Younger to Industrial
School.

Judge Varian, who succeeds the late
Judge Smith on the district court
bench, today sentenced Ed Bradford to
the state prison for an indeterminate
Rutherford to the industrial school
at st. Anthony. These are the two
young men who held up Mrs. Lou
Obermeyer and John Carpenter with
a gun while they were coming from
Boise Sunday night. The story Of the
hold-up sounds like page from 3
dina novel. Mrs. Lou Obermeyer had
gone to Boise in her car to take her
husband to catch train for Pocatelo.
John Carpenter was prevailed upon
to accompany them as a protection to
-2kss. Obermeyer on the journey home.
They left Boise about 1870. When
about . mile out Of Boise they caught
mp with two young men, who signalled
them to stop and asked for a ride.
Their request was granted. When
Eagle was reached the boys were in
formed that the car was bound for
Emmett and would turn north from
there They replied they wanted to
go mile that way. When mile
was reached the ear was stopped for
them to get out. Immediately after
ward one of the boys pulled a.
-caliber Colts revolver and requested
Mrs. Obermeyer and Mr. Carpenter
to alight and turn the car over to
them. Mrs. Obermeyer pleaded to be
carried nearer Emmett in order that
she might be in walking distance Of
home. This request was granted and
with the two hold-ups in the back seat
with the gun ready for action, the ear
was driven to the corner of Fourth
and Johns in Emmett, arriving about |
1:30. The two men took the car and
disappeared. Mrs. Obermeyer and Mr..
Carpenter at once reused the w. G..
Little family and telephoned Sheriff I
KIepper and other places, but could I
not rouse any one. Finally they got /
Lee Miles, who reused the sheriff. Mrs
Henry Obermeyer was also summoned.
Sheriff Klepper and Mrs. Henry
aObermeyer took the road for Ontario
and Weiser and Mrs. Lou Obermeyer,
Mr.. Carpenter and Mr.. Miles went
south, turned on the Middleton road
About a mile this side of Middleton,
the stolen car was found in ditch and
the two men in it taking nap. They
were brought to Emmett and turned
over to county authorities. The stolen
car was not damaged
The sheriff and Mrs. Henry Ober-
meyer learned at Payette that car
with two men in it had passed through
going west The two followed the
trail to Huntington, where they were
caught by phone and informed of the
of the hold-ups.
At their preliminary trial Monday
the young highwaymen entered plea
Of guilty and were placed in the Can
yen county jail until this morning,
when they were brought before Judge
Varian, and were sentenced as noted :
lbout- Deputy Sheriff Sutton took
Bradford to the penitentiary in Boise I
his afternoon, and Sheriff Klepper !
took Rutherford to ST. Anthony.
Ed Bradford is 18 years old. His
mother lives in Boise and his father :
1t Nyssa, they being divorced. Harold
is II year of age and his
mother and stepfather, Chris Myers,
