Thanksgiving.

Yesterday morning, at day-dawn, no
one who was awake had occasion to
forget that Thanksgiving Day had
come, as the screams and cries of
poultry were continuous. The noise
was similar to that heard on a Califor-
MIA chicken ranch when a h.lf-dozen
coons are securing feast. The pri-
vate families were all provided with
turkey, mallard ducks, chickens, oys-
tiers, and the regular programme,
while the hotels and restaurants We'd
with one another in making the best
spread. There were many diners-out
among the grass-widowers, and those
who dined at the restaurants had
formed dinner parties, and enjoyed the
luxury of Piper Heidsieck on the side.
Every one feasted to repletion, and
many a one has it to be thankful for
that he got one good square meal at
least in the wear 1882.

The lndomitable Richard West, of
ketchum, was at the ball last night.
Inc population Of Wood River is so
scattering at present that it requires
. combined effort on the part of all
the towns to get up dance. Last
summer an ordinary dog fight would
collect 500 men in HALEY, and the
brass band at ketchum would draw
crowd, while now they play in small
room to keep from feeling lonesome.
1. E. Clohecy, w. II. Greenhow,
and Hon. E. NJ. Wilson, managing
partners of the Ketchum, Muldoon
and Bullion houses of the firm of J.
=. Swift 4 Co., respectively, were in
town yesterday. Messrs. Clohecy
and Greenhow went on to Muldoon to
put things there in shape for the win
ter, and Mr.. Wilson will return to
Bullion to-day or tomorrow. Next
week he will go to Boise to attend the
session of the Legislature.

The public school in Bullion will be
opened for the term on Monday next,
with Miss Rose McNamee as teacher.
Last Sunday subscription list was
taken around by Mr.. Morris, chief en-
gineer of the Mayflower mine, and
over 5000 subscribed to defray the ex-
penses of the school for the coming
quarter, as no public funds can be
drawn until the law is complied with.
The school Census Marshal Bert
Ravens, took the census which will be

A TRADE SECRET REVEALED.

A wcll-known Idahoan, who with
his family is domiciled upon ranch,
Oh the river below, is great stickler
for the observance of state occasions

morning one Of his men came in on
horseback, having ridden 20 miles,
with a demijohn and an order on Joe
Rupert to fill it up according to pre-
scription, which read: Choice Bourbon,
3 gals. Mr.. Rupert could not deter
mine how strong it was intended he
shouls. send 1t, SO made it up by fill

demijohn he attached phial of the

LAST NIGHTS BALI.
1t Was Well Attended, and Thoroughly

Prevailed

1t Was Well Attended, and Thoroughly
Enjoyable, but - the Roller.Skates
Prevailed.
The Thanksgiving Ball, in Haley
Theater, last evening, was we'll at
tended, about rs couples and the
usual high percentage of gentlemen
unaccompanied by ladies being pres
ent. Dancing was kept up until at
ter midnight, when supper was called.
After supper all present demanded
the roller-skates, and the ballroom
was at once turned into skating
rink.
So it goes. Notwithstanding the
devotion of the disciples of Terpsi-
chore to her worship, the new sport
has taken such hold of the pleasure
loving public that it threatens to rele-
gate dancing to the shades of forget
fulness. But there is good reason
for this, as roller. skating is much
more exhilerating than dancing. In
proof OF this assertion remark made
at the rink the other night to TINES
reporter by a lady who skates as adj
mirably as she dances elegantly, may
be quoted. She said, 81 love dancing
dearly; but must admit that roller
skating is far more enjoyable"
Something which tends to increase
the popularity Of rollerskating is the
fact that many who, either from per-
sonal Discrimination or other causes, do
not dance, do skate. Persons in
mourning, for instance, cannot at
tend dance without running the risk
of being "talked about" something
which, on the frontier, is equal to the
social tabooing of older communities
But, as to the skating! Why, il
makes no difference whether one is
mourning or not; one can enjoy al
of it that one wants, and never be
"talked about in an unfavorable way
Skating will therefore hold the
floor for while; but the duration OF
its reign is problematical.

The Christmas Ball.

The ball announced to take place in
this city on Christmas night, although
given under the auspices of the Board
Of School Trustees, is not intended as
a charity ball, by any means. The
Trustees will pay all expenses, and if
there are any proceeds left, the
amount will be paid in to the school
fund. But the ball is not gotten up
as school benefit SO much as to give
all an opportunity to meet on the
close of general holiday and have a
good time.

FAR WEST VS.. DAvITT.
Willis +. Mcbride Is Not Interested In
this Contest, in ANY Way--Additional
Particulars.

