st. Anthony, Ida, Aug. 9.-While Salt
lake has been having her Lord
l3eresford Hope" ST. Anthony and vi
cinity have also had their Gentle
man from France" with large ideas for
the establishment of large enterprises,
with the other fellow putting up the
cash. Mr.. William j. DeCoursey is now
n much-sought man by those who
played their confidence in him. win
much gusto he entered the stock dis
trict, heralding himself as a great
horseman. His credentials looked good
and in the social circle he also played
a Ward McAllister part. With the
cold cash of one G. r. Mainquist the
gentleman brought some fine pedigreed
horses into the country, and the firm
Of Mainquist s. DeCoursey were the
business people" of the country.
DR.. II. p. Collins also became an ad-
nlirer OF the French gentleman to the
amount of $691 while people In the
Teton basin hOnored the highly cultured
gentleman's check, but one day a fine
horse belonging to the firm was sold,
notes being taken i'll part payment,
which were cashed at the ReXburg
banks. The treasury of the firm was
depleted and the French gentleman
left while the other parties were out of
town. on leaving he gave out to the
papers that he was going direct to
France to make some purchases of fine
blooded stock. but just where Mr.. De-
Coursey and the cash went is the ques-
ton that the officers of the law are
desiring TO know, as well as many other
gentlemen who carry a green taste IN
their mouths every time they think of
their pleasant association with the gem
tleman. MI Mainqust is a heavy
loser. while others are now getting
checks returned to them marked mo
funds"
The event Of 1906 for eastern Idaho
will be the big fair which has been de-
cided upon for Sept. IS, 10 and 20.
Thousands of dollars viii be given
away in premiums. The agricultural
and stock display viii be an especial
feature. People from far and near are
already taking an active interest in this
department of the fair, for ii is known
that no county i'm the west has made
greater strides in so short a time than
has Fremont county i'm these lines. The
best horses of Idaho, Utah and Wyom-
ing will enter the races and make IL the
best meet so far held in Idaho. The
people of this section are unitedly bend
ing every effort to make it the fair of
the season.
The new st. Anthony Independent
Telephone company has been reOrgan-
lied and has put force of men to
work putting in poles and preparing
for the new station to be installed

ing over the state and probably into
other states. Their line will connect
with the Utah Independent line at
Idaho Falls, thus giving a connection
with Salt Lake City, Ogden and other
Utah points. Mr.. Edward Carey, man
ager of the local Bell office, has re-
signed from the latter company and
will look after the interests of the other
company in this district. This is a
large enterprise and is strongly backed
by st. Anthony capitalists.
