the LIST of July ON.

general sentiment of the Chamber be-
ing favorable to holding the session

fer with the borad of county commits
isoners today and ask that liberal
donation be given the Chamber of

day by letter that Miss Ellen Fader,
who with Mrs. Wright conducted the
Brighton house. had been married in
Boise City. Idaho. on the 18th of the

that any one can make when he real
ICES that at long last Edwin Shaw.
former county clerk, deputy treasurer
and the holder of many other positions
of trust in this county, at last has
succumbed to Cupid's dart.
In the minds of great many peo-
pie Mr.. Shaw has been married num-
berless times to as many different peo5
pie. but in his quiet way he has sue
ceeded in fooling everybody and has
united his destinies to person whom
very few connected in any way with
Mr.. Shaw had the pleasure of know
ing.
The bride is a most esJimable wom-
an, who earned for herself in her bus
mess relations in this city most de-
sirable and enviable reputation. She
went from here, after selling her in
terest in the Brighton, direct to Boise
and was then married to Mr.. Shaw
All the old timers and many of Mr..
Shaw's old bachelor friends in this
city will feel chagrined that Ed. did
not let them into the secret. but in
this. as in all other transactions OF
his life. Mr.. Shaw kept his own coun.
sci.
At the present time Mr.. Shaw is
most successfully conducting the Peo-
ple's grocery store at Boise.

Ell UDE IRATE
MOTHER
OF the Woman in the Case and Have
Gone Where None Pursueth.


On Tuesday afternon telephone mes.
sage was received here from oarksburg,
says the Parkersburg Sentinel, to ar
rest a young married woman named Mil
lion, who had eloped from that place and
had come here on the accommodation.
Lieutenant Smith saw woman on the
Marietta train who answered the de-
scription, but as he had no warrant he
did not believe he had any authority to.
arrest her.
On the evening accommodation wo-
man giving the name of Dowd, and claim
ing to be the mother of the young woman
who elopcd, arrived here and besought
the aid of the police in locating her
daughter, who, she said, had eloped from
her husband with a gambler named Adj
kins, and had taken two children with
her. The mother remained here all day,
but was unable to get any tidings Of
her daughter and left on the evening
train.
An investigation here OF the above
story corToborates it except that Adkins,
whose first name is John, is cook in
the Pine Grove oil field, and not gaul-
bier. The woman in the case is the wife
of Albert dillon, tool dresser in the
oil fields, and she is the daughter Of Mrs
James Dowd, who conducts the Manhat-
ten restaurant here. She and her iriis-
band had not gotten along well together
for some time.

Clarence L. Bond, of this city, win in.
stitute,a suit for damages to the amount
OF $4,000 against L. w. zinn, poprietor
of hotel ut Buckhannon, for false ar.
rest and defamation of character.
Some days ago a warrant arrived here
from Buckhannon for the arrest of Bond.
He was charged in the warrant by Zinn
with obtaining money under false prc.
tense. The sheriff arrested Bond and
took him to Buckhannon, where he ap.
peared before a magistrate with proof
that there was no intent on his part 10
defraud zinn, and the charges were dis.
missed without trial of the case. The
litigation grew out of a check for $3.50
given by Bond July on bank here in
payment of the hire of livery team.
The banker failed to recognize the sig
nature when the check was presented
for payment and refused to cash it. The
swearing out of the warrant and the
arrest of Bond followed, but before he
went to Buekhanon TO face his accuser,
he secured a letter from the cashier Of
the bank, showing that he had bal.
ance in the bank far more than enough
to cover the check given to Zinn.
The suit viii be instituted at the next
ules. Mr.. Bond has retained Attorney
j. f. Law to bring the suit.

PANIC in
CROWDED
CIRCUS TENT
NARROWLY AvERTED AT EVENING
PERFORMANCE OF GENTRY BROS. 3
DOG AND PONY SHOW.
SEVERE WIND AND RAIN STORM
BLOWS up JUST. AS SHOW
COMMENCES.
Cool -Headedness of Circus Employees Pre-
vents a Stampede Among Large
Crowd of People -Performanc
Under Difficulties.


A panic in a show tent full of people
was narrowly ayerted at the evening per-
formance of the famous Gentry Brothers
dog and pony show given on the bail
grounds at the East End ball park
Thursday. Only the cool-headedness of
the circus employees prevented STAN
pede for the open, and if such.a thing had
happened it would have meant injury to
many.
A few minutes before the time for the
commencement of the performance, and
when nearly all of the large crowd which
had assembled to witness the show had
been comfortably seated, sudden wind
and rain storm blew up. The rain be-
gan to pour down. Water began to leak
in parts of the tent, and on the ground
under the seats small rivulets triekled
a tangled way, catching the feet and
dresses of those who sat in the front
rows.
As is usually the case under such cir
cumstances, the women became fright
ened. They all arose and stood on their
seats. This started general movement,
and nearly the whole audience rose AMI
started on a move towards the tent en-.
trance. For an instant pandemonium
reigned. The rain began to pour down in
such volume that it literally Numbered
against the canvass tops and walls of
the tent. People thought the wind would
blow the tent down. The guards with
the show ran around and yelled to them
all to be seated, that there was no dan
ger. Cries of "don't go out in the rain"
somewhat broke the impetus of the NOV
ing crowd, and after some little confu
sion, everybody was properly seated
again. The circus guards hurriedly pre-
pared everything about the tent for such
an emergency The big center lights
were lowered, the proper ropes tightened,
poles shifted, etc, to prevent any pos
sible danger.
The storm soon blew over, and the per-
formance commenced. 1t was under diff
ficultics, however, as the circus rings, the
carpets and properties were wet from the
small streams of water which found their
way into the center of the tent from
the outside. The program had to be
shortened and some of the features omit
ted.
The performance as given, however,
was excellent and more than pleased
those who were there. The little train.
ed animals were very good. Their diff
ferent nets and Stunts" showed patient
training on the part of their owners. One
of the most amusing stunts in the whole
performance was the one called the "Sny-
der act" In this three dogs dressed
up to represent Mr.. and Mrs. Snyder and
little baby Snyder, initiated human be-
ings so cleverly in their way that it
brought roars of laughter from the au-
dience.
A concert performance was given after
the regular performance, the most inter
esting feature of which was the little
monkey "looping the loop" in miniO,
ture automobile.
