LUCKY" BALDWIN'S VERSION
OF THE STORY OF PETER
AND JOHN.

The September American Magazine
contains the first of a new series of
articles entitled, Those Who Have
Come Back" This series is to show
how men and women who are failures
at forty have taken a new hold on
life and are today reputable and sue
cessful. The first story in the series
10 about Christopher J. BALI, who is
known as Lucky" Baldwin. Lucky"
Baldwin was born on the East Side
in New York city, and, up to the time
he was thirty-seven years old, was
an all-round sport" and "good-for-
nothing" He was then converted in
the Jerry McAuley Mission and, af-
ter several years, organized mission
in Chicago which he now runs. Fol-
lowing is one of the stories in the ar
ticle, descriptive of Baldwin's earlier
days:
1T was about this time that he got
one night into a Bible class conducted
by DR.. A. F. Schauffler for the bene-
fit of Bible school teachers, and heard
him read a portion of a chapter from
the Bible. The idea of what this pro-
cess was suddenly rent the mind of
the cropping man like an explosion.
He dashed out of the place and ran
most of the way to the mission, ar
irving there SO excited and GREATNESS
that he could hardly tell what allied
him.
'Dere was a guy he labored,
lampin' somep'n out of book, bout
two guys beatin' it along de street,
and dey come to guy panhandlin'
on de curb. Dey piped him off, and
one Of 'em says, Pal, l amt got jit-
ney lnickle], but beat it. And [cres-
cendo of breathless surprise from
Lucky!l de guy beats it! What do
you tink O dat now? What was dat
he was lampin'P
mo one could comprehend what
the fellow was driving at, until a cool
minded Sootchman, looking with
sort of mild disgust on Lucky's near
hysteria, proclaimed oracularly: 'Hoot
monl ken what ye're speerin at.
It'll be the third O. Acts, ye ignorant
loon ye! The story O. Peter and
John healin' the lame man at the
beautiful gate O. the Temple
They got him Bible and found
him the place. Unable to read
word, knowing only his letters, and
them uncertainty, Lucky shut him
self up in his room for seven days,
crawling out only when hunger drove
him. At the end of that time he had
taught himself to read by spelling
out painfully over and over again the
letters OF that scene which had so
marvelously gripped his magma
ton"

What Do You Desire Most of Alp

Almost every desire can be relieved
if not entirely satisfied by reading
the advertising pages of The Tri-
bune. Even the desire Of knowing
whose baby is the most popular Of
all the little fellows in Caldwell-and
with this popularity goes a prize of
$50 in gold. Read about it in the
Bungalow advertisement.
And, too, Cakes Bros. Store offers a
package of new dress fastener free
to all who will simply cut out a por-
ton Of their ad and return it to
them. The Golden Rule store, Nc
Nair. and Hunter. are making many
price concessions this week, some Of
fers are for Traders Day only, so
you must act quickyl-these men are
sacrificing profits in order to make
room for fall ad winter goods, and is
it not easier and more profitable for
you to buy a few summer necessities
now than to pay bigger prices next
spring. The Colonial has a sweet

Will THE 0. 5. |.
ELEClRIFY ROAD?

