In the future, Major Lesser said,
the camp site will be used by all

because there is no satisfactory range
for heavy guns.
The grounds will be improved, sum

THURSTON GETS
LIFE SENTENCE
All Four Get Same Sentence

Found guilty by jury and SEN
fenced soon after, to life imprison-
ment Darrell Thurston, fourth mem
Der of the gang of robbers that held
up the Craigmont State Bank, Oct. q,
failed to take the stand for his own
defense at his tria' in Lewiston last
Tuesday and Wednesday. He was
charged with the murder of Gordon
Harris, Lewiston traffic officer, who
was killed, while attempting to arrest
Thurston and three companions in the
Lewiston Orchards.
The trial came to an end when the
attorney for the defense rested his
case after the state submitted its evil
dence and asked that the defendant
be dismissed on the grounds that the
state had not introduced sufficient
testimony TO show that Thurston was
the slayer of Harris. The motion was
denied.
The case was given to the jury at
( O'Clock Wednesday afternoon and
verdict returned Thursday morning at
2 a. IN.
Another member of the gang or
robbers was taken from the state pris-
ON at Boise to Lewiston as a wit
ness. This witness was Sam Myers,
also convicted and sentenced to life
IMPRISONMENT for the murder of Har-
ris. The other two members, James
and Chester Mars, pleaded guilty to
burglary and were given life terms In
the Idaho State penitentiary by Miles
s. Johnson, judge of the tenth judi
cial district.
The trial, conviction, and sentence
Of Myers and the Mars brothers has
been characterized as one OF the
speediest examples Of justice in any
court. The men were on their way to
the penitentiary two weeks after the
robbery and killing. Thurston was
taken to the state penitentiary soon
after the trial

M A 4 YOUR
c HRS I MAS
GIFTS EARLY
Advice From Washington

Last year through the generous CO.
operation of the press, the movies and
other advertising mediums, Christ
mas mailers were induced to dispatch
their Yuletide presents earlier in the
month than ever before in the his
tory of the institution of gift exchang-
ing in the holiday season.
As a result, the spectacle of the last
minute rush of former years, with its
attendant heartbreaing labor on the
part of wearied and nerve worn store
clerks and postal employees, was a.
voided.
This year Postmaster General New
and First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral John H Bartlett have determined
to make an even better record and
to Danish for all time the suffering un'
dergone in past years by those en-
gagged in the sale or transportation OF
gifts. They hope to make "Shop Ear
W. and mail Early a habit with the
American people.
Mailing early does not mean De
cembe 1 or before, but if everyone
could get their holiday tokens in th'
mail between December 10 and De
cember 20, the post office could no
ask more.
Particular attention this year vii
be paid to greeting cards Despite tn
success last year it was noted that tn
last-minute mail consisted largely o
cards. Possibly many of them were re
turned greetings to friends, hear
from on a previous mail, but overlook
ed on the original Christmas list. Un
like parcels and letters containing
money orders, cards, of course cal
not well be marked do Not Opel
Until Christmas" Therefore, it is pos
sible that the many mailers hold then
until the last to insure delivery OF
Christmas Eve. This class Of mailer'
this year, however, may find theil
cards undelivered until after Christ
mas Day.
Believing that the energies of posta
employees should not be Slapped to the
last degrees for any avoidabie reason
and. intent upon securing for them the
same Christmas privileges enjoyed by
others. Postmaster General New asks
