ON FIELD or HONOR.
Two Emmett Lads Engage
in Fistic Duel.

Two Emmett young men settled
their differences in q 4O-acre prize
ring. just outside the city limits, al
high noon on Tuesday. 1t was a
battle royal between the armv and
navy, and from the best informa
tion obtainable. the army won
though the referee declared the
fight draw.
The trouble arose Monday night
at the hall, when the army called
the navy - and the navy threw
the insult back in the army's teeth.
A challenge was issued, the wea-
pons to be fists, teeth aud toe nails;
time. high noon; each man to select
his own seconds. aud the best man
to win. 1t was strictly exclusive
affair, only immediate friends of
the hostile forces being present
There were no preliminary bouts,
and the battle royal began on time.
1t was hair pulling, skin rails
ing contest. In the first round, the
navy got first blood by a scratch
on the nose. and the army secured
the first handful of hair. There
was some lively wordy sparring.
and the round ended by the army
landing a knock down punch and
the navy falling in a soft bed of
mud IN ditch. Time was called |
until the mud could be washed off, |
when the second round was called.
In this round, the combatants
hurled great big gobs of language
It each other and the spectators
ook to the woods. A little more
cratching. few more hair pull
ing, and again the army hoored
he navy and the round ended with
he navy in a mud puddle. The
White flag was run up on the battle
hip and cessation of hostilities
until the terms of sur /
ender could be arranged, and by {
lutual consent the awful war was
1ded. The referee decided the
ontest was draw, and each COM a
atant was satisfied his honor had r
zen victoriously defended. I

Depositors Have Lost Little.

People who talk about bank fail
ures resulting in big losses to de-
positors little know what they are
saying. The loss is so small on
the average that the figures will
prove interesting. In the last forty
years losses to depositors by bank
failures have been seventy FIVE
cents to very $40, 900 of deposits.
The risk is therefore about at that
rate, or seven cents for every 800
on deposit. Persons who think of
boarding money for safety to them
selvles, without regard to its effect
in aggravating the money string
ency and in throwing men out of
work and making times bad,
might debate with themselves
whether the seven cents to be saved
is worth the cost.

Negotiations are now under way

A gentleman who is connected

The plant was installed last

Inierurban Mail Service.

The mail service from Boise tc
Caldwell over the Interurban, &C
cording to The Statesman, is to be
given rehearing before the de-
partment at Washington. Some
time ago an inspector came. out
from Washington and looked into
the advisability of this change in
the service and to consider the
beIHhts that would be brought
about for the intervening territory,
in that to all these parts mail could
be delivered several hours earlier
each day. One official after another
passed upon the matter until it
finally reached the second assistant
postmaster general. where the pro-
position was ''pigeonholed. Dur
ing the last week parties interested
took the matter up with representa-
tives in Washington. and word has
been received that further consid-
Grafton will be had and requesting
the filing of additional papers with
the department. The carrying of
yhe mail over the Interurban would |
not only greatly benefit the towns
en- route, but all other points where
these served as junction points, and
the rural routes going out of. Mid
dleton. At Star the mail for Pearl
and Horseshoe Bend would be re-
ceived several hours earlier; at
the earlier arrival of the
mail would save several hours in
the service for Emmett and Long
Valley and the Thunder Mountain
country; at Caldwell, for Boise
mail, connection would be made
with the Jordan Valley stage. Mail
leaving the city on the early morn
ing car would reach many points
several hours earlier, and some
hat are not now accessible on the
same day.

INTERURBAN COMING
Material Ordered For Ex-
tension to Emmett.

There seems to be no longer any
doubt that the Interurban will bt
built into Emmett the coming
spring, and it is possible the line
will be extended down the valley
as far as Weiser.
Material has already been order
ed for the Emmett extension from
Star. 1t consists of 35 miles OF
heavy steel rails, wire, poles and
additional cars.
The extension down the valley
has not been definitely decided
upon. w. E. Pierce, president of
the road, left Boise this week for
Pittsburg to confer with the capit-
alists back of the Interurban in re-
gard to the extension to Weiser
In view of the fact that those inter
ested financially in the present line
are more than pleased with the re-
suits thus far of operations, it is al
together probable this extension
will be ordered, thus giving the
lower Payette valley the railroad
facilities SO long coveted.
1t is understood the Interurban
company will ask some assistance
from Emmett, and this will be
willingly given. The annual
meeting of the Commercial Club
will be held Friday, January "a.
and this matter will be given prop
er consideration at that time

WORE FALSE HAIR IN OLD AGE
Common Practice of EngIishmen In
Reign of Henry |.


English history is rich in examples
Of the way in which the fashion in
boards has changed from time to time
The spies sent OUT by Harold reported
that the Norman Invaders "did almost
seem to be priests, because they had
all their face and both their lips
shaven," which is confirmed in the
Bayeux tapestry. II was to distinguish
themselves from their hated conquer
ors that the English wore their hair
long. Stow speaks of long hair as well
as boards in Henry Is reign: Men
contended with women in their long
haires and when this decayed through
old age, they knit about their heads
certain rolls and braidings of false
hair" The monk Wulstan described
the practice of wearing the hair long
as immoral, criminal and beastly"
When one of his long-haired flock
knelt for his blessing, it is said thar
ne would whip out knife and cut of
rs many of the tresses that lay under
lis consecrating hand as he could
manage in the rather limited time at
lis disposal.
