Village Clerk Compton Very III.

The following from the Nampa
Record of Monday will be read
with regret by the people of Me-
ridian:
Mr.. Compton, aged IS years,
father of A. B. Compton of Nampa.
has been visiting here from Meri.
dian for short time. He was sud.
denly taken down Saturday by a
stroke of paralysis. He is some
what improved but he is still in d
critical condition owing to his ex-
treme age. He has always been
exceptionally robust and the attack
was great shock to all who knew
him.
His son, Charles B. Compton,
was down to see him yesterday.
and he reports a little improvement
in his condition. His legion of
friends in the Meridian country
anxiously await more favorable
news from his bedside.

ATTENTION LADIES I

As soon as the Meridian water
works are completed two very nee.
cessary improvements should be
forthcoming. One is the providing
of several troughs and drinking
fountains, and another is the park.
ing Of the railroad grounds. We
should have a civic improvement
club organized among the ladies OF
Meridian to take up these matters
We have many aspirants for social
ana even political honors among
the ladies, and several clubs and
societies are kept up by them,
Some organization could &C
count for the need of its exist
ence by taking hold of such work
as this. 1t would be a lasting
benefit to the town and an honor
to those who took part.

HAD AO MONEY, BUT
 HE HAD \ GUN
WHEN SEARCHED AT MAZE CAFE ARTILLERY PROVES BROKEN TOY PISTOL.

To paraphrase Robert Burns, a gun is a gun for a that, and a that. as an unknown Mexican proved yes terday at the Maze cafe when he frightened the cashier greatly by declaring that he had a gun, which upon examination. proved to be of ltbe toy variety and at that minus handle, hammer and trigger.
 The man entered the restaurant and ordering a sixty cent meal, made
 the most of it. eating with the evi-
 dent enjoyment of one to whom good feed is a rarity. Completing
 his repast and walking leisurely to the cashiers desk. he leaned over and said in confidential tone: T haven't any money. but I have a gun here-r
 That was as far as he got before a call was sent in for an officer. which was answered by merchants watchman Jay Wilmoth Wilmoth
 on searching the fellow. found that he had gun" but it was of a variety not likely to give anyone but the person firing it uneasiness, even when in good order. while being without lock or stock. there was
 nothing but tube left So relieved was the cashier al learning that the danger was only imaginary that he
 refused to have the man arrested
 and he was allowed to walk from the cafe unmolested.
