The safe in the Kendrick post
Office was blown open Monday
morning sometime between three
and four o'clock. Cash to the
amount of $3.50 was taken and
stamps amounting to $1,000 were
also taken but afterwards found.
The safe crackers gained entrance
by means of a pass key and once
inside the Office could take their own
time to accomplish the work. 1t
was neat job of burglary in one
respect, but the fact that it took
five shots of nitro glycerine to blow
open the safe door, might lead one
to suppose that the men were some-
what lacking in experience. They
had an unlimited amount of nerve,
however, and didn't seem to care
how much noise they made. Some
of the guests at the Guy Hotel were
awakened by the first explosion.
They could hear the men talking
and also hear them chopping at the
safe door.
Up to the present time no clue
has been discovered as to the indent-
ity of the robbers. The rain Sun
day night blotted out all tracks that
might have assisted the authorities
in determining which direction the
men had taken.
Donald McCrea found the
stamps Monday afternoon while on
his way to school. They were hid
den under culvert in the east end
of town. About eleven dollars
worth were missing.
Postoffice Inspector Fullinwinder
at Spokane was notified that the
robbery had occurred and he imme-
diately notified the U. S. officials
throughout the northwest. Secret
service men were put on the case
and though it may take time to
catch the robbers the probabilities
are that they will eventually be
apprehended. 1t is said that only

0LDHELD RECEIVERS
STOLEN JEWELRY
Found in The Brush Near
\ Town.

Part of the loot which was taken
from the Oldfield Jewelry store two
months ago was discovered last
Saturday by Ernest Freytag and
Leslie Stevens, while they were
hunting their cows. They found
a sack beside the road just a
short distance from town
containing a quantity of sliverware,
such as knives, forks, spoons and a
few toilet articles, all plated ware.
Apparently those who committed
the robbery had taken everything
to this spot and selected the pieces
they wished, throwing the rest in
the brush. The sack and contents
were in very good condition. The
plated tableware was in such good
shape that Mr. pOldfield says with a
little polishing it will be as good as
new. This speaks we'll for the
grade Of silver he handles if it can
stand two months of outdoor life
during the kind of weather we have
had this spring and winter.

SAFE CRACKERS ROBBED KENDR|CK POST OFFICE
$1,000 Worth of Stamps and $3.50 in Cash Stolen
Market of N. B. Long Entered

one half of one percent Of the men
who burglarize a U. s. postoffice
get away.
The sheriff was also notified and
he sent word to all the neighbor-
ing towns to be on the lookout for
the robbers. Sheriff Campbell and
Deputy Sheriff Hall were in Ken
drick working on the case and al
though there were no clues left, it
is thought the chances for escape
are small.
The transfer of the postoffice from
Harry Stanton to ]. F. Brown, the
newly appointed postmaster. was to
have taken place Monday morning
but owing to the fact of the robbery
the final transfer was not completed
until late in the afternoon. New
reports and transfer accounts had
| to be made out and the investiga-
tions by the postal Inspector re-
quired several hours.
1t is thought that before entering
the postoffice the burglars attempted
to rob the safe in N. B. Long &
Sons meat market. The combi-
nation had been twisted off with a
pipe wrench but the safe was not
opened. A bank pass book on the
cash register probably saved the
safe from being blown up. After
twisting the combination off, the
robbers probably noticed the bank
book and finding that the firm had
made a deposit Saturday night,
thought it hardly worth while to
finish the job. AS it happened there
was just ten cents in cash in the
safe.
The tools which were used te
open the safe were taken from the
Northern Pacific pump house. Much
the same methods of work were
used by the men who cracked the
Kendrick Store Co.'s safe last fall
and it is possible that the same gang
pulled off both jobs.

entertained at her home in honor of
her mother. Mrs. Candy, who re-
turns to Spokane soon, after a
winters stay in Kendrick.
Although the weather was stormy,
the house was made cozy by the

the shaded light of many candles.
The color scheme in pink and white
was tastefully carried out through
out the house and especially in the
appointments of the tea table.
Many guests called during the
afternoon.
Mrs. Wenzlaff was assisted by
Mrs. ]. E. Hoyt at the tea table.
Mrs. w. M. McCrea and Miss Luella

WELSH SINGERS
PLEASE AUDIENCE
Delightful Program Given on
Tuesday Evening.

