BROWN ACQUITTED
OF ILLEGAL SALE
OF cigarettes

The trial of w. B. Brown in pro-
bate court, charged with selling
cigarettes to Ermon Clays, a minor,
was heard Tuesday A jury Of seven
men was empanneled, the jurors be-
ing j. f. Schonecke, VIM. Harley, J..
.C, Barrett, Victor Rowett, John w.
Morton, G.. r. Wetherell and M. C.,
Helm. The state introduced Ermon
Clays as witness and he testified
to the purchase of the cigarettes. A
deposition by George Cookie, locally
known as Gasoline Gus" was read,
in which he testified to having seen
the sale made and the payment of
the purchase price. Ralph Talent
was the third witness, and also
signed the complaint.
Mr.. Talent testified to having se-
cured the cigarettes from Clays. and
turning them over to Prosecuting
Attorney v. l.. Taylor. In cross ex-
amining all the states witnesses,
Attorney l.. B, Green for the defense
raised the presumption of frame
up and revenge, and apparently con-
vinced the jury of the justness of
his charges, as they brought in a
verdict Of not guilty on the first
ballot. The defense introduced only
one. witness except the clerks in the
cigar store, C.bB. Clays, who testi-
fed as to the age of Ermon and to
the fact that he had stated to Brown
that the boy was old enough to buy
cigarettes. The clerks testified
merely that they did not see Cookie
in the store during the time he testi-
fed that he was there.

"How can / make mine the ideal

"Cut out the politics, said the
old-fashioned woman, "I don't un-
derstand it, and haven't time for it"
"Cut out the league of nations

"Cut out the so-called funny pic

they're bad, very bad, for children. !"
"Cut out the ponderous editor

BANK ROBBERS
HIDE LOOT Under
PLATFORM. LOSE IT

Robbers who rifled safety deposit
boxes of the Middleton State bank
Monday night spent Tuesday in hid
ing beneath the platform of the Ore
gon Short Line station here, 1t was
indicated Wednesday.
A. L. Wing, station agent. Wed
.nesday afternoon found a note stolen
from deposit box. on the station
platform. Further search showed a
loose board in the platform. When
this was removed, a burlap sack full
.of notes, abstracts, deeds and other
papers taken from the bank was
found.
In the space beneath the platform
local officers found pieces of bread,
sausage and jar Of water. Screw
eyes had been affixed to the loose
board so that it could be tightened
to support the weight of persons
walking on the platform.
1t is believed that tn erobbers re
manned in the space beneath the
platform on the day following the
robbery while they examined the CON
tents of the sack Officers believe
they may have become convinced
that the papers stolen were un-
negotiable and SO abandoned them.
Another view taken is that the men
left the bag there and departed with
the intention of returning to ex-
anime it.
The office of the prosecuting at
torney at Caldwell wa snotified and
the papers recovered were left un-
handled in order that fingerprints
on them may be examined

The Passing Of a Pioneer.

John Wilson passed away Sunday
evening at the age OF rs years from
complication OF diseases, and an
illness OF two months. The deceased
was born in the state OF Mississippi
and lived here most of hsi life. He
had no relatives that any one knew
Of, or was able to locate.
During the Bannock war. Mr.. Will
son, or Jack Wilson as he was more
familiarly known, acted as Indian
scout for the government and had
many narrowing experiences with
the Indians. One time he and G.. B.
Ross were surrounded by the enemy
near indian Point Both men were
horseback and were headed for Fort
Mountain Home, at the old Commo-
dore Jackson ranch, when they were
spotted by the Indians The men
jumped off their horses, Wilson ty-
Ing his, and the Ross horse gofng
loose. They hid in the tall sage
and shubbery out OF sight OF the In
dians, who succeeded In stoning the
Ross horse until II left. The next
day, as night came on, the Indians
became tired Of their vigil and left.
Ross had been lying in a clump OF
brush distant from his partner, and
came crawling toward him, his face
covered with dirt, Wilson saw him,
and thinking him an Indian aimed
his gun to shoot, but Ross spoke in
time to save his life. Under cover
of darkness, the two, tired and half
starved and with parched tongues,
both mounted the remaining horse
and made their way to the old Fort.
BeiEg born in the Southland and
spending most Of his life In the west
he had that spirit Of general under
standing of his fellow men and the
charity and hospitality OF both lands,
was always ready and willing to
lend hand and give 10 the needy.
Funeral services were held Mon
day afternoon at the Mountain Home
Undertaking Chapel, which was filled
with the pioneer friends who had
come to pay their last respects. The
Methodist choir furnished the music
and interment was made in the local
cemetery,

Having a Hard Time ?
Think of Lincoln


Most of US know that Abraham
Lincoln was the modern ''man of
sorrows." His life was nearly all
disappointment and tragedy and It
went out just at the time when he
might have enjoyed few years Of
triumph over adversely and calamity.
Always the thing he wished was
snatched from him just as his hand
was about to grasp it,
Yet the horrors of fratricidal
strife did not dim his faith in man
kind nor dull the edge of his kind
ly humor. The blood of the Stoics
was in his veins. How many men
would have been able to withstand
the vicissitudes, the discourage
ments, the drab disappointments
that were his! A weaker soul
would have given up the battle af-
ter having been administered half
the rebukes that came to him in
early life, but he with a grim faith
In his own destiny fought on and on
until there came the final great
triumph and then the final blow

portunity to reap the rewards of
victory.

the benefit of discouraged persons
some of the defeats which Lincoln
suffered recalls that when he was
a young man he ran for the legis-
Iature in Illinois, and was badly
swamped.
He,yEext entered business, failed
life paying up the debts of worth
and spent seventeen years of his
less partner.
He was in love with beautiful
young woman to whom he became
engaged--dhen she died.
Entering politics again, he ran for
Congress and was badly defeated.
He then tried to get an appoint
ment in the Y. s. Land Office, but
failed.

Its Small Town Stuff.

Some seven or eight years ago
Southern Idaho was swept with a
craze for that burlesque facial
adornment known as the Charley
Chaplin moustache. As we recall it
Karl Hougen was the first Mountain
Home man to decorate his upper lip
in the fantastic fashion of the movie
commedian Ultimately the entire
town had had its laugh and the last
of Charley's imitators disappeared

is still going strovg in the cities,
and have begun cultivating their

new for its effect to attract much at

lip, is again an object OF distinction.

Belgian Custom Is
Observed for Horse

Boone, Ia, Jan. 7.-(Special.)-An
old Belgian custom was carried out
in the burial of "Farceur," the IA
nous Belgian stallion owned by
Grant. Good. Belgian breeders have
for many years buried their horses
in the stalls in which they died.
When S"Farceur" died this custom
was carried out by Mr.. Good.
!! The Belgian breeders believe that
if this custom Isl complied with the
horses which are kept in the stall
later will never die there. The deatl,
of "Earceur'". was not only ! heavy
blow to Mr.. Good, but to all raiserss
of Belgian horses in the United
States. The animal was valued at
$47,s00, the highest price ever paid
for Belgian horse in this country,
and up to October of last year had
been insured for $4,000, which Mr..
Good had allowed to lapse.
