Lieutenant Prater Is Presented With
Handsome Revolver. Special Train
Brought Visitors.

When they habitually speak OF
war ship as "she," it will be permiss-
ible to say that an invitation was last
week extended to Miss Company X, OF
Buhl, by Miss Company d, of Twin
Falls, to come over to her house on
Thursday and bring her tatting for a
get-together visit and talk about the
neighhOrs and all other interesting
subjects. The invitation was accepted,
evidently in the spirit in which 1t was
given, and there resulted an exceed
ingly pleasant occasion in which the
two companies, both belonging to the
Second Battalion of the Second Regi-
ment. Idaho National Guard, strength
ened alike the ties of friendship, indi-
vidual and collective, and the spirit OF
the corps.
The gathering was held In Cotillion
Hall. where Company d, about fifty
strong, appeared as hosts and gave
the glad hand to their guests, who
appeared with about forty men, rank
and file. Both companies were II
uniform when, drawn up facing eacl
other in martial array. Captain +. w
McRoberts stepped forward and gave
cordial and unaffected welcome to thu
visitors. This was responded to II
kind by Captain c. " Biggs, on behal
of Company X. This was followed b.

HOUSEBREAKERS ENTER
TWO HOMES IN CITY
Back Doors Forced and Jewelry Stolen
Methods of Professionals Seem to
Have BEEN Employed.

That a gang of hOusebreakers are |
operating in this city, is the opinion
of many on account OF the methods
used in the robbery of two homes in
this city last week in manner which
showed some knowledge of the meth
DDS of professionals.
Returning about 10 o'clock Friday
night from a visit with friends, Mr..
and Mrs J. E. Cress found that their
residence at 602 Fourth avenue East
had been broken into and a quantity Of
jewelry and some small change stolen
by burglars who entered through the
back door and ramsacked the house.
The articles stolen consisted of
lady's gold watch, a diamond ring,
Mrs. Cress' wedding ring and two 9TH
er rings, and locket bracelet and one
or two other articles of jewelry and a
pocketbook containing about a dollar
in change The burglars secured en-
trance by pulling the screen door
loose on the kitchen and then unlock
ing the doors. They did not turn on
the electric lights but used matches,
the burned ends of which were freely
scattered through the house. In their
search they overlooked a $50 gold
piece which was hidden under some
table linen, and they utterly disre-
garded the silver of the family
Two nights previously the home Of c.
= Rehmann at 228 Ninth avenue East
was entered under similar circum-
; stances and a number of articles of
iewelry stolen. In this instance the
burglary was committed shortly be-
fore o'clock. The thieves entered in
the rear door, prying loose screen
enough to unhook it, and finding the
kitchen door locked from the inside
prying that open with a jimmy. II
took eight efforts to break the lock
The front door was then unlocked
, from the inside, evidently for the pur
pose OF furnishing an avenue of re
treat should anyone enter the bacl

a desperate resistance on his part and
by the timely arrival of G. r. Elvin,
plumber, who was rooming in the hotel
and who beat the insane man into in
sensibility with the handle OF an auto
matte revolver.
Mr.. Holler was aroused from sleep
by terrific pounding and screaming In
the room occupied by Umphenour and
rushed up to see what was the matter.
Just as he reached the door OF the
room in which the crazy man was
staying, the latter broke through the
upper panels of the door into the hall
with a piece of chair which he had
demolished, and springing into the
hall attacked the proprietor, who, try
ing to get into the next room and find
ing it locked, was barred from egress
by the insane man, who blocked his
way in the hall. Wisely deciding not
to be caught In a corner, Mr.. Holler
rushed at his assailant, who, crying
with an oath, Nov I've got you"
struck him a terrible blow on the
head with the piece of chair. Mr.
Holler partly warded off the blow with
his arm and clinched with Umpher-
nour, who threw him to the floor. At
this moment Elvin rushed from his
room to assist Mr.. Holler He
first tried to pull off the crazy
man, and finding that this failed he
drew a pistol and began beating him
over the head, until he was rendered
senseless. While doing this the pistol
was discharged and the bullet buried

BE HELD AT TWIN FALLS
Republican State Committee Holds
Session RatifyIng Action Taken Al
Irregular Meeting.

