been in a whirling maze; the voice
Of religion has been heard calling
us to repentance and salvation, and
the angel Of death has also spread
his wings over the little city.
With a view of further economy
at the expense of the toilers, the
'powers that be" in railway circles,
have cut another swath in the ranks
of labor. One trains crew is laid
off, which also pulls off an engineer
and fireman, and only one crew is
left to run the switch engine, the
switching being done from midnight
to noon, thereby knocking out the
night engineer and fireman. One
switchman and operator are pulled
of also to join the vast army Of
unemployed, and a further reduc-
ton hours exists in the shop. Thus
are the faithful" who remained
loyal to the Railway company last
summer, rewarded in the winter.
The talk of Mcneil of the 0. r.
& N. being appointed receiver, as a
probability, is entertained with con-
sternation of mind to the utmost
degree of the hearts of the little
big-bugs Of the road both here and
at Pocatello, lest this gentleman
may, in such case, slash into their
official vitals and leave them to
stand pat.
Mrs J. III. Cameron of American
Falls has returned hume, after a
protracted visit to the family of her
brother, Judge Glenn.
j. Il. Allen. one of the engineers
who lost his position during the
Debs strike, has gone to Evanston
to take position there. Thomas
Plunkett has gone back TO a bench
in the futile machine works at An
aconda. The families of both these
gentlemen remain here.
Mrs. A. NJ. Sinnott has been on
the sick list, but is now improving.
Robbie Davidson, the five year
old son of Ben Davidson, who has
been very low, is now improving
Judge F. NJ. Hartman last Tues
day performed his first official act
in justifying the bond Of Constable
Conrad.
A case came up last Friday be-
fore Judge Glenn, wherein the pris-
oner was a subject of DISPUTE be-
tween the United States and the
State of Idaho, but young Idaho
knocked Uncle Sam out. Pat Con.
way was arrested for furnishing an
Indian with liquor, which, under
our State statute, is misdemeanor
While the prisoner was in the hands
of Constable Conrad, Deputy U. S.
Marshal Sid Roberts appeared and
claimed the prisoner as his, for vio-
lation of the United States statute
by the same act and for which he
was arrested, and denied the juris-
diction Of the State in the matter.
Pete Conrad, who is big butcher
as well as a herculean constable,
said that Pat was his meat and he
intended him for his official meat
hook. Then the U. s., represented
by the deputy marshal, appeared in
court with a dispatch from U. s.
Marshal Crutcher demanding the
prisoner, but the State of Idaho,
represented by Judge Glenn, sat
down heavily on the United States
and proceeded with the trial, a jury
being summoned, and the prisoner
was tried, convicted and sentenced
After the trial, Deputy Roberts
again approached Judge Glenn with
a dispatch from U. S. Attorney For.
ney instructing the court TO stay
proceedings, but his honor, anxious
to keep the ancient glory of our
court undimmed, said he wonld
stay nothing and would not have
his DEGREES monkeyed with by any
u. s. officers under penalties of con-
tempt. So Conrad triumphantly
landed his prize into the county
Jail the next day.
Rev. J. w. Barger for the past
ten days has been holding a revival
in the M. L. Church with encour-
aging success. The church will be
formally dedicated on the Goth.
Rev. Father Thomas is holding
regular Sunday services in Saint
Bridget's Catholic church, he being
now a resident Of the burg.
There are two dancing schools in
full blast running here every night.
Miss Katie Mullaney conducts one
in the Heron hall and Mrs. Ru-
dolph Larsen conducts the other
in the Stockton hall. Both are well
patronized.
The death Of Baby John Merrill
Madden, the first born and only
child Of Mr.. and Mrs. r. II. Mad
den, has cast a gloom over the town.
Baby's stay here was sholt indeed
before he was transplanted to q
home of happiness. On Wednesday
evening, the baby boy in whom the
