BRAKEMAN KIRSCH
KILLED BY A TRAIN

Nelson f. Kirsch, a Short Line
brakeman Of this city, met instant
death about 8 o'clock last Saturday
morning at Peru, a siding seven
miles west of Green River. Just
how Mr.. Kirsch was killed. no one
knows, as he was alone at the time,
but the general theory among the
railroad boys is, that he was struck
by the engins of passenger train
No. A on the Union Pacific. This
theory is borne out by the facts in
connection with the accident which
are about as follows:
Peru is at the top of steep
grade, and the east bound freight
train, of which Mr.. Kirsch was one
of the crew, had been cut in two at
the foot of the grade. The engine
had taken a portion of the train up
the grade, where it was left in
charge of Mr.. Kirsch on the side
track, while the engine and the rest
of the crew had gone back after the
balance of the train. The road Is
double tracked all the way between
Granger and Green River and the
supposition is that Mr.. Kirsch sat
down on the east track, while wait.
ing for his train to come up, and
being tired, doubtless fell asleep
That he was awakened by the ap-
proach of. the passenger train and
was in the act of raising to his feet
| is evident from the fact that the
pilot step of the passenger engine
struck him on the hip, while th'
pilot beam crushed the side Of hi
head. He could not have. thus
been injured had he been sitting on
the track when the engine STRUCK
him.
His body was discovered soon af
ter the accident by Brakeman Rich
elson, when the balance Of tn
I freight train reached the top Of tn
!. grade. The dispatcher OF Evans
ton was notified and upon his order
; Mr.. Kirsch's body was held at tn
scene of the accident until the col

n which was not until three o'cloc

THE PASSING OF
THE BULL MOOSE

In reviewing the political situa-
tionin Idaho, the Boise correspondent
thus sizes up the progressive move
ment:
There is another development in
the realm of Idaho politics that is
significant. This is the dwindling,
day by day of the progressive party
organization. There may still be
much latent bull moose sentiment.
1t is still possible that crusade by
some such man as Theodore Roose-
velt would bring many voters back
into the organization that came so
near sweeping the state in 1912; but
it is apparent to every student of
public sentiment that unless some
such leader takes the helm in short
order the progressive party will
quickly pass into the catacomb of
oblivion to take its place by the side
Of the greenback, the populist, the
prohibition, the farmers alliance
and the many other political organ
izations that have come and gone.
j. H. Gipson, the chairman Of
the progressive party organization,
has now made pretty complete
tour of the state. He has been in
practically every county. He has
held meetings in most of them. He
has arranged skeletons of county
tickets in many places. He hal
sent broadcast glowing reports o.
the enthusiasm in the ranks Of tn
party. He has spent time and mon
ey and energy in the work of part,
organization. Still the movemen
lags. Those who took active part
in the organization, with few eS
tceptions, have returned to their for
; mer party allegiance, or they ar
, remaining quiet and watching wit
keen sense the drift of public affair!
"One reason for the feeling c
disgust that ramifies the party Oh
> kanization is due to the efforts {
: Some of the so-called leaders to il
(duce the rich men to head the
: ticket in the state. Cruzen. Dewe.
Humbird and Vollmer are of tt
: men who are known to have bee
f urged to lead the party either ;
v candidates for the senate or fl
: governor. The impression is ou
whether well grounded or not, thi
!. the primary motive of these woul
g be leaders was not to get the rig
Ie man for the Office, but to get rit
N man for the campaign, one wi
! would finance the undertaking al
pay the cost of organization.

: moral uplift' it seems to have d
gusted many who we're in the moN
= ment two years ago impelled
at conscientious motives and since
I'd desire to bring about better con
h tons.
Even at the beginning of I
" present campaign it was felt
ID many that the progressive pa
re was to be an important factor

ri with every passing day now the C
ase viction grows stronger that

will close on Friday, May % and
next week will be one full of inter
est to the pupils, especially to the
eight young ladies and four young
gentlemen who graduate from the
high school. This is the largest
class that has ever completed the
high school course in this city, and
we doubt if there is a high school
in the state which will this year
turn out brighter or more enerb
getic class of young people.
The events of commencement will
begin with the baccalaureate sermon
which will be delivered by Rev.
James G. Carver at the Presbyterian
church next Sunday evening, at 8
o'clock. His theme will be, up
ward or Into Noble Future" !"
On Monday afternoon the Glass
Day exercises will be held in the

at 2 o'clock, to which the public is
cordially invited. Following is the
program:
Piano Solo-Irene Pearce.

dent of Senior class.

