PASSING OF w. B. ELDREDOE
An HonOred Idaho Citizen Called to
His Final Rest.

w. B. Eldredge died at his home in
Blackfoot at $40 o'clock on the after
noon of July 4. He had been ill since
the 11th of June and at times had beer
very low, while at other times there
was much hope of his recovery. With
the beginning of the present week it be-
came plain that the end was near, and
the long struggle ended on Tuesday al
the time stated.
Word was passed from lip to lip, and
the telephone and telegraph carried
the sad news to friends far and near.
A keen sense of loss pervaded the COM
munity, quiet evening was passed by
the citizens and all places of amuse.
ment were closed.
Mr.. Eldredge was born at Cleveland,
Tenn, in April 1867, and came to Idaho
at the age of 81, accepting a position
as salesman with the firm of Bible,
Brown & johnson, of Pocatello, where
he remained till 1891 when the firm
went out of business. He was with
the Blithe and Fargo Company till
1894 when he became post trader at
the Ross Fork Indian Agency where
he continued in business till the year
1900 when he took trip to Nome City,
Sitka and other places on the Pacific
Coast. Returning to Blackfoot in
August he went into partnership with
John G. Brown, one of his former en-
ployers at Pocatello.
One year ago he was married to Miss
Blanche Jones, daughter of Colonel j.
w. Jones who commanded the Idaho
Volunteers in the Spanish American
War. By his untimely death happy
home is broken up, and the sweet real
ity of the past few months passes into
memory.
Those who mourn his loss, besides his
wife, are his father and brothers, four
of the brothers being residents of Ten
nessee, and one of Pocatello. One of
the brothers was on his way to Black
foot at the time of the demise, and ar
rived Thursday evening.
After naming the immediate rela-
%;uac 1r,bo ,,oo,,rn h;c loec ua could not
express the feelings of the business
and social fabric of this locality and
that of Pocatello; if we did not class us
all in the throng that is bowed down
in profound sorrow at his departure
from us.
: The funeral will be conducted this
morning from the house at II o'clock.

A Hot Time.

At.1:30 Wednesday afternoon fire
was discovered at the fair grounds by
O. Buchanan who promptly rang
Central. "and through the operators
called out the town in few minutes.
Th ere were five race horses in the sta
bles and only one of them was saved.
The fire spread rapidly along the
line of stalls, and the people made a
fight at the end of the first section of
buildings there being three sections
in row with panels OF fence connect
ing them. Some of the first arrivals
had axes and part of the crowd tore
down fence and stabling, while others
removed large quantity of baled hay
which was stored in one section. Grit
ty girls and women came with quilts
and with tubs, boilers and buckets
filled with water, Mr.. Buchanan tnrn-
ed water down the ditch to the place,
and when the flames reached the sec
ond section, the building was covered
with quilts, and men and muddy water,
and the fire was conquered. The fight
lasted about thirty minutes, and was
exceedingly hot. Few persons had
any hope of success at first, land it look
ed as if the whole row was doomed.
About twenty five stalls were de-
stroyed, in which were Milt Russel's
roam mare, Will Scott's Sorrel Dan,
F.C. Willetts' Dixie, VIM. Mu.hull's
Billy Mulhill, two sets of harness, a
rubber tire cart, a rubber tire buggy
and lot of paraphernalia belonging
to the training stables.
The stock was in care of two colOred
men. who are said to be habitual
smoke RS, and who have also been in
the habit of heating water on open
fires near the stables. There was no
insurance on anything that was lost.
Especial credit is due to those who
responded to the alarm and who spared
nothing of their own that might aid
in getting the fire under control.

TWO MEN YIELD
UP THEIR LIVES

without warning and without affording
them an opportunity to battle with the
death dealing element. Neher was the
weaker one Of the two, and had not been
well for some days. 1t is likely that he
was overcome first and that Fernand
undertook to carry him out. The delay
and exertion of this task stood between
him and his own life, and his ma ame will
be recorded among those who yielded up
their own lives in the effort to save q
friend.
The funeral was conducted by Father
Van der Donkt of Pocatello, and the re-
mains we're laid to rest in the I. 0. 0. F.
cemetery Monday evening.

The Givens Reception.

Last Fridayevening about two hun
dred of the citizens of Blackfoot met at
the I. o. o. F. Hall to have farewell
visit with DR.. and Mrs. Givens who 60 to
Orotino to take charge of the new Asy-
lum to be built at that place.
During their 18 years of almost con-
tinuous residence they have made
a host of friends who regret their
departure but who are glad to know that
they will still cast their lot with Ida
hoans.
As the guests entered the beautiful
hall they we're met by members of the
reception committee who presented
them to the guests of honor at the head
of the hall, where all had little time for
conversation before minglIng with the
rest of the company tovisit among them
selves. The seating capacity of the hall
was all used, and guests invited one
another to take seats on the plush car
pets which they did, forming in little
groups to talk of old times when Idaho
was younger than it is now and DR.. and
Mrs. Givens came up from Oregon to
help reduce the sandy wastes east of
town to gardens, meadows and orchards,
and to review the careers of other per-
sons who have come and staid and crap
pied from year to year with the prob
lens of the locality and their individual
work. Many were mentioned who have
done their allotted part and been laid
away in the Silent City, and others of
whom little was expected, who have
made for themselves, each niche and
filled it, and yet others Of whom much
was expected, who have surprised them
selves and their friends by their success.
Connected with it all in some measure
were the guests of honor, and little
groups kept gathering around them to
have another chat, and to listen to the
doctors invitation to come over and eat
watermelons and shoot quail in their
season at Orofino.
At about ten o'clock short musical
program was rendered by the double
quartette, and F. s. Dietrich of Pocatel-
10, was called upon to make short
speech in which he reviewed some of the
events of the fourteen years of his ac-
quaintance with Blackfoot and it's citi-
zens, and paid a pleasing tribute to the
place and the guests of the occasion. At
torney Sam Rich also responded to re-
quest to speak, and showed why it would
be pleasanter to address an Orofino aud
fence in speaking of one who is to be-
come their friend and neighbor, than to
recount to Blackfoot gathering, the
things which they already know.
The musical program was closed by
all singing "God Be With You Till We
Meet Again" after which the great dou-
BILE doors were thrown open and they
were invited to assemble at the long
tables where some of the good things of
earth were spread in tempting array and
a bevy of maids and matrons attended to
every wish.
As the hour of midnight approached,
the good nights were repeated, and a
pleasant social event passed into mem
ory.
The company was indebted for the
music for the occasion, to Messrs Barn
hart, Danilson, Harris and Richards, the
Mesdames Barnhart, Richards and Will
son and the Misses Cherry and Wright.
