Elaborate Firth wedding of Bina Andrus and Wardell Clinger
A very enjoyable wedding in Firth last Thursday joined Miss Bina Andrus daughter of a leading local businessman and Wardell Clinger of Rigby. Rev Barnstable of Blackfoot officiated at the bride's parents home before fifty to sixty guests with an elaborate supper of five or six courses. The couple then began a honeymoon. Early Saturday morning Powers Drug Store was entered by breaking a rear window with a damaged cash register and other losses. The robber left no clue but the pattern suggests the same culprit may be responsible for multiple burglaries this year.

Rancher Kidnapped. Family to Pay $6000 Ransom
Idaho Falls dispatch reports E. A. Empey, a cattleman and sheepman from Long Valley, was abducted by a gunman while returning from the Bert Empey ranch with two youths. A letter demands $6000 in gold to be delivered within days, with death for Empey or rescuers if refused. Relatives, alerted from Garland Utah, fear capturing efforts may trigger his death. The case links possible staged robberies in the area and draws on Whitney and other outlaw rumors.
