TOURISTS ROBBED
RETURNING FROM
PAHSIMEROI
Robbers Got Away With Cash ON
Desert Near CerrO Grande;
Salt LakerS Walk in

Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Marshall, Of
Salt Lake, were stopped by masked
highwaymen and robbed of 1851,
While returning in an Overland car
from fishing trip to the Pahsimeroi
valley last Thursday. 1t was 10
o'clock in the evening, on lonely
bit of road. Mr.. Marshall at the first
demand to stop tried to speed up
and the men opened fire on his radia-
tor, -As he threw on more power
something went wrong and his en-
gine stopped.
The hold-ups then approached,
tied Mr.. Marshall, took $51 from his
pockets, threw him out in the sage
brush, and proceeded to open suit
case which contained $500 in cash.
They took Mrs. Marshall's rings and
a watch and two other gold watches
found in the suit case.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall were then
freed and sent on their way afoot
since the car was disabled. They
got water from rancher and walked
48 hours with no food before they
reached the Delzer brothers ranch
on the west desert. The boys drove
them to Taber, on Sunday, where the
unfortunate campers were cared for
and helped on their journey to Idaho
Falls. County officers were notified,
but the outlaws have not yet been
located

BOMB IN MAIL SACK
EXPLODES AT BUTTE
Mail Clerk Slightly Hurt; Gar Wreck
ed and Some Mail Destroyed

The federal authorities are out
after the sender of bomb which
prematurely exploded in a mail sack
at Butte, doing considerable damage
to the mail car and wounding Mail
Clerk Winterowd, of Salt Lake city.
AS everything around it, mail and
sack, were blown into unrecognizable
condition it can only be guessed
where the Internal machine came
from, unless other clues are found.
A great deal of excitement has
been aroused over this matter in
Salt Lake, it having been declared
that the deadly explosive was intend
ed for Governor Spry, of Utah. The
only item in support of such an ex-
planation is that the governor was
much threatened by the l. W. W.
because he refused to save the life
of murderer, Hillstrom, an agita-
tor, whose life had been declared
forfeit by court and who was subse-
quently executed.
The Salt Lake Tribune in a strong
editorial asks if the federal govern
ment is going to allow governor
of state to be constantly persec1t-
ed and menaced because he would
not interfere with the laws of his
state in executing murderer.

BLACKFOOT BOYS RECEIVED
GALL TO THEIR REGIMENTS

Two young men Of Blackfoot left
Wednesday in answer to a call from
militia organizations to which they
belonged. They were e. B. Nogues
and Jesse Waddell, the former going
to Salinas, California, and the latter
to Boise, to join their respective
units.
Mr.. Nogues is a nephew of E. J..
Nogues, we'll known in Blackfoot as
"Frenchy," the restaurant keeper on
North Main. He said that so soon
as the boy, who was working for
him, had received telegram to come
to Salinas to join his cavalry troop
there was no more restaurant work
for him; he went straight off to get
a substitute for his place and to
pack up few belongings.
Mr.. Waddell has been living with
his mother in Blackfoot. Both men
have many friends, who gave them
quite a send-off at the station when
they departed.
A mobilization camp is being put
into shape at Boise and the various
companies of Idaho are ordered to
report there

ELECTRIC ROAD
THROUGH SNAKE
RIVER VALLEY
Capital Interested and May Com
menCe Survey at Once; Salt
Lake to Montana

According to the Idaho Register
of June 20, arrangements are COM
plete for survey to be made for
part of line that will go eventual
ly from aSlt Lake city to Yellowstone
park and Montana. The Utah Power
& Light company has power plant
at Grace, Idaho, and another at Ida
no Falls, so that with a few more
at points further up the valley the
line could be we'll supplied with elec-
tricity. The road contemplated at
present will lie between the Utah
line and Pocatello.
The Eccles interurban electric line
now runs from Ogden north into
southern Idaho, tapping a rich ter
ritory, and developing in it the dairy
and orchard industries. An electric
line is not absolutely necessary to the
success of this valley, but it would
help lot, and now that capital has
begun to look this way, it seems not
altogether an improbable step.

