. was captured on Monday by
the Sheriffs department of Lincoln
county after he had robbed the dwell
ing of c. Shellman at Dietrich on Sun
day.
Deputy Sheriff Wheeler made the
arrest at Owinza after the convict had
boarded a train with him east-bound.
you have on some clothes that
don't belong to YOU" said the officer
to the man.
mo such thing" was the reply, but
without giving the accused one mo-
ment the officer slapped handouts on
his wrists and then proceeded the
search which brought forth large re-
volver an opera glass and all the other
things missing from the Shellman
home except the rifle. The recovery
of the rifle will doubtless be accom-
plished.
The convict was safely landed in
Jail He was working contentedly at
the road camp his term of imprison- !
ment being about to expire. He came
up from Bingham county for the same
offense as that committed at Dietrich.
He stated to the officer that after
making his getaway he found work
on a farm for a day or two, passed
several hours at Shoshone on his way
east and thought life would be easier
with other clothes than his convict
garb and that that was why he COM
mitted his last burglary.
He has the appearance as well as
the name of a Mexican.

lie Roi Est Mort Vive le Roi. The
King is dead, There have been
King Johns, King Georges, King Cot
ton and King Corn, to say nothing Of
King Cole. but to no other one thing
possessed of life has the unqualified
title of The King ever been given.
Education, experience and native
cunning failed utterly when attempting
to cope with The King.
1t was simply a matter of fate. The
right man came along and The King
fell. He reigned for a quarter Of
century. How much longer no one
knows. With a cunning bordering on
the superhuman, The King ruled his
subjects. The loyal ones revered him
and in the course of the season owed
to his sagacity their lives. Pretenders
to the throne and other undesirable
characters were disposed OF with a neat
ness and dispatch admired and envied
by other kings. He woulastreacher-
ously tell them the tempting morsel
was safe to bite. Bite. swish, and
flip Of his tail and he was gone. Such
anglers as Senator Gooding and Matt
McFan knew a generation ago that
some uncanny brain interfered with
their fishing on Cottonwood. A mon
ster big Rainbow trout would flash By
and from that time on they might just
as well go home. 1t was The King
out warning his loyal subjects Of i'm
pending danger.

Sunday It happened Is miles from
shoshone where the stream makes a
sharp turn to the east. just opposite
the dead. lightning-sruck old cotton
wood tree. Agent whitenack and J.
F Melvin caught him. To Mr.. Melvin
belongs the credit of hooking him
and to Mr.. Whitenack the honor of
being the directing genius that put The
King in the basket On examination
five hooks were found in The Kings
mouth, showing that mighty good fish
ermen in years gone by had fought and
failed. Seven local anglers identified
the hooks as belonging to them, one
stating that he made the cast 25 years
ago this month. It was the big fish,
of course. that got away.
Melvin tied gray hackle and
black gnat together and flipped them
onto the crest Of the foam -flecled .
stream just TO the left of the big rock.
In a flash The King grabbed that
bait and was of with it. Whitenack .

ince and for an hour battled with The
King. Full three feet long, this vet
sran fish wound the line around rocks
and roots and put up stubbor2 de-

owing the direction Of Whitenack, the
master angler, he brought his fish to
he surface a score of times, only to
lave him slip back into the depths.

the real title of this story. It is an out
cropping of the true Journalistic spirit.
Melvin is strong for putting it in the

wants to selfishly enjoy the telling of

Notes of the County ". VI. c. A.
An important meeting OF the
Athletic Committee was held at Lyons
last Wednesday evening with ten
members present, the main business
of the meeting was the arrangement
for the Annual Relay Race, which
will be held this month.
An innovation will be introduced
this year by dividing the race and
running into Portlad from Lake
Odessa, Pewamo, and Lyons, and on
another day run from Ionia, Saranac,
Orleans. Palo into Bedding. The Port
land people have arranged to take all
the boys into the Chautauqua which
will be there at that time.
The dates are August 26 for the
Bedding division and August 20 for
the Portland division. 1t is desired
by the committee that boys in the
country will run with the various
teams. Every boy, no matter where
he lives in the county, is invited to
run providing that he is IA years of
age and has been previously examined
by physician. The entire distance
will need 172 boys.
Last week Thursday seven boys
from Portland accompanied by the
County Secretary rode their wheels
towards Lansing camping for the
night on the banks of the river near
Delta. They reached Lansing the
next morning at eight o'clock without
even a blow out. While there they
visited the capitol, college and indus
trial school for boys. DIR. S. A, Horn
ing accompanied the boys with his
auto carrying the bedding and the
eats.
The state committee in cooperation
with the farm experts of the State are
arranging for two weeks camp on
Torch Lake, August 1929, for farm
boys over 16. Two hours every day
will be given to lectures and demon
STATIONS of scientific farming. In
addition to this the boys will receive
training along physical and moral
lines that will make them far more
efficient in their home communities.
Boys that can go should not fail to
enroll at once by sending name and
enrolment fee of $500 to c. f. Angel
at once.
