Every morning when the doors of
the relief Headquarters open an army
OF American tourists rushes to the
various booths In search of informu-
ton concerning snilings OF steamers.
Ten bankers and their clerkg are kcpr
constantly busy at work providing
money for travellers with letters OF

there any reference to. pending hos.

gium reported that although the seat
OF government had been moved TO
Antwerp. he saw no need or leaving
Brussels for the present. 1t was in
ferred from this that the German
forces were not yet ciCse to the Bel

Absence Of information about the
movement Of the armies 4, accounted
for by the officials o".as to the fact
that the American diplomatic officers
arc too busy caring for stranded
Americans to call at the embassies or
legations where news might be OBJ
tanned.
Ambassador Herrick, In one mes.
sage, however, spoke of the fact that
even diplomats were unable to learn
what was happening In the war zone
beyond what was given out by the
official press bureau.
From the far East the government
had 10 dispatches today. Baron

RUNAWAY PONY

Dashed to Death Against Te|e-

son OF MIR. AND MRS. C. L. THOMP-
son INSTANTLY KILLED.
Eight Year-Old Boy Loses Control
of Shetland Pony and is
Dragged.

One of the most appalling accidents
which has been chronicled in this city
was that in which Lyle Thompson, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. l.. Thompson, met
almost instant death about eleven
thirty Saturday morning. While rid
ing Shetland pony with a little
greater speed than usual to display
his skill, the little eight-year-old boy
fell from the saddle of the pony only
to have his little foot catch in the STIR
rup. Swinging around the alley be-
tween Seventh and Eighth avenues
East, the pony running swiftly to the
barn, swung the unfortunate boy
against the telephone pole at the en-
trance to the alley and crushed his
skull, causing death in very few mo-
ments. The accident was witnessed
by Miss Marie Dovery, who picked up
the little victim and carried him to
his home on Seventh avenue. Physi-
clans were called but death, came SO
quickly that nothing could be done.
The funeral of Lyle Thompson was
held Monday afternoon at the resi-
dence of T. F. Warner, an uncle OF
the deceased child, and was largely at
tended by the many friends and neigh
bors of the bereaved parents and by
the little playmates of the little boy
Many floral offerings from the friends
were banked about the bier as the
simple service was pronounced by
Rev. Mr.. Woodruff, of whose church
the deceased was a member. Inter
ment was made in the Twin Falls Gem

JUDGE WALTERS
WILL RETIRE
Well Known JuriSt to Seek Pri-
vdte Practice
DECISION MADE PUBLIC DCRING
VISIT TO THIS CITY.
Two Terms on Bench Has Made ShO.
shone Man Popular With Lawyers
and Other Citizens.

Judge e. A. Walters will not be a.
candidate to succeed himself at the
coming election. His positive state
ment to this effect was made to the
Times on the occasion of his recent
visit to Twin Falls While the matter
has been under advisement for several
weeks, the genial judge did not make
up his mind to desert the bench until
the past week. AS the senior member
OF the Fourth District Judiciary, Judge
Walters could without question have
another term without opposition, so
satisfactory has his qualification for
the office been. Bar and all others
called to transact business before him
are willing to conceed his ability and
his integrity.
Judge Walters stated to the Times
that he would take up his neglected
practice in some hustling community
and attempt to win back the private
practice which he sacrificed to accept
the Judgeship. The best wishes of
the entire district will go with Judge
Walters to any field where he may
choose to locate.

ADDITION TO REALTY BUSINESS
Sanger Realty and Investment Com
pany Open Offices.

About three years ago two brothers
came to this city, investigated condi-
tlons carefully, and then invested
about $4,000 in the Perrine eighty
just north of the city's original plat
ting. BY this one big deal the two
brothers voiced more than by any 9TH
er plan their faith in the future of
this city. This week, those two broth
ers, j. G. and w. E. Sanger, are maxi
ing their bow to the public of this city
in new realty firm which will be
known as the Sanger Realty and In
vestment company. 1t is their pur-
pose to transact a general realty busi-
ness, make loans and write insurance.
Mr.. j. G. Sanger, senior member of
the firm, arrived in this city a short
time ago ready to take up active work
IN the company. For a number of
years he was a banker at Sunnyside,
Washington, and is we'll acquainted
with irrigated lands and values. w. E.
Sanger has been resident of this city
for the past three years and before
coming to Twin Falls was in the thor
oughbred cattle business in Iowa. Both
gentlemen are enthusiastic boosters
for this section and will be sure to fit
in we'll with the business men of the
city
When questioned about the plating
of the thousand dollar an acre tract,
the members of the firm stated that
nothing would be done with that prop
erty at present.
