Of highwaymen is not more increased
by the example Of Masheath than that

Frank Vanek has removed to Lavina,
where he will take charge of the
hotel and also conduct the blacksmith
shop.
Mrs. Fred H. Hathhorn, who spent
the summer and fall visiting in Cali
fornia and with relatives at Living
ston, returned last Saturday.
Next Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day evening the Reverend c.. b.. Miller,
pastor of the First Baptist church,
will speak at Park City on 4ne subject
of temperance.
Sunday evening, next, the neverend
G. b.. Miller, pastor of the Methodist
church, will deliver the annual tenn
.perance sermon. Services will begin
at 1880 o'clock.
w. N. Hassler, who has been fill
ing the position of foreman of the
Times composing room, is preparing
to remove with his family to Living
ston, where he will enter the employ
of the Post.
An order was received this morning
from Judge Loud staying execution
and all proceedings in the case OF
John Smith VS.. the Northern Pacific
Railway company until the motion OF
the defendant for a new trial shall
have been disposed of.
Next Monday the county commits
sioners will meet in regular session
for the purpose of auditing bills
against the county. Those having
claims against the county and failing
to submit tnem to the clerk before
Saturday evening will be compelled to
wait until the next regular meeting
of the board, as no bills will be con-
sidered that are. hled during the ses.
sion.
To secure a teacher for, the new
business department added to the cur
riculum of the city schools seems
to be a task almost impossible of &C.
complishment. Already two men have
been employed by the trustees and
neither has been able to come on,
although both appointments were
made upon personal solicitation of the
appointees. In order that institution
OF the new department may not be
longer delayed, the board has engaged
Harry l.. Wilson to fill the position
for a month, hoping meanwhile to be
able to secure a teacher permanently.
What to do with a l4-year-old boy
whom they are holding at headquarters
is a puzzle the police are trying to
solve. The lad was arrested on the
complaint of his father, Tony Cosgrif,
who says he is wholly incorrigible
and wants him committed to the re-
form school. AS only a district court
can order his commitment to that
institution, the authorities are at a
loss to know what to do with the
youngster. Meanwhile he is confined
in the city Jail and is taking his ar
rest and Imprisonment with the indif-
ference of one much older and more
hardened.
