BINGHAM COUNTY
LOOKS GOOD

l.. w. Van Aiken returned this week
from Bozeman, Mont, where he spent
several weeks. Mr.. Van Aiken owned
a large herd of cattle that ranged in
the vicinity of Bozeman, and in gath
ering them $50 miles. He had not
been in .thes,saddle for several years
and he said the cushions were none to(
good for him when he started home.
He does not care for old Montana any
more, the Gem State being just right
for him. 1t is the same old story of
an old cowpunch going back to the old
range, expecting to see the old bunch,
and familiar surroundings and find the
country fenced, the old companions
rangling bunch of kids, instead of
calves, tilling patch of potatoes, in
stead of tearing up the earth with
the flying hooves of a cayuse Mr.
Van Aiken says that Butte is livelier
than it has been for ten years, and
that the wholesalers will be down on a
special in the nearfuture to look at
every town from Butte to Boise, in
cluding towns along the St. Anthony
branch.

LITTLE CHILD KILLED
BY RUNAWAY TEAM

Tuesday afternoon about o'clock,
while driving from Blackfoot to her
home, Mrs. Jens sorensen and two
children, Of Groveland met with hor-
rible accident. When opposite the
Kundert residence on West Bridge
street. they were overtaken by run
away team, the property Of T. L Cow.
dow. of Thomas. The conveyance
drawn by the running team collided
With that of Mrs. Sorensen with such
great force that the latter and her two
little sons were thrown to the ground.
and the younger of the two children
was instantly killed. Mrs. Sorensen
and the other child escaped with slight
injuries from which there will be no
i'll effect. The Cowdon team started
from town, and all efforts to stop
them by a man on horseback and othe,
were unavailing. The rumor was a.
float Wednesday that both child
rem had died, the latter through the
night. but this was not founded on
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1912-05-16

fact. 1t is not known whether or not
the team, of Mr. Cowdon was secure
ly tied, but witnesses to the catastro-
phe state that there were no broken
tie ropes or straps on the team, that
there was no evidence Of their having
been tied. There have been about
twenty-five runaways by teams In
Blackfoot in the past three months.
They are due largely to improper tiein
Of horses, and the city council should
pass an ordinance imposing a heavy
fine for the careless attention given in
tieing horses, as the lives Of all cit
izens are in jeopardy at all hours from
the permitting Of horses used on delivery
or meat wagons to go to their re-
spective places Of feeding without
drivers, and from other teams not be-
ing properly handled while in town. To
much cannot be said against what has
been long time public nuisance and
which has now, in all probability been
the cause of little child losing its
life

The auto men have decided to. take
Sunday and Monday to pick the rocks
out of the road between Blackfoot and
Powell, on the Mackay branch and
spend day fishing. People from Arco
Moore and points on the Lost River ar
hereby notified to join the crowd, lead
the pilgrims in strange land to the
best fishing holes, and to the largest
rocks in the roads. The Blackfoot
crowd are good road boosters who are
not afraid to put their boosting to a
practical test and work themselves.
Don't forget the time of starting, 7'30

SCHOOL PROGRAMS
COMMENCEMENT WEEK

The Blackfoot schools will close
Friday, May oath. The final week will
be marked by several programs of
more than passing interest to parents
and the general public. On Sunday
May 10Th, the annual class day SER
mon will be preached at the High
school auditorium by Rev. Jewell of
the Baptist church. In the evening
all of the church services of the city
will be given over and all will unite
in a vesper service at the High
school auditorium, at which time there
will be song service of one hour.
On Wednesday evening, May 22nd,
the High school chorus will repeat,
"The Merry Milkmaids" for the bene-
fit of the Athletic association of the
High school.
There were so many of the town
people who were unable to hear this
beautiful little operetta at the last
rendation that it was thought advis-
able to give this instead of the Senior
play. The seniors magnanimous' ga {
up their date in order that this per-
formance might be repeated So many
Of the class of 1912 are in the play
that it is almost senior production
In many ways. No one who did not
hear the choruses of this little OF
eta can afford to miss this chance to
hear them. The young people have
all parts worked out beautifully and it
is school entertainment of real merit
Miss Richeson has done fine work with
this production and deserves special
credit.
On Friday afternoon the eighth
grade graduates have a brief commence
ment exercise commencing at
o'clock. All are invited.
On Friday evening the regular high
school commencement exercises will
be held in the auditorium An admis-
sion of ten cents will be charged to
aid in defraying expenses. Judge Jams
Ailshie will be the speaker of the
evening. This will formally close the
school work for the year. An un-
usually large class will graduate this
year, and one which is remarkable in
another way, that is equally divided as
TO sex. Seven boys and eight girls

DEVELOPMENTS IN MoRELAND

People generally do not realize that
the smaller towns in this county are
growing rapidly, that the increase in

cessiates the building of larger stores
In the outlying towns, more houses

this county can boast, and in the town

not visited it recently, would be sur

CROSSED THE DESERT

Ernest Brown and George Dore
braved the perils of the desert Sunday
morning and went to Powell in an
auto, especially arranged for camping.
They lost their way going over and
took in a nice lot of country that they
otherwise would not have seen. Re-
turning, however, the trip was made
in four hours. They were fishing and
the hot sun melted the oil from the
fish, which ran down on the wheels
of the car in such quantity that their
progress was impeded to great ex-
tent, the sand of the desert and fish
oil making a strong cake which clogg-
ed up the mechanism of the car.
