Chief of Police PauUch last Friday night placed under arrest what is be-ilieved to be a very dangerous I. W. W. when he picked up John Shields, fore-man of the Cardiff Mining & Milling PnmDanv' on a charge of intoxication and creating a disturbance. 'W hen arrested he was found to possess a powder license Issued at Salt Lake which would permit him to purchase unlimited amounts of powder. H also had on his person five defense bonds, and a card in the I. W. W. lodge No. 00 of Butte, Mont., duea being paid until next November. He was placed In the city Jail andV (Monday was given a hearing before-Jud- ge John C Greene on a charge of creating a disturbance and was sen-tenced to serve 30 days in Jail and: pay a fine of 50. The officers here have every reason to believe that his work here was for the purpose of collecting money to Be-use- d in defense of I. W. W. leaders . now on trial in Chicago. Data is now-bein-collected and during the time he . is seivlng his sentence for the two ' offense his case will be thoroughly la-- The I. W. 1W. activities which have- - -- been unearthed during the past few -- weeks caused some little stir in this community as tne great majority oi iu people did not know that anything was going on in the camp. But it appears that the officers here have kept a keen lookout and they have discovered' many things in regard to this matter. It is said that some CO or more persons are to-- be arrested- - in the camp at a t early date for complicity In the affair. Who these people are Is some question,, and the further fact of the statement that a number of business men of the camp are included in tne list Is more or less surprising to some people. It is certain that the I. W. W. worker here have been operating on a care-fully arranged plan In order that the-- ' public might not know what they are-doing- , lit Is also said that large sums of money for I. W. W. defense have been collected here and that a number of business men were contributors. The campaign against tho I. W, W. organization was started some two arrested here br the chief of police for unpatriotic utterances. The first charge against him was technically for disturbing the peace, but before the local authorities were through with him he was turned over to the federal government to face tho charges con-tained In a presidential warrant In line with the movement under way to dispense w:th the 1. W. W.s lover 12S men, who are said to be mem-bers of this organization, have been discharged during the past week. It said that these men have ben using every effort to precipitate a strike in the camp. In the meantime the public Is anx-iously awaiting developments and the officers are on the alert to secure the necessary evidence against parties who are now under suspicion. of the Season and the tw Zmto Between $300 and rv Snment of Organization a Great Success-- All People of Camp Responded. ' One of the most delightful and best , attended dances of the-seas- on was given by the Italian chapter of the Red Cross at Canyon night This unit of the Red iltosb the officers and mem-1- . i a new one and bers have been working valiantly dur-ing the p.ast few weeks to make the i, first public meeting after the organiza tion was formed a success, and they met with a merited success. The large ' haU was well filled and the people who attended were highly pleased with the entertainment In addition to those present on the floor there were hun-dreds who purchased tickets and were unable to attend. As a result of this meeting the grops receipts of the Bed Cross will be somewhere between 300 and 500. This will give the organization a good start, and the enthusiasm manifested by the great number of attendants is an assurance of the fact that this unit of the ed Cross is to be a valuable ""The idea ef an Italian chapter of the Red Cross was conceived some few weeks ago by 'A. C, Cole and he took . with a number of resi-dents the matter up of the camp. In this work he found a ready response on the part of -- the Italian ladles. In fact they were tf enthusiastic over such an organization and in a few days after the matter was mention a splendid, well officered unit of the Bed Cross was formed. And they did not stop '!h merely organiz-V-ing but commenced wort at once and 'i vfv- - found a hearty support throughout, s the camp. ' Of all the dances held here during Fv the past winter it is jprobable that ' there was more interest and enthus iasm in the one Wednesday night ' than any which preceded It It was - a matter of regret that Mrs. John Con-- 7 I tratto, secretary of the organization. " : who did so much work for the success of the entertainment was unable to at-tend on account of illness. " , LEGAL BATTLE 10 BE WAGED HERE There will be unusual Interest In the j court room here next Wednesday when D. H. Rutherford and Sam Ray are to be arraigned for trial on the charge of disturbing the peace. ' These caes have a rather Interest-ing setting in vew of the fact that they were state witnesses in the court this week against Mike Francis, who was charged with attempting to use a butcher knife on a man with whom he was not on tha most intimate terms. The courty attorney abandoned the the case in the midst of the trial and had Rutherford and Ray. his own wit-nesses, indicted on a charge of disturb-ing the peace. The trouble atcee after work hours In the arternoon when Francis and an-other Austrian came by where a cou-ple of fellows were boxing ar.d in the Jostling crowd wa pushed from the sidewalk. Then he began to swear like a sailor and Rutherford protested. As the argument wanned up (Rutherford started to take off his coat and the Austrian batted him in the face. Ray then swatted the Austrian and the lat-ter, after