men who blew the safe in the Ken

! TO-,
Deputy Sheriff John Hall has just
returned from Spokane where he
went as witness in the preliminary
case and to identify an iron contriv-
ance, similar to one found near the
scene OF the Marcus robbery, as one
found near the Kendrick postoffice the
morning after it was robbed The in
strument is one used to pull COM
bination knobs from safes, and was
made on Donavan's special order at
the International Iron Works, accord
ing to the testimony of workmen who
were witnesses in the preliminary and
who identified Donavan and the man
taken with him, who gave the name
of John Hayes as being the ones who
ordered the instrument
Mrs. Weaver, who lives on Ameri-
can Ridge, has identified Donavan as
one of the men who took breakfast
at her house the morning the Ken
drick safe was robbed. This and
other evidence which the sheriffs of
flee claims it can produce should
Donavan be brought here for trial,
tends very conclusively to connect the
prisoner with the crime, local officials

Should Donavan secure his freedom
from the charges of robbing the Mar
Gus postoffice, the postal inspection
department will bring him to Moscow
TO stand trial for the Kendrick rob-
berry. Hayes, arrested with Donavan,
was released no evidence having
been produced to connect him with
the robberies.
A search of Donavan's record in the
east proves that he has served both
in Iowa and Kansas penitentiaries for
safe-blowing, according to Deputy
Sheriff Hall, who went over the mat
ter with the postal authorities in Spo-
kane. Pictures obtained from east |
ern penal institutions where Donavan |
was incarcerated, prove that he is the |
same man who committed the eastern |
robberies, although he denies that he !

Saturday The event was a success
In every way; an unusually fine line
OF live stock had been listed for the
occasion and horses, cattle and hogs
all brought satisfactory prices.
The listings Of farm machinery,
furniture, tools, and other miscella-
neous stuff was not remarkably large
at the first sale but business in this
line will increase as the people come
TO recognize the value OF the mon

than 500 people, this being the esti-
mate of J. G. Beam who supplied the

Score Remarkable Success In the
Production OF 'Fanch0n the
Cricket" Friday Evening.


The five-act play "Fanchon the
Cricket" presented last Friday even
ing by the students of the Meridian
high school, was greeted by the lar
gest audience that ever witnessed al
entertainment here. The capacity Of
the fine new high school auditor
ium was taxed to the limit, about 500
people being present, and the inter
est that Meridian people take in any
thing connected with their schools
was shown by the fact that all OF
the reserved seats and many others
were secured several days in adj
vance.
The play, in point of excellence, ex-
ceeded all expectations and was a
splendid credit to the students par
ticipating and to Miss Eva Stevens,
under whose direction 1t was pro-
duced. so well were the various char
acters depicted and so elaborate the
costumes and stage settings that it
was difficult to realize that the en-
tire effect was the work of amateurs,
many of whom were making their in
itial appearance ON the stage.
The acting of Miss Pearl Stalker in
the title roll of ''Fanchon" was a de-
lightful surprise even to her friends
who were aware of her ability in this
line. Ralph Berry was exceedingly
clever in the leading male part of
Landry Barbeaud, land Eugene
Kaigler as Farmer Barbeaud." Ross
as Older, the half i'd
lot brother, Emma Stalker in the
part of Mother Barbeaud," Floy
Sims as cold Fadet," the witch,
Ruth Hashbarger as "Madelon," the
beauty of LaPriche, and William
Holman as Father Caillard" are all
entitled to mention for their share in
he success of the piece.
The proceeds of the entertainment
to $110.

FACE FUEL FAMINE.

AS result of the general tie-up In
railroad traffic throughout the north
west due to heavy snow storms, Mer-
idian, In common with other towns
OF southern Idaho, Oregon and Wash
ington. faces fuel famine that has
already assumed serious proportions.
Coal shipments have been delayed
for the past two weeks or more and
the local dealers in their appeals to
the railroad company for information
as to the location of the delayed cars
and the prspect of having them reach
their destinations have been unable
to get satisfactory replies. This has
kept the general public from laying
in large supplies of coal In anticipa-
ton of severe weather and the
heavy snow this week has proved to
be the climax to the already serious
situation.
Meridian coal dealers were entirely
out of coal Thursday night and al
though there are several carloads
billed for this point that are stalled
some place this side of Salt Lake,
there is absolutely no indication as to
when they will reach here. Unless
they should arrive within the next
two days there will be number Of
families in town and vicinity without
any fuel whatever except the almost
green slab-wood offered for sale
here.
Due to the lack of of coal the Mer-
idian high school closed Wednesday
night and the grade school Thurs
day night with the announcement
that they would reopen again Mon
day. This announcement was made,
It is stated. wholly contingent upon
the arrival of a supply OF coal by that
date.
