AFTER A DISPUTE.
Commission Merchant Berta Expires
on the Street.

One of the oldest and most highly re-
spected commission merchants in the city
died suddenly at the intersection of Clay
and Sansome streets yesterday afternoon.
The deceased was Attila Bsrta. who lived
at $50 Merchant street and had stall in
the Washington Market.
Half an hour before his death Berta en-
tered Trobock & Bergen's store, SOC San
some street, and made complaint about
a counterfeit dollar which be had re-
ceived. His assertion gave rise to long
and rather animated dispute and, strongly
agitated, he left the store and walked rap
idly to the corner where he placed his
hand on HE chest, reeled and fell dead
upon the pavement
Berta had many friends among the mar
ketmen ana as result OF many years of
patient toll and saving left his family an
estate which is said to be worth $50, 900.
His death was caused by heart disease.

TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 30, 1876.

A PoLECAT AROUND HIS NECK.-A
dance on Brushby Fork, KY, on Satur.
day night, was broken up in a novel
manner. George Daniels and Gus
Spencer, young farmers, were rivals fol
the hand of Miss Lottie West, the belle
of Brushby Fork, and Daniels accom-
panied her to the dance. Spencer was
30 jealous that he refused to go. Find
ing companion he went hunting in
stead. Their dogs caught pole cat,
which the concluded to take home.
But on their way they passed the scene
OF the dance, and, looking through the
window, saw Daniels and Miss West
dancing together.
Spencer was so enraged that he threw
the polecat at Daniels. His aim was
bad, however, and the animals struck
Miss West squarely in the face, knock
ing her down.
Daniels started after the author of
the outrage, who was running off in the
darkness.
He did not know who ..o runner
was, but he sooc, overlook him and
marched MIN back to the ballroom,
where fresh air aid fans were largely
in demand.
Many plans of punishment were sug-
gested, and the one adopted was sug-
gested by Miss West herself. She &C.
manded that the maiodorous animal be
tied around Spencer's neck, after his
arms had been pinioned, and he be
forced to walk to his home with it hang
ing under his nose.
This was done, and a committee fol-
lowed Spencer to his home and opened
the doors for him. The affair broke up
the dance, but it won Miss West for
Daniels as they will be married Sun.

NEW YEARS GREETING.

This is the first issue in which
we greet our readers in the new
year. 1t is usually customary for
a newspaper to indulge in a column
of New Year philosophy on such
occasions as this, setting forth
many good and virtuous precepts
to follow. THE HERALD will skip
this time honored custom this year.
We shall merely content ourselves
with wishing our readers, and all
those who ought to be our readers
a year of unexampled pros
perity.
We hope Bonner's Ferry will be
so prosperous during the coming
year that every man and woman in
Bonner's Ferry, Eaton, Bonnerport,
Great Northern Addition or Fry,
as the case may be, will have suffic-
lent business of their own to attend
to without meddling with anyone
else's business. May the town have
such an abundance of prosperity
that no one will have time to COM
mune with the professional mis-
chief maker-those individuals
who make friends enemies; whose
lying tongues have caused more
hard feeling than all other agencies
combined.
If we had any advice to offer on
the occasion of the new year, it
would be that all our citizens Gull
tivate more sociablity and less in
humanity. Let every one live to
try to build himself up rather than
to try to pull his neighbor down.
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1895-01-05
TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION;
EITHER Mr.. Sweet or Mr.. Shoup
would represent Idaho honorably.

PROBABLY one Of the most ludi-
crous things ever found in will
was contained in the last testament
of the late Senator Fair. Jimmie
was always credited with being a
shrewd man of affairs, and his will
shows that he did not propose that
any jobs should be put up on his
estate after death-at least not of
the nature that befell the estate of
the late millionaire Davis of Butte.
The senator in his will declares
that he is not married and has no
children other than those men
toned. To avoid the claims of al
legged heirs, he leaves $50 to any
possible widow and $50 to any
children that are decided by law to
be his.
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1895-01-05

THE HERALD wishes to emphasize
the fact that it is not alone the loss
of the eloquent and able Willis
Sweet that is to be regretted and
lamented by the people of Idaho if
Mr.. Shoup is returned to the senate,
but it also means an attempt to
undermine and retire Senator Fred
L. Dubois two years from now.
Senator Dubois is worth more to
Idaho in particular and the West
in general at this time and for the
next decade to come than Shoup,
Mcconnell and Hepburn combined.
The friends of the senior senator
should see to it that no man is sent
to the upper house from this state
this time who will impair the
gentleman's chances for reelection.
