BEGIN DRILLING
NEXT WEEK
Deep Well Drilling Outfit Arrived and
Will Be Started for Artesian
Basin at Medbury

The~~farge keystone drilling outfit
flor Hougen & Griffith has arrived and
will be started on a we'll at Medbury
.as soon as casing and coal is on tbA
<ground Tho machine is the largest
l-s4ze-tade by the Keystone Company
of Beaver Falls, Penn, and is COM
pletely equipped for deep we'll drill
ing with six and eight inch bits,
cable, complete set of finishing and
dressing tools, coal and tank wagon
and other tools found necessary.
Two expert drillers have been
secured to take charge of the rig
They will be assisted by experienced
tool dressers which will enable them
to drill without delay day and night.
There will be five men in the crew
including a man to haul coal, water
and provisions. 1t is expected within
a week to have the machine sending
a hole down to the artcsin basin that
underlies' all southern Idaho. Should
no acrcident occur, it is expected
water will be found in about two
weeks. But there always being ar
element of chance in boring deer
wells, an accident, such as losing 6
bit, getting one stuck, striking g
bowlder on side, will delay operation
for a few days only, for with skilled
drillers such accidents are only con-
sidered.
The success of this venture will
be watched with great deal of in
terest.

Funeral of Mrs. Reckmeyer.

The sad death and brief biography
of Mrs. Achsah Mulison Reckmeyer
was reported in these columns last
week. Very unusual public interest
centers in the funeral services last
Sunday at 9 80 in the forenoon.
Being a member of the order of the
Eastern Star the general arrange
ments were directed by the officers
of that fraternity Rev. c. E..
Mason gave short talk at the house,
"Lead Kindly Light was sung by
a quartette of ladies'. Rhoades,
Cowan, Wetherell and Austin as
sisted by Messrs. Caldwell and
Cowen. Mrs Wetherell sang a
beautiful solo. Very impressive
services were conducted by
the Eastern Star at the grave, the
several parts were given with much
feeling, the new arrangement for
lowering the coffin so slowly and
quietly while the ceremony was go
ing on gave such a sweet peaceful
impression of sinking down to rest
The closing hymn, "Nearer Ny God
to Thee" had oneness and an
uplift for dropping hearts. About
thirty teams besides the many who
walked were in the procession. The
flowers were most abundant and
beautifully wrought into wreathes,
cross. anchor, bouquets and other
emblems. The relatives present
were the husband. Mr.. Herbert E.

FUNDS RAISED
FOR THE FAIR
Committee Sent Out By Commercial
Club Secures Guarantee Fund
For Fair Expences

The committee appointed to solicit
a guarantee fund for the County Fair
this fall has succeeded in securing q
fund large enough to warrant the
club going ahead with the fair. A
general meeting of the club will be
held tomorrow tonight, June IL when
committees will be appointed for the
various departments to insure the full
and complete success of the fair. A
large representation of interested club
members should be present to boost
and help the movement and insure
for Elmore county the best and larg-
est fair we have yet had.
1t is time for decisive work. AL
ready the Boise fair has issued its
premium list, in fact copy was re-
ceiyed at this Office over a month
ago. The premium list should be
issued at once in order to give ex-
hibitors opportunity to prepare ex-
hibts properly.
The county should have better
exhibit of its products this year than
in the past. The promise of sufficient
water for irrigation this season has
induced the planting of the largest
acreage that has ever been under
cultivation in this valley and very
excellent samples of grains, grasses
and vegetables should be the result.
The band will be in excellent shape
by fair time and produce music equal
to any that has been heard at the fair
in past years. In fact there is no
reason why the fair will not be
better than ever.

Easy For Local Team.

