ERICKSON PLEADS GUILTY TO
USING FUNDS OF THE F. 0. E.
Held under $4,000 Bonds after Hearing before
Justice MISUNDERSTANDING Adequately Covered
by Blanket Bond of Surety Company

Considerable feeling has been rife
among members of Aerie No. 818 F.
O. E. since it base become known that
last week Erick Erickson, secretary of
the local Aerie of Eagles, has been ar
rested on a warrant charging embez-
element, taken before Justice of the
Peace c.. A. Marston for a hearing,
and before whom he plead guilty to
the charge, and was held in bonds to
the amount of $4,000 to await the ac-
ton of the District court. The bonds
leased from custody.
The action of the local authorities
has been condemned by many as pre-
mature and unwarranted in view of
the fact that the matter of the al
legged shortage in the accounts of
Erickson was under investigation by a
committee from the local aerie, which
has not as yet made a complete inves-
tigation or report.
Furthermore, the officers of the To-
cal aerie have been, and still are, in
close touch with officers of the Grand
Aerie, through whom matters of this
kind are always handled by the F. o.
E. The officers of Aerie No. 81S and
the auditing committee have had the
matter well in hand, and have been
acting under the instructions of the
Grand Aerie, and in accordance with
the rule9 of the Order.
All officers of the F. o. E. who oc-
cupy positions of financial trust are
covered by a blanket bond, furnished

R. |. V0LCKMER is
NEW POLICE JUDGE

r. l. Volckmer has been appointed
police judge by Mayor Trueblood to
succeed w. S. Owens who resigned in
view of a long motor trip which he
intends making and which will entail
an absence of several months.
While Jedge Volckmer can never
hope to emulate the august manner
which was ledge Owens when acting
in his official capacity, it is cafe to
say that, with a little fitting and cut
ting, his mantle will rest gracefully
upon the shoulders of the new magis-
trate and that ledge Volckmer may
be counted up to administer justice
without bias or prejudice and uphold
the dignity of the office.

Powell, Wyo.,
October 9Th

To the Enterprise:
In the last issue of the Northern
Wyoming Herald there was an article
criticizing the county commissioners
for the name in which the county
finances have been handled this year.
As usual, the Herald does not tell
the whole truth 50 that the public may
Judge fairly, but it alludes only to
those matters which it deems best
calculated to create false impressions
IN regard to the present Board.
The Herald says-not literally but
IN effect-that there has been no un-
usual situation calling for increased
expenditures and that the situation is
the result of incompetency and extra
vagance.
The Herald knows this to be untrue.
In proving this, the same issue which
carries the criticism Of the County
Board also carries news of the most
disastrous floods in the history of the
county, together with the statement
OF an expenditure of $4,000 on the
wildwood bridge. The simple truth
Us, the county needs only about &c.,
ooo to get through the year in face
OF the fact that the unusual and extra
ordinary expenditures will reach close
70 $4,000 and probably more. OF
TINS $4,000 the only item that the
present board is chargeable with is
'he repair bill on the court house,
amounting to n little over $1,000. The
balance of the extraordinary expenses,
aside from the enforcement Of the
prohibition law, are wildwood bridge,
Sdo,S5s; grasshopper campaign. 49,
schools.
Just what the extra expense Of the
prohibitory law will be cannot be de-
.ermined until January LIST, but II will
probably bring the total Increase to
over $4,000.
me enforcement Of this law costs
more each year, as time goes on. and
V,s year Is no exception TO the rule.
But the Herald will say, the county
se.s back some Of this in fines.
10 which | reply. the county does
not get back anything.
lhe school districts get every penny
~. .ne hnes and the expenses come
w. OF the county funds.
Now, who placed all this additional
expense on the county? This is easy

DIR. EVANS HAS
CAR ACCIDENT
New Dodge Sedan Skids and Turns
on Side-Doctor Has Narrow
Escape From Death

DR.. L. e. Evans had a narrow es-
cape from death about noon Saturday
when, while returning from a pro-
fessional call at the Charles Bartlett
home, and at a point just south OF
the AXE ranch, and coming down a
short grade, the car skidded and
struck telephone pole, which threw
it to the left and whirled it directly
around and over on the right side.
The Doctor had the presence of mind
when he realized the machine was
going over to put his feet out
through the front door, so that when
the crash came his head would be
right-side up. He was rendered un-
conscious for few minutes, and
when he had recovered somewhat, he
crawled out and walked for a short
distance to where a couple of sheep
men were working and asked them to
help him lift the car up. The vehicle
was not so badly damaged, except
bhol dihhOSl dil VI tuc Sidoo W 40 uC-
molished except in one front door.
The frame was also badly bent.
A rather peculiar feature of the
accident was that when the car was
turned over it was headed around in
the opposite direction from which it
was originally going, and when he
got in to drive it home it took the
Doctor several minutes to discover he
was headed in the wrong direction.
DR.. Evans escaped without serious
injury, although he was severely
bruised about his body and sustained
a severe nervous shock. He went to
Boise Sunday, where he took treat
ment for a couple of days, returning
to his home Wednesday morning,
where he is now reeuperating.

Word from the upper country is
to the effect that the precipitation
there during the past ten days has
been heavy. Prairie reports a COW

and Pine, Featherville and Rocky

GOOD MUSIC CHARACTERIZES
SERVICES AT M E. CHURCH

The Sunday morning services at
the M. e. church last Sunday were
notable for some excellent music.
Rev. Clarence Anderson, who has
been "subbing" for Tom Blodgett
while the latter has been undergoing
treatment at Boise, pleased his audi
ence when he announced that quar-
tette from Nampa would sing. The
quartette consists of Roy Swim, Ed
ward Klindworth, Calvin Emerson
and Percy Bertram. Their selection
was greatly enjoyed, as was the cor
net and trombone duet by Ralph Kali
lam and Calvin Emerson.
The members of the First M. e.
Church feel deeply grateful to the
Rev. j. Clarence Anderson for his
excellent and helpful sermons dur
ing the absence of their pastor.

There is merit in each breed and the
individual should select COWS that
appeal to him most, and he and ]
will have no argument on that
only | would insist that he should
use good thoroughbred sire of what
ever breed he may decide on His
aim should be to have COW that
will produce 800 pounds or more of
butterfat. This is much above the
general average of the United States
but it is not an impossible thing
and he should breed with that end in
view. In other words, a good high
producing COW requires no more
support or feed than poor one.
One three hundred pound COW is
therefore much better to own than
two hundred and fifty pound COWS.
1t will of course take some time to
get together herd of this class. It's
not all in the breeding. A man
must learn how to feed his COWS so
as to get the best results. The COW
after all is a machine and the owner
must learn how to work it.
l do not recommend every man go
ing into the dairy business. No man
should engage in any business which
he does not enjoy. The man who
cannot go into his barn and find
pleasure in working among his cows
and who can't whistle and sing while
he is in milking ought not to under
take the dairy business. No animal
will respond quicker to kind treat
nent than COW and she resents poor
care and will show her feelings in
he milk very promptly.
1 do not believe in attempting to
get too large herd at once. 1t costs
/ great deal to get bunch of cows
.ogether that are the kind worth |
having. But any man can make a
start with few head and breed up.
)f. course, if he has the money to
ully stock his place at once and is
otherwise equipped, so much the
,etter.
l trust you will succeed in getting
he dairy business well started in
Home. Your section there
hould support a large number of
airy cows. If there is anything
an do further to assist 1 will be
cry glad to do it.
Yours very truly,
