Brad Burned Some

Brad Tucker had a curious expert
ence one night last wk Brad had
been Juggling some stone to build a
foundashion for new barn he is con-
templating building. and he got all SWEET
up and then got so tired that he set
down to rest and the wind was BLOWN
and he got cooled off too rapid and
begin to take a awful cold.
Brad said he felt the cold coming
on all afternoon, and made up his mind
he would break up that cold that night
by taking a SWEET, if possible. So when
he got ready to go to bed Brad he
drunk about 2 qts. of hot ginger tea
and het up a brick nearly red hot and
put it to his feet and had his wife pile
blankets over him about 5 thick and
then went to sleep.
Brad kicks around a good cal in his
sleep, so he kicked off the blankets that
the brick was wropped in without
knowing he done it. He said he had a
awful dream to the effeckt that he was
walking around on a red hot stove.
Then he suddintly woke up and at
first he thort that both legs was burnt
off clean up to the knee and jumped
outen bed with yell, to find that the
soul of one foot had been burnt up
almost to a blister by the hot brick
Brad has been walking on crutches
ever sinst. Brad's cold is worse If
anythink.

StatiSticks by Seth

We had talk with Seth Dewberry,
our lion-hearted town constable, the
other day in the P. o. for publica-
shion. We asked Seth if he had brung
any person to justice of late and he
said that he had not and added that in
his opinion crime in Bingville was on
the decrease, owing to his stern adj
ministrashion as constable.
Seth said that yr. ago chicken
thiefs was so thick that nobody's chick
ems was safe, but that he has drove
these fends in human form outen our
midst and will continue to perform the
duties of his office to the best of his
several ability.
1t is awful comforting to have our
1ifes and properties safeguarded by a
man like Seth Dewberry, who is a
powerful terror to evi1-doers. If Seth
desires to run for constable next spring
he will have the warm support of the
Bugle-
P. S.-Are you aware, Sethy, that
you are six yrs. behint on your sub
scripshion to the Bugle? A hint to the
wise is suffishent

EDDYTORIUL

We take Our pen in hand on this
occasf1ion to write red hot & Wig
gerous eddytoriu1 of protest aginst
the stage fasilitties which Our en-
terprising town of Bingville has
betwixt here and the Co. seat, 16
miles away. The stage line run by
Simon Cooper is disgrase & Slime
ort to be ashamed of hisself or else
be more accommodating to them as
patronize his stage line. AS for
us we'd ruther walk.
AS everybuddy knows Slime has
the contrackt for carrying the mail
to and from the Co. seat every day
in the yr. except Sunday, rain or
shine, snow or blow. Well, all he
gets from the guvverment for do
ing this per annun is $3.50, which,
as emmy person who is quick at
mental arithmetick can fgger out,
is less than a dol1er a day, which
wouldn't pay Slime for boss feed
and wear and tare on his wagon,
let alone his own personal time
consumed, being as it takes eight
hours every day to make the trip.
In order not to come out at the
little end of the horn Slime, when
he got the contracl<t for CARRYING
the mail a nounced that he would
carry passengers to and from the
Co. seat at the rate of doller per
head each way & would also do
urnds & carry parcels at reasonable
rates for them as desired urnds did
or parcels carried.
Last Thursday we had occashion
to make a trip to the Co. seat on
pleasure & business. Being as we
don't own anythink in the line of
boss flesh and couldn't hire a boss,
sinst all the bosses in Bingville
seemed to be bizzy or else was
turned out to pastchure and could
not be ketched, we was obliged to
patronize Shines stage line.
1t was turrible experients 8,
one which we will recollecIzt with
horror, loathing & disgust as long
as we live. When Slime found out
that we was the only passenger
which he was going to have he
desided he wouldn't hitch to his
big wagon stage but would use his
blackboard instid. Personally we
would ruther ride to the Co. seat
a straddle of a rail than in Sine
blackboard. In our umble opinion
it is a contrapshion of Satan. We
was obliged to hold on with our
hands and feet & toenails and eye
brows to keep from being throwd
into kingdom come, and as it was
we was jounced and jolted to SIGH
a extent that everything internal
seems to be loose sinst. Whenever

ANIMAL CIRCUS COMING
Salt Lake Well Pleased With the
Attraction.

