We learn that move is on foot to close
the stores in this town after the first Of Janu-
airy, all day during Sundays, and thus give
the clerks and employees an opportunity to
seek little much needed rest and diversion.
The movement is a commeHdable one, and
will doubtless meet with the wishes Of every
one.
AN effort will soon be made to organize
social club in this place, for the purpose of
giving balls, etc, during the coming winter.
If possible, Daniison's building WILDE rented,
the shelving taken out, and the hall thorough
ly repaired. This, with the addition of
good big stove will mike the hall quite COM
Portable. We trust the organization will soon
be effected
The Thanksgiving ball Thursday evening
was very well attended, and those present GER
tainly enjoyed themselves. The hall was
crowded from the very beginning to the wind
up at half past four Friday morning The hall
is not good one for dances, as ii is cold and
badly adapted for music, but it is about the
best that could be secured in the present
crowded condition of our buildings. A large
number of country people were present, and
they were made welcome. The ball was an
unequivocal success.
Two big porkers were brought into town
last week, one by Jno. Thomas and the other
by G. d. Stafford. Considerable guessing
was INDUCED in as to the weight of the re-
spective piglets, and this ultimately led to
several wagers being laid thereon. Stafford's
hog weighed ass pounds, dressed, while
Thomas tipped the beam to fraction over
400 pounds, in the same condition. The
Stafford swine was full-bood Poland China,
from the Dorman ranch, and was only nine
teen months old. Both shotes were sold to
Picard Roberts, although Picard absolutely
glories in the fact that he did not pay for one |
of them. Rash person, that Picard
Another accidental drowning occurred in
Little Wood River yesterday. Mrs. Chas,
McPherson, an elderly lady, who lives near
the river, in attempting to cross foot log, fell
into the rapid stream and was canied down
some distance near Peterson avenue, and the
body noated under the ice. She expected to
visit her sons family that afternoon, and her
husband went there in the evening for her.
No one had seen her fall in the river, and no
idings Of her could be learned until Saturday (
fternoon, when someone found her muff, and
Don the body was taken from the river, in an ,
ddy near the bridge. -Shoshone Journal. a
"A late Wood River paper states that
frank Armstrong, the vile murderer of the L
heep man, Paul Hubert, has had his day for c
assing sentence deferred until December l.
During the interval his lawyers will make
renuous efforts to have new trial granted
ARMSTRONG will be remembered as the blossom
tho fourished here as a photographer some
ling over year ago, and who was after
ards arrested for stealing money from Post Y
laster Scott, at Ontario, Or. He was dis b
narged from the Baker county Jail for lack of b