reaching his home, secured a butcher knife f;nd sought out Ray for a further settlement and chased him quite a distance, but failed to get in reach of him. - Assistant County Attorney S. D. Thurmau will prosecute and A. C. Cole will defend the alleged offenders. A large crowd is expected in the court room to witness the battle. BUY ANOTHER BOND TODAY Treasury Department Issues Patriotic Appeal to Inaugurate Intensive Finish for Third Loan. An appeal to all Uberty Loan com-mittees to inaugurate an intensive fin-ish for the third Uberty Loan and to see that no possible subscription is overlooked was sent out by the treas-ury department. The appeal contains 12 suggestions of things that may yet be done to make the third loan a big success. ! The suggestions are: . Inaugurate a buy another bond campaign to get those who have sub- - scribed a little to subscribe more. See that the employes of every in- - dustrial plant have been canvassed, . creating, if possible, committees of employes to complete the work. Find out if any plants need See if all stores and office buildings have been completely canvassed. Call attention publicly to the. fact that the desired 20,000,000 subscribers means one bond buyer to every five people or practically one to a family. iMany wealthy men and large insti-tutions are holding off on account of paying large Income taxes hoping that their subscriptions will not be needed. Impress upon them that tvery possible subscription is needed and remind them again that the schedule of the government payments on (Liberty Bonds calls for no pay-ments in the month of June. Follow up all pledges and see that they all materialize into actual sub-scriptions., Check up to see that each Individ-ual and community has done its share. Ascertain if those communities where quotas have been reached are alive to the necessity of continuing the battle for large oversubscription and wide distribution. ! Take advantage of the fact that .May 1 is pay day and a good day for thousands to make initial payments. Se' that individuals and firms which benefit from waf business in-crease their subscriptions id adequate proportions. Many women whose husbands have already subscribed can buy bonds on their own account. iMake an appeal to them. ' ! LIBERTY BOND SALES REACH 350,000 DOLLARS There has been no let up in the sale of Liebrty Bonds in Bingham and this camp has gone over the top three times over. The sales by the first of May reached 1350,000. Bingham's con- - tributlon to the government war chest this time has been a rec-- ord breaker and It is hardly like- - ly that any community in the country with a population be-- tween 6,000 and riO.000 could reach It with a ten-fo- pole. lAnd still the work ia not com- - plete. There is one more day after tcday for the work in which to buy Liberty Bonds. The cam- - palgn closes , tomorrow. Those who have not done so should make application quick. , ; LIEUT.

When opened it was found ot contain a draft for J66 The b.oys took this action for the reason that it ia against army regula-tions to give presents to an officer.

MACABEES ENJOY LIVELY EVENING IMany and Varied Features in the Meeting In Society Hall Wednes-da- y Night The Knights of the Maccabees and their friends met In what probably was the liveliest ar.d nest attended meeting of the season. The evening was spent in athletic stunts, songs, music and eats. The first number on the program was an amateur wrestling (match between two of the high school boys 'Bonus" Oddie and "Kewpie An-derson, the first fall was won by Oddie In five minutes, the second fall was won by Anderson In one and one half minutes. Both boys showed the results of their training under Profes-sor Marthakla of the high school. They showed considerable science and hurl training. The next number was two selections by the faculty quartet of the high school. Then Professor Myles MoUonald tried some stunts with his monkey and dogs. 1Ie also made crack at the Press-Bulleti- n but we dare not publish it. The Maccabee band then made its appearance and rendered some very fine music considering that they have only been organized for about one month. They played several tunes and were heartily applauded by all present which totaled around 200. The band is under the direction of L. S. 'Madsen and In a month or six weeks will have a great surprise for the music lovjng people of Bingham. The next event was a boxing contest of two rounds between John Hyland and Fred Anderson of CopperfSeld. which showed some class. Then Pro-fessor fert Hocking of the Bingham Merc entertained the boys with a cou-ple of recitations which were well re-ceived by the crowd. But they kicked about one which said that they should cut out the booze, because there Is no '.booze to cut out. Then came Profes- - sor W, At. Smith, of Copperfield. with his ring and anvil stunts, and the glass of water-balancin- g act. This perform-ance was the headliner and was really enjoyed, the smashing of glass with his bare feet was one of the features of the act. Then 'Myles 'McDonald ren-dered a few vocal selections, aceom-Ipanie-by Mark Jones at the piano, j The next was a wrestling match be- - tween Pete Sahtafe and Andy Mellon- - aid. Pete won the 'first and last fall' with a body scissors and a huinmer-Uoc- k in 8 minutes. Then Roscoe Sor- - emon and Arthur Macke give a wrest-illn- g demonstration. Judge J. C. Green gave an excellent patriot ic talk. And was followed by Dr. J. ('. Hnuchett of the Salt aerie of the Maccabees. Then a lunch was served to all pres-ident and they adjourned. The Markey llrophv, which Bingham won, will bf ' presented to the lodge by tin- - higl ' r on iMay 2i). TWO BINGHAM III I REACH FRANCE i Marshall and Guymon Are Pleased With the.
