For Grand Lodge

Charles r. Schultz, master of the
Mason's lodge of this city, left Sun
day for Pocatello to attend the annu.
al meeting of the Grand Lodge of the
state which is being held in that city
this week.
Heretofore the grand lodge could
only meet in Boise. but at the last
meeting an amendment to the consti
tuition aud by laws WAS adopted by
which, II the grand lodge itself so di
recS It can be held outside OF Boise
two ySaIs,and then must go back
there for one meeting.
Last year it was voted to meet at
PocRtello this year. That Is in the
southern part OF the state aud it is
thought probable that it will come to
the northern part of the state next
year.
st. Maries could have had the
meeting this year II there had been
hotel accommodations to tRke care of
them and there is not d Ahss&oubt
but what It could be secu u
city this year, but there Is
objections, lack of hotel acconisN
tions. and 1t is doubtful II any AZ
tempt will be made to bring them
here.
Mr.. Schultz will try, however, to
get the jurisdiction of this lodge ex-
tended 80 rs to include the territory
along the st. Joe river, above Us.
This is now in the Wallace jurisdio-

Cabin Destroyed
With Dynamite
NEIGHBOR'S HOME PARTIALLY WRECKED
Thought to be Outcome of Contest Over Home
stead On BenWah

Last Friday evening a charge of
a mantle was exploded under a home
steader's cabin on the divide between
Cherry creek and Beuwah creek about
elk miles west uf the the city. The
ca bin was completely wrecked OF YES
6iRe of II remaiDing Ia fact tig hole
n We or six feet deep caused by the
ez pIosion now occupies the site.
The force of the explosion was so
great that it completely wrecked
the house OF David Roddakopf
standing about 100 feet distance.
Il he door was blown off and portion
OF the roof. Every window in it
was brUken as was also all of the
dishes in it. The building itself
was moved from it's foundation aud
the filing between the logs was
b1 own out. The walls of the build
ing we're SO badly spread that the
joyce barly remain in position.
Fortunately Mr.. and Mrs. Roddakopf
were both away from home at the
{ ime the explosion oooure and so
ESCAPED personal injury.
The origin of the explosion is a
mystery although number of rumors
are shoat.
The cabin was empty and has not
been regularly occupied for quite a
spell. 1t Was built by William
SOmmerville Colby. known as "Ben-
vvah Bill" who took up the claim
riginally.
He was contested by a man by the
name of Magnl. The contest was
fought bitterly and was even carrie d
TO the secretary of the Interior,
N agn' winning each stage. 1t was
only a few weeks ago that the final
decision was received.
Colby has occupied the cabin oc-
OasIonHlly while the contest has been
pending but has not made Il his home
and had not been there recently.
Some of the neigh bors lay the ex-
PIosion at his door, saying that be
was determined that MRgni should
"a OF benefit by the cabin at least.
Colby has not been seen since the
e plosion and some incline to the
opinion that he was making one of
his visits to the place and was In the
6hanty when the explosion occurred
and was blown up with It. But this
theory is exploded by the fact that 8
6horouRh search of the vicinity re-
veaIs no trace of the remains OF h1-
man being.
From the damage done 1t has heen
estimated by several that a hundred
pounds of dynamite at the least wai
used The home of Mr.. Whiteside,
= half a mile away was badly shaken
and the report of the explosion wal
plainly jheard IN this city, It even
beIBgv4 4slaimed that buildings here
we're Shaken by 1t.
deputy Sheriff Sawyer went out to
Z he scene of the explosion Sunday tC
IN vestigate its cause but learned
nothing definite. He is continuing
hts work on 1t and it was stated yes
terd day that some arrests we're likely
TO be made.

The Record Contest

A glance Bt the standings of the
candidates for Queen of the Fair will
show that our prediction that some Of
the candidates would have passed the
one hundred thousand mark before
this issue has proven true, two of the
candidates having passed 1t.
The contest for the 20. 600 votes
given away free by the Record was
very spirited between four of the can
didates. During the period to which
it WIS limited Miss Nicholson hand
ed in about 65, 600 votes on sub
scriptions, Miss Armstrong as, 600,
Miss Lane 80, 600 aud Miss Goodwin
Sc, 200.
Miss Nicholson handed in over
so, 600 votes on subscriptions Friday
which. together with the 20, 600 free
votes carried her from third place to
the top of the list
For the second time since the con
test started Miss Lane has droped in
to second place She only remained
in second place for a couple of days
the other time and Is in no ways dis
oouraged by her dropping back at
this time. She and her friends are
only working that much the harder
and are bound to put her back 10
first place.
On the other hand the success OF
Miss Nicholson has by no means
caused her to relax her efforts. She
Is determined to maintain the lead
which she now has aud is putting
forth eviey effort to do so.
Miss Goodwin Is still confident
that she Is going to win aud with hei
friends is putting forth every effort
to overcome the lead which the tws
leading candidates have over her
The result of the contest for the 20,
600 votes has only served to spul
her to still greater effort and since
Friday night she and her friendl
have been rushing the votes In an6
have rushed her up into third piacl
with 90, ,459.
