that there was another band of she. p
higher up the canyon that was to be
dipped and the same procedure re
sorted to. They promptly served
notice, howeSe that any flu ther
pollution of the stream would be
vigorously prosecuted.
There are laws both ag ainst the
pollution of any stream, and espec-
tally strong laws against putting
poison in a stream.
Tuesday an injunction was served
against Mr.. Crane enjoinlng him
from allowing any more sheep dip
to flow into any of the tributaries
of Montpelier creek. The dipping
continued as usual, but they say
they will not let any more of the
material used out of the vat.
Mr.. Crane says regarding the
/ matter, that it was all mistake OF
one of his men and that he had nc
intention of putting the people OF
Montpelier to any trouble or causing
them any unpleasantness. He says
he is as sorry about the matter al
anyone could be and will take thu
utmost care in the future.

Relatives were Notified of His Condition but Gave
Him no Help in Dying HourS-Body Laid
in Pauper's Grave.

After two weeks Of suffering from
an attack of paralysis Andrew
Meservey, aged 81 years, died at
the Rose Hotel last Sunday, a
charge of the county. Although he
has a number of relatives living who,
are in good circumstances, they
made no answer to the letters tell
ing of his suffering and left him to
die friendless and alone, and allow
ed his body to be inferred in a
pauper's grave.
Mr.. Meservey was fairly well
known in Montpelier, having
followed the vocation of travelling
painter. On several occasions he
has spent some time working in
Montpelier. His first appearance
here was about years ago when
he did some work for L. b. lev
rich.
| The deceased was working for
Mrs. Burgoyne when he took sick.
l He was well and able to work in
the afternoon, but that night was
aiken with paralysis and was unable
o move from then until the time
of his death. Mr.. Leverich, who
had taken liking 10 the man anC

INSTALLING new MACHINERY AT
The BONANZA MINE THIS WEEK
Pump with $50 Gallons per Minute Capacity
Arrived Wednesday--Work Again Resum-
ed on the Shaft.

Work on the Bonanza Mine will
be commenced again at once. The
large pump arrived in town last
Wednesday and all haste is now
being used to get the new machinery
into operation and proceed with the
work on the mine.
The shaft on the Bonanza mine is
to be ran to a depth of 600 feet.
At depth of s75 feet the managers
found that the water rushed in SO
fast their pump could not keep
them clear of water. A new pump
was ordered and the delay in Its
arrival made il necessary to suspend
operations for some time. The
pump is now here and will remove
the water from the shaft at tho
speed Of $50 gallons per minute
Thia capacity they hope is sufficien
to allow them to go ahead with tn
work without further bother iron

Sheep dip was the fayorite bever-
age of the Montpelier people last
Thursday and Friday. 1t is hardly
right TO say this beverage was a
favorite, but it was perhaps the
most widely used on that day, for
every bit of water that run down
the hydrants of the Montpelier water
works was tainted with sheep dip
and the odor and taste were so plain
that everyone who used the water
roticed it.
The rank condition Of the water
was called to the attention of DIR.

of this city. DR.. Poynter in his
usual prompt manner started out to
discover and remedy the trouble for

the water that this condition could
not endure for but a short time
without the people suffering thereby.
Councilmen Mike Malone and Frank
Jones and Mayor Fred Cruickshank
accompanied DR.. Poynter on his
quest and when the, had traversed
up the canyon for some little dis
tance looking for the cause of the
trouble they came onto a sheep camp
and a large band of sheep. The
sheep were owned by Will Crane,
but be was not there personally.
The party at once imagined they
had found the trouble and started
out to discover ii there were any
dead sheep in the creek. During
their search they quizzed the mana
ger of the sheep camp and found ou
they had been dipping the large herr
of sheep the day before. Upol
questioning him they found that b
had allowed the sheep dip to rul
into the creek as fast as they finish

Have you seen that new hook and
ladder outfit, built by the Mont
pelier Fire Department. If you
haven't just watch for 1t when it
comes out on the street or walk
down to the fire headquarters and
look it over. You will think you
are in Chicago or Pocatello or some
other great metropolis to see such
fire equipment. If there is any
body in town who isn't proud of it
he is most unappreciative, and if
there is anyone who isn't equally
proud of the Volunteer fire fighters
who have secured all this equip
ment entirely through their own
effolts, then public spirit and
enterprise are not valued at their
true worth.
Here is list of the new equip
ment so the people can realize what
the firemen have been doing these
DAYS since they made some money
out of dance and base ball game,
and how they have been spending
the money.
First and most important, hook
and ladder truck was built. This
is the equipment, Two axes. hooks,
chains and rope, lantern, bucket,
two extension ladders "a feet long,
two 1" foot wall ladders with hooks
for roofs, two rubber coats, one

covers to protect merchandise ol
household goods from damage by

equipment may sound very ordinary
