At Glenn's Ferry.

At Glenn's Ferry.
The ball Of the Brotherhood d
Locomotive Flremen at Heron
hall on the 18th was one of tn,
grandcst affairs ever held in thi,
county, and decidedly a success,
socially and financially. All tn,
gallant fremen and engineers, a.
well as the trainmen of the third
and fourth districts, with theii
sweethearts and wives, were there
IN bright array. The hall was most
deliberately and yet tastelully dec.
GRATED with flags, evergreenc and
bunting, and red, white, blue and
green lanterns burning amid the
drapery, made most pleasant eff
feet to the eye. In addition to the
lanterns and gas jets locomotive
headlight, set up at the head of the
hall, threw its rays over the Assem-
blage. On the east and west walls
the emblems of the order, the SCOOP,
coal-pick and tallow-pot, together
with the banners of the order.
The dances were started by the
ringing OF an engine bell set up for
the occasion, and the music bv
Chapman's orchestra, from Boise,
was perfectly ''au fait" for the affair.
Nothing occurred to mar the pleas
ure of the occasion, and it was
source Of unalloyed enjoyment to
all present. Dancing was kept up
until day break, when all left home
ward bound, well pleased with every
feature of the occasion.
A bountiful supper was spread at
midnight at the Stockton hotel, to
which the guests did ample justice.
There are but few Of the old fire
men of Glenn's Ferry to-day with
us-and jolly, good, whole-souled
fellows they were. But the boys of
of to-day at the Ferry who handle
the scoop and the coal-pick are
worthy representatives Of those gone.
