It likewise pro- vided for an increased pay of sailors and soldiers Of the United States and further provided for a reorganization of the army on peace footing, and for the maintenance of powerful and effi- cient navy.

THIEVES BUSY
THE PAST WEEK

The past week a number of petty
thefts, two robberies and a hold-up
have been reported in Bonners Ferry.
1t has only been a few weeks since
three stores were broken into on Main
street and cash tills robbed of their
contents. The frequency of these rob-
berries is source of worry for the
merchants and householders and there
is now considerable talk about the ad-
visibility of putting a night marshal
on duty. Under the present system
the city marshal is on duty as a rule
half day and half night and the
town is without police protection from
eleven or twelve o'clock on.
Last Friday night thieves entered
the Hawks Drug Store and stole some
$500 from the cash register. No at
tempt was made to open the safe.
Entrance into the store was gained
from the basement through a waste
paper chute opening into the prescrip.
ton room. About $500 in nickels and
dimes in the cash register was not
taken.
Sunday night or morning thieves
entered the Z L. Little store and stole
two automatic revolvers, a flash-light
ammunition, etc, and rifled the cash
register of some $1,000 or $1,000 in
silver In this case. also, the thieves
did not take several dollars worth of
small change.
Entrance was gained through the
front door of the store. One lock was
broken with jimmy and the door was
snruno with tha aid Of two other i'm
mics so as to allow the second lock
to slip out.
Saturday evening Gus Broten and
Jack PostOn were held up near the
G. N. railway bridge in the east end of
town, by a lone bandit who secured a
small amount in silver from Poston
Broten had $40 in currency in his hip
pocket together with pair of gloves
and this money was overlooked by the
robber
Last Wednesday night Sheriff Dunn
ing was called to meet a Great North
ern freight train, having been notified
that a man was in a freight car who
refused to get out and who had threat
ened to shoot up the train crew.
When the man was finally taken out
of the car. however, it was found that
he was not armed. He proved bad
customer and would liked to have
tried cleaning up" on two brakemen
but thought better of it after warn
ing from Sheriff Dunning.
