GOOD MEETING AT ROCKLAND.

ID. w. Davis addressed good meet
ing at Rockland Saturday night at
the close of the picture show. AL
though it was nearly 10 o'clock when
he began speaking he had the closest
attention and interest of his audience.
He explained in detail how an enor-
nous fund could be built up by hand
ling the states resources in a busi-
ness like way, and the great saving
in interest charges to farmers when
supplied with money at current rates
for state loans over what they had to
pay for state money.
The Rockland band was out and
played several selections before the
meeting Although the band is a new
organization it would attract favorable
comment anywhere.
]. T. Fisher, president of the Rock
land State Bank, presided at the meet
ing and introduced the speaker. In the
course of his address Mr.. Davis answ-
cred every criticism that had been
aimed at his taxlese state plan and
brought conviction to his hearers. Mr.
Fisher, after the close of tht meet
ing, expressed the general opinion oi
those present when he said Davis il
on the right track"

ELECTROCUTED BY POWER WIRE.
Thomas Carr. Salt Lake Junk Dealer,
Meets Sudden Death Near Ban.
mock Greek.

Monday night about $3.50 Thomas
Carr, said to be Salt Lake junk deal
er, was electrocuted near Bannock
creek between here and Pocatello.
Carr was apparently driving through
the country gathering junk. He had
been around American Falls for sew
eral days, probably leaving here Mon
day afternoon late. He camped at
Bannock creek for the night and here
he met another party of people going
through. He talked with them for
some time and about nine o'clock said
that he would go to bed and disappear
ed in the direction of his wagon.
About half an hour later the party of
campers were startled by hearing
cracking sound and looking up they
saw man with his arms extended
fall from a nearby pole which car
ried electrical wires. The locality
was frightened by the flash, and by
the time they rushed TO the scene the
man was lying in a PROSTATE condi-
tion at the foot of the pole and it is
CotlludtCu ludl oo,VVV NoiOo pdoocu
through him. The hand that held a
saw with which it is thought he ex-
pected to cut the wires, and the foot
to which his iron climbing spike was
fastened were badly burned.
Superintendent NJ. E. Hughes of Po-
catello visited the scene of the acci-
dent Tuesday morning and after max
ing careful examination states that
hacksaw and belt of the man were
found strapped near the top of the
pole. Appearance indicated that the
man had at first attempted to short
circuit the wire, apparently on the
assumption that the plant would i'm
mediately close down and seek the
source of the trouble. After the cur
rent was off it would be easy to have
removed considerable section of the
wire. 1t being the system after get
ting short circuit to try out the cur
rent again, doubtless was not figured
on by Carr, and when he caught hold
of the wire the heavy voltage instant
ly killed him. The appearance Of one
of his hands showed conclusively that
he had hold of the wire when the cur
rent was again turned on as three
streaks are burned acros the palm.
The mans effects displayed duan-
tity of junk, such as brass, copper
skins and the like. A black dog was
with the wagon, and on the collar was
a license tag for 1915 and also fol
1916, issued by the authorities o.
Brigham City, Utah, the license mum
ber being rs, which would establish
identity of the individual paying fol
it.
The horses and outfit of the maj
were taken to the stable of Carl lines
at American Falls, and the saw ant
\ belt were turned over to the authori
ties of that county.

VOLUME XIV.
SHOT WHILE TAPPING TILL
AT FALL CREEK MERCANTILE.
Gets I'm Bad COmpany-Pals Make
Good Their Escape.

About 1880 this morning, Johnson
Clark, who was sleeping at the Fall
Creek Mercantile Company, was
awakened by a rock being thrown
through the office window. Instead
of becoming excited and turning on
the lights, he quietly dressed and got
ready to receive whoever might come
in. After a short wait he noticed
parties looking in the front windows,
obviously to determine whether any
one was in the store. Seeing no one
they returned to the window, broke
at least two in the store and probably
one or more stationed without. Mr..
Clark thought they would open the
side door and took a position where
he could command it but was mis-
taken in his surmise. Finding that he
could not get located where he could
command a view of the store with
out apprising the robbers of his pres
ence he decided to wing the one in
view and take chances on getting the
OLnerS. One Oh LneIn was dI the tiue
going through the cash register,
where five dollars in change is kept.
The robber had just transferred three
dollars in dimes from the register to
his pocket when he was surprised by
a shot through the shoulder from 20
special The robbers beat hasty
retreat. Clark ran out of the front
door and heard the robbers going
down the alley. He Immediately went
to the depot believing the robbers
would try to get out on a freight, and
telephoned the marshal and sheriff's
office. About an hour later young
man shot through the shoulder was
found crossing the railroad near the
depot. He proved to be young mar
from Rate River, named Lipvine who
was a former inmate of the reform
school. The money taken was recov'
cred Lipvine refuses to say who hi:
pals were.

REAL CONDITION In MEXICO.

1t is very doubtful whether the peo-
pie of the United States, other than
those living in border states, have any
real idea Of actual conditions prevail
ing there. A Boise man, Arthur True
key, who has just returned from Ell
Paso, gives the Boise Statesman an
Illuminating interview which gives
lows:
"The better class of Mexicans who
have gone to Ell Paso for safety and
most of the citizens Of Ell Paso are
agreed that the United States shonld
have entered Mexico two years ago.
They are also of the poinion that the
present tactics of the army are worse
than useless. They say the only
thing to do is to move south, conquer
ing the country inch by inch as they
CO. In no other way can permanent
results be obtained.
II notice that the papers in this
section of the country get entirely diff
ferent stories from the ones they
print on the border, so that one read
| ing of conditions up here has really
little conception of the real situation.
They all agree down there that
| Obregon was simply playing for time