The ball game last Tuesday after
noon between the famous Bloomer
Girls and the local team furnished
amusement for the largest crowd to
witness a ball game in this city for
many seasons. The crowd was at
tracted by the possibilities of seeing
good game of ball but was dis
appointed. The Bloomer Girls con-
sisted of four men and five girls.
The men were good players and held
down the important positions on the
diamond and the girls were sent out
in the field to stall for the men, At
bat it was the same thing. A girl
would be forced to first base and
the men would line up and attempt to
force her around for score but were
unable to succeed to point of win
ming the game.
| The home. team played good ball
and the visitors were at their mercy
from the first. AS it is was they
defeated them with a score of only
five to seven. The boys showed lack
of practice in every position. They
have material for very strong team
and could no doubt win the large
share of games this season, but in
order to do this some real practice
must be indulged in and whole LOT
of it. The city is interested in the
ball team and will support it liber-
ally but occasional victories will dc
more to secure popularity and sup
port than any one thing. The boys
are in line for splendid team and
will no doubt make good before the
season closes.

supply of his favcrite condiments, and
by arranging with the head waiter
these were placed on his table. One
day another guest saw the ppetizinG

asked the waiter to give him some of
"that sauce.
I'm sorry, sir, - said the waiter,
tbut it is the private property of this
gentleman. The minister, however,
overheard the others request, and
told the waiter to pass the bottle.
The stranger poured some of the
mixture on his meat and took lib
eral mouthful. After a moment he
turned with tears in his eyes to the
minister.

DESPERATE
DANKS LANDED
Men With String Of Grimes Across
State Finally Landed in jail
At HALEY


Clayton Danks. the desperate, who
has been creating considerable SEN
sation in this part of the state The
past week has finally been safely
lodged in the county Jail over in
Haley, Blaine. county.
His crimes. began at HALEY nearly
month ago where he committed
burglary and was forced into pistol
fght with Sheriff Taylor and Deputy
Sheriff Hart. fHeiescaped from Haley
after the fight and went to Bruneau
picking up horses on the way as the
ones he was riding became exhausted.
At Bruneau he broke into a saloon
and robbed the cash till and building
of its valuables and stared for a near
stable which he tried to enter to
secure a horse. He was frightened
away by a dog and started for the
open country: Next morning a posse
started in search ON horses and
tracked him in the direction of the
river. He left the road and Richard
Hodge followed his tracks some dis
tance into the sage brush, when on a
sudden he discovered Danks behind
cIump of sage with two revolvers
leveled at him. He fired at Hodge
when the horse wheeled and jumped
out of the way which no doubt saved
Hodges life. Hodge then dismount-
ed and taking his rifle fired at Danks,
the shot lodging in Danks' shoulder.
This disabled Danks and he gave
up the fight When the posse. be-
ing attracted by. the firing, came up,
the desperate begged to be killed
rather than captured and tried. He
stated that it was his intention to
wait till Hodge had passed him when
he was going to shoot him ine the
back. take the horse and escape.
/ He was brought to Mountain Home
last Sunday night by Sheriff Kreig. Of
Owyhee. At Nampa they took him tc
the Grand hotel and put him in room
1OS, on the second floor, while they
occupied rooms 3 and 4, there being
two rooms between the officers ano
prisoner. About two O'Clock he made
his escape from the room. Two wo-
men in an adjoining building saw the
man going out and they thought Q
robbery was being committed in one
Of the rooms of the hotel. One
watched while the other notified the
night clerk.
It was fully half an hour before the
sheriff and deputy were on the trail.
and by that time the man was gone.
He was captured on the farm of II.
A. Zimmer about mile east OF
town. Danks was about to enter the
thinner barn. when. on seeing Zim.
mer ne started off OH run. Zm-
mer secured his gun and followed in
pursuit The desperate, crippled
and suffering from his injured arm,
soon tired out and surrendered. Zim-
mer tovk the man to his house where
he held him prisoner until the arriva
of the officers Tonight he received
the reward of $50 which had beer
offered for his arrest.
The Owyhee county officers went tt
Nampa and secured the prisoner
Later he was taken to HALEY where
he will await the first and greate
offense.

column was rescued py the reinforce

The battle then became general,
the Spaniards endeavoring TO trap the
Moors between two lie of fire. The
tribesmen, however, were too wary
