ANOTHER JOB OF
SAFE BLOWING
Port Byron Postoffice Is Broken
Open But Robbers Get
Only So.
EVIDENTLY WERE EXPERTS
Escape Without Leaving Clew of Any
Value-Iike Other Recent
Jobs HereabOuts.

A safe blowing, the second in the
village in the year and the third in
this community within a few weeks,
took place at Port Byron last eve
ming. Robbers, sometime between
the closing hour, and the time of
opening this morning, broke into the
postoffice building, knocked the knob
off the safe, inserted charge of
nitro-glycerine and blew the door
off. They are said to have gotten
only S. for their trouble.
AS in the case when the Port By
ron bank safe was blown last winter,
the store at Orion were robbed with
in the last few weeks, there is little
to serve as clews on which the Of
ficers can work. In all cases the ban
dts have made their escape without
attracting attention and left no trail
behind them 1t is believed that it is
all the work of the same gang, prob
ably Chicago crooks.
Take BIacksmith's Tools.
The Port Byron robbers secured
the tools with which they worked
from the blacksmith shop of David
Schaible. The outer door was enter
l.ed with skeleton key. Nobody
heard the explosion, the work evil

A movement which has for its Ill

hundreds of Greeks in this vicinity
and already the movement has as

aid in the form of funds has been
forwarded TO the old country. The
enthusiasm which is now manifest
among the former natives of Greece
was first stirred up last Sunday by

Jas. Montgomery, an old miner who
has been in charge of the Sinker creek
tunnel property, came to town yesterday
(Friday) and after attending to some busi-
ness matters started on his return trip
and was met on the other side Of the sum-

tried to get him to return to Silver with
him, but the old gentleman refused to do
so, saying that he would go on down to
Mr.. Branca's and stay over night there.
as 1t was but short distance. When the
stage went out this morning they found
his frozen body a short distance beyond
the point where the stage had passed him
the evening before. As Mr.. Montgomery
was about "a years old the trip over the
mountain proved too much for him. M.
Branca was notified and came in for a
conveyance to bring his body into town.

Short Notes OF Current
Events.

A fifty year lease of 6, 900 acres of min
eral land in Nez Perce County, given to
g. w. Thompson, noted promoter and
prominent politician Of the northern part
OF the state, has just come to light. 1t is
claimed thatin granting this lease the State
Land Board has kept all knowledge of
the transaction from the people and at
tempted to conclude the deal without an
investigation of the merits of the case by
the State Mine Inspectors or any one else,
and but for the opposition of our State
Superintendent OF Public instruction.
Miss Belle Chamberlain, they would have
succeeded in keeping the matter a secret.
1t seems that the Republican bosses in
Idaho as well as in Oregon have been un-
able to have their own way in every thing
when they ran up against an official by
the name of Chamberlain. There may
be something in name after all. AT
any rate Miss Chamberlain is to be con-
graduated on her decisive action in this
matter. We suppose the opponents Of
woman sufferage will see new grounds on
which to build their opposition, and will
probably say that a woman cannot grasp
the full meaning of public enterprise Of
this magnitude.

MASONIC ENTERTAINMENT.

Last Wednesday evening the officers
elect for Cyrus Chapter No. 2, r. A. NJ,

After Installation the Chapter jointly

M, gave an entertainment and banquet
to large number of members and guests.
Promptly at $3.50 O'Clock the grand
march was started, in which fully eighty
couples took part. The music was fur
nished by an orchestra of five pieces, con
sisting of violin, piano, clarinet, cornet
and trombone. The music was first class
and up to date and was well rendered by
the orchestra. The large dancing hall
was crowded with as jolly crowd Of
dancers as one ever met, many being
present from DeLamar, Dewey and Black
Jack and other surrounding localities.
The ballroom presented pleasing pic
ture, with the fine decorations, handsome
ladies clad in the latest of fashion, and
gentlemen all dressed out in their best
"bib and tucker, enjoying themselves in
dancing or listening to the excellent music.
Those not wishing to dance enjoyed social
games and partook of refreshments in the
lodge room and upper hail.
At $50 the guests were invited to par
take Of the banquet which was served at
the Idaho Hotel. The commodious din
inc room of this popular hostelry was ar
ranged to seat over 100 The tables were
beautifully decorated with flowers, cut
glass and elegant silverware, while an
ample supply of viands of all kinds that
could please the palate and entice the
APPETITE was served to the merry crowd,
who did ample justice OF the excellent re-
past. Over two hundred partook of this
banquet after which dancing was resumed
until about 4:30 in the morning.
This was the "swell'' affair of the sea-
son and young and old enjoyed themselves,
as it was "a sure cure' for the blues.

anything now, call anyhow or write us,

should not get offended for being asked
for what he justly owes another. Some
parties owe for several years for subscrip-
tions, as shown on the list, and if there is
any error we want to know it, and If no
answer is returned or "kick" made we
will suppose that the account is correct

we will turn over the account to our attor-
ney for collection. We will meet you
more than half way.
