scented with card, painted by the
hostess with appropriate designs,
such as THE time, the place and the
pan on them, and asked to give
their favorite recipe to add to a cook
book. After a number of valuable
ones had been written Mrs. John Nor
rls, sister of the bride-elect, from
GreenHlule, invited the guests into
the adjoining room TO see the Home

is giving up for one in Anderson.
This proved miniature cottage by
the side of mOSS-covered mountain
which was reflected in lake, and
formed a pretty scene. When the
moss was removed from the mountain
it was found to be constructed of
kitchen utensils. This was indeed

When the guests arrived at Miss Nor
ryce's pretty home, on Norris street,

bag of grain. and a little later to the
sweet strains Of the wedding march
Miss Hill came down the stairs into
the reception hall, where she was
showered with an unexpected deluge
OF rice. When quiet was again re-
stored each guest was given a pretty
little blank recipe book, and wrote
in it some good recipe or "practical
advice" for the young bride-elect.

PARK TOURISTS
ARE HELD UP
Senator Brady's Party and Party
Of New York Sight Seers
Victims

Pocatello, Idaho Senator Brady I
party and Mr.. Rice's party of 12!
New York Tourists experienced {
sensational holdup near the Fountain
hotel in the Yellowstone park Friday
about 10 o'clock, as the line of stages
was rounding curve in the road.
The front stage was halted and the
passengers were ordered to line vi
and throw their money into a sack
held by one of the robbers AS the
third coach was being held up Mr.
Rice jumped from the stage and
started back to notify the rest of the
people to hide their valuables.
The bandit party numbered three
One kept a gun ON the crowd. another
passed the gunny sack before the
tourists, and the third stood SO feet
away from the road, guarding the en-.
tire line of coaches. The third bandit
opened fire on Mr.. Rice, who disap-
peared into the brush. The bandits
realizing the alarm had been given,
Immediately fled into the hills.
Senator Brady was riding In the
rear of his party with Mr.. Haynes,
president of the Yellowstone Stage
Coach company. AS soon. as the alarm
was given he started ahead ON foot
to see what was the matter, and was
met by Mr.. Rice, who had just been
under fire of the bandits rifle.
Upon arriving at the head coach
belonging to Rice g party, they found
that the party refused to go ahead
until they were sure the bandits were
gone. Senator Brady then walked
about half mile ahead and returned,
unable to find any signs of the BAN
dts. The Rice party would not go
ahead until the senator mounted the
front seat with the driver, which he
did, and the party resumed its jour-
ney.
Last reports state that the bandits
have not been apprehended.

at Idaho Falls, Idaho, August 23-24-25
rs and 27, 1915, have reached tn,
stage that the committee i'm charge
know that it is to be the ONE BIC
ROUNDUP.
In the short space of four years
the War Bonnet Round Up has made
name not alone for itself and fol
Idaho Falls, but for the whole state
of Idaho.
The committee has not been salts
fled merely with giving the public the
best show of its kind that can be
produced, but has spent many thou,
sands of dollars in producing the
features of this wonderful event on
miles of moving picture films and din
sending these films abroad until there
lis not a state in this great Union
that has not had al opportunity of
eing the beautiful parade of splen.
did live stock and rich agricultural
products of the state of Idaho and
then to be thrilled with about one
mile of film depicting the picturesque
costumes and characteristic skill and
antics of Cow Boys, Cow Girls, In
dams and Broncos, showing such red
blooded events that the moss-covered
squash grower of the East longs to
join us in the West where life Is
a-tingle with stimulating activity.
Arrangements have been completed
to have this year, in addition to the
famous War Bonnet Roundup, a
Running Meet between the best thor
oughbreds to be obtained The Round,
Up features are to be supplemented
with a trainload of Wild West mater
ial, including bad horses, steers, buf-
falo and burros, all in addition to the
features that have formerly been
given in connection with the Round
Up. Plans are likewise under way to
furnish Flying Machine Race, for
Moving Pictures and for a Grand
Public Dance ON the beautifully paved
streets, where thousands of couples
will dance to the music of the ia
nous Cow Boy Band
We ask here only a chance to tell
the people of Idaho and the entire
West that 1T is the fixed purpose of
the committee to give them this year
more than they expect to receive dur
