BANK BANDIT
SUSPECT CAUGHT
Supposed to Have Had q Hand In the
Sensational Bank Robbery at
LOOmis Some Months Ago.

A man who is believed to be Jack
kearns, one of the Loomis bank rob-
bers, has been arrested in Wallace,
Idaho, and is being brought back to
Okanogan by Deputy Sheriff Ed. How
ell, who left here Wednesday morning.
The man was arrested as the result
of information brought to the local Of
fices by John Beal, who formerly liv-
ed in Oroville. Mr.. Beal came here d.
rect from Wallace with the report that
ne had met man whom he believed
was one Of the robbers.
Mr.. Beal was one of the posse who
pursued three men who had robbed
the Okanogan State bank at Loomis
on the afternoon of May 81. The ban
dts escaped in what was believed to
be stolen car after they had taken
all the money in sight from William
knosher, son of c. H. Knosher, man.
ager of the bank.
The posse caught sight Of the men
in Richeter Pass, where they had stop
ped because of flat tire. When the
posse appeared the bandits scattered,
two running across field and the
third climbing up hill. The one who
climbed the hill was captured, but the
other two men escaped Mr.. Beal be-
lieved that he had wounded one of the
two who got away across the field.
A short time ago Mr. Beal went to
Idaho and obtained work in the mines
there. The man with whom he was
rooming had wound in one of his
legs. When Mr.. Beal asked him how
he had been injured the man replied
that he had been shot in shooting
affair in Richter Pass. He then told
how he had drawn silk handkerchief
through the wound to prevent blood
poisoning and had escaped on a horse.
The description Of the man in Idaho
Tailed with the description Of one of
the three men who had been seen
camping at Twin Bridges the night be-
fore the robbery, Mr. Beal learned
when he came to Okanogan. The man
in Idaho was arrested on Information
wired by the local officers and Deputy
Howell was sent to bring the man
back. Howell is expected to reach
Okanogan by Friday night, provided
he made good connections.
The man who was detained in Idaho
is living under another name than that
of Jack Kearn, but the authorities
are not certain that Kearns is the true
name of the bank robber-Okanogan
Independent.

LOST AT OKANOGAN.

Friday last the Oroville hi football
team scampered down to Okanogan to
take fall out Of the high school team
distressed outfit VITA an Sc to defeat
as a reward for their temerity. 1t was
return slaughter following the
slaughter administered to the locals
by the same team a few weeks ago.
1t was not so bad as the first drubbing
when Okanogan slipped over the 100
mark but it was sufficient to bear tes-
about as much show against the coun-
ty seaters as they would in going up
against Yale or Harvard. Under the
handicap of weight and experience the
up river boys did not expect to win,
and hence were not disappointed. But
there is a feature to this Okanogan
game that must not be overlooked, and
a feature that is going to result even
tually in the Oroville team being an
outfit worthy of the steel of any team
that CANDLES on the gridiron, and that
is the pluck of the Oroville lads in
tackling the job with the odds so heavy
against tnem. 1t shows that the locals
have the nerve and stamina to take
punishment, and take it with a smile.
1t is easy for team to enter a contest
where the chances are all in it's favor
or at least there is an even break, but
1t is altogether different when a team
goes upon the field knowing in ad-
vance that it has not ghost of show.
Those lads grit their teeth, face tle
inevitable, but all the time put up a
hard if hopeless scrap. That is what
the Oroville football eleven did last
Friday. and while they came home
confounded there is nothing for them
to be ashamed Of. They did not shirk
a hopeless task and defeat under the
circumstances is not to the discredit
of the boys.

The potato market is all knocked to
pieces wherever there is market, and
prices are so low that it hardly pays to
dig this years crop. This condition
grows out of tne fact that the potato
crop this year is the largest that has
been harvested in years. The yield has
been enormous in this valley, and un-
fortunately growers are not going to
realize much from the crop. 1t is pos
sible II the crop can be held over un-
II spring a better price will prevail

DEDICATION AND RAISING OF
FLAG JULY FOURTH.


