diary Of July. 1884, says, "After din.
Ener we repaired to the grove and held
service, it being the first we have
had on the trip. spoke from the
text Whether therefore ye eat OF
drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to
the glory Of God"
He was on his way westward to
establish mission among the In
dams, and it has since developed in
Willamette university, at Salem,
Oregon.
V The party took pictures of the
grove and the little glade in which
the service of 76 years ago is thought
to have been held, and the Indian
guide, Charlie Lytle, who took the
party to the spot, was pleased to
stand in the center of the scene with
Old Glory at his side and flower,
the Indian paint pot, in his hand,
when the photo was taken. They also
took picture of Snake river, for it
was at this point that Marcus and
Mrs. Whitman and Mr.. and Mrs.
Spaulding forded the river in 1895,
these ladies being the first white
women to cross the Rocky mountains
and go to the ccast.
After taking the picture the party
trimmed small tree free of limbs
to the top, and lashed flag to it,
leaving 1t to indicate to people travel
ing on the proposed new steamer, the
location of the famous ford and the
fort.
Another picture was taken is that
of the grave, which they decked with
a wreath and flag, and in the land
scape included the view of the grove
and site of the old fort.
The Republican is having plates
made to print the pictures, and will
give some very interesting history in
connection with them. Photos may
be had at Cutters studio, now in
charge Of Mr.. Dresser.

MARKED OLD FORT
HALL

On Wednesday, July 9th, party
consisting of Rev. C. A. Edwards, Jos.
H. Cutler and the editor of the Re-
: publican went to Ft. Hall bottoms to
find and mark the place where the
flag was first raised in the state of
Idaho, and where just 76 years ago
Wednesday the first Protestant SER
mon was preached west of the Rocky
mountains. Ft. Hall became su i'm
portant place in the strategic and
diplomatic work that gave the Ore
gon country to the United States, and
Ezra Meeker has made some unsuc-
cessful attempts to find the exact To-
cation of it.
It Is about 18 miles southwest of
Blackfoot, some three miles above
the Tilden bridge, and about 100
yards from Snake river, on the edge
of a magnificent meadow of thousands
of acres.
The old trenches that constituted
the place of defense against attack,
are still in evidence but are over
grown with rye grass. The buildings
were all removed during the sixties"
On July 27, 1884, just after the Sun
day service, a man was killed in a
horse race, and he was buried the fol-
lowing day, the first known Christian
burial in the state, and the grave is
still in evidence on an eminence a
few hundred feet from the site of the
buildings.

ground at the rear of the old fort,

Monday evening Bob Graham, man
ager of the Pocatello base ball team,
finding time hanging heavy on his
hands while waiting for train home
engaged in foot race with Perry,
for $50 side bet, the race to be for
s150 yards and Perry to beat Graham
one yard for every years difference in
their ages, which allowed the latter
"a handicap of 80 yards. The stake
money was placed In the hands OF
Smith, pitcher Of the Pocatello team,
and the race run, Graham lost by
about feet. Night Watchman Van
derwood and Deputy Sheriff Bucklin
thinking it was not right to let the
visitors furnish their own amusement
hastily summoned kangaroo court
in. the Commercial club rooms with
c. B. Wheeler as Judge. After ar
ranging the details such as law books
and other accessories and putting a
few OF the club members wise" the
officers of the law went down and
arrested Bob Graham for gambling.
Graham, until he saw Judge Wheeler,
whom he knew personally, was very
much disheartened man and was un-
able to conceal his feelings. After
his arrival at the Commercial club
rooms and seeing who was presiding
as judge he readily entered into the
game and agreed to pay a fine of $50

client off with fine of $25 dollars orr

the money expected to serve his time

to his rescue by offering to pay the
fine. Smith, who seemed to scared
to say anything, certainly looked
grateful and Immediately disappeared