Senior Medley-Senior Glass.
Glass Poem-Nana Nielsen.
Remarks by the graduates.

Remarks-John j. Jones, Secre-
tary of Board of Education.
On Tuesday the members of the
class will lay aside the cares and
anxieties incident to commencement
week and spend the day in frolic,
which will include trip to the Hot
Springs.
On Wednesday night the com
mencement ball will be given in the
pavilion. Tickets will be rs cents
and dancing will continue until one
a. m.
The Eighth grade class, which
numbers 43, took the final examin
ations last week, but as the work o
grading the papers has not beel
completed at this writing, it is no
known how many will secure grade
sufficient to entitle them to promo
ton certificates. However, Super
intendent Stevenson is of the opir
ion that the number will be close t
40.
The class promotion exercises wi
be held in the high school auditor
ium next Thursday evening OF

program will be rendered:

be wrote the following criticism:

D0 "IOSS the following crltlcISm:
Imagine q talented woman, an art
ist, thrown on her own resources, with
out friends and influence. Picture her
CONSERVATION when she comes face to
face with the calIous people of the
world. Fancy her surprise when she is
dIsIllusiobized and aTakes from beau
tifu! dream to find that some men have
sunk so low as to have forgotten the
respect end regard that should be ac-
corded to pure, true womanhood. Fig
ure her in strange city, brilliant and
uadefled. Fired with ambition, feeling
within herself her ability to 60 things
IN big way, she finally meets q man
she thinks she can trust. He shows
her how her talent can be brought to
the attention of men Of wealth, and ex-
plains to her that the greatest satfsfac-
ton in the world for any girl is the
knowledge that she is able to provide
for herself and maintain her independ-
ence. His arguments are SO truthful
and reasonable that she is convinced.
All the help she has received from this
man she believes he has given her with
dIsinterested motives. She looks upon
him as her protector, her friend and
her adviser. Picture her feelings when
this proves to be, just the opposite to
his real motives. When she firds cut
the attitude of the man upon whom she
relied, she is thunderstruck and dis
outraged.
Il is at this important juncture that
the Real Mantle gentIeman-steps
II, ard by his respect and kindness
wins first her admiration ard finally her
love. The sterling value OF the mans
honesty gradually efaces the opinion,
growing in the girls mind, that the
world was filed with nothing but peo-
pie dead to all save dishonof.
The Price She Paid is q great play

THE MILLION
DOLLAR MYSTERY

On account of the big dramatic at
traction at the Lyric theatre tomor-
row night, the 22d episode of THE
Million Dollar Mystery" will be run
from 3 30 in the afternoon until Z
O'Clock p. m. in order to give all
those who can a chance to see the
picture. 1t is rather unfortunate
that big shows should come Oh the
nights of serial pictures but the local
management can not regulate that
as the John Cort booking agency at
Seattle, Washington book the big at
fractions in. and it is up to the man
agement to take the date, or fail to
play the show.
Tomorrow will be the last episode
OF the Million Dollar Mystery un-
til such time as becomes necessary
to have the proper solution of the
mystery selected and filmed, which
may be five or six weeks.

DUNDEE DEFEATS RIVERS
Los Angeles Fighter Almost Out in
Two Closing
Rounds

Los Angeles, Dec. S.-Johnny
Dundee, the New York lightweight,
gained a decision over Joe Rivers
of Los Angeles tonight in the last
twenty round battle to be staged in
California before the antiprize fight
law becomes effective.
Rivers was the winner on points
up to the eighteenth round. Terrific
lighting in the nineteenth round
brought Rivers to standstill, wob
bly, on his feet, his right eye cut
open and nothing left but his flash
like left, with which he fought thru
the final minutes. He was haved by
the gong in the nineteenth and by
his clinches in the twentieth.
Dundee was like the crack of an
electric spark for the full time. In
the infighting Rivers consistently had
the better of the argument.