To THE EDITOR OF THE TlMEs:-I
desire to say that your article in rela
ton to the contest between the Far
West and Davitt mining claims and
their owners or claimants, SO far as it
refers to myself, is incorrect. l have
not purchased any interest in the Far
West claim, and have no interest in
or knowledge of the controversy in
any way whatever.
Yours Respectfully,
Willis p. MCBRIDE.
Judge Mcbride, Willis McBride's
father, is attorney for II. Hardy, one
of the owners in the Far West. This
is probably what created the impress
sion that w. p. Mcbride was inter
ested in the contest-Ep.
A gentleman who claims to be con-
versant with the facts, furnishes us
with the following additional particu-
lars: The Snow Fly location, which,
the Far West adjoins, was located by
Joe Taylor, in 1881, and showed good
indications for lnine. 1t was then
that Mulveyhi.l located the Far West,
with partner, each holding a half-in-
terest, and depending on the develop
ments in the Snow Fly to prove the
value of the Far West. Joe TAYLOR
continued at work on the Snow Flv
until he was bought olt by Frank
Taylor, Of Haley, and in making the
deed to Frank Taylor he included in
the transfer his half Interest in the
Far West, not considering it of any
special value. Frank Taylor later
bought into the Davitt mine, and is
therefore one of the Davitt owners, as
we'll as owner of Joe Taylor's half-in-
terest in the Far West.
Harvey Hardy concluded that Null
veyhill's interest, which was the re-
naming half-interest in the Far West.
would hold the other half of the ground.
and SO made purchase, Mulveyhill
sending him the deed to Salt Lake
from Grafton, n. NJ.
The claim, which was located III
May, 1881 was untouched, it is claimed
up to the period Of location by the
Davitt partners, in June, 1882.
The time for entering an adverse ts
the Davitt application for patent sx
pires Dec. Is. The deed of Mulvey
hill to Harvey Hardy was for a con
sideration of S., and was not recorded
until last Monday. Frank p. Cavan
all, Deputy United States Minera
Surveyor, with assistants, went to tn,
mine Wednesday morning to make al
official survey, by agreement of tn,
contesting parties, and the case vii

term of court, and work will most like

An Unexpected Retos.

Toward midnight one evening. Ia the
old resurrection days, " two students.
bearing q sack containing dead corpse.
entered back court near to Che grave.
yard from which they had stolen their
booty, hastily laid the latter, sack and
all. in an oatof-the-way corner OF the
place, and then returned TO the grave
yard in search Of q second treasure. A
half-drunk carter, who had been quietly
surveying their movements from the
stairs which led to his dwelling. there
upon determined to play them trick.
So, hurriedly descending the stairs the
moment they were gone, he opened the
bag, took out its inanimate contents.
placed the latter behind large stone at
the other side Of the court, and substi-
tinted hls own carcass for same. taking
care to fasten the sack from the inside.
Very shortly thereafter the illegal mid
night adventurers returned, bearing q
second cargo similar to TINT above men.
toned, and, after few moments rest,
the one got the latter we'll hoisted upon
his back, while the other managed with
some difficulty to get the bag, which, he
believed, contained his share OF the
spoil, safely upon his back, and they
both proceeded on toward their destins.
ron. wlen nearing the latter they sud-
denly paused ut corner, and the one
whispered to the other, in nervous
voice, IT say, Bill, which way will We
turn now?" "Doon the Drygate r.
shouted the carter from his hiding place;
and no sooner were the words uttered
than both students dropped their loads
and bolted homeward, thoroughly believ-
ing that one or the other OF the corpses
had suddenly become resuscitated.

Capturing an Englishman.

"Once was filling an engagement a.
London theater," said J. X. Emmett,
the actor; "a gentleman with bnttoned
kids and hair parted In the, middle oc-
cupied private box. He coolly sur
veycd me through his eyeglass. ! was
feeling pretty good, and was acting with
more than usual freedom. The audience
roared with laughter, but not muscle
of his face moved. He stared at me
like Gorgon. was nettled, and de.
termined to capture him. did rly
best, hut there he sat partially turned
toward me in the casiest Of positions with
the coolest of faces. You could fairly
read on his features well, upon my
soul. L expected something pretty bad
you know, but this is perfectly exec.
rable. I lost my guard, and made no
secret OF my effort to capture him The
audience dropped ON it, and became
deeply interested. I warbled Wilhel
nina Strauss, and filed it TO the brim
with grotesqueness. but the fellow sat
there like stone statue entirely un-
moved. Apparently nothing would fetch
him. And SO the performance progressed,
the audience watching the man in the
box more than it did me. At last I made
an impression. It was in the act where
pranced around the stage with little
child astraddle my shoulders. A faint
smile overspread the mans face. He
raised his gloved hands and languidly
clapped them twice The audience
screamed with delight, and from that
time until the close Of the performance
I had every soul in the house with me.
The naipete Of the child, combined with
the acting, had been too much for him,
and had brought him down."
