BARMON,S STORE BURGLARIZED.

Last Thursday night burglars forced
an entrance into Harry Barmon's s
gents furnishing store. on Main street
near Railroad avenue and so far as the
proprietor can roughly estimate goods
to the value of $3.50 stolen. Entrance
was made from the rear of the build
ing where it was necessary to break
through two doors in order to reach
the store room. Both doors were fast
ened with locks and latches. A crowbar
or jimmy was used to pry open the
doors. Upon reaching the store Friday
morning Mr.. Barmon discovered both
doors open and upon examining his
stock found two suits of clothing miss
ing, several pairs of shoes and a few
other articles. The thieves may even
have gotten away with more than Mr.
Barmon misses at the time. Two
sweaters among the lutte were found
outdoors where they had been dropped
Suspicion pointed to two young men
in town who had been looking at and
pricing the very two suits that are
missing and they were placed under
arrest. but there being absolutely no
evidence that could be used to fix the
guilt upon the alleged suspects they
were discharged from custody One of
the accused could furnish a strong
alibi, as he was home Thanksgiving
night, place where he is seldom to
be found after dusk. Oroville has been
fortunate in having but very few rob-
berries in the past dozen years. but the
wave of crime passing over the coun-
try seems to have washed few light
fingered gentry this way. as a number
of petty theiveries have been reported
to the officers of late.

THEY WILL WIN OUT.

Monday morning Carl Schultz and
Kenneth Reed left for San Francisco
where they will enter Heald's Busi-
ness college and take thorough
course in automobile mechanics. Two
more Industrious and promising young
lads cannot be found in the state, and
young as they are they have demon
strated that success is going to mark
their future career. Their record goes
to prove that the prevailing cry that
the age of opportunity has passed for
the young man Is pure nonsense, and
that any young man can succeed who
has the will power, the vim and the
determination to succeed. Carl Schultz
has an old head on young shoulders.
He Is but II years of age. Three years
ago he had severe attack of the flu
and his physician said he could not
return to school. Even prior to that
time he had developed business acu-
men that would have done credit to a
man of mature years. Knowing his
capacity, his father, Amel Schultz, ad-
vanced the money to buy Carl light
motor delivery wagon and the boy
started in the express and delivery
business. For three years he has stuck
to the job, never losing day for tri-
vial causes. Work was a pleasure to
him. While other lads were squander-
ing their time in play and pleasure
Carl was attending strictly to bust
ness. During the three years he paid
back his father for the original invest
ment in the truck, purchased much
larger one, kept himself, and when he
decided to start to school had saved
up $1,000. Considering the limitations
or small town can you beat it? Carl
goes away to perfect himself in every
phrase of auto handling and auto con-
strucuon. Most boys would figure on
having good time in a large city
while going to school, but with this
exceptional lad it is different He de-
clared that when once established in
school it was his intention to find
work he could do at odd hours, thus
helping to pay his board and tuition.
Young Schultz's associate, Kenneth
Reed, is a chip off the same block In
dustrious, careful and saving Kenneth
who is 1S years old, has been working
hard during the past year or more,
saving up every penny to perfect him
self in any line of endeavor of his
choice when the chance presented.
The two boys have been almost insep-
arabic since the Reed family took up
their residence in Oroville, and when
young Schultz decided to go to San
Francisco to enter business college
Kenneth elected to accompany him.
Being bright young man, earnest in
his desire to improve himself, young
Reed will master any problem of me-
chanics that he undertakes. If good
wishes will help out the young men in
the worthy object they have undertak-
en- they certainly ha1oxeehe backing of
old and young in this community.

GIVING TO A GOOD CAUSE.

The public has responded literally
to the call for membership of the Red
Cross. The annual membership dGes
are only $1.00, small contribution to
them worthy organization on earth
in itself, but in the aggregate amount
ing to vast sum of money. This is
one case where the contributor can
feel that his money is going into a
fund that will bring relief to suffering
humanity, and there is nothing that
should so appeal to the liberality of
the citizen as human suffering. Wher-
ever misfortune visits People any,
where in the world there will be found
the Red Cross ministering to the needy
and those in distress, and that organi-
cation has alleviated vast amount of
in the past and will continue
the good work for all time in the flu
ture. Some idea of the vast sum that
is raised by means of dollar contribu-
tions in the United States can be form
ed when it is stated that 240 persons
for funds in this small COM
Probably during the war peo-
pie responded more willingly and gen.
erously than could be expected in
time of peace, but 240 collections in
single day in town as small as Oro-
Vile indicates that the public appre-
ciates the work of the Red Cross.

