FIVE MELONS COST.
S100
Two Melon Thieves Arrested in
South Slope Patch and
Fined $50 Each

William Wright and Gilbert Good
man, two young men of Canyon, liv-
ing near Caldwell, were arrested last
Thursday by Sheriff Nichols on the
charge of stealing watermelons from
Marion Wilson's patch on his South
Slope farm, taken before Judge
Sutton and fined $50 each. They had
five melons in their possession.
The two men, with Jack McCor-
mick, were on their way to Caldwell
from the upper country. When pass
ing the Marion Wilson place, they
concluded to help themselves to water
melons and loaded five on their wa
gon. Wilson saw them and succeeded
in heading them off. When he order
ed them to stop, one reached for a
gun lying back of him in the wagon,
and told Wilson to get out of the way
or he would give him the contents of
his Winchester. Wilson got out of
the way, and telephoned to Sheriff
Nichols, who started with an auto and
overlook them about five miles
farther on. When he ordered the men
to stop and told them they were un-
der arrest, one said that he had
eaten better men for breakfast than
Nichols was down in Texas. But
when they saw the sheriff's gun they
Mccormick escaped. The
prisoners were unable to pay their
fines and were put to work leveling
the court house grounds and parkings.
Melon raisers are determined to put
a stop to the stealing of melons and
it is hoped that the arrest and punish
ment of these men will be stern
warning to others.

All Should Fight Blight

In letter renewing his subscrip-
ton to The Index, c. c. Bryant,
owner of fine tract of land on the
bench, offers the following good sug-
gestions concerning the control of
blight of fruit trees:
81 suppose you are aware that Mrs.
Bryant has been in Emmett for the
past three months looking after our
orchard tract on the bench. We have
seeded orchard to alfalfa. Next sea-
son, if prospects are favorable, will
build a cottage and make such other
improvements as are necessary. The
hardest work she has had this year Is
fighting the blight. 1t seems to me
there should be laws passed in Idaho
forcing orchardists to control blight
as much as possible, keep it cut out,
as l see it. 1t will be of little use for
one or two in a district to fight this
disease, as l understand blight
spreads very rapidly, l think this
would be a good thing to take up
through your paper. Am very much
pleased to know our little city is GO
ing to have a sawmill. 1t certainly
should be of great benefit"
