Right Leg Broken.

w. A. Reynolds received a letter
a few days-ago from HALEY, saying
that T. G. Boardman of Mountain
Home had his right leg broken by
a kick from a horse on Aug. Goth.
He was on Willow creek, at the
mouth of Beaver creek, when the
accident happened. and was leading
a horse. Another horse was follow
ing alongside of him, and still an
other was ahead of the animal he
led. The led horse reached his
head forward and bit the horse
ahead, which caused HIM to kick
striking Mr.. Boardman's leg and
breaking it just below the knee.
He was taken to Haley and DR..
Brown set the leg.
Mr.. Boardman owns a nice ranch
up Canyon creek, about 7 miles
from this place, and is a large
sheepraiser. We suppose he was
looking after his bands of sheep
when the accident occurred. Mrs.
Boardman fortunately is with her
husband on Wood river. Their
many friends here hope that Mr.,
Boardman may soon recover from
the injury.

A Wooden rlill Project.

City Marshall James Carroll a
few days ago received the following
letter, and Immediately interviewed
many of our best citizens relative to
the matter, and he informs us that
he has met no one but who is will
ing to aid in the enterprise. If Mr..
" ilbur should visit this place, and
explain his plans and purposes it
might greatly facilitate the enter
prise. Following is the letter,
which Mr.. Carroll will promptly
answer:
SALEM, Or. Sept. 1, 1899.
Dear Sir:-I wish to locate and
operate a wooden mill in Idaho to
make cloth, fiannels and blankets,
and want to acquire some informa-
ton about your town. What are
the facilities for getting wool and
fuel and price of each. Is there avail
able water-power-say IS horse
power. Is the water hard or soft.
Do you think local capital could
be interested provided a satisfactory
showing was made as regards
profits. Such a mill would employ
about rs people and consume $780,
900 pounds of wool annually.
JOHN P. WILBUR,
Salem, Oregon.
Every question asked can be
answered favorably for the enter
prise and we trust our solid men,
as we'll as the village trustees, will
take the matter in hand and in
duce Mr.. Wilbur to visit us.

Amidst the plaudits for these heroes COM
ing home,
A sigh for those who fell-the unreturning
braves
Upon these fadeless garlands, drop a tear,
for they
Who sleep in distant islands, dead In alien
graves.
Amidst this glory and this high acclaim, let
sound
One note of sorrow in a p~laintive minor
strain,
One tone of dirge-like music in the paen OF
praise,
For those whose names are numbered
with the noble slain.
For them the lights are out, the rafting
drums are still,
No reveille can ever reach their dust
stopped ears,
Their hero hearts are pulseleSS and their
feet are. bound
In deaths uny!elding chains, for all the
future years.
But though their hearts are dust and silence
seals their lips,
Their deeds will live, for soldier valor
never dies;
~lustrous names are writ on Fame's
eternal page
In living characters, as constant as the
skies.
Then midst the folds of yonder flag they
loved SO well,
Entwine a sable cord, in memory of the
dead,
And as the living heroes tread the soil Of
home,
For those who march unseen, make bare

welcome the Firs Nebraska.

"tico"e the fiFtt NeorhNkHs
Come all and give a welcome
To the boys so brave and true
The boys Of the First Nebraska,
And calamity followed "0ld Glory"
Through many a bloody fray
With the Spaniards and Fiipinos,
In Luzon, far away.
Ring the glad bells in welcomed!
Ringl until everyone
Shall understand the tidings,
our First Nebraska's come"
Give them a smiling welcome,
Though tears your eyes may blind,
For there's many a gap In the ranks today
And dear comrades left behind.
Spread them a feast; there is nothing
Too good for the boys who bore
Hunger and thirst without murmuring;
Wounded and sick and sore
They waded through swamps, swan rivers,
Were pierced by thorrs in the brush.
But when trenches were charged, our Ne
braskas
Were always the first in the rush.
Greet them as v%ictors returning.
Crown them with laurels of fame.
Through long, weary months of peril
They upheld our nations name,
And proved to every country
on the face of this grand old earth,
That the greatest nation or all the free
Is the land of their native birth.
Then welcome our patriot soldiers,
Who have always upheld the right.
And proved by their valor, our volunteers
Are the strength of our nations might.
Then wish them health, and wish them
wealth,
Give three cheers and a tiger, too,
For the boys of the First Nebraska
To whom all honor's due.

The First Shot.

Guard we'll the line, o sentries,
And keep the city clear.
No hostile horde shall swarm within
To taunt with jibe and jeer.
The flag that floats above us,
The flag we brought from home.
IT'S fixed to fly forever
On Manila'S proudest dome.
Out where the First Nebraskans
Lie sleepless on the ground;
The sentries firm, unyielding,
Are brave as can be found.
The ricefelds TEEN with natives,
Full well equipped for war
Against a flag that never
Has lost a single star.
And On the distant jungles,
Where sullen watch fires glow,
Are tribes Of fierce Tagolos
Who walt to strike a blow.
Their. guns CLEAN in the freight,
Their cries ring through the air.
Assault our s%entries there.
Half devil and half child
Their semi-savage antics,
Their war songs weird and wild.
Tell of a past condition
And of the was ted years
OF Spain's unjust oppression
That brought but blood and tears.
They're crowding close the Gordon
That girts the city round;
Their foremost men are standing
Upon forbidden ground.
Halt! Advance and give the sign;
You must not trife here;
Go back n tell your leaders
There is no weakness here!
"Corp'ral, the guard number nine,'
Was heard a sentry's cry.
ooh let your gun be silent,
But they must not pass you by"
Now failing in each effort
To rouse the sentry's ire.
They crowd around him closer
TIL he is forced to fire.
The shot that broke the tension
Performed its mission well,
From one poor Filipino
Burst forth a dying yell.
Now to your posts, o buglers,
These are no false alarms,
Let ev'ry braZen trumpet
Sound forth the call ITO Arms"
Our hosts have been triumphant
In ev'ry fight n fray,
The Stars and Stripes will not come dow
Until the judgment day.
Fen then some soldier sinner
VIII raise them with a yell
And with him proudly bear them,~
To heaven or to hell.
Omaha, Neb. DAVID RITTER.
