HELPED CAPTURE COLE
YOUNGER
Wm@ Pratt, q Visitor Here, Had
Part in Running Down
Desperate.

Emmett has as visitor one of the
men who assisted in the capture c1
Cole Younger, the noted desperate
and his associates, following the
Mortified, Mimi, bank robbery. He
is William Pratt, now a resident OF
Harrington, Wash, who arrived few
days ago to visit his son John Pratt
former resident of the Squaw Greek
country.
Mr.. Hart is a gray haired man and
is well along in years, but he has a
vivid recollection of the exciting
events connected with the robbery OF
the Northfield bank, having been a
resident of that city, and the trailing
and capture of Cole Younger and his
band.
There were five men in the band,
says Mr.. Pratt in relating his expert
enee. When the robbery occurred
posses were organized and large
number of the citizens of that section
were sworn In as deputies. Mr.. Pratt
was one Of them, and he and COM
panion were sent as watchers to a
bridge about five miles out of North
field. The robbers chose that route in
endeavoring to make their escape, and
when they passed over the bridge, Mr..
Pratt was beneath the bridge, while
his companion was hidden behind a
tree on the other side of the stream.
The robbers were on horseback. AS
soon as the robbers had passed out of
light, Mr.. Pratt hurried back to North
field to report and posses were quickly
on the trail. The running fight that
followed and the capture of Cole
Younger are matters of history.
A nephew of Cole Younger, who is
also his namesake, is rancher near
Meridian.

WOMAN PERIsHEs IN
FLAMES
Mrs. SERVER, Pioneer of Garden
Valley, Burned to Death
in Home.

| Mrs. Christy SERVER was burned to
death Wednesday afternoon about
$3.50 o'clock when her home in Garden
valley was destroyed by fire. Two
sons of the unfortunate woman had
left the ranch house after supper, one
going down the valley and the other
to the field. Suddenly the house was
seen by the latter son to be in flames
and he rushed back. However. SO en-
veloped was the structure with fire
that he was unable to locate his
mother, who was quite heavy and
aged, and he hurried to neighbor for
aid. No check was possible to the
flames and work of rescue was forced
to wait until the house was complete
ly destroyed. Then the charred body
of Mrs. SERVER was discovered in the
debris and removed.
Mrs. SERVER had attended the fun
eral of friend in the valley and had
returned to her farm in the upper
valley on the Middle fork She with
her sons, David and Arthur, had an
early supper and that was the last
time either of the two men saw their
mother. Two fires were burning in
the home when the men left-one in
the sittingroom and the other in the
kitchen stove. Cause of the fire prob
ably was from one of these stoves.
The house was two-story frame
building.
The deceased was rs years Of aga.
She was one of the earliest settlers
of that section and was known far and
wide. To the settlers who came later
she was helper and friend, and in theie
financial difficulties rendered valuable
assistance. She is survived by two
sons. The funeral was held this after
noon from the Rachel Craig residence
