A School of instruction

Ii Is a well known fact that there are
many men on the tract that are totally
dependent upon their wives for every
meal they devour and being occupied
with other pursuits these same men never
think to take any instructions along the
line OF cooking which might be OF great
benefit to them in cases Of emergency. A
ease Of this kind has just come to light
and but for the kindly assistance rendered
10y friends we might have been called up
on TO write an obituary notice OF one Of
our most esteemed settlers.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Geo. Hogshire
departed fora visit at her old home in
Indiana, leaving George to care for things
here at home. OF course like all other
men, George gave little thought to the
cooking proposition, as the harder was
LETT supplied with what looked to him
would last all inter. However, his
friends have recently noticed Il famished
look on his face, which grew as the days
went past, until pressed for an explain
alton George was forced to admit that
while his stock OF provisions was ample.
his ignorance in the method Of preparing
them had caused him much worry and
loss OF sleep.
In view OF this fact delegation OF his
friends, accompanied by an experienced
chef visited his lone quarters last week
and not only prepared most palatable
meal, but spent some time in instructing
George in the mysteries OF the culinary
art, until now he is able to boil the wat
er without burning it, and cook sirloln
that would do credit to the Waldorf AS
toria. George is truly thankful to his
friends, the undertaken has been relieved
of job and ii Mrs. II. does not return
soon George proposes to seek position
as chef at one OF the leading hotels Of the
State.

HORRIBLE DEATH THREATS
Black Hand Methods Threatened To
Be Carried Out Here in Jerome

Runors have come to us recently OF
certain correspondence that was being
carried on OF IL threatening nature aimed
at some OF our officers and others who
have taken any hand at suppressng
some OF the lawiessness and other de-
predations that have been going on in
Jerome for some time.
No attention has heretofore been given
to these rumors as the recipients of these
missives considered them as a practical
joke and not worthy OF attention. How
ever some notoriety is evidently courted
by the instigators OF these letters as on OPP
ening our Office on Tuesday morning we
found at our door crudely folded pack
age, which upon opening was found to
contain notes addressed to two Of our
officers with a request that they be deliv-
cred to the proper parties.
We acquicsed in the request made Of
us, and as they were opened in our pres
rnce we we're Mortified at the fearful sug-
gestions they contained, as printed in "a
bold hand was depicted the horrible fate
I
that awaited these two officers at the
hands OF the Big /. The skull and cross
bones were prominently depicted, and
the rude drawing OF revolver with
death in its wake indicated the instru-
ment OF death to be used.
As we all three stood trembling at the
fate OF the two officers in question, we
wondered if the McNamaras had been
liberated and had sought an abode in
Jerome, and solloquizing further it
Hand had enlarged their territory and
had sought out the quietude OF a progress
sive little western town to terrorize Its
citizens and bring calamity to the homes
OF some of its people.
Seriously, however, it would indicate
that the threats contained in these letter.
were made i'll earnest, as other rumor'
had reached the ears of these officer.
that their vigilance in enforcing the laws
of the state must cease as their acts wer,
distasteiul to certain portion OF our pop
ulation.
Why the Times was intrusted with thu
delivery of these last messages is beyon,
our comprehension, but it might be add
ed that Jerome has no room for would
be dynalniters or Black Hand despera
does and the instigators of these letter
should calmly consider the seriousness o
the crime they are committing in sending
these threats, as it would not take lon
to trace them down if such step wa
inaugurated, which will most likely b
done ii these actions are kept up.
might be noted that only last week sen
, tence OF five years in the penitentiar
was imposed on five individuals in Chi
cago for the same ofiense and the eS
, cuse that it was only meant as pract
cal joke awaited nothing.

Happily Reminded

The home OF MIR. and Mrs. II. l..
Speakman was invaded Tuesday evening
by number OF their friends who took
occasion to remind the worthy couple
OF their 33rd. wedding anniversary. So
well we're the plans arranged that Mr..
Speak man was taken thoroughly by
surprise, though events would indicate
that his estimabe vile had some intima-
ton that there was to be something do
ing. However the couple seemed to
thoroughly onjoy the invasion and an
evening OF thorough social enjoyment
was had 10y all present, the bad condi-
ton of the roads lettering several from
the country attending.
Mr.. Herbert J.. Speakman and Miss
Anna Speakman were married at West
Chester, Pa. on Jan III 1879. The cul-
mnation in the marriage OF this couple
bears with it little romance which We
trust we may he privileged Ia relate.
While both of the interested parties vert
natives OF Pennsylvania, their first meet
ing occurred in Illinois, whittier Mr.
Speakman had removed and where Mis-.
Speakman had gone on Il visit to friends
Although bearing the same name III
trace OF relationship could he found and
the name evidently sounding So good t
both of them Mr.. Speakman was not sat
istiei until he followed his namesak'
back to Pennsylvania where the only
change made was from Miss to Mrs.
They have been residents OF the trac
here for upwards of three years where
they have made hosts OF friends, who ar
pleased to congratulate them on their 3
years of welded happiness and wish 10
them many more returns OF this happ,
anniversary.