RATHER STRANGE CASE.

Saturday woman named Stone,
accompanied by her daughter, aged
ten or twelve years, visited a number
OF stores in town and rendered checks
drawn on both the First National bank
and the Bank of Oroville in payment
The checks were usually drawn for
larger sums than the purchases came
to. The woman had no funds in either
bank. She was detained by the officials
at the immigration office as she had
come in from British Columbia She
gave no coherent account OF herself
or her transactions, and it was evil
dent that she was not really RESPONSE
BILE for her actions. She did claim that
she expected money from her husband
with which to meet the checks. Mrs.
Stone claimed that she had a brother
in-law living at Colville and Deputy
Sheriff Hoose was able to get him by
telephone. He proved to be a gentle
man named VIM. Bonner. He arrived
in Oroville Monday evening and sett-
ling the accounts returned to Colville
accompanied by Mrs. Stone and the
young girl, Taking a charitable view
of the case there was no disposition
upon the part of those upon whom the
checks were passed or the officials to
prosecute the case.

LONG In OFFICE.

Sheriff Harry Stark was a visitor
in town Saturday, and while there
were good many of his old tillicums
glad to see him there were others not
so joyful, for Harry was here in the
line OF duty, and when he is on the line
of duty that generally spells misery
for some one who has by his acts
brought misery upon himself But it
was good to see Mr. Stark. as his Wis
its have not been frequent up this way
of late, which would indicate that the
population has been on it's good be-
haviour. Mr.. Stark is one of the pio-
neers of the county. and during his
long residence in Okanogan county he
has put in number of years in the
sheriff's office both as chief and dep
uty. There are few more popular Off
cials in the county than Harry Stark,
and il 1t were not that the statutes
provides limitation upon the terms
of county officials he would probably
be in the sheriff's office perpetually.
He has made very efficient peace
officer and therein rests much of his
popularity. although the greater part
of that popularity, is due to the genial
personality of the individual.

FOUND NOT GUILTY.

Last week the Gazette published an
item from the Penticton Herald that
gave an account of the arrest of John
Flnnie of this place and one slim"
felton, who were alleged to have held
up man named Knutson and relieved
nm OF sum of money. Finnie return
ed TO oroville this week, having been
ulscharged from custody after evil
dence was presented at the trial to
SHOW that he was not guilty of the
crime charged. Through the help of
Attorney Clayton and Jack Slagle the
accused were cleared of the charge. 1t
was proven that Knutson had lost his
money in game of cards and then
made up the story of being doped and
robbed out of revenge. Knutson, the
complaining witness. who claimed that
he had been held up. is now in jail
and an attempt will be made to deport
him,

PETTY LARCENY.

short time ago the warehouse
owned by c. M. Hicks, the cash gro
Ger on the south side of the railroad
was broken open and several packages
of puffed wheat and other small gro
ceries taken, the value of which was
quite small. Marshal Calhoun worked
on the case and at last found cache
under warehouse east of the depot
containing the articles abstracted from
Mr. Hicks warehouse, lot of canned
milk and other property. Suspicion
pointed to two young lads in town, one
of whom was arrested and placed M
der bonds. Whether the evidence is
sufficient to to convict is not known,
but the names of the boys are withheld
until further developments in the hops
they may be able to clear themselves.

placed in nomination: Mayor, w. J.
Frank. Treasurer, Jess Sexson. Coun-
cilmen for two years, c. B. Sanger and
r. A. Jackson. Councilman for one
year. E. B. Gay. The caucus could have
remained in session a week and not
picked more capable lot of citizens
for the offices. Mr. Frank will make
an active and progressive mayor and

council who have the best interests of
the town at heart.

SOME ON THE PULL.

The wet weather interfered with the
outdoor auction sale billed to take
place at the OroviAe Commercial Co.'S
bargain sale last Friday. The pulling
contest between teams of horses, for
which a prize of heating stove was
offered, was won by the old dray team
that Amel Schultz drove in the days
before the advent of the auto truck.
One would not have supposed that the
ancient skates could have pulled an
empty wagon over paved road, but
in their day they had the sinew and
the bottom to move heavy loads and
it was evident to these who saw them
get down on their stomachs and beat
all competitors in this contest that the
team had not lost all of it's pep.
