SHERIFFYATES
TAKES TWO
GUESTS
Miller and Verdot, of Kamiah,
Taken Into Custody
Here Today.

Two Junk men, are now languish1ng
in the county bastile under charge of
looting the Cracker Jack mine up in the
Buffalo Hump country. The arrest
was made on the streets of Grangeyille
by Deputy Sheriff Eller and assistants
Just before noon today Thursday.
The men drove into town with a
four-horse team and a covered wagon
and shortly after went to Day q Abra-
hanson barber shop for shave, ana
the arrest followed shortly afterwards,
each man being arrested separately.
The property taken consists of two
large copper plates 5x10 feet in dlmen-
sion, which had been cut down to MT
into the bottom of the wagon box; a
roll or two of aluminium cable; valves,
various kinds of connections and tools.
According to the estimate OF Pete
johnson, who knows every detail OF the
Crackerjack mine, in the vicinity OF
which he has worked for years ana
owns property, the value of the prop
erty taken would amount to well above
$500. All the goods were found III the
wagon after the arrest were made, and
are now in the hands of Sheriff Yates
Billie Allen, the care taker OF the
Crackeriaek, who lives at Orogrande
and makes trips into the property al
stated intervals, phoned the sheriff
office on Wednesday of the raid that
had been made on the property. Deputy
Bill Eller was sent out to intercept
and arrest the parties, but did not con.
meet up with them until late at nlgh'
when he found them camped near Har-
pster. He did not interfere with them
but allowed them to come on to town
where he followed them and made the
arrest.
In conversation with the Globe re
porter, the two men gave their names
as George w. Verdot, and Harrison
Miller. The latter resides in kamlan
and stated that he had been engaged IL
teaming. The former, who is a mar
well along in years, is cltlzeh ol
Idaho county, owning farm OF 1ot
acres across the line from kamlah. ht
has been q resident of this county 1ol
10 years, while Miller has llVed Ii
Kamiah for four years.
"There will be nothing TO tnli
charge" said Miller, therefore woule
like to keep it out of the papers unit
after the preliminary hearing, so Il
would not worry my family. If maj
can show where he got the property ane
that it was secured in a legitimate way
| it certainly ought to clear his name.
Miller stated that Attorney Waliac'
N. Scales had been spoken to as tnen
counsel. Billie Allen and Mr.. Patter

Clearwater, when direct charges VII
be formulated.

PENSION BILL NOT LAW.
Has Passed Both Houses But il Still
LIN Conference.


Advices received recently by the low
iston Commercial Club show that
while both houses of congress have
acted favorable on the Indian war
pension bill, the measure is not vet
law due to the fact that 1t is In con
Terence ON account OF senate amend
ments. Dispatches from Washing
ton had stated the house bill was q
law, due to the fact that it had passed
the senate, and apparently the
amendments were not noted at that
time which would take the measure
into conference. Yesterday the club
sent letters to the Idaho congress
sional delegation urging that the con-
ference report be made this session.
The letter from the department of
the interior, written by the commits
sioner OF pensions, received yesterday
by the Commercial Club, is as follows :
In response to your recent COM
munication you are advised that bill
II. X. 655 granting pensions to sur
v1vors OF the various Indian wars
since 1860, and to the widows or SOL
diers of such wars, passed the house
of representatives February 16, 1916,
AAAtN PoEoOo thC SClldOC Will certain
amendments May 8, 1915, and by rea-
son of the amendments passed by the
senate the bill is now before a con-
ference of the house and senate.
What report this committee will
make is not known, nor is it known
whether the house and the senate
will act favorably on any report the
conference committee may make. In
closed you will find copy of the acts
of July q, 1892, and February 49,
1913, in the only available form that
we have for distribution.
SHOULD the proposed legislation
become law, a proper blank decla
ration for use in making application
for pension under its provisions will
be furnished parties who believe they
have title to pension Hereunder
upon their respective applications fol
such blanks"

RED CROSS WANTS MONEY.
Boise Organization Assisted Each
Member Of Idaho Regiment.


The following letter to Mrs. A. It.
Parker, from Mrs. Alfred Eoff, chair
man of the needle work section of the
Red Cross Society of Idaho, explains
the assistance rendered by the society
to the members of Company L In the
recent mobilization of the Idaho ma
tional guard. The good people of
Grangeville are much indebted to the
Boise ladies for providing our boys
with the essential necessities thus fur
nished. The matter Of recompensing
them was brought up at the Com
mercial Club luncheon ON Wednesday !:
Boise, Idaho, July 10, 1916.
Mrs. A. f. Parker,
Grangeville, Idaho.
My Dear Mrs. Parker: Yours July
II just received. There was no time
to write the women of the towns where
our soldiers came from. We wired all
over the country to see where we could
get the knitted bands and ordered
same from Jaeger, New York. They of
course are the finest quality made, and
by getting in such large quantity we
got specially good price. We ordered
everything wholesale. Five hundred
bars of soap were donated, which
brought the average cost per bar to
only two cents. We gave every man
exactly the same articles, the good
women of Boise doing the work with
a will. The lunch baskets which were
given were really needed. / have seen
in the papers, but for the lunch bask-
cts the boys would have been without
food for nearly two days. Why our
government should treat the best OF
our country In such a manner is more
than / can understand
| do not know how many men came
in Company Il, but you can find out
Each bag cost $1.18 and contained one
abdominal band, two Turkish towels
one Turkish wash cloth, cake of Ivory
soap, a pocket comb, pocket mirror
card of safety pins and package OF
gum. The bag was of unbleached mus
lin folded over and fastened with 0
safety pin.
Certainly Grangeyille is doing hel
share for the young men willing to de
hfend our country. We were too tires
after the work, which had to be rush
ed, to think of ways and means. w,
must now get busy and raise the nee
essary fund to pay our share.
Very sincerely yours,
Louise Eoff

ness of the state land board should be
adopted.
In commenting on the present made
quate system of handling state busi-
ness Mr.. Crum said:
"The paramount issue in Idaho to-
day is to organize the business of the
state on a substantial business basis.
This question looks all others out of
countenance. There is no difference in
principle In private and public busi-
ness. Why, then, should there be any
difference in the method of transac-
ton? In private business we never
think of injecting politics or granting
political favors. / maintain we should
eliminate politics and political favors
from our state business the same as
though it were private concern. Not
only that, public business should be
given the same time, attention and con-
sideration as private affairs. In or
der for this to be done some radical
changes will be necessary. The con
stitution will have to be amended elm