One of the musical treats of the
season was the concert given Tues
day night by the Royal Gwent Male
Singers. The audience, though
small, was an appreciative one and
almost every number was encored.
The program consisted of solos,
duets. trios, quartets and chorus
singing. The numbers were good
but the chorus work was especially
beautiful. The "Hallelujah Cho.
rus" from the great oratoria,
Messiah" was a wonderful blend
ing of tones and was perhaps the
most popular number of the even.
ing program.
This troop Of singers is one OF
two travelling choruses from Wales
The other one started to tour Africa
but was compelled to return home
on account of the European War
An interesting incident in connec.
tion with the singers is the fact
that one of them was in the Titanic
disaster. He entertained a crowd
at the hotel after the show with
some graphic and "orrible" details
of the scene of the disaster.

Villa in Mountains

1t is reported that Villa has re-
treated to the mountains and that
he'is seriously wounded. His band
has decreased until it is now esti-
mated to number less than one
hundred and fifty men. Their
equipment is very meagre and they
are almost destitute.
Neither the state nor war de-
partment have had any further in
formation regarding rumors OF
Villas death. The report was
secuted in all official quarters as q
futile hoax to gain time for Villa.

FARMERS WILL
BUILD ELEVATOR
Will be Ready to Handle The
1916 Crop.

At meeting of the Stockholders
of the Kendrick Rochdale Co.., last
Saturday, it was definitely decided
to erect an elevator having a capa-
city of about $4,000 bushels. A
large number Of the stockholders
were present and the necessary
money was raised to assure the
building of the elevator.
This action was taken by the
farmers to protect themselves
against the abnormal price of grain
sacks and to be prepared in the
event that the shortage of sacks
may become so great that they can
not be had at any price.
1t is still a question as to whether
the building will be constructed of
steel or wood. Figures have been
made on both materials but no
conclusion has been reached as to
which will be used.
The elevator will be erected
between the two Rochdale ware
houses and to make the necessary
room, the lower end Of the upper
warehouse will have to be torn
down.

The following paragraph was
clipped from the Star Mirror:
1t was learned that roomers in the

8 o'clock Monday morning and that
a young man in the hotel arose to

pecting burglars, in hearing a noise
in the hallway of the hotel, he

beneath his bed.

them with earth just back of
these leaves. If the covered
parts are bruised or twisted
roots quickly form, and the vine
can then be cut away from the
old stalk leaving a healthy plant
which will bear quickly. The
first planting of turnips or mus
tard can also be made at this
time.
Two or three weeks later cool
er weather plants can be started
among these are recommended
bunch beans, spinach, beets, let
tuce, carrots, parsnips, parsley,
and celery. Radishes can be
planted in succession every two
or three weeks as can turnips,
mustard and lettuce.

Some Hike

What is believed to have been
one of the longest tropical hikes
ever made by American troops
thrown on t heir ,ow n
res sources in a hostile
country, was the hike made by
the Eight Company, Fourth
Regiment of United States Mar
ines, when it covered in a day
and a night, on July End and 3rd,
tn e Ill kilometers between
Monte Christi and Santiago,
Santo Domingo, after fighting
most of the way. 1t is seventy
six American miles between
these two points and the hike
was the third longestsever made
by the United States Marine
Corps, under any circumstances
that approached warfare.
With a handful of u. S. Mar
ines, Colonel Pendleton main
tanned unbroken. an eighty mile
line of communication, and the
quick settlement of the Domin-
icon trouble is probably due,
in the opinion of the Marine
Corps officials, to the rapid hik-
ing of the Marines to the interi-
or of the country. The natives
have been disarmed and there
is no further fighting.
The expeditionary force, under
Colonel Pendleton of the Marine
Corps, consisted of two regi-
ments of Marines.

Start a Fall Garden Today

Fall gardens form one Of Mis-
sissippi's natural advantages.
Not only can every farmer pro-
long his summer table luXuries
by planting now for fresh vege-
tables this fall but he can con-
serve the health of the family
and cut down the grocery bills.
This is the opinion of A. B. Nc
Kay, of the Mississippi A. and
M. College, who is enthusiastic
over the increased interest being
taken by Mississippi farmers in
year-round gardens.
In recently giving out some
very valuable information on
what and when to plant in fall
garden, Mr.. Mckay urged a
thorough preparation Of the seed
bed as the main essential to
success. A finely pulverized soil
and deep seed beds not only
store up the moisture that will
be needed in the dry fall months,
but greatly reduce the labor of
cultivation.
Among the vegetables that
need to be planted Immediately,
Mr.. Mckay recommends Irish
potatoes, cabbage-seed planted
where they are to grow, col
lards, cauliflower, onions either
seed or sets, early maturing
field corn for roasting ears, but
ter beans, cucumbers, squash,
and Kentucky Wonder beans.
A month of ripe tomatoes can
usually be secured if strong,
healthy plants are started the
first of August. A quicker
method is to bend down :the old
vines where they have new