SUSPECT MAY HAVE
KILLED EMPEY GIRL
AT IDAHO FALLS
Man Arrested i'm Salt Lake for Attack
Says He was i'm Idaho
Last April

That Elmer Grant, alias John
Smyth, the man who attempted to
assault two little west side girls
Thursday night, may have been con-
|nected with the murder of Alice En-
|pey, nine years of age, near Ammon,
Idaho, April 16, was the opinion of
the police after they had subjected
the man to a severe grilling yester-
day. After Grant had told several
conflicting stories, he admitted to the
officers that he was within mile of
Ammon, Idaho, on the day of the
murder and had been Overtaken by
one of his spells, which he said made
him irresponsible. However, he de-
MED any knowledge of the murder.
Grants whereabouts during the
past month were verified last night
by j. Marshall a rancher of Union,
Utah, who said he employed Grant
as a ranch hand. He worked there
about a month, Marshall said. On
the day of the Empey murder, which
was one of the most atrocious crimes
ever committed in Idaho, Grant said
he was near Ammon and went to a
ouSdI ldCIOl Ill oOdlCu VI WOl N. LIC
failed to obtain employment, he said,
and, overcome by disappointment,
wandered away from the town, Over
come by a spell, he said he was un-
able to account for his whereabouts
until several days later. The police
are now Investigating this story.
When the body of the little En-
pey girl had been found nearly a
month after the crime was committed
it was found that the body had been
mutilated by sharp knife or razor.
When arrested Grant reached for
knife with which to attack the Of
fcers. This knife, an exceptionally
large one, was found to have an edge
equal to a razor in sharpness and the
police believe that it may prove to
be the same weapon that killed the
Empey girl.-Salt Lake Tribune.

DEMOCRATS NOMI-
NATE WILSON AND
MARSHALL TO LEAD
Plank, But Wilson Wins Out

So small was the element of sur
prise in the Democratic national con-
vention last week, that it has been
referred to as "the funeral at St.
Louis"
The party platform was accepted
exactly as approved by the president,
with it's plank on Americanism and
it's favoring of woman suffrage. 1t
says this:
1--WE favor the extension of the
franchise to the women of this
country, state by state, on the same
terms as to the men,
A minority headed by Governor
Ferguson, of Texas, opposed this
plank and offered substitute
which leaned restfully upon the
principle of states rights. Senator
Walsh won the fight for the Wilson
idea of the proper suffrage plank
He emphasized the fact that the
president knew it was in the plat
form and that it must be best that
way.
Women Not Content
The leaders of the women's party
and the suffrage association both de-
nounced the Democratic plank as not
sufficient, declared their intention to
go to Washington to give congress
one more chance to make good in
the matter. They also sent a tele-
gram to President Wilson asking him
to interpret the suffrage plank.
According to the women and some
others, too, the suffrage part of the
Democratic platform looks to be
merely bait for votes Mrs. Gait, a
prominent suffragist, said:
"No suffragist, who was present
at the convention today, could mis-
interpret either the speeches or the
action taken by the Democratic party
in adopting the alleged woman suff-
rage plank in it's national platform.
"The Democrats admitted freely in
their speeches that political exig
ency' demanded some kind of suff-
rage plank, and they thought to
hoodwink the women by a tumble
of words that were designed to meet
the situation, but in no sense sue
ceeded."

DRY FARMER TOOK LAW
INTO HIS OWN HANDS

Will BrafOrd, who lives out in that
promising tract of country called the
desert, came home from his days
work one evening last week to find
that he had been robbed. Some per-
son passing thru the community had
laid hands on almost everything he
could carry away and had disappear
ed with the loot.
Mr.. Braford took a good nights
sleep, rose early in the morning and
set out horseback looking for the
robber. He overlook the fellow at
Cerro Grande and marched him back
over the weary miles to put back
the stolen goods just where he had
found them. This seemed punish
mept enough, so the man was not
deat with further

i. s. TROOPERS AMBUSHED
40. KILLED IN MEXICO
A TWO HUNDRED MILE RACE

On the second of July long string
of riders will make race on motor
cycles from Salt Lake city to Black
foot, starting at o'clock in the
morning and arriving at Blackfoot
soon after noon.
Last year the race was made on
the thirtieth of May, and the first
rider reached Blackfoot at o'clock.
Forty-seven men were reported to
have started but we were able to list
only 20, and not all of them got thru.
Several had bad accidents and some
of them came on thru notwithstand-
ing their condition. The prizes
amounted to about $500, half of
which was raised at Blackfoot among
the business men.
1t is expected that more men will
engage in the race this year than
last The roads are in much better
condition, the riders are better ac-
quainted with the road, and arrange
ments are being made to have the
public along the way as we'll Informed
as possible so the road will be kept
clear of loads of hay, bands of cattle
and everything that makes it hard
for the racers to get by quickly. 1t
will be quite notable event, will be
watched by thousands of people liv-
ing along the way and many people
will motor into Blackfoot to see the
finish. On Monday the riders will
rest from their trip, will be the
guests of the town and on Tuesday
the champions will contest for final
honors on the race track at the
Blackfoot fair grounds.
The distance from Salt Lake to
Blackfoot by the interstate road now
measures 200.3 miles and lies thru
Brigham, Collingston, Malad, Downey
McCammon and Pocatello.

