BURGLARS BLOW
SAFE AND GET
5000 HAUL

Burglars blew the safe in the L.
G. Stonebraker pool hall in Ferdinand
early Saturday morning and escaped
with about $500 in currency. u. s.
warrants to the value of $500 were
overlooked The burglars also looted
the cash register Of about $50.
Entry to the building was gained by
two men at 2 clock in the morning
by unlocking the front door Of the
pool room with a skeleton key. The
safe was dynamited. The outer door
was blown off.
The men were observed by a woman
living not far from the building, who
saw them enter. Inasmuch as persons
were returning to Ferdinand at that
time from a dance in the Stock creek
section, it was thought that one Of the
men who entered the building had
gone in to purchase tobacco, and had
been admitted by an employee of the
pool room. The robbery was not
discovered until morning.
Sheriff j. G.. Eimers and Deputy
Chester Arnold went to Ferdinand Sat
urday to investigate the robbery. 1t
is thought the burglars escaped In an
automobile.

$4,000 FEET IN
AIR, SEEKING
SPOT
Aviator Fails to Find Suit
able Field in Which to
Alight at HARRISON Ranch
Plans for Elk Hunt by Air
plane Abandoned; Wonder
full View of the Country

Flying across rugged mountain
ranges, and above what is perhaps the
widest and most isolated part of the
United States, N. B. Manner, Spokane
aviator, and Walter McAdams, return
ed to Grangeville Thursday morning,
after spending an hour and forty min
utes in the air.
TO HARRISON RANCH
Aviator Manner and Mr.. McAdams
were seeking a landing field at the
E, @. HARRISON ranch, southeast Of
Elk City, in order to establish base
for a party of elk hunters which was
to leave Grangeville by airplane for
the rugged mountain country. W
The flight to the HARRISON ranch,
an airline distance of fifty miles
from Grangeville, was made in about
forty minutes, but after, circling
above the ranch, and descending to a
height of 500 feet from, the ground,
Aviator Manner failed to find what he
believed would be a suitable landing
field, and the two returned to Grange
vile in the plane. Plans for the elk
hunt were consequently abandoned.
Those who were to have gone on the
elk hunt by airplane included Mat
Geary, George Cammack, Grover
Zehner, Walter McAdams, and Guy
Chiesman, of Lewiston.
1900 FEET IN AIR
On the flight, an altitude of 1900
feet was reached, or approximately
800 feet above the ground over which
the machine was flying. On either side,
the occupants of the machine could sec
for distance of 200 miles, the entire
country unfolding below them. The
Blue moutains, in Oregon were visible,
as were the Owyhee and Sawtooth
mountains in southern Idaho, and
mountain ranges in Montana. Liud-
ings could have been made at Elk
City and Red River, but these places
were far from the hunting grounds.
The airplane was the first to fly over
the Clearwater and Elk City countries.

JOHN HART, BIG
MORMON LEADER,
FAVORS PRIMARY
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMIT
TEEMAN SUSTAINS
BORAH

John Hart, of Menan, Republican
national comitteeman from Idaho and
big leader among the Mormons, ha;
issued a statement declaring he is in
favor of the next Legislature pas
sing statewide primary law
and that after the people elect
a legislature that favors such a Law
he will heartily work for it and will
earnestly seek to have it enacted. His
statement in part says:
ct voted for the first primary law
which was passed in Idaho. / was in
favor of the legislature passing a pri-
mary law at the last session. 1 voted
for a statewide primary plank in the
committee on resolutions at Wallace.
1 recognize there is an honest differ
ence of opinion in the Republican par
ty concerning this principle.
"The only way left for the people
to express their will for Or against the
primary law, or any other issue of this
kind, is through their representatives
in the Legislature. Should they ex-
press such wish, I fee sure the Re-
publican party, as well as the Repub-
lican members of the legislature, will
gladly accede to their demand and
give the people of this state a good,
reasonable law properly
the integrity of political
parties. Such a law I am heartily in
favor of and shall earnestly seek to
have enacted. We should respect The
will of the people in regard to this
matter, regardless of how we may feel
about the matter. This /
feel the Republican party will do"

