lying along by the railroad, and on in
vestigation found them 10 belong to T.
E. Houston, being taken from his store
in October at the time his store wass
dynamited. The papers We're in good
condition and evidently had not been
long exposed to the weather. At the
same time suspicious looking cliaIsac-
ter had been loafing about the railroad
in the vicinity. Something seemed to-
connect the man and the papers in
Donovan's plastic mind. Soon the fei-
low took up his abode in a freight car
Donovan got the seriff who also oceiI-
pied the car. The sheriff was more
/ inquisitive than the best social form
warrants. He found on the person of
the stranger a goodly quantity of bur-
glar TOOLS and some three dozen pocket
knives since identified by Mr.. Brush
as the knives stolen from his store IL
Richheld last summer 1t is likely that
evidence will connect him with recent
Dietrich robbery as well as one at
Richfeld.
Christmas was glorious day in and
about Dietrich The weather was such
that hereafter we shall be disposed to
look for summer Christmasses. Every
body seemed to be entertaining or be-
ng themselves entertained. The family
of j. F. Houston entertained the fam
lily of Prof F. c. Smith Mr.. and Mrs.
Glenn Kershner entertained his father
and mother and the family of w. G.
Dooley, her parents. also her brother
Ed Dooley, and family. 0. E. Borden
and family went to Shoshone where
they feasted with the family Of c. F.
Borden. The W. T. Patterson family
held a sort of reunion at the hotel with
Mr.. and Mrs L. P. Mustard James
Patterson, Warner Patterson and their
families and many others of the Pat
terson children We're in evidence there.
Mr.. and Mrs. George D. SAVERS went
home to Shoshone to spend the day
with his parents. Mr.. and Mrs. John
w. SAVERS and the children and grant
children. Mr. and Mrs. S. S. king
We're the delighted guests of Mr. ard
Mrs. J. NJ. Clark. Mr.. and Mrs. Claude
Myers and Mr. and Mrs. James Nc
Clure and their children were enter
tanned by Mrs. and Miss Leightheiser.
and Mr.. and Mrs Thomas ClaspiH took
care of the Carnegie and Sine families.
All in all it was a good old style social
time
The Dietrich Tract is a small portion
of the great state of Idaho lying around
the village Of Dietrich 1t is noted for
several things. among them the fact
that J. NJ. Clark lives there When
the people of the state want something
done they call on him. Some time aeo
they wanted one hundred million dlol-
las for the Red Cross and called on
Clark. They got it and more. Ten
days ago they wanted ten million new
for the Red Cross and called
on Clark and got them: notwithstand-
ing they had all joined before. there
were 175 new ones found on the Die
trich tract
The youngsters had a dance on the
Dietrich tract on Christmas night. Even
hat of itself was awful as to the time.
But. horror of horrors. They had it in
he public school building. They had
/ little money left after paying ex-
,enses and. oh horrors! they gave it
o the Red Cross! Tainted money.
IAN the Red Cross use it? Will not
hese few dollars-eleven of them
hus poisoned and corrupted, will they
lot defile the millions of dollars held
" the Red Cross? Can any sufferins
older in a French hospital take any
ssistance without a shudder lest the
elp coming to him be contaminated
v these tainted dollars?
O. E. Borden is no wengaged in build
lg an addition to his store building
Someone will probably correct our
st of those people who enter
lined others or were entertained by
theirs. 1t will be seen that I have
nmitted the names of James p. Kelley
nd S. A. Washburn. But they went
trough the motions too. Kelly went
