by the late John Arbuckle and opened
as a hotel, where young girls who

So far as the boarders were concerned,
the experiment has been a successful
one, but there has been deficit each

to close the institution and sell the

Fighting on The Eastern Front
Is fightfu|
GERMANS LOSE HALF MILLION
MEN IN TWO WEEKS
in the Balance and Warsaw Is Still
Untaken.

London, July 2S.-Though the Ger
mans now hold great line from the
Gulf of Riga sweeping southwestward
around Warsaw and thence encircling
that city and stretching away to the
Galician frontier near Sokal, it is es
timated that they have lost 100000
men, perhaps more, in this, the most
ambitious movement of the war, and
in spite of this loss the Russian front
is not yet broken.
On the Narew river, north Of War
saw, the Russians have made stub
born show of resistance, holding Field
Marshal Won Hindenberg for the time
being in check. To the south the
combined Austro-German forces,
struggling to seize the Lublin- -Cholm
railway, have been for days on the
| threshold of success without being
able actually to achieve their goal.
| The fighting on the latter front has
been resumed with great intensity and
the Teutons claim to have improved
their position on the extreme right,
which is resting on the Bug river. Inn
mediately west of Warsaw compare
tive quiet prevails. 1t is along the
Lublin-C -Cholm sector or in the Narew
river region that it is believed a crisis
will be reached.

ABDUCTOR MAKES CONFESSION
Admits Abduction OF Empey for Pur-
pose of Ransom.

In the Bingham county jail at
Blackfoot yesterday, l.. M. Dean, abb
ductor of Empey, signed a long, writ
ten confession of his crime in the pres
ence of County Attorney Ralph w.
Adaiar, Sheriff A. H. Simmons, deputy
sheriffs and detectives.
In the statement he declared that
for the purpose of ransom he abducted
Mr.. Empey, took him to a lonely place
in the hills, and sent note to his
father demanding that $4,000 in gold
be delivered to himself, IN a white
sack at secluded place in the can
yon. He stated that he knew what
he was doing and was of sane mind
and in normal condition.
When questioned by the authorities
concerning what disposition he had
intended making with Empey in case
the ransom had not been forthcoming,
|he stated that he had planned to send
another note giving ten days more,
and in the event that at that time the
gold was not delivered to him, he
would have tied him securely to a
tree, given him an old knife and
made his escape while his captive
slowly cut himself free.
"Why did you go to the Coumerhil
ranch, did you not know that you
were taking chances" was a question
put to him during the quiz.
"Yes," he replied II know l was
taking a chance all right, but then
/ lust wanted to see who was there.
He stated that when he was being
captured at the Coumerhil ranch
Mrs. Coumerhil held a gun and de-
manded that he raise his hands above
Ihis head. He raised them short dis
tance, but not far enough to satisfy
the woman holding the gun, and wher
at her demand he refused to get then
higher she shot hole through his hat
! knocking the latter off
After signing the confession yes
terday Dean demanded that he b.
provided with an attorney. Whe1
someone asked why he desired
|lawyer when he had already signe'
the incriminating statement, he re
piled that he was entitled to one an
that the county was obliged to furnls
him with counsel at its expense.
l Though his preliminary hearin
3 will not occur for day or two, he wa
: this morning taken before the probat
: Judge at Blackfoot and bound over
the district court.
In appearance Dean is man abou
fifty years of age, rather tall. an
0 gaunt looking, has bald head an
: has the general appearance of ma
who has encountered many har
knocks in his life.
Provided a conviction Is secure
the penalty for the crime is from or
to six years at hard labor.

DISTRICT
MAKES REPORT
Floating Indebtedness Is Gut
Down
OF SCHOOL FINANCE
SEEMS IMPROVED
Annual Statement Made by the Treas
urer is of Interest to Local School
Patrons.

The annual financial statement OF
the Independent School District Num-
Der One was given to the publisher
this week and could the Times reprint
the same for the benefit OF it's readers
1t would be done. However, brief
resume of the salient features of the
report are given below:
During the year the district receiv-
ed in cash total of $116,356.75 and
had balance left over from last year
of $2,0S7.32 This totaled $11S,444.07.
The expenditures for all expenses
amounted to $1O3,353.34, of which
$4,5OO was placed in the sinking fund
| At the close Of the fiscal year 1914
the unpaid floating Indebtedness
amounted to $72,262.16. This year
this was reduced to $57, 7,980.54 Be-
sides the school funds from July
half of the taxes will cut this down
to some extent. The finances of the
district are therefore about $4,000 in
better shape than last year. The
board hopes to be able to cut down The
total Indebtedness in the next two
years.

FIVE TRAINS IN ONE NIGHT, REC.
ORD FOR LAST WEEK
Regular Park Train Being Run In
SECTIONS. Park Camping Company
Refuses Patrons.

The last few nights demonstrated
one OF the heaviest local traffic nights
in the local history of the Short Line,
insofar as park travel was concerned.
There were five trains to the park,
and they totaled fifty-two cars, and
after leaving Ashton eighteen engines
we're required to haul the heavy trains.
There were eleven steel cars IN eacn
OF the three sections of the Shriners'
specials, and three engines hooked
onto each section out of Ashton. The
regular trains were also loaded, two
sections of No. 16 coming out OF the
park.
Very slow time was made In com
ing down, as the southbound trains
had TO sidetrack at every switch IN
order to give right of way to the
park bound trains. The only regular
stops are made at Ashton, Idaho Fails
and Blackfoot and no tickets are sold
for local traffic at the latter place.
At the other two points 1t Is neces-
sary for the individual to show his
ticket before boarding the train, and
the major run of passes will not be
accepted aboard park trains. Inc
local train out of Idaho Falls is sup
pOsed to look after that sort OF busl-
ness
It has proved wonderful tourist
season already, and thousands OF tour
lists are being rushed through tht

end that no more tourists are beint
