ROBBERY AT
REID'S STORE
SECURE $4,000 WORTH OF
MERCHANDISE FROM STORE
WEDNESDAY, NIGHT
ENTER THROUGH BACK WINDOW
Believed That Three Men Had a Hand
In the Robbery.

Thieves entered Reid's Department
Store last Wednesday night and stole
about $4,000 worth Of merchandise.
large portion of the loot consist
ing of silk and satin bolt goods,
ladies' dresses and waists. Peace Of
ficers in all parts of the country have
been notified of the robbery and have
descriptions OF the goods stolen but
as yet no clew has been secured of
the identity of the men who committed
the burglary.
Entrance to Reid's store was gained
by cutting the window frame and re
moving the window in the rear of the
building 1t is believed that three
people had hand in the robbery as
three pairs of shoes were taken and
these were selected from different
places on the shelves and had evident
ly been tried on. A blanket which was
believed to have been stolen was later
found and Mr.. Reid is of the opinion
that this was used to cover the glass
OF the front door while the robbers
were at work The robbers did not
molest the safe in the store and even
passed up the cash register in which
there was some change in silver.
The fact that the store had been
burglarized was first discovered by
b. f. Edwards, salesman at Reid's
store, when he opened up at eight
O'Clock Thursday morning
Among the goods taken were the fol-
lowing Two black bags, Is inches
long; l black suitcase, 26 inches long;
l red fibre suitcase 26 inches long; l
pair Florsheim shoes. size 912 2 other
pairs OF shoes; ! suit 2-piece under
wear, size 40; l overcoat, Chippewa
Woolen Mills; l mans sweater, size
AZ. American beauty with collar; l
quilt: about 500 yards silks and satins
all colors, As waists. many of them
Wirthmore and Wellworth; and few
pair ladies hose.
During the past few months a num-
ber OF robberies have been made in
Bonners Ferry but in most instances
only small amounts of cash or valu-
ables were obtained. The frequency
Of robberies in the vicinity is causing
considerable anxiety among merchants
and it is probable that the town coun-
Gil will make arrangements for the
permanent employment of a night
watchman.

NJ s. Parker, field secretary for
the Idaho Anti-Tuberculosis AssOcia-
ton, with headquarters in Boise. Wis
tied Boundary county Friday and held
conferences with Mrs. Flood and Mrs
the county and city sales of the Christ
mas seals.
Friday afternoon Mr. Parker ad-
dressed the students of the Bonners
Ferry schools and made short talks
at the Amazon and Rex theaters that
evening, urging the liberal purchase
of seals and telling of the work being
accomplished in this state by the Anti
tuberculosis Association. Speaking
of the Christmas Seal sale Mr.. Parker
said in an interview for the Herald:
"All over Idaho busy county and
town chairmen have been organizing
forces for the Christmas seal sale
which began December l all over the
nation. The little seals should be used
on all the letters and packages mailed
during December. They not only bear
holiday greeting but perform great
service TO suffering humanity.
Their greatest message is that of
prevention Ol ludl great uSStl O9Sl Va
health and happiness-tuberculosis. If
everyone knows the simple facts about
tuberculosis-how it is contracted and
how prevented-there would be a
great decrease in the mortality.
"Over $4,000 of Idaho children are
taught personal and community hy-
giene and disease prevention through
the health crusade, which is part OF
the curriculum of the schools.
Through doctors and nurses, hun
dreds of cases of tuberculosis are be-
ing cared for in their homes until the
state shall build its sanitariums.
Some 1879 children have been ex-
amined by physicians at the child
welfare clinics carried on by the Idaho
tuberculosis Association through its
public health nurses. Mothers have
been instructed as to the care of the
children, and that children are the
victims of tuberculosis when they are
under-nourished and are suffering
from defects
"These are few of the important
things which Christmas Seals are do
ing in Idaho"
