TEACHERS FOR NEXT YEAR
ARE NOT ALL ELECTED YET

The Examiner has refrained so far
from publishing the names of the
teachers in the Montpelier schools
next year for the reason that the corps
has not yet been completed. The
school board is still wrestling with
applications and hopes to bave all the
places filled within the next week.
Several of this years teachers have
been retained, including Superinten-
dent Stevenson. Two or three were
not applicants for reelection and two
who were reelected did not except
because of the fact that they Were
elected elsewhere at better salaries
than the Montpelier board can possi-
bly, afford to pay. We have noticed
that four of the teachers who will
not return next year. are wearing
'ssparklers on the fatal finger" This
doubtless accounts for the reason
they were not applicants for re-elec-
tlon.

which was headed for Denver. He
remained in Denver until the spring
Of 1866, when he got job driving
team to Virginia City, Mont,
with another freight outfit. The
succeeding seven or eight years
were spent by Mr.. Lewis in freight
ing and prospecting III various sec.
tions of Montana, Idaho and Wy
oming.
The above facts are CLEANED from
the series of articles which Mr..
Lewis wrote for the Examiner five
years ago, in which he gave mar.
rative of his life from the time he
arrived III the United States until
he came to this valley in 1874 to
visit his father who was then living
at Paris, and whom he had not seen
for IA years. Shortly after coming
here, MIR. Lewis decided to locate
at Dingle, and there he had lived
for the past 3s years.
Joe Lewis was jovial, generous
hearted man. lie always took an
active interest in the affairs of the
community, and had also been a
faithful worker in the republican
party. Aside from justice of the
peace, which Office he had held for
number of years, he never sought
further reward from his party un-
til two years ago, when he was a
candidate for the nomination of
probate Judge, and lacked but 16
votes of being the nominee.
His wife, six grown children and
host of friends thruout the county
mourn his death.
His funeral services were held at
the Dingle meeting house yesterday
afternoon, and people from all sec-
tions of the county gathered there
TO pay their last tribute of respect
to one whom they had known and
esteemed for SO many years. The
pail bearers were j. p. Nowland,
John Wilson, John Langford, VIM.
IL. Banks, 5. b. Staley and I. L.
Glenn, all of whom served in the
war of the rebellion. Mr.. Glenn,
however, wore the grey in those
trying days, but the bitterness of
those days has long since been
blotted from the memory of those
who opposed each other with shot
and shell, and yesterday as the
body was consigned to its long
resting place none felt more keenly
the loss OF this old friend than did
Mr.. Glenn.

Truly can it be said that every
home in Dingle has been converted
into house of mourning, for with
in the short period Of ten days two
of the pioneer and prominent citi-
zens of that community have been
suddenly stricken by the Angel of
Death. The community had not
recovered from the shock caused by
the unexpected death of George IL.
Cook, when they were called upon
to mourn the departure of Joseph
Lewis, who went peacefully to his
final sleep about IL o'clock last
Monday night.
Death was caused from pnen-
monia, resulting from a cold which
Mr.. Lewis contracted while sitting
up with the remains of his old
friend, George Cook. All was done
in his behalf that medical skill and
loving hands could do, and altho
Mr.. Lewis battled bravely against
death, pneumonia had gained such
strong hold on his system from
the start, that the Death Angel
conquered after short struggle of
one week.
Joseph Lewis was born at Bris-
tol, England on July Q, 1s47. He
came to this country with his par
ents in 1856. After landing in
New York they came direct to
Iowa City, Iowa, and from there
journeyed to Florence, Neb., with
the fret hand cart company of Nor
mons that crossed the state of Iowa.
His mother died at Council Bluffs,
Iowa in 1858, and the family soon
thereafter became scattered. When
the civil war broke out in 1861,
Joseph, who was then lad of
IA, was attending school at Oak-
field, Iowa. A number of his older
school mates enlisted and Joe offer
ed his services but was too young.
He then tried to get in as drum
mer boy but there was no vacancy.
However, he finally succeeded IN
getting to go with the captain of
the Second Iowa battery to care for
his horses. Three years later he
enlisted as a member of the battery
and served until the close of the
war.
After being mustered out of ser.
vice in 1864, Mr.. Lewis came to
Council Bluffs. After remaining
there a short time he hired out to
'twhack bulls" for a freight outfit