FRENCH LAUDS
HARDING RULE

Burton L. French, of Moscow, mem
Der of congress and Republican can
d1date for reelection, addressed about
lOO persons in Odd Fellows hall, We'll
nesday night.
Mr.! French pointed out what he
characterized as beneficial legislation
during the Harding administration.
including the recent tariff law and re-
strlction of annual immigration to 8
percent of the nationals of each conn-
try in the United States. He also re-
ferred to icreasing the capital of fed
eral land banks from 25 millions to so
millions of dollars, and pointed to re-
newed activities of the war finance
corporation. Mr.. French said coopera-
tive marketing on wheat would prove
of benefit to the farming interests.
Commenting on House Bill No. n.
for which he had been bitterly criti-
clzed, Mr.. French declared many mac
curate statements had been made per-
tanning to the bill. He said the ex-
change of lands was to be made on a
basis of value, and not on the old
scrip idea of acre for acre, in force
twenty-five or thirty years ago, when
sometimes an acre of privatey-owned
Hand worth 81 was exchanged for an
acre of government land worth $50
Mr.. French said certain amount of
suspicion was aroused due to the fact
that Fred Gooding, a brother of Sena-
tor F. R. Gooding, was interested in
the deal.
After the bill had been passed and
when storm of protest arose from
Idaho, it was thought best for the
Idaho congressional delegation to urge
the president to veto the measure.
said Congressman French, and then "if
a mistake has been made it can be
corrected
Herman H. Taylor, former lieuten-
ant governor, preceded Mr.. French
with talk on state issues, in which
he sought to place on local taxing
boards responsibility for high taxes
and exonorated the Davis cabinet form
of government.
Mr.. Taylor defended the convention
system of nominating Candidates for
state office, and said:
"There have been speeches made
which might intimate that there has
been a disruption in the Republican
party"
He appealed to the voters to vote
a straight ticket, and asked for cleo
ton of an administration that would
be unit in both county and state.
Mr.. Taylor attacked the direct pri-
mary as expesive to the individual
candidate.

Mr.. Rambo on Wednesday said he
was uncertain as to origin of the

the neighborhood, or from a cigaret
or cigar stub, or possibly from spon-
taneous combustion from hides that
were stored in the structure.
e.. FIRE ladies RESPOND
The fire department promptly re-
sponded to the alarm, but was unable
to save the building, due to the fact
that much Roadway had been gained
by the flames when the blaze was
discovered. Nearby buildings which
were endangered were saved by throw
ing water on the roofs to extinguish
sparks carried from the burning barn

Of endesvor. r, K. Schunnan,
warehouse foreman Of the inter
national Harvester branch in this
city, keeps a modern chicken coop
for his fifty full blood Plymouth
Rock hens and puilets at his home,
322 Poplar street, and as an add
ed Incentive for laying, he has
installed the most modern light
ing system in the coops. He turns
on the lights promptly at 4:3o
o'clock every morning for the con-
venienee of the Mesdames p.
Rock and the day is on. F. q
Now to the point. During the
storm Of this week, the wires to
the hen coops were broken down
and the lighting system out of
order for one day, permitting the
fowls to emulate Sunday morning
conditions in the best regulated
homes and as a result it was al
most seven o'clock before the first
hen blinked her eyes and stepped
over to the breakfast layout. On
that day the egg yield dropped
from, twenty -eisht the day before
to twelve. The next day the lights
were again in operation and the
yield of eggs returned to TWEEN

GUNNER. charged with the murder
of Marie Wick, Of Grygla, Mimi, IN
Fargo on June last, may know Ills
fate by tonight, for it is expected the

Mr.. Swenson maintained that from
the states evidence and the history

limited to between 1890 and one a.
m. on June z. and during that time,
Swenson contended, GUNNER was in

Attorneys Engaged In
Sharp Verbal Warfare
Sensational Episode In connec-
ton With Trial of Young 4
White

In the case of the State of Mime :
sofa against A +. White, which is
being tried In the district court, this
morning there was some testimony
introduced which would tend to show
that at the time of the arrangements
for the alleged prostitution there was
q colored bell hop in the room as well
as Ann Bartlett and A. f. White.
During the Argument Attorney s.
b. Wilson, who is defending White,
said in substance: ut has been
shown by testimony of witness that
at the time of making the arrange
ments a colored bell boy was in the
room. IL that boy was there, why
does the state, delegated with all OF
its power, not produce that colored
boy as witness?"
At that point in the argument
County Attorney G.. =. Phillips on be
half OF the state interposed an OBJ
lection and said: "You know why we
do not produce him"
INC, do not know why the state
does not produce him." replied Mr.,
Wilson with considerable heat, and
take objections to the remarks OF
counsel" Mr.. Wilson continued his
arguments, reiterating that the color
ed by was not brought into court
by the state.
County Attorney c f. Phillips
again interposed an objection and
repeated the words. you know who
we do not produce him and why he is
not in court"
1t was with fire flashing from the
black eyes Of the attorney for the de-
tense. that he answered: DO not
know and any man who says that
do is telling an untruth."
Then County Attorney Phillips
arose and explained. ct was no less
than a few days ago that while / was
in Mr.. Wilson's office informed him
that there was a col ."5d boy who
would be valuable witness, but he had
left Mankato and the state of Mime
sofa and is not available as wit
ness
To this explanation Mr. Wilson
replied that he remembered no such
statement. Mr.. Wilson continued his
closing arguments without further
reference OF the colored gentleman.
The case went to the jury shortly
before three o'clock this afternoon.
