Celebrating the Fourth, and the Advent Of
Statehood General News.
HALEY, Idaho, July 12, 1S90.-[Corres-
pondence of THE HERALD. When we read
of the devastating winds, the prostrating
heat, and the fearful thunder and lightning
eastern states, we are thankful that we
live in the beautiful mountain grit state of
Idaho. All hail. to Idaho, and may she
prove to all the worldly her loyalty to
the government, her industry and the de-
velopment of her mineral wealth, that she
was justly entitled to statehood.
The weather here has been delightfully."-
cool all summer; in fact too cool for the
gardens to prosper.
On the evening of the 2nd inst. a salute
of forty three guns was fired by connany
+ of The Idaho Guard, in honor of sta &
hood. This was olosed by a free dance
and free supper, rendered the citizens of
Haley and surrounding country by the
HALEY Hot springs The new manager,
Mr.. Carlston, genial, whole souled gentle
man, extended a hearty welcome to all, and
endeavored to make the evening grand
success. The dancing was kept up till
about 4 80 in the morning. The music was
good, the supper excellent and everyone
present seemed to be enjoying themselves.
On the 4th, people began to gather at the
Armory at about o'clock. The procession
was led by Colonel Bryan, superintendent
of the Red Elephant mine, marshal of the
day, anu his aids; followed by the HALEY
cornet band, consisting of fourteen MEM
berS, all in uniform. Then came compaI y
f. of the Idaho guard, followed by Il e
Haley hose company-with hose carr
nicely decorated. A noticeable feature of
the procession was the number of ore pro-
ducing mines represented-each b. red
flag bearing its name in white letters, and
borne by miner. The liberty car came
next, with Miss Lulu Tatro as goddess, sur
rounded by beautiful girls, each represent
ing one of the states or territories of our
great union. And fair Idaho, 'sthe gem of
the mountains and the forty third star on
our glorious flag, had her representative in
Miss Mabel Field. Then followed citizens
in carriages and on horseback, thus makll G
very creditable turnout for town which
one year ago to-day was in ashes. The
literary exercises We're held in the district
court room, and were listened to by an ap-
preciative audience. The orator, Captain
Grenn, delivered a carefully prepared and
eloquent address which received merited
applause. In the afternoon the field sports
were begun by game of baseball between
Hailey's mines, the hose company nine
winning the purse of $40 by seven runs.
Then horse race on Main street resulted
in severe accident, and ended the sports
for the rest of the day. A horse flew tn e
track and ran into a crowd of men, women
and children. BERTHE Butler, the fourteen
year-old son of our county school super
intendent, Mrs. F. Butler, was crushed
under the horses feet. His right leg was
broken between the knee and thigh, and hi:
skull fractured from ear to ear. He is i'm
proving somewhat, and hopes are enter
tanned of his recovery. One man was taken
up for dead, but rallied in the course of ;
few hours, and is now able to be arount
with the help of cane; another man hat
his arm broken, and three or four NOR
were somewhat bruised.
In the evening ball for the benefit of tn
HALEY Hose company was well attends
and was success financially and socially
Altogether, barring the accident in tn,
afternoon, the day was grand success. L
the evening purse of 1853 was raised TO
the injured lady, whose mother is widow
Latest accounts say the boy is slowly i'm
proving. MEB.