PIONEER DAY AT BLAcKFooT

| Monday was observed as pionee
day here. The day was perfect, tn,
attendance was good and resident
and visitors enjoyed a day of rest ant
recreation.
There was a parade in the morn
ing consisting of emblems of the in
dustrial development of the valley
beginning with the covered wagon.
with their camp fixtures and the
tools and implements needed for be-
ginning agriculture, handcarts, such
as We're used by some of the early
settlers of Utah to transport theil
belongings across the plains, large
floats with flora and cereals, Others
representing education and art and
luxury achieved.
Some participants in the parade
had seen service in making all the
parts of history shown in the parade,
but for the most part it is now in the
hands of generation that followed
the pioneers. B. H. Mitchell Of Riv-
erside contributed to the handcart
exhibit box and brass kettle which
his mother hauled across the plains
In a cart which she drew.
AT the court house, some Of the
members of the Choral association
rendered patriotic songs and Geo. H.
Brimhall of Provo delivered an ad-
dress touching on historic subjects.
In the beginning he proposed three
cheers for pioneer in musical effort
here, referring to Prof. Rowdon, d.
rector Of the Choral association.
This address was followed by a
paper by Mrs. Vance and more ltus-
ical numbers.
The afternoon was spent in the
park until four o'clock when the ball
game was called at the fair grounds.
The game was well attended, and
was one of the best ever pulled OF
at Blackfoot. A full account of II is
given elsewhere In this issue.
In the evening concert was given
at the Auditorium by the Choral as
ISOLATION assisted by Mrs. Karl Brown
In recitals and by Mr.. and Mrs. J. J.
Dunn who gave a very entertaining
farce that kept the house In an up
roar.
Only about twenty-five members OF
he Choral association participated in
he concert. The male quartette con-
'isting Of e. G. Rowdon, s. B. Willis,
Max Smith and Andrew Benson won
lonors, and Mr.. Rowdon gave some
If his matchless songs.
The Rowdon band furnished music
or the day. and considering the very
hort time they have been drilling,
hey acquitted themselves well.

closely contested games to the local
team on home grounds Sunday and
Monday. Sundays game by score
of to and Mondays game to 2.
Brown and Fortier of Pocatello op-
posed Jensen and Ripley in doing the
batterywork in Sundays game. Jen-
sen did not pitch in his usual form
and the Indians had the lead by a
score of 5 to at the beginning of
the first half of the eighth inning
when Lewis West, the creek center
fielder, drove a home run, bringing
in several men on bases. Another
run in the ninth won the game for
the local team.
Mondays game was closely con-
tested from start to finish. Smith and
Fortier was the battery for Pocatello
and Schmidt and Ripley for Black
foot.
Both games were attended by large
crowds who appreciated the game
and cheered the visitors as well as the
local team for their good plays.
Doc Kestner who as manager of
the ball team as assembled a good
fast bunch of players will take them

EXPLOSION INJURIES 7. r. JONES
Gas From an Empty Alcohol Barrel Shot Like Cannon
Barrel Head Strikes Victims Head and Face--Thrown
Some Distance-Is Badly Lascerated--Prospects
Good for Ultimate Recovery

On Wednesday at noon an explos
ion at the rear of T. R. Jones resi-.
dence alarmed the community, and
while crowds were gathering at the
scene, word was passed along that
somebody had been killed by an ex.
plosion, presumably Of the automo.
bile tank. While this was not cor
rect, it was nearly enough true to act
upon, and prompt work was begun
to save the victims life. He is now
resting well, and has good chances
Of recovery.
Was Water Barrel
Mr.. Jones was assembling mater
ials to send team to Parker Noun
tain where he was going to conduct
some mining operations, and barrel
had been purchased in which to carry
water on the trip across the Snake
river plains. The barrel had contain
ed alcohol, and when he got it he and
the salesman discussed the necessity
of keeping matches away from it un-
til it was cleansed, and it, happened
that while they were loading other
things at the rear of Mr.. Jones resi-
dence, the bung was removed from
the barrel, and it is supposed that
somebody lighted match, though
neither of the three men engaged in
the work seem to know about that.
They seem certain that match play
ed part, that 1t was not close to the
barrel, and that Mr.. Jones was in a
position to receive the shot when the
head of the barrel blew out with a |
crash. Neither of the other men was
injured, but Mr.. Jones, was thrown
about ten feet and his head struck !
the edge of scraper and cut an ugly |
cash on the back of the head, about |
four inches long. His nose was crush
ed. his lips and chin split, and his
whole face burned and bruised. His
eye lashes and eye brows were burn
ed off, and cash appeared on each
side of his neck just under the jaw
He was in a dazed condition, and
while he acted physically, he seemed
not to know what was happening. He
was assisted to rise, and he walked

stitches on the back of the head anG
twice as many on the face. Those
who assisted at the work unmarked
about the skill and deT,ness witt
which he put the injured parts into
position and secured them. Up tc
the present time Mr.. Jones Is suf.
fering much, but the doctor reports
that unless infection or some adveres
condition sets in, he will recover In
good time, but will likely be SCARED
for life.
A Terrible Shock
This was terrible shock to Mrs.
Jones and the children. The dinner
was being placed upon the table when
the trouble came, and instead of a
hungry man coming in with his US
ual CHEEKY ways, there came bleed
ing form that resembled him only in
size and had the facettorn and black
ened by the shot.
Mrs. Jones grappled the situation
bravely and helped to dress the
wounds until she was relieved by
friends who came in from all about
the neighborhood. The members of
the family are slowly getting adapted
to the situation, and are %uffering
greatly from the shock.
{ Whole Community Responds
A line of people and inquiries fol-
lowed at the residence and at the
Office of Irrigated Lands Company of
which Mr.. Jones is a member, and
offers of aid have been made frcmJ
