TRUSTY MAKES
DEADLY ATTACK
AT ST. ANTHONY
Basil Key Assaults John
Dickson Inflicting Seri.
Gus Injuries; Robs VIC
tim and Frees 2 Oth-
er Industrial Boys.

ST. ANTHONY. = "I'm gettin,
$1,000 for this job" remarked Basi
Key, trusty at the state industrial
school at st. Anthony, as he pro
ceeded to hammer the nightwatch
man. John w. Dickson, into state
of insensibility Saturday night, &C.
cording to the story which Dickson
told the authorities when he re.
covered consciousness after the as
sault
Key robbed Dickson of his money
and keys and then opened up one
of the dormitories and released Bert
Skidmore and James Frazier and
the three are believed to have stolen
a new automobile and made their
escape. Late Sunday night they
were sill at large. Dickson is in a
critical condition in the hospital.
Uses Blunt Instrument
The assault was made on Dickson
with blunt instrument as he was
making the rounds of the institu-
ton. Key, who had been acting as
night engineer for several months
at small salary, was considered one
of the most trustworthy of the in
mates and would shortly have been
parOled.
Frazier and Skidmore, both of
Twin Falls, were considered among
the trustworthy inmates of the in
Tstituti0n and Superintendent WILL
Jams is at loss to understand the
motives actuating such desperate
measures. He has offered SUBJ
stantial rewards for the apprehen-
sion of the trio and announces that
no expense will be spared to bring
them to justice. Frazier is nineteen
and Skidmore eighteen years of age.
Source of $1,000 Not Disclosed
The story of the assault was not
learned until after Dickson had re-
covered consciousness and told of
Key saying he was to receive $1,000
for the release of the other boys.
From whom he was to receive the
money has not been diclosed.
Apparently the plot had been UNI
der consideration for some time and
Saturday night was considered as
most opportune. The fact that |
Dickson was doing his last night as
Waterman lends color to this idea.
Dickson was to have taken charge of |
the construction crew at the institu-
ton Monday. Key had apparently
bided his time and studied the rou-
tine duties Of the Waterman and as
saulted him at the most favorable
time.
The physician in attendance upon
Dickson expressed the opinion Sun
day night that his patient would pro-
badly recover, altho his condition
was extremely serious.
Mr. and Mrs. Dickson came here
from Boise, where both are we'll
known. Mrs. Dickson was prominent

Cooperation in
Sheep Grazing

Groups of small sheep growers on
the Minidoka reclamation project,
Idaho, where approximately 500 set
tiers are producing sheep on their
farms, are consolidating their flocks
into larger bands for summer graz
ing. A field man of the U. s. depart
ment of agriculture is assisting in
the work. The experiment in coop
erative grazing was tried in 1917
with two range bands and the results
were so satisfactory that the number
of bands has been increased to four
this season. Approximately 5000
sheep, representing twenty-four
small flocks, make up the four bands,
which will be grazed on the Sawtooth
national forest. The farmers act as
a unit in their dealings with the for
est service and cooperate in furnish
ing supplies and equipment and in
the necessary herders and
camp movers. Thru this co-opera-
ton 1t is possible for the small sheep
growers to realize the benefits of in
expensive summer grazing for their
fiocks. The idea also is being tried
this season on several other reclama-
ton projects.

ARMY MEDICAL
DECLARES WAR ON
FLIES AND MOSQUITOES

Special attention is being given by
the medical department of the army
in all camps to cleaning up spots
where mosquitoes and flies breed.
In some cases 1t has been necessary
to dig channels in streams, drain
swamps, and put in elaborate ditch
ing systems to clean up stagnant
pools and streams. In cases where
it has been impossible or impractical
able to drain swamps and do similar
work, there has been installed
system for keeping slow-moving
streams and still bodies of water
covered with oil. At all points
within the camp where there is the
slightest possibility of mosquitoes or
flies breeding daily spraying of oil
is done.
Arrangement have been completed
with the federal public health service
to carry out a similar program in
the territories adjacent to the camps.
The health service has agreed to fill
boys, open streams, and drain

might tell you the effect all this has
had on our soldiers. l never thought
1t was in them, but as they have
witnessed the suffering of the
wounded, the heavy burden of the
poor and the barbarity of the enemy,
new determination has been theirs
to lend their strength and manhood
to the cause for which English and
French are fighting.
1T is pathetic to note their ankle
ty to master the difficulties of pro-
nunciation of the French language.
Not that they may hold converse
with pretty girls, for alas, very few
are left in the villages. They have
gone to the munition factories, dis
pensaries, there to do their bit. Not
for these l say, but to cheer the
Frenchman and to assure him that
heart and soul he is with him in this
fight. Well, I suppose must stop

FOR the long, CHEEKY letters help so
much in keeping up the spirits of the

THE IDAHO REPUBLICAN
LATAH COUNTY FARMER
UNDER ESPIONAGE CHARGE
Cited to Appear and Answer July o
for HOarding Wheat and Re-
marks Considered DisiOyal

According to information reach
ing federal authorities here Thurs
day, ]. w. Brigham, a farmer of
Latah county living near Genessee,
was arrested Wednesday, under the
espionage act and given a hearing
before the United States commits
sioner there. He was released upon
his own recognizance, and cited to
appear July to answer the charges
filed against him.
The CONTROVERSY arose over al
legged boarding Of food by the farmer
who refused to give up surplus -four
or wheat held by him. During the
controversy, he is alleged to have
stated to L. F.. Parsons and Herbert
D. Marin that If they took his flour
that would be just as bad as Ger
many, and he would as soon be there
as here, and that he would not be
dictated to by any government about
his personal affairs.
Brigham, it is stated, has served
his county in the state senate and
was a member of the constitutional
convention. The people of his sec
ton are surprised and shocked at his
conduct and alleged seditions utter
ances against the government.

Satan as Bible Student.
We will consider the devil in four.
guises tonight: as a Bible student, as

DISCUSSES but his deceitful methods
do not change. AS a Bible student he
has been diligent and has has an excel
lent memory. He can quote Scripture
with far greater accuracy than the
average Christian. There has scarce
ly been a notorious and nefarious en-
terprise that has not seemed to have
the sanction of Scripture. Slavery
found many defenders from the pull
pits. Prosecutions have been most
severe when under the direction Of
Holy Church. The polygamists of to-
day point with an air of 1nality to
the examples of Abraham and Solo
mon! Especially do the anti-war and

Scripture texts. Some of the most
pious men have been hard taskmas-
tiers. A memory knowledge OF the
Word signifies little. We are not to
mistake verbal piety for religion.

Is very much at home. He writes for
