The event proved very successful.
both socially and financially. Assist.
ed by a number of friends the pupils
of the school furnished splendid
ed especially enjoyable
After the program boxes and neck
ties were distributed for which a
small sum was charged. The latter
was to be matched, and partners thus
obtained for supper.
Following refreshments were a num-
Der of games in which young people
took part.
With the proceeds the beginning of
a good library may he made. 1t
speaks well for the interest and en-
thusiasm of the teacher in making an
effort to supply long felt need.
Every school in the county should
possess a library. containing not only
children's books but also supplement
tary textbooks for the teachers use.
La Plata county is fortunate to pos
sess a number of teachers who are
truly interested in the welfare of their
pupils. These are not only doing
their work well but are doing far
more than they are paid for.
1t is well for social boards to note
who these teachers are, since. speak.
ing without pessimsm such as these
are hard to find. 1t will pay to keep
such teachers in our schools. They
more than earn the difference in sal
airy required to do so. The laborer is
worthy of his hire and the skilled
workman of better pay.

A well developed rib and glancing
bullet. saved the life of Ben Johnson,
n young man Of this city lost night,
the revolver from which the bullet
sped being in the hands of Joe Shields,
son of George Shields of this city
The shooting took place on the side
walk between the Cueter and Keg sa-
looms. The Herald has been unable to
ascertain the exact particulars, but
we understand the young men were
quarreling over some trivial matter
when Shields pulled the revolver and
fired, the ball striking just to the
right of the center OF the abdomen,
striking rib and being detected to
one side, simply causing flesh
wound. Shields was interviewed by
a Herald reporter this morning, but de-
clined to talk any more, that he knew
nothing of the transaction until land
ed in the county Jail by Under Sher-
iff Thompson. He said himself and
Johnson had been good friends. The
two young men have worked together
as hod carriers, but are now employed
by different contractors. Shields is
about % years old and Johnson about
the same age.
Shields is confined in the county
Jail while johnson is around town. 1t
is understood that no prosecution will
follow-that Johnson will not enter
