Destroyed by Fire.

Last Wednesday afternoon, the
9TH, we were startled by the
cry of fire at about 2 o'clock. 1t
was soon discovered that DR.. L.
p. Jacobsen's S beautiful residence
in the east part of town was on
fire. After hard work the flames
were extinguished, probably
doing 5000 worth of damage. 1t
is said that the fire originated by
the children tipping over a light
ed lamp which soon exploded.
At 7:30 o'clock on the same after
noon the fire broke out again, for
it evidently had not been extin-
guished as supposed. This time

almost regardless of cost, and
was the best built residence in

We are told that the building and

our streets, although "bikes"
fitted past quite often, until IL a.
m. when FL. j. Jones, marshal of
the day, formed a line of march,
and all marched to the music of
the Challis Cornet Band to the
picnic ground just below and
across the avenue from DIR. l.. p.
Jacobsen's once beautiful resi-
dence, but which now lies in des-
olate ruins. The line of march was
down Main street;thence north on
Fifth street; thence east on First
Avenue to the grounds. At this
place we broke ranks and sought
rest in the refreshing shade on
the banks of Garden creek; the
children made the grove merry
with laughter and song; the
young ladies and gentlemen
found a cool and quiet retreat
under the shade of the branches
of the Cottonwood and spoke
words of love; the old folks con-
gregated together in different
places and exchanged friendly
greetings.
Order being restored; the mer-
ry laughter of the children was
hushed words oflove half spoken
and greetings were not finished.
At this time the exercises com
menced by a chorus of young
girls and boys singing "Ameri-
ca" Then followed the reading
of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, by DIR. J. B. Cutter, who
performed his part of the pro-
gram in very creditable man
ner. This was followed by the
Band rendering a very approp-
riate selection-"America. The
next on the program was a dec
lamation by Evan Stephens, the
young Patrick Henry of Idaho,
entitled 1.-The Destiny of Our
Country" He is a fine speaker.
The Band then gave US the Red,
White and Blue" and a number
of other patriotic selections.
Right here we feel that it is but
right and just to compliment the
Band on the advancement that
they have made, when we con-
slider the disadvantages in keep
ing a band together in Challis.
The next part of the program
was an important feature of the
day-it was the pic-nic-it was
important because it meant
something to eat. Three long
tables had been spread by the
ladies, and to say that they were
almost breaking under the weight
of choice viands, gathered from
all directions in the town and
valley, but half expresses the
truth of the situation. And the
way we all did eat was caution.
This concluded the exercises at
the grounds.
The crowd, which was quite
large by this time, as many had
now arrived from the up-river
mines and the valley, marched
to the racing ground in front of
o. e. Penwell's residence on
First Avenue, and following is a
program of the races
