OROPINO, Ida., June 18.
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. B. Kinne, lieutenant
governor of Idaho, and two men
who attempted to rt'scue the of

made their escape last night after
the bandltH had tied them to trees
and then drove off In Trlbbey1
automobile. Kinne watt unhurt,
but Mile whs suffering from a
iluhm wound in the leg and a
badly battered head, the resulta of
a battle that ensued when he and
Tribbey attempted to help the of
ficial. Trlbbey ulso was suffering
from bruises.
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.

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."
