Some Hot Times In the Old
Town.
EYERY LADY GETS A RIDE
No Excitement In Precinct Number One.
sharp Contest In Number Two Some
Get Excited and Others Excite the 9th
or Fellow Everybody Votes.

The caucus for Blackfoot pre-
einct No. / was held at the cour
house and was a very harmonious
affair. All matters that came III
before the meeting were discussed
and agreed upon, and the dele
gates nominated at the caucus
were elected at Mondays primary
as follows; Geo. A. Robethan,
f. +. McAtee, d. FL. Blethan,
@. b. Kinney, A. I'll. Simmons,
T. G. Johnston and A. w. Thomp-
son.
The caucus for precinct No. 2
was run BY and in the interest Of
a lot OF tlp-top people, but their
methods were Of the Lightning
order. They disregarded the
time-honored custom Of crystal
izing the will and wishes Of the
whole into a-ticket that all could
support, and did what the other
fellows probably intended to do
to them, and did it first. That
they had rehearsed the whole
thing somewhere else was plain;
and that they valued their time
pretty high was inferred. They
called to order at precisely 1860,
had a brief misunderstanding as
to the qualifications Of an elector,
nominated a slate by the package,
entertained and defeated an
amendment, adopted the original
and adjourned in about nine and
three-quarter minutes, before the
villain in the case had time to do
any harm. As the chief actors
and their followers filed out of the
house, some of the vile fellows
who had wanted to have a voice,
but who were modest about taking
the floor when somebody else had
it, glanced about and said srLo,
it is the end of us. = Then there
were humorous fellows who had a
love of fair play who said, "lf
youens want to hold other eau
cuses, and put other ticketes in
nominationes, youens can do it,
and then the villains and the
modest fellows and the fellows
who loved fair play, dominated
slate by the package and
adopted it, and went away feeling
just like the honest Democrats
will when they go to the polls to
knife Dubois.
On Monday all hands were on
deck arranging the sails and work
ing to get the proper slant on top
sail and jib boom and some jibs
that didn't have any boom. There
was a short sharp scrap for the
craftsmanship, and both parties
did lively work all the afternoon.

elected to go to the county con
yention at Idaho Falls OH Sep

game warden that picked up Oscar
Spotz this week for catching few
pike and pickerei at this end of the
lake. He is now locked up in the
county jail and his wife aud children
are living in tent out on the shore
of that wind swept lake, with barely
sufficient food and clothirg to keep
them alive If those worse than use-
less game wardens had showed half
ys much industry last spring thew
might have captured q score or
more of men taking black bass by

Of the lake. This thing has been
going on every spring since the law.

arrested except Spotz, who with only
one arm to work with, could hit no
other way to get his family through
the winter. The state department is
giving us 9 wonderfully Efficient ser
vice, and will undoubtedly help he
to save the bulLheads and the dog
fish and allow the black bass to be-
cleared out Of the lake with nets.

Cemetery Association.

The Summit Cemetery Associa-
ton held their annual met ting at
the Stevens County Rank on Tues.
day of this week. The following
officers we're elected
Pres.-John House.
Sec. and Actuary-D.T. Wheaton.
Treas o. G.. Hanson.
Trustees for three years-G. E.
Darling, w. F. Cooley and E. Nc
Ayeal.
The association decided to levy a
tax of 81 per lot for care of the ceme-
terry during the present summer.
The money for this care has been
largely raised by popular subscrip-
ton for the past three or four years.
The association hopes in due course
of time to have permanent fund,
the income of which will provide for
perpetual care.
The association now has sufficient
funds on hand so that they think
they will be justified during the pre-
sent summer in building vault, and
also hope in the near future to erect
small chapel. The vault, at least,
will probably be undertaken this
summer.
