Several thousand men and boys, comprising nearly all of the able bodied population of three Idaho counties, were pressing organized and unorganized searches through this mountainous country today for four armed bandits who yesterday abducted W.

The aeuroh wan living carried on by three main poses, headed by deputy b he riffs of Lewis, Clear water and Nes Peree counties, and 'around this group were resident of every town, farmer and miter h a n t 1 1 y tnyanlzeil by Volunteer leaders, Every highway and road for a radius of 100 miles were be ing watched and groups of men with bloodhounds were pressing deep into the heavily timbered und mountainous C I a r w h t r river country on the theory that the m n may have abandoned the automo bile and took tu the MuutUKins. MlaU Ktk'h. FVIknvittg a report from near Oroflno that a sedan similar to Tribbey's was seen speeding up the highway near 'there, the theory was expressed that the bandits were headed into the sparsely Bet tied region populated only by scat tered lumber camps. In this event, officers said, capture was only a matter of hours, because roads dwindle Into trails and cannot be traversed by an automobile. And as description of the men has been broadcast) a stranger would have difficulty tn getting through the cordon surrounding the country. Kinne, traveling from Lewiston to his home here, was attacked by bandits shortly after leaving Lew iston. They !;oarded his car, or dered him Into the rear compart ment, and drove off at a furious rate of speed. Near Orofino, Kinne said, a front tire blew out and the automobile catapulted Into a ditch, No one was hurt. When Trlbbey and Paul KUle of Ordfino drove up they started to assist the wreck victims and were greeted with drawn pistols. In the struggle that ensued, Kille was shot In the leg and was battered into unconsciousness with a gun butt. The robbers then took Trib bey's car, loaded the three men In it and drove for the mountains. After several hours of aimless driving they halted near Greer, nine miles southeast of here, tied the men to trees, left one of their number to guard them, and drove away. After four hours, the three bandits returned, got their com panion and drove away again. Kinne and his companions escaped in a few minutes. Kille, seriously but not dancerouslv hurt, was 'taken to a hospital here, I Kinne said tne bandits intimated that the need of an automobile to rob a, store at Pierce, a lumber town In this region, caused the doable holdup. The robbers took $200 from Trlbbey and $14 from the lieutenant-governor, however. f Montgomery Ward Officials Pay Visit to Medford J, P.

To Write or Not to Write Personal Letters on Typewriter Draws Wide Divergence of Opinion in Medford As the typewriter comes more i and more into use In business life, there seems to have arisen j a tennencw to empioy w in me writing of personal and private letters. Not so many years ago a typewritten personal letter would have been a serious breach of etiquette and the writer would have been temporarily ostracized by society, but such attitude has changed and today many persons of unquestioned refinement resort to the typewriter In writing close friends and relatives as it aids tte reader and facilitates the writing of longer letters. A local survey shows divided opinion on the question, with the following rea sons advanced: .... Chris Ootltleb, local United States employment bureau man-j ager: I "The use of a typewriter for J personal letters Is poor form and 1 would never do It, even If I could use a machine. You lose the personal touch and when you read a typewritten letter, you think a third party was also inter ested In the writing. The reader Is less Interested In the letter and sometimes because of that, such letter Is never answered." Mrs. Grace Voss, chamber of commerce assistant secretary:. "The typewriter, as far as I am concerned, is the only thing in writing letters. One can write so much faster, and not worry most of the time whether the person to whom the letter is ad dressed will be able to make out what you are trying to say. Some times when I use longhand. I begin writing shorthand, and then what have you? As a matter of fact, some of my kin Insist I write to them on the typewriter, and why not. it's being done gener ally in the present day." I C. Oarlock, manager of the Medford A. A. A. office: "I wouldn't think of using the typewriter to write letters even to my most distant friend. When ALL DELEGATES I was In school, I did not find it j much trouble to write nine to a dozen letters- a week by long- h hand, and some of the letters were over 20 pages long. I always like to receive hand written letters they seem more interesting." H. A. (Tim) Fainr!,. Southern Pacific clerk: "The typewriter is a blessing in writing personal letters, even If it Isn't considered good form. While I usually write by long hand. If I have any writing to do. I sometimes resort to the typewriter, and often It la much hotter to receive machine written letters, for some letter writers write so hurriedly you have to Htudy what they re trying to say." Miss Lucie Oat man, Mann's De partment Store: "If 1 received a typewritten letter, 1 would send It back to the writer unopened." Miss Icel Kd wards, clerk ut Shangle Photo Studio: "I wouldn't particularly mind receiving typewritten letters from some people and possibly some times I wouldn't care how it was written,, as long as it was a fet ter. A typewriter makes It easier to write long letters and 1 would say it was proper In keeping with the trend of the present day busi ness." Carl Y. Tengwald, real estate dealer: ' Perfectly all right. A typewriter Is a time saver and its product is easier to read." . Miss Edith Nichols, clerk at city building department: "A typewriter is all right, ac cording to whom you are writing, but I am afraid I am a poor champion for Its cause." Thomas Cilnn of the Klalto t he at re "A ' typewriter is proper If you ran tret by with It, and I can't see anything wrong with using one. of course, a typewriter is not considered proper form to rite personal letters, but its let r are easier to write and read, nd so after alt. what difference nes it make? It is purely a mtter of custom and not a vital rohlem. It Is largely tip to the individuals themselves whether tptey wish to use a typewriter or not." ' Miss Nydah Neil, deputy at county clerk's office: 1 ' "It Is poor form to use a type writer, but one must admit it is being put into general use for per sonal letter writing. I have done It, but I do nNit favor its use." ' J Miss Nellie Hohins, elevator ope rator in Medford building: "If a person doesn't think enough of my friendship to writ by hand, J wouldn't welcome tho letters that might be written by typewriter."