1t is reported that c. L. Tallmadge,
the dominant figure in the Idaho Con
solidated Power & Utilities Co, &C
cording to the Boise Statesman. has
purchased the Black Canyon power
site, which is taken to mean that the
Q. S. L. railroad has purchased the
site and will electrify it's system. The
Statesman continues:
Other rumors from Emmett are to
the effect that when Talmadge went
to inspect the property he was accom-
panied by an agent of the Utah Con-
structbon company, and that he is
identified with and back of that con-
Germ. The Utah Construction com
pany is the concern that has for a
number of years been the contractor
for the building of Oregon Short Line
branches. So close together are the
two companies that to say Utah Con-
struction is to say Short Line.
The Black Canyon power site is
located FIVE miles above Emmett on
the main Payette river. 1t is under
stood that the present power plan is
to construct . dam in the canyon
which would yield a sheer fall of be-
tween 10 and 50 feet and would de-
velop untold horsepower.
Power for All Trains.
Should the power plant be con-
'structed a. planned, it is declared
that power enough would be available
to run by electricity every train now
operated in this territory by the Ore
gon Short Line.
Mr.. Tallmadge has for some time
been interested in the Black Canyon
district. He now holds a contract
with the Emmett Irrigation district
which, if carried out, will lead to
power development.
The Emmett Irrigation district
owns what was formerly known a.
the Canyon canal. Mr.. Tallmadge re-
Gently entered into q contract with
the irrigation district whereby he Is
to rebuild the dam and enlarge the
canal without cost to the irrigation
district. His plan 10 to 20 enlarge the
dam that water in excess Of that
needed for irrigation purposes by the
district will be available in the canal.
His purpose 10 to use the additional
water for the generation of electric
power.

Lucy Williams Story on the Witness
 Stand Made Impression On Jury
 In the Circuit Court.
 In less than forty minutes yester- day in tie Jefferson circuit court, Lucy Williams, a negress, was &C., quittted of second degree murder charge after she had testified in her own behalf and after the jury had heard all the evidence in the case. The woman was defended by Attorney Creed Caldwell and prosecuted by District Attorney T. G. Parham.
 Lucy Williams was indicted for murder in the first degree, but the charge was reduced to second de- gree murder before she was placed on trial. She was accused of having shot and killed her husband, James Williams, who was shot at his home on the Langford place east of Pine Bluff, last February. According to the woman's story they were in their home together and during quarrel, Williams went for his shot gun. The wife grabbed it and in the tussle the weapon WAS discharged and Williams was shot in the leg. He died the same night. The defense was that the shooting was accidental.

 had taste of the old regime last night at the Elks theatre when "The
 Final Settlement" was presented.
 Back y,under before the advent of
 motion pictures, when few stars dared to ask two dollars a seat, and one and half was considered high price, and the stage had not become so thoroughly specialized, this pro- duction might have been hailed with some eclai at popular prices, pro- viding of course, that Pine Bluff lack ed about 24,000 of having it's popula- tion of 25 900.
 The performers, six in number, struggled desperately. The '.'Villun", with a dark past, "done his durndest" to deeoy the heroine in the greater portion Of the four acts, the hero and others "done" their worst to down the 'villun.'' He was cussed in the first act, slapped in the second, came near dying, in. the third and to kick the bucket ill the fourth. There was no particular ob jection to the scenery; there is no ob- ecton to the small number in the cast for ore of the greatest plays of modern times uses but four people, and yet Lhcre is general all round obectiOn when one considers that those in the orchestra had to cough up $1.50 for singles and s for a pair of seats. It was only corporal's guard occupying the orchestra, few in the balcony and even the gallery gods were few in number.

LIGHTNING FROM FOG BANK
Captain Of Pacific Coast Schooner
Tells Of Strange Bombardment
Of His Vessel.

Capt. A. Sunderberg Of the steam
schooner Wasp. which plies between
Seattle and California ports. reports a
strange experience at sea on August z.
In a report made to the Hydro
graphic office Captain Sunderberg
says that at 10 p. m. when six miles
east by south OF Point Conception.
his vessel ran into thick fog bank
which hung close to the water.
Without the fog rising In the least.
q violent electric storm broke out. and
for one hour and IA minutes the blan-
ket of heavy mist was pierced contin-
ually by discharges OF atmospheric
electricity and vivid flashes OF angular
zigzag and forked lightning. At 1915
q. m, August s, the steel foremost OF
the Wasp became charged with cleo
tricity from the top down to the spring
stay. Captain Sunderberg says this
was not the usual display Of st. Elmo
fire. as the mast gave out loud reports
as II from a powerful wireless appara-
tus.
While the vessel was bombarded by
lightning which coursed down her
main mast, her officers and crew did
not venture on deck.
