Stolen Seeds Located

Henry Eddy, residing west of town,
has been very busy OF late recleaning
quite a large amount of alfalfa and
sweet clover seed, which he raised
this year. Last Thursday morning,
on going out to resume his labors he
was surprised to find that during the
night some one had driven up with
team and wagon and did a whole
sale cleaning up for him, taking
about 100000 worth of seed.
Mr.. Eddy at once reported the fact
to the local sheriff, who went to Mr.
Eddy's place and, after investigating
was able to trace the thief for several
miles when the tracks we're los.
They returned to town and notified
all seed dealers in this part of the
state to be on the lookout for any
one trying to sell them any seeds as
mentioned. 1t was not long before
word was received from the Goodine
Milling and Elevator Co. that a par
ty had been there to sell seed but
they refused to buy. Mr.. Eddy and
others left at once fer Gooding where
: ley we're able to idcotify the seed
to their satisfaction and on being in.

Sudden Death of Mr.. ]. G. BealI


Friends of Mr.. ]. G.. Beall will
be very much surprised to learn of
his untimely death which occurred
last Thursday while he was engaged
in his work. Mr.. Beall had recently
made arrangements to rent a piece
OF land for the coming year and was
busily engaged making repairs and
alterations in some of the buildings
previous to moving his family. A
friend, who was helping Mr.. Beall
and working on the inside OF the
building heard something fall, but
paid no attention to It; later on hav-
ing occasion to go outside he found
Mr.. Beall prone upon the ground.
Hurrying to his side he found the
unfortunate man breathing his last
and although he did his utmost he
could not revive him. A doctor was
called but he could be OF no assist
ance.
Some years ago Mr.. Beall had a
similar attack, but was at home at
the time, where his wife soon re-
vived him.
Mr.. Beall came to Jerome about
one year ago from Georgia and had
decided to make this his home, as he
recently completed comfortable
home In the South part of town.
While this sudden death is sad,
1t is more so from the fact of the
large family left to mourn their loss i;
16 children having been born to the
family, eleven OF whom are living and
of these ten were at home, the young
est being a babe in arms.
]. G. Beall was born In Georgia
June 22nd, 1870. Died December
goth, 1917, aged AZ years 5 months
and 28 days. The deacesed was a
member Of the Christian church for
thirty years and the services were
held from the church here, Rev. Mr..
and Mrs. Organ and Mr.. Nell con-
Quoting them. Interment was at Je-
rome Cemetery.
