Caused Much Domagc.

lhcy Ncrc Loaueo WIN rig Iron ana
Caused Much Damage.
Three cars loaded with pig iron broke
away from the locomotive on the mar
row gauged track above the blast fur
mace yesterday, and they dashed down
at a high rate of speed until they reached
the curve in the rear of Mrs. NJ. Robin
sons brewery. where they left the track
and went down high embankment,
landing on a small wooden bridge that
crosses the Roaring Brook and is used
by the company.
The runaway cars struck the bridge

above the blast furnace and pursued
the track that skirts the high wall and
runs to the South works.
1t was fortunate that no street cars
were passing when the cars crossed

The School Election.

At Mondays school election the citi-
zens of Biackfoot did themselves proud,
They reelected James McTucker trus-
tee and voted the special tax by vote
of nearly s to /.
Mr.. McTucker was entitled to the
unanimous expression Of confidence
given him. He has been in the school
service longer, perhaps, than any man
in the State, and has never followed
nor fallen short in any official duties.
He deserved the honor.
A defeat OF the tax would have
broken up the school measurably for
the next year. 1t could not have run
for more than three months and the
trustees could not have commanded the
services OF competent teachers for so
short term. AS it is now, the people
may confidently look for good school,
the equal of any in the State, and for
a full term.
The NEWS is not surprised at the re-
suits. 1t can always count on the good
people of Blackfoot doing the right
thing and at the right time. Their in
terest In school work and in the cause
OF education are marks OF noble pub
lie spirit not found in the people OF all
Western towns. Long may this people
live and prosper.
