tering officers shall not be permitted
to register any elector within thirty
days next preceding the election,
hence the order of the election of the
local option election was made for
May 20, 1914, and prohibits any and
all parties from registering for the
election, and the only parties who are
qualified to vote at said election are
those who were registered in the coun-
ty for the last preceding general cleo
ton; such parties to be qualified need
not have voted at the last preceding
general election, but must have been
registered for such election, provided,
however, that if any party who pre-
sents himself at the election to vote
and was not registered at the last pre-
ceding general election, such party
may on the day of the election before
any judge of the election in the pre-
cinct in which he is qualified to vote,
register in the same manner as be-
fore one of the registration officers
herein before mentioned, but such
applicant must be identified and
vouched for by some free holder in
such precinct, who shall take an oath
as provided for by section 4, chapter
92, session laws 1913.
You are further advised that owing
to the fact that the date of the cleo
ton is set so early that registration
is impossible, that you should procure
great number of affidavits or oaths
for such free holders to sign, and to
swear in electors on election day.
The ballots and supplies for the
election shall be furnished and dis
tributed by the county auditor and
the number of ballots furnished to
each precinct shall be at least double

YOUNG LADY CALLED
Maude Lucille SNOWFALL Passed Away
Saturday Afternoon.

Maude Lucille, 16-year-old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. John SNOWFALL, died
at the family home in this city Satur-
day at Ais p. m. Heart trouble is
given as the cause of death.
The deceased young lady was born
at Randolf, Rich county, Utah, Janu-
airy 16, 1898. She came to American
Falls with her parents only last
August.
Funeral services were held in the
L. d. s. church Tuesday afternoon,
under direction of Bishop Charles
Johnson. The speakers were Elders
Beekstead, Kohlep, and Howard. Music
was furnished by the church choir, and
there were many beautiful floral offer
ings by friends of the bereaved family

the village of American Falls is re-
sponsible for the condition of that
portion of the bridge referred to with
in corporate limits, and unless the
same is kept free from all obstruc-
tions and safe for public travel, the
municipality would be liable for dam
ages that might be caused by reason
of the failure of said village to keep
said bridge in safe condition for pub
lie travel. The municipality has the
power to supervise the use to which
said bridge may be put, and that it be
kept free from distractions, in order
to avoid injury to the travelling public,
and if by reason of the existence of
the saloon in question at or near said
bridge, the same is rendered unsafe
for public travel, unquestionably un-
der the case of the village of Sand
Point VS.. Doyle, supra, the city can
maintain this action.
If the village is authorized to main
tain this action, and this is a nuisance
it would fall under section 1866 of the
Idaho revised codes, which provides
that: Anything which is injurious
to health, or is indecent or offensive
to the senses, or an obstruction to the
free use of property so as to interfere
with the comfortable enjoyment of
life or property, or unlawfully OBJ
structs the free passage and use in
Of rrfc
able lake, river, stream, canal or bas-
in, or any public park, square, street
or highway, is a nuisance"
For the purpose of determining
whether the operating of the saloon
by the defendant at the place and in
the manner that the same is being
operated is such a nuisance as is pro-
hibited under the section above cited,
we will briefly state the facts.
It will be admitted that the defend
ant owns and operates the saloon a
short distance from the west end of
the wagon bridge across Snake river;
that it is a frame structure, cheaply
built, in which the defendant has con-
lducted the saloon business, Dut, IN our
opinion, not as authorized under the
law granting retail liquor license, but
as a jug and bottle dispensary where
people have been allowed to purchase
only in such quantities as they were
physically able to carry away with
them in TASKS, bottles, jugs, cases and
barrels, and which they have not been
permitted to drink OF consume within
the. building, but upon the highways,
by-ways, in public buildings and wher-
ever it was most convenient, just SO
long as they did not drink the intoxi-
cants within the building of the de-
fendant. Leading down to this bridge
from the west is a very steep and al
most precipitous dug-way, which ends