COMMUNITY is GRATEFUL

During the recent national con
ventions at Chicago the people OF
Blackfoot and community were kept
informed thru the Mountain States
Telephone & Telegraph company, of
the proceedings in convention. 1t
was secured by Manager l.. ]. Chap
man and put in form by him at the
sacrifice of many hours of tedious
labor and promptly given to the press
to place before the public in bulletins.
People living far out on the plains
who had phones or who could get to
phones, kept in touch with Chicago
by ringing The Republican office. The
generosity of the telephone company
in loading up with this extra service
for public benefit is in keeping with
their desire to serve.

AROUND THE COURT HOUSE
State Experimental Farm Endanger-
ed; Court AdjOurns Till June
%; Jail to be Empty

The state of Idaho has an expert
mental farm near Aberdeen and it
has water right, canal and bitches
for irrigation. Suit has recently been
filled by the state saying that Con
|Creane and Dennis Walsh, who have
land on the line of the states lateral
just above the experiment. farm, had
|cut their lateral, placed diversion
gates and boxes in it and obstructed
the states water from passing to its
destination and made such arrange
ments as would divert it to their own
use. When protest had been made
about it, one of the parties had re-
fused to desist from their alleged il
legal acts and had declared that if
their gates and boxes were molested
he would use violence.
The state thru it's Representatives
and attorneys brought suit in the dis
trict court, praying that Creane and
Walsh be enjoined from further de-
priving the state of it's rights in the
use of the water and that they be
prevented from doing what promised
to be an irreparable damage to the
crops of the state. The complaint
was sworn to by L. G. Aicher, sup
erintendent of the experimental
farm.
W. L. West, who was charged with
using deadly weapon with intent to
do bodily harm on the person of F.
IS. Fackrell, was pronounced guilty
and sentenced to from nine months
to two years in prison. The travel
ing guard was expected last night to
take him to Boise and this would
leave the Bingham county jail empty

Cavalry Meets Mexican Force South
of El Paso Losses Heavy
ON Both Sides

General Funston received word
Wednesday that a troop of American
cavalry had met Mexican detach-
ment 80 miles south of Ell Paso near
Ct,rrizal, with heavy losses to both.
Verification must come later, but as
to the number killed only Mexican
reports had been received, and they
said 40 Americans were killed, most
ly by deadly fire of machine guns.
It was also reported that the color
ed regiment under Pershing, the
Tenth cavalry, had engaged a band
OF Mexican soldiers. Mexican raids
are now expected all along the bord-
er, especially up the Santa Cruz val
ley.
This news, it is said, struck the
Washington officials and executives
like a thunderbolt."

BLACKFOOT CHAUTAUQUA
UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS
Thousands Attend Each Session and All Vote
for Chautauqua Next Year---Carried Away
with High Quality of Entertainment

The large, brown chautauqua tent
on the Central school grounds had
need to be as large as it is, and on
several occasions it's capacity was
over-taxed and people had to stand.
Never before have such crowds turn
ed out in Blackfoot. Even the cool,
windy weather that came Wednesday
band day, had not the slightest effect
upon the attendance, which on that
very day was greater than on the
previous days
The last entertainment, which will
be the Kaffir boy choir, this evening,
(Friday) will open at 1880 instead
of 500 because the big tent must
be taken down, packed and loaded
on the cars for the o'clock train,
after the performance.
Here are a few synopses of the
various entertainments:

BACK FROM CHICAGO

Senator L. r. Thomas arrived
home from Chicago, Saturday, having
been in attendance at the national
convention as a delegate from Idaho.
He took some side trips going and
coming and stopped off at various
cities to see friends or things of in
terest.
Mr.. Thomas said that besides hav-
ing splendid trip he satisfied his
desire to study cities in many respects
and see how they build and beautify
the residence districts and how they
make the business sections clean and
practical.
We suggest that Mr.. Thomas be
put on the gridiron at the next mems
dinner and invited to talk some on
those subjects and give his fellow
townsmen the benefit Of his observa-
tions.

WALKED AWAY
WITH THE SUNDAY GAME

In spite of some good work, es-
pecially by Keltu3, Blackfoot lost
Sundays came with the mixed team
at Pocatello, the score closing at
eight to two.
Lack of practice seems the most
apparent reason for the sabbath
downfall. The whole town has seldom
got together at any one time for
practice and a large number Of er-
rors was the result.
Keltus starred with the bat, but
allowed few hits in the latter part