One Of the impressive features of
the Fourth was the dedication of {,
flag and raising, which took place
at the Boy Scout Camp. Mr.. Law
renee M. Bourgeois, one of our pro-
gressive citizens, donated the flag
pole to the camp. The flag pole
has more than the usual significance
attached to it as it featured in the
Spanish-American war. The cere-
mony was very effective. The bugler
called the troops to colors and they
formed in line around the flag pole,
the star spangled banner being hoist
ed and allegiance pledged the flag.
Captain J. L. Hogan, chairman
of Troop so, read very touching
poem about our flag and then paid
a lovely tribute to Mr.. Bourgeois and
the scouts gave him fifteen rahs.

4TH AT PEARL PARISH FAIR Is
RIVER GREATLY MAKING PLANS
ENJOYEDBY ALL FOR BIG EVENT

Pearl River, July 5.-Pearl River
folks celebrated the Fourth with a
very enjoyable old-time picnic and
fish fry Oh the swamp's edge at Hills
Switch. There was large and rep
resentative crowd Of old folk, with
a generation Of youngsters, and the
enjoyment of the day had. the added
pleasure Of plenty of good things 20
eat and drink and fish that were
cooked in style to delight the pal
ate and strengthen the appetite.
A very pleasant incident of. the
celebration was the presence of tW"
OF the oldest residents of this place,
Mrs. Rebecca Crawford, 81 years Of
age, mother of the late A. D. Craw-
ford, who has spent her young days
In this community, and Mrs. P.-I.
Craddock, 79 years of age. There
was a proud light in their eyes as
they watched their children, grand
children and great grandchildren eat
ing OF the goodies, and partaking Of
the refreshments provided for the
occasion, swinging on vines, running
races and having good time gen
orally.
Another event was the enjoyment
of shower bath that lasted about
two hours by the fishing crowd on
the day before on the banks of Pearl
River. The young folks had a de
lightful time bathing in the strong
running water.
There were people in attendance
from other parts of the parish and
some from Mississippi. All enjoyed
the occasion and will look forward
with pleasure to the celebration Of
next Fourth of July.

Community farm associations have
great influence in the development
of the parish, especially in social im-
provemeat and loyalty to home.
Those wards of the parish that have
active community organizations will
be the ones that will make the best
showing in the parish fair. We un-
derstand that Madisonyille is prepar-
ing for community fair that will
put prize winners in the parish fair
that it will be hard to beat. Folsom
claims that her community fair was
equal to the parish fair. We all re-
member the wonderful showing she
made last year, and if the best ex-
hlbits of the Folsom community fai'
are placed in the parish fair, as they
should be, it will help the parish fair
to make creditable showing.
Every community organization
should hold community fair, ana
the prize winners in each should be
in the parish fair and COM
POtC III LuC " 4ACos IL ouOu1u UO
remembered that no community cal
be of as much value in promoting in
dividual interests as can the Whole
parish. All should stand together,
in order to accomplish big things.
Every community should save the
best it has for exhibition at the
parish fair, Any product desired
for this purpose can be put in cold
storage or dipped in paratfin. Our
farm agent, Mr.. o. G. Price, will
gladly show any farmer how this
is done.
The poultry show Of the parish
has always been one of its best fea-
lures. Poultry culling will have
taken place in week or SO. We be-
lieve this will encourage closer at
tention to the finer points of the re-
naming birds.
An effort is being made to have
the concessions at the fair of more
character than hereto
fore. Secretary Minckler is work
ing on this matter with this in view
The Fair Association is specially de-
sirous that the fair should be of un-
usual merit this fall, because farm
activities are greater, membership
to the Farm Bureau is increasing and
everything points to greater pros.
perity for the farmer. A good fair
will help things along wonderfully.
