AUTO ACCIDENT
NEAR This CITY
Failure To Dim Lights Re-
suits In Machine Run
ming Into Culvert-
Nobody Hurt

The reconsideration of a passing
motorist in not dimming his lights
resulted in what might have been a
very serious accident last Monday
evening on the highway about three
miles west of town. 1t seems that
the driver of a Washington car was
coming toward Mountain Home
when he noticed car coming in his
direction. The lights on the oncom-
ing car were so bright that the driv-
er could not see the road and despite
the fact that he had dimmed his
lights the road hog still refused to
dim. The driver of the Washington
car was coming at a good rate of
speed and the two cars met at the
culvert crossing the Lamberton
canal The Washington car struck
the railing and was only held up
right by a large plank. The car
was quite badly damaged and was
brought to this city for repairs. None
of the occupants were hurt.
The selfishness of night drivers is
becoming a nuisance on public high
ways and they should be made to OBJ
serve at least the rules of the road or
spend some time in Jail as a result of
their foolhardiness. The least that
a passing motorist can do when he
sees a passing car dim their lights is
to follow suit. 1t is only common /
courtesy and those who do not OBJ
serve it are taking lives in their own
hands.

and buried in the Mountain Home
cemetery beside his wife Elizabeth,
Wednesday afternoon, May 27, Rev.
c. e. Mason offering prayer and

Al years ago there was no minister
in the region for service then and
they wished a prayer at this recon-
initial. Mr.. Walker in pioneer days
lived on the Cold Springs ranch and
was succeeded by his sons who have
recently sold the ranch removing to
GIenns Ferry, making desirable the
removal of the fathers remains.
There were five sons and one
Mrs. Epperson, a former

COUNTY CASE
IS POSTPONED
Owing To Confliction With
Ada County Term Coun-
ty Case Will Not Be
Finished Until July

The case of Elmore County YER
sus the bonding companies for an
alleged shortage in the funds of the
county treasurer was postponed last
Friday evening until about the mid
die of July. This action was taken
owing to the fact that the trial had
been prolonged much beyond the ex-
pectations Of the judge and attor-
neys and confiicted with the regu-
lar term in Ada County. Several OF
the attorneys in the case also had
business in other counties which
prohibited their attendance.
1t was anticipated at the com
mencement of the case that the at
torneys would agree that a shortage
really existed and the only conten-
ton would be as to the amount that
each of the bonding companies were
responsible. The surprise was sprung
when the attorneys for the bonding
companies refused to stipulate along
this line and II became lnculhDeht
upon the county's attorneys to prove
the discrepancy and this Of course
necessitated the submitting of mum
erous records, etc. 1t was expected
when the case started that not more
than five days would be required to
complete it.

ter the paper went to press were By

Some one is losing a wonderful
opportunity, maybe it is you Awards
will absolutely be made, no matter il
there is only a few or many candi-
dates in the Salesmanship Club Cam
paign. With the few in now it will
be easy to "cash" in and get real
lead.
1t is easy now. A worker, one
with ambition and pep" can take
a real lead that will be hard to over
come on the home stretch. More
votes are given now on subscrip-
tion payments than will be the case
later on in the campaign.
The pessimist sees only the hole
in the doughnut, while the optimist
well you know the rest. Look for
the brighter side if you would have
it and secure the help of your friends
cash in on the opportunities Of
ferred you if you would profit much.
Such an opportunity to share in
the distribution of an automobile

come to you every day. In a few
weeks this newspaper will reward
the enegergetic hustlers of this vi
cinity and then you will be glad that
you entered and became one of them.
Make yourself an important factor.
The prizes are offered and it's any
body's race now.
Here is a great offer for those who
look at thing from a business
standpoint and know business
proposition and how to seize it at
the proper time. Some one is going
to win the big prizes for little of
their time. And those who will put
in a corresponding amount of time
that they would for a smaller pay
check in the regular walks of life
will walk away with the prizes of
their choice. 1t offers big wages on
down to the smaller prizes.
Notice the nominations and then
those who are awake to their cam

in the lead. Opportunity knocks at
your door once and if you do not let

will give admittance.
The time is short and will not

so if you would be one of those to
share it is time to get in and do
your best. The people like to help

HAMMETT STORE
ROBBED TUESDAY
Two Young Men Hold UP
Pool Room At Hammett
At Point Of
Gun

Last Tuesday evening about ten
o'clock two young men entered the
pool room of Fred Waller at Ham
nett and held up Postmaster Irons,
who was in charge of the establish
ment at the time and demanded all
of the cash. Mr.. Irons complied
with their request and they took
about thirty-seven dollars from the
cash register and 90x3 Pathfinder
Tire. The intruders, although they
fiourished their weapons permiscous-
ly, were only about nineteen or
twenty years of age and were no
doubt amateurs at the game as they
left numerous articles of value,
which were in plain sight.
Immediately after they had Sc
cured their booty the pair drove
towards Glenns Ferry in Ford car.
The roads were blocked both ways
and motorists were stopped and ques-
toned by the officers the greater
part of the night.
There was a crowd of Glenns Fer
ry men at the bridge at the west end
of that city and as the approaching
Ford drew near them they attempted
to halt it, but the occupants drove
right through them but failed to
stop the car. The party Immediately
took up the chase and the boys were
captured a short distance this side
of King Hill by w. H. Coberly, Lee
Belknap and Ed Hubbard. The par
ty consisted of three young men who
gave the names of Robert Lewis and
John Lonza, of Bay Point, Califor-
MIA and Jack West of Delco, Idaho.
The money was recovered by Sher-
iff Stevens along with three revol- |
vers and confession was also Sc
cured The boys are now in the
county jail pending preliminary
hearing which will be held in the
next few days.

cellent condition and It is anticipat-
ed that the sheep owners will not
have so much difficulty in securing
feed during the coming winter.
