Was Traced by Sheriff's
Office Over Many States
And Narrowly Escaped
Capture Number of Times.
WILL BE BROUGHT
HERE FOR TRIAL.
Charged With Murderous Assault
Oh His Wife in Which he Inficte,
More than Twenty Knife Wounds.
Woman Recovered.

Charles c. Sandusky, who has been
wanted in this county since last
August for the attempted murder OF
his wife at Glenns Ferry, was cap
tured at El paso, Texas, and Is now
being held in jail there, according to
advice received from F. r. Bailey,
chief of police at Lardsburg, in that
state, who was instrumental In his
capture.
Since Sandusky's sensational es-
cape from capture, when the entire
village of Glenns Ferry was on his
trail, Immediately after the commits
sion of the crime, the sheriff's Office
has heard from him in many different
places, and has kept up a dilligent
search for him, more than 1000 let
ters and cards having been sent out
in the effort to apprehend him.
Papers for his extradition to this
state will be prepared at once and 1t
is probable that Sheriff Stevens will
make the trip to Texas to bring back
the prisoner within few days.
The crime with which Sandusky Is
charged is one OF peculiar brutality.
He escaped from the village jail in
Glenns Ferry, where he was confined
on charge of ill-treating his wife,
and going to his home, sliced the
woman, who was the mother of an
infant only few weeks old. with a
knife, inhieting 90 wounds, any one
of which might have proved fatal.
He then escaped while a Gordon OF
men surrounded the entire town, and
II was believed for several days that
he had thrown himself into Snake
river and drowned. He was later
heard from at Ogden, and other
points further east. the last at De-
troit Michigan, from which city he
fled just before the officers appeared
to arrest him.

HOW DID LOCAL
GOSSIP EVER KEEP
OUT OF THIS ONE?

A few days ago rumor was re-
ported to the Public Safety Com
nittee of the Blaine County Council
of Defense, which the committee has
carefully investigated with the fol-
lowing results:
The statement reaching the COM
mittee was that Mrs. G. A. Scott
had stated that a soldier in France
had written letter to friend in
this country, among other things
saying Save the stamp on this
letter as you will not hear from me
again" The stamp being removed,
underneath was found the notation,
81 am starving"
The committee called upon Mrs
Scott. who referred for authority to
Miss Jennie Gilman, who referred us
to Reta Fator, who referred to her
sister, ETA Fator. now attending
school in Boise.
The local committee asked the
assistance of the State Council OF
Defence. who sent a representative
to call upon Miss Eta Fator, who re-
ferred to Miss Florence Brennan,
who referred to Miss Mary Fauth.
who referred to Mrs. Charles Jurries
of Parma Idaho
The State Council upon writing
to Mrs. Jurries received a reply that
the matter was talked about in
Parma a long time ago. II do not
remember the name OF the party
who told me, but think the story
was started in Parma by boy home
from Camp Lewis on furlough,
who said he understood that boy
in France had sent letter to his
sister in the IT, s. A. containing
similar statement" Mrs. Jurries re-
piled.
The State Council intends to pur-
sue the matter further and hope to
be able before the end OF the war TO
find the original source.
The State Council closes one OF its
letters to us by saying 1--WE are OBJ
solutely sure there is nothing to the
story and we feel sure you are justi-
fed in telling your people that Uncle
Sam is mighty good Daddy and is
fairly moving heaven and earth to do
all he can for the comfort of his
splendid soldiers. HALEY Times.

income TAX Will BE PAID BY MORE
THAN SIX MILLION PEOPLE IN 1918

Have you filed your income tax
return? If not, this article which
has been prepared with the approval
OF T. S. Revenue experts tells you
how, when and where to do it. The
first thing to be understood is that
the income tax applies only to your
income for the calendar year 1917.
Your income for prior years and your
estimated income for 1918 are not TO
be considered.
The War Revenue Act of October
3 1917 provides for a normal rate
of tax of per cent on net incomes
of unmarried PERSONS in excess Of
$1,000 and upon incomes Of married
persons or heads of families in ex-
cess of $4,000. If you are unmarried
and your income for 1917 was $1,000
or more you must get q tax blank

FOOD SAVING WILL
BE ENFORCED
New Rules Require Use of
Wheat Substitutes and
Curtail Consumption of
Sugar.

Local merchants have received and
posted copies of the new rules of the
Idaho food administration, the essen
tial gist of which is as follows;
In compliance with the proclama
ton of President Wilson, dated jan
uary 9th, the Idaho Food Admins
tration has established the following
rulings.
No retailer shall sell flour to any
customer in city in excess of a
4 -bbl. sack, nor shall he sell flour
to any customer in the country in
excess of a to u bbl. sack.
In every instance before making
such sale the retailer must satisfy
himself by a certificate in writing
that the customer has a supply Of
substitute in his or her possession,
or such customer must buy one or
more of the officially designated sub
stitutes at the time of the sale of
flour in the proportion Of one part
substitute to two parts of -four.
In computing the substitutes re-
quired under these regulations po-
toes may be considered a substitute
to the extent of per cent Of the re-
quired amount thereof at the ratio
of four pounds of potatoes to one
pound of other substitute.
1t will be deemed a violation of
the Food Control Act in every in
stance where any customer buys or
has in his or her POSSESSION more
than a sufficient quantity of -four or
sugar for reasonable requirements
for a thirty days supply whether
this -four is bought from one retailer
or several retailers. There are no
exceptions to this requirement in
favor of anyone This regulation
forbidding the possession by any in
dividual, firm or corporation TO have
more than thirty days supply Of
-four, sugar, apples with like force to
private homes, boarding houses, res
taurants, hotels sheep camps, log
ging camps, mining camps or any
other institutions.
THE Idaho Food Administration
will expect, requests and imposes up
on all citizens of Idaho the patriotic

duty Of notifying the food admin
strator's office of any violation or
violations OF these regulations either
by consumers or by retailers When
violations are reported request is
made that the name OF the alleged
yiolator be given, the specific in
stance of the violation be reported
aud the date thereof be furnished as
nearly as possible All such reports
Of violations win be treated as con
ddential
Every effort will be made to Sc
cure cooperation by appeals to good
sense and patriotic spirit. All trade
organizations commercial clubs,
lodges and gatherings Of retailers in
particular localities are requested to
pass resolutions pledging themselves
and the citizens of their communi-
ties to a loyal cooperation.
Where the quantity Of flour or
ugar sold or where 'the consumer
has on hand quantity of -four or
sugar in excess of requirements for a
essonable time, there is a distinct
violation of the Food Act Indivio-
ual boarding is essentially treason
able and the public should so under
stand it. In fagrant cases the
names Of parties guilty of boarding
will be published and neither their
prominence nor their obscurity will
have anything to do with the deter
mination of this Administration to
50 publish them.