he TRIED TO Be
BOLD, BAD MAN

Last Saturday morning a fellow
who gave his name. as Frank Jones,
entered Greek outfit car in the
railroad yards here and was helping
himself to such articles az he want
ed when one of the Greeks appear
! ed at the car. Jones covered the
Greek with gun and ordered him
to hike. The Greek notified several
of his fellow laborers and they re-
TUNED to the car just IN time to see
Jones leaving it. They gave the
alarm and started after him, but
the fellow was too swift for them
and they soou lost sight of him.
He was soon located, however, III
the loft of the barn at Otto Peter
eit's residence. Mrs. Petereit saw
stranger climbing into the loft
and she notified her husband, and
he went after Officer Robson, who
had by this time, been apprlsed of
the robbery at the car. When
Robson climbed up to the loft,
Jones covered him with two re-
yolvers, one of which he had stolen
from the car. The officer asked
Jones what was the matter and the
latter replied that some Greeks
were after him and be did not pro.
pose to let them take him. After
talking with him few minutes,
Robson induced Jones to put his
guns down and come with him.
However, Jones did not know that
:. Robson was an officer until after
he put the guns up and was placed
!, under arrest.
When searched nothing wal
found on his person but the two
guns, good supply of cartridges
and about $50. The Greeks clam
he took a watch chain and severa
other articles from the car, bu
they could not be found.

In addition to the local improve
ments, the company will string an
other copper circuit to Laketown.
This will greatly improve the SER
vice between this point and Logan
and Salt Lake.
1t is also quite probable that the
line from Montpelier to Kemmerer
will be constructed this summer.
There are some matters yet to be
considered IN connection with this
work, but Mr.. Beatty said he
thought the line would be built. If
it is, an exchange will be established
at Cokeville, as the company al

IS IDAHO DELE
CATION DIVIDED?

When the Roosevelt forces at
the Lewiston convention last week
agreed to the naming of State
Chairman Heitman and Frank Hag-
enbarth a. delegates to the Chicago
convention, and sending the dele
cation uninstructed, the general
belief among the Taft forces was
that Heitman and Hagenbarth were
TO go as Taft men and that they
wouid be free to vote as they so de.
sired in the national convention.
Hardly had the convention ad-
journed, however, when the report
wac circulated that both these men
had pledged themselves to com
mittee of Roosevelt men, sent to
wait upon them, that if placed up
on the delegation they (Heitman
and Hagenbarth) would vote with
the majority al Chicago.
The story was fret told by Roos-
evelt delegates on the train from
Lewiston to Boise. When published
in the Statesman last Saturday
morning, the Taft delegates were
astounded and would not believe
the story until it was corroborated
by several of the Roosevelt dele
gates. Some of the Taft men even
then weuld not believe that they
had been tricked out of two dele.

tWhy doesn't the state dairy,
food and sanitary inspector visit
Montpelier" is question that has
often been asked the past year.
Well, DR.. Nj. w. Smith, one of the
deputy inspectors arrived, unherald-
ed, last Monday morning and as
result of his visit something like
$500 were paid in fines and costs by
the different merchants for violating
various provisions of the pure food
and sanitary law.
DR.. Smith DEVOTED his time Mon
day in visiting the stores, restaur-
ants, slaughter houses, rooming
houses, livery stables, etc, and
making notes Of what he found at
the different places. Tuesday
morning he called to his assistance
Justice Staley and Constable Heggie
and the offending citizens were
brought into court and their cases
disposed in rapid succession.
However, before court opened
Inspector Smith was escorted to
the city jail-or rather to the
shack which is called jail-by
Chief of Police Robson. 1t didn't
take Mr.. Smith long to place his
seal of condemnation on the cuby
hole. He directed that the place
be discontinued as a Jail until 1t is
thoroly cleaned and provided with
a toilet. .
When Judge Staley convened
court at II O'Clock, Sam l.. Lewis
was the fret one called before His
Honor. There were two complaints
against Sam-one for selling short
: weight butter and the other one for
selling vinegar from an unlabeled
barrel. Sam pleaded guilty to both
complaints and the court assessed
the minimum fine against him on
each count, $25 and costs, making
a total $55. 40.
John r. Williams was the next
one to bat. The complaint charged
him with unlawfully maintaining a
slaughter house by failing to tank
the offal and refuse from said place.
Williams pleaded guilty and the
Judge announced s25 and costs.
Fines and costs in the same
amounts were assessed against the
Hoff Butchering Co., and Frank
Jones for failing to tank the offa
at their slaughtering houses.
The inspector complimented thu
lHoff Butchering Co. and Franl
Jones on the excellent condition II
which they kept their meat markets
and the only thing he found agains
their slaughter houses was thei
failure to provide tanks in which t,
deposit the offal from the animal
slaughtered.
Gus Spongberg planked dow
$50 and costs-Sl5 for unlawful,
exposing for sale food in packag
form that was not distinctivel
labeled with the true name of th