The Al G.. Barnes Animal circus,
arrived in the city at 8 O'Clock this
morning instead of at 4 o'clock as was
scheduled, the delay having been
caused on account of a wreck near
Provo lake. The wrecked train was
ahead of the circus train, which was
delayed a few hours. AS conse-
quence the parade was unable to leave
the grounds until 1890 o'clock.
Its too bad we havnt several pairs
OF eyes when we go to circus" said
a woman to her husband this after
noon when she started for the big tent
OF the Barnes circus. There will be
too much to see with one pair" 81
saw it before and | wish / could see
it twice today" said her husband. They
expressed the sentiment of many who
have formerly witnessed the perform
ances of the Barnes wild animals.
Hundreds of people, large and small,
old and young, both sexes, thronged
the circus lot at Broadway and Second
East this morning while the big tent
ed city was being erected. They were
like the usual circus crowds-anxious
to get glimpse of circus life. They
were not in the least disappointed, as
the Barnes show is an excellent one
The big tents, the cages of wild ami
mails, elephants and camelS and scores
| of beautiful horses and ponies were
presented to view. The big tent is
equipped with three rings and is fill
ed to overflowing with entertain
ments that can be seen at no place but
within the walls of a tented circus city
The beautiful appearance of the
street parade was the cause of much
| favorable comment from the thousands
who gathered along the downtown
streets There was variety, size and
| plcturequeness presented. The cos
tunes worn were most noticeably neat
and sparkling.
There is something in the rumble of
the gilded wagons and the peeps"
that one gets at the wild animals, the
trumpeting bands and the clowns, and
last but not least, the familiar sound
OF the steam calliope, the customary
tailender, that gets one going.
The Barnes parade was a pleasing
spectacle, especially the horses and
ponies, as a person could not ask to
see better groomed ones There were
scores of them, some large and some
surprisingly small. And the animal
cages were open, showing collec-
ton of wild beasts, especially lions,
that cannot be excelled with any or
ganization of its kind.
The afternoon performance began
at 2 o'clock. Another show will be
given this evening commencing
promptly at o'clock. The doors will
be open at o'clock, which will give
the patrons ample opportunity to in
spect the menagerie and to feed pea
nuts to the elephants.-Salt Lake

taken up for reconsideration. The de-

THOUSAND CARS OfAPPLESSOlD
North Pacific Distributors Make
Record at Nampa.

One thousand cars of apples for flu
ture delivery were sold through the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors in the
last week for total price of approx
mately $1,000,000, the cars averaging
about $1,000 each, according to Off
cial information from Spokane. One
car of Wenatchee apples in New York
brought $4,000. 1t consisted of Win
ter Bananas, Jonathans, King Davids
and Grimes Goldens All the 1000 cars
averaged from, $1.35 to 81 box, f. O.
b. shipping point. This averages about
20 cents box higher than apples
shipped by Independent dealers.
1.-THE presence of the North Pacific
Fruit Distributors in the northwest
box apple industry this season will
mean just about S2,225,000 extra to
the growers" said II. f. Davidson of
Hood River, president of the organiza-
ton, Wednesday night. about Au-
gust ! the very best price we hoped
for was 81 to s1.25 box, and today
the price is at least so cents box
higher. The northwest apple crop for
| 1913 is estimated at 1900 cars, or
about 100000 boxes.
THE apple crop is shrinking in a
manner that is almost startling It
has been very greatly over-estimated
There has been shrinkage in the last
80 days to 10 per cent on previous con-
sentative estimates 1t has been our
custom to have the growers in our
districts give an estimate at each
monthly meeting of the probable tom
mage, and at each monthly meeting the
reports have shown decrease in the
total northwest tonnage. Still the re-
ports show an increased membership
in the distributors, and within the last
month 20 new locals have joined
THE organization has been able to
maintain the regular prices, but last
week quotations were withdrawn on
account of the heavy bookings The
crop shrinkage made this nacessars
and for several DAYS we refused to ac-
cept orders. However, prices will be
quoted again Immediately in harmony
with the rapidly improving conditions
eat today's meeting the trustees
were so well pleased Wits the admin