BOISE-With a majority OF the
members of the committee either pres
ent in person or by proxy, the Repup-
lican state central committee met TO-
day in this city at the call OF Evan
Evans, chairman, and made legal the
actions of minority Of the committee
at it's meeting Feb. II by naming Iwln
Falls as the place for holding the state
convention, and the date May 20. II
was left optional with the county
committees as to the manner in which
delegates to the convention shall De
elected. The representation, however
was raised from two times the num-
Der of Representatives each county mas
In the legislature to six times that
number That is three times the rep
resentation allowed by the minority OF
the committee at its meeting on Fep.
IL.
The committee elected James Stotts
its temporary secretary. 1t went INTO
session shortly after 10 o'clock, at
which time credential committee was
appointed by Evan Evans, who presid-
ed as chairman. This committee an
nounced a majority of the members ol

as possible 1t was believed that by
SO doing the state convention wouic
be made one of the most representa-
| tive OF any ever held In the state. Ac
ton as announced above was taker
along this line. 1t is in direct con
trast with the action OF the minorit.
of the committee at its meeting
month ago, which caused not neti'
comment because each county's repre-
sentation was reduced almost TWO
thirds.
1t was thought by the commute
that in view of the fact Twin Fails na'
from the committee for a primary. l
was claimed that the question woul

GOVERNOR EXPLAINS POSITION
ON SALMON COMPROMISE
S.ys Duties OF Land Board Cease III
settlers Do Not Accept Land Boards
Proposition.

In response to a letter sent by
Salmon tract entryman 10 the State
Board OF Land Commissioners relative
to the compromise outlined by the
board for the adjustment of the Sal
mons difficulties, Governor M. Alex
ander replied, outlining his position In
the matter.
He states:
81 am sorry to hear that people are
leaving the tract but that is no fault
of mine. l did not create the condi-
tions on the tract, am only trying to
help them.
There Is no desire on the part OF
the Land Board OF myself to force
anything on you people, only we will
not engage in law suit, nor VIII we
encourage you in getting one up, that
Is not the intention of the Land Board
at any time.
There was a resolution adopted
by the Board which covered roughly
the outline of a proposed compromise
between the bondholders and the set
tiers, and when that compromise is
ready and looked over by the state
Engineer and his report made upon
same, il will be presented to the set
tiers and the company and If it is not
adopted our duties cease in the mat
ter, to a certain extent as we can
not force you nor anyone else TO ac-
cept anything you do not want.
"The bondholders have not yet ex
pressed themselves and you are th'
first settler so far who has made ar
expression to me, neither has thu
State Engineer made a full report, 81
you can see that no one is hurt.
81 believe the worst thing that coul'
happen to the tract would be pro
longed law suit and when 1t is owe
you would not be any better off. fo'
have perfect right to stand upol
your rights, and my actions and tha
of the Land Board are simply in III
line Of friendly mediators in the trou
blesome conditions that exist on tn

MANY DIFFICULTIES IN WAY OF

New Troops Must Replace Those
Taken From Border and All Event

SAN ANTONIO, TEX-Major Gen
eral Frederick Funston Sunday out
lined his plans for the capture, dead
or alive Of Francisco villa and his
band of outlaws.
I'VE do not ourselves know just
when the expedition will start into
Mexico, but it will be as soon as an
adequate commissary can be organ
lied. 1t will not be held back, how
ever until all the troops now ordered
to the border have arrived.
There is no use of going at this
thing half cooked. The task ahead OF
US will be a long and arduous one"
1t became known Sunday that the
plans for the campaign against Villa
have been affected by the border sit
uation elsewhere than at Columbus
n. NJ. The situation is so important
as to have hindered rapid consentra-
tion of the punative expedition that
will go after the perpetrators of the
Columbus outrage.
Great excitement has been noted, il
/ is authoritively stated. in the Car
rama garrisons at Nogales, opposite
the Arizona border town Of that name
and at Piedras Negras, which fronts
Eagle Pass, Tex, from across the Ri
Grande.
This uneasiness has extended to tn
Large Mexican population on tn
'(American side. Troops now statione
on the border are sufficient to cop
with any situation that may aris'

templated tacking an addition to the
high school, and as a consequence
about so citizens we're in attendance
last night to protest. AS there was
