noon by jumping from his buggy
when his team ran away. Bo.h
bones were broken and the broken
ends protruded through the flesh.

came unmanageable. A conveyance
was secured from Mr.. Shane the
injured man was taken home. The

Dan Fry, known in sporting cir

Tuesday night he met the Mid
dleton Wildcat in a wrestling match
under the auspixs of the Athletic
club of that town, and came off
victor. He scored the first fall
in 5J minutes and the second in
two minutes. In the first part OF
the contest the men seemed equally
matched, but as work progressed
the superb physical condition of
the Horseshoe Bend man began to
assert itself. His. opponent, Mur-
phy, as usual, was slippery, and
was more aggressive than at their
match in Emmett several weeks ago
) fter a period of so minutes, Fry
secured quarter nelson and forced
his man to the mat and after a
terrific struggle of five minutes
Murphy's shoulders were passed
to the mat. The second fall was
secured by Fry in two minutes with
the same hold combined with an
original Fry variation, which the
lGcal man could not solve. Nye's

ALL GRADE TEACHERS
REELECTED
Several Changes to be Made
in High School Next
Year

The school board yesterday after
noon reelected every grade teach
er in the Emmett schools, including
the teachers in the Lincoln and
Emerson buildings, for another year
and re-eelcted Miss Alice Holyerson
and Lester Z. Henderson, High
school teachers, at an increase in
salary.
The work Of the present faculty
has been very satisfactory and
the board decided that no inn
provement could be made by max
ing any changes. Mr.. Henderson's s
salary was increased from $50 to
800. The Caldwell board wanted
his services and offered him that
sum to take a similar position in
their schools. His services here
have been very efficient, he is
popular with all the pupils and
the board concluded it could not
afford to let him go at the dis
ference in price. Miss Holverson,
whose ability and faithfulness dur
ing her many years of service here
are recongized by all, had her sal
ary increased from $50 to sS5
per month.
The office of principal of the
High school was abolished, and
Knipe will assume
the duties of that position.

CONTRACT FOR FLUMES
CONDITIONAL
Colorado Company's Bid for
6lO0 Feet is Ac-
cepted

The bid of the Colorado Ingot-
Iron Pipe and Flume company of
Colorado Springs to furnish steel
fumes for the Canyon canal was
the lowest and best, and the con-
tract was given to that concern.
There was a string attached tc
the award, however, and tha'
was guarantee that the company
is qualified to carry out the con-
tract as made by its agent, Mr.
Ray When all doubt on that score
is removed, the papers will be
signed. The stipulations are that
the company shall lay down in
Emmett, o b., within 40 days,
800 feet of steel flume at
lump sum of S2S,253.
The contract was made in Boise
yesterday. There were present be
sides the board of directors, a
committee from the water users
composed of Fred Colburn, Thorn
as Whiteside and John Sanders.
Estimates were also made on
furnishing 5000 feet of fumes, the
actual amount required to COM
plete the system, with sub-struc-
ture of steel, erected ready to re-
ceive water, which would cost 1929
600. The board has only $4,000
to appropriate for that purpose
this year, so cannot consider such
a proposition unless the water users
are willing to have an assessment
levied of $3.50 per acre. 1t is
probable a meeting will be called
10 ascertain the sentiment of the
people as to the levy The advan-
tage of this plan is that the i'm
provements would be permanent.

YOUNG MEEKER GIVEN
DECISION !
Suffering With Grip, Nye
Was Unable to Stand the
Pace,..and Quit

George Meeker of Oakley was
given the decision over Clyde
Nye, Monday evening, in wrestling
match at the hall. This was the
first time that Emmett's young
wrestler has failed to bring home
"the bacon" Nye was suffering
from a bad cold and after 33 min
utes of gruelling work he was
forced to throw up the sponge be-
cause of his difficulty in breathing
Neither one secured a fall.
On account of Nye's condition,
the decision was in 70 sense cri-
terion of the relative merits o. the
two wrestlers. Meeker is clever
young wrestler, is tough and
strong, and if Nye had been in
his usual form, the bout would no
doubt have been worth seeing. When
Nye threw up the sponge, Meek
er had him on his back on the mat,
but was unable to land him. The
spectators were disappointed and
many thought they were entitled
to a return of their money.
The preliminary between W. D.
George of Placerville and Dan Fry
of Horseshoe Bend wa a lively one,
both of them mixing matters from
the start and keeping it up for
80 minutes. Te match was declared
a draw.

off, or else have stayed to tn
end. There is no question but that
