sLEuTHs IN ORLEANS
Detective Service in That County
Cost S1,569.25

Burlington, July 16.--Attorney Gen
lowing statement relative to the cost
of detective service in Orleans coun-
ty:
In Orleans county detective service
has been asked for in but two instan-
ces. In the first instance this service
was asked for by the states attorney
in an attempt to trace out the parties
who broke into several cottages on
the shore OF Crystal Lake in Barton.
In connection with this investiga-
ton some other matters were inyesti-
gated. These investigations were
made early in 1913. Again in the win
ter of 1913-l9l4, several cottages on
the shores of Lage Memphremagog in
Newport were broken into and detec-
tiyes was called for. In connection
with these burglaries some other mat
tiers were also investigated and as a
result fines amounting to Sll00 were
imposed and paid In prosecutions for
the Illegal sale of intoxicating liquor.
One respondent was sentenced to the
House of Correction for three months
and another for seven months.
The total cost OF detective service
including expense was sl.569.25.
In this county under the head of de.
tectiye service the sum of S25S.76
was paid to local officers, large por-
ton of which was used in getting out
of the state band of rowing gypsies
who were suspected of committing
minor crimes in Orleans county.
Respectfully.
X. +. Brown,
Attorney General

SOME EXCITING RACES
Features of Wheeler Brothers Shows
Here on Saturday

| Features of Wheeler Brothers Shows
Here on Saturday
During the history of the Wheeler
Brothers Shows they have been not
ed for putting on the most intensely
realistic racing in its Hippodrome
contests that we're ever witnessed
under canvas, put on in a manner
that distinguishes them from the
farces OF racing seen with other
shows. Among the races put on are.
Flat Races, Running Races, Man
against horse. Hurdle Races, Ele-
plant, Camel and Pony Races. Also
the ever exciting Chariot Races.
During the racing an exhibition Of
daring riding will be given by
troupe OF genuine Cossack Riders,
who without doubt accomplish more
difficult and death-defying feats than
any riders that have ever visited this
country.
BY means of cash prizes to the
lady and gentleman winning the
most of the races during the week.
the show has caused a real rivalry to
exist between the contestants, and
though the racing is good natured.
yet 1t is always for blood and testing
the nerve and ingenuity OF the riders
and the speed OF the horses to the
entire satisfaction of the spectators.
"Oh, come, let us go before the rae
ing begins is a remark frequently
heard at circuses, but the knowing
ones never make snch suggestion
when attending the exhibition of the
Wheeler Brothers Shows, which will
be in this city for one day. Saturday,
July Is.

Start Campaign for I
Statewide Prohibition

Boise, Jan. 3.-The board of trustees
of the Anti-Saloon League of Idaho
held their annual meeting in this city
yesterday The most important bust
ness transacted was of the launching
of the statewide prohibition campaign
Tremendous progress has been AAade
by the league in Idaho during the
past five years, and on accouI& of
the progress and the sentiment through
out the state, the league feels justified
in making the campaign for statewide
prohibition. 1t is the plan of the league
to organize every s'dry" county in Ida
no in order to secure the nomination
and election of candidates to the legis-
lature who are known to be right on
the temperance question and will vote
for the passage of a prohibition bill and
at the same time submit a constitution
al prohibition amendment.
The League is to immediately enter
upon the most aggressive and far-reach-
ing educational campaign ever under
taken in the northwest. Literature by
the thousands of pages will be distribut-
ed and the circulation of the Leagues
official paper, The Idaho Citizen, will
be placed into practically every temper
ance home in the state.
1t is the plan of the League to make
these prohibition conventions the great
est gatherings ever held in the state.
The convention in Boise will far over
shadow anything of a similar nature
ever held in the northwest.

when caught in the act of numbering

penalties they would be called on by
