THoMPsoN's ACT APPROVED

The public mind seems to place It's
stamp of unqualified approval upon
the act of Jailer Charlie Thompson In
shooting to death the desperate
character who made the murderous
assault upon him in the prison last
week. 1t is pronounced by all, an
act of quick retribution and exact
Justice. 1t showed courage, in that
he staid in the room and finished the
lob he went to do, and he exercised
forbearance and caution in sparing
Kelley's life when mere grip would
have secured immunity from his fur
Their assault. 1t was at moment
when Thompson was half blinded, by
a cruel blow and was not sure but
that the whole bunch of prisoners was
seeking his life yet he refrained from
taking life where there was still
doubt as to the necessity.
Any courageous man when assault
ed will fight, and any man whether
courageous or not would shoot under
such circumstances as befell Thomp-
son; but courageous man will take
more risk for himself and spare the
other man longer when in doubt than
the craven. If Thompson had been
coward or a "panicky' fellow, KEEL
lev would have died along with Strea-
tor; but Thompson did not lose his
head, even though it was bursting and
swimming. One swallow does not
make summer, neither does one test
prove an officer infallible, but it is
good so far, and is universally APP
proved.

The railroad bridge was built be-
fore the rails we're laid to 1t. All the
material was hauled by wagon from
Pocatello. Billy Barnhart, who had
been a freighter in Montana, had the
contract. The road was a narrow
gauge and there was round house
and Y on the south side Of the river
When the road was completed to Sho-
'shone the town across the river prac-
tically disappeared, going to Shosho-
ne. There were four saloons here
during those early days. The first
one was started by Ed Garland.
An interesting incident occurred at
that time, Mr. Stevens sent TO Black
foot, where Danilson & Stevens had
another store for $500 in silver. A
wagon was loading at Blackfoot for
the store here at that time and part
of the load was nails. Danilson
opened one or the legs, took out
enough nails to make room for the
silver and then closed the keg. He
said nothing to the frc;gher and for
got to write Stevens Several Jays
aassad ara 20 silver arriving he made
rqairy. Word came back to open
the nail kegs. Stepping out on the
walk at the front of the store, Stew
ems easily picked out the key contain
ing the money. The town was filed
with bad men at that time who would
have been only too glad to know that
money was secreted in the kegs

REGARDING JAIL DELIVERIES

Jail deliveries and Jail breaks have
been pulled off frequently in this
county for several years, and the at
tempt of last week was met with such
prompt retribution and such exact
justice, it ought to remind men that
when they are in jail they are in jail,
and have no right to be trying to run
things.
Whenever a man holds life SO
cheap that he clubs an officer in
order to evade the law or to remove
the. just restraints which society
places upon him, he forfeits the right
to receive any consideration or pro-
lection. The lesson of Thursday
night should exert beneficial eff
feet on those in custody, and the
man who aided in the attempt to club
or kill the officer should receive his
deserts.

LIBERTY BELL COMING WEST

The Southern Pacific company has
handled many shipment of extraord-
mary value since the last spike was
driven in its trans-continental line
in 1869, but not quite so valuable
as the Liberty Bell, which it will
bring into aClifornia and to the Pan
ama-Pacific International Exposition
at San francisco next month. Con-
sequently the most elaborate pre-
cautions are being taken to insure
the safe transportation of the price
less relic.
The bell will be handled on a
special train. 1t will be under guard
every moment from the time it leaves
Philadelphia until it is returned
there. 1t will be carried on special
gondola freight car, equipped with
all the safety appliances necessary to
enable it to be moved in a passenger
train The gondola will occupy the
same position as an observation car,
at the rear Of the train, that the resi-
dents of the cities and towns through
which it passes may view he bell.
There are six cars-sleepers, diner,
etc.-t these to be occupied by the ex-
position dignitaries, Philadelphia Of
ficials and others making up the es-
cort committee of 60 or 70 persons.
The bell will leave Philadelphia on
July Z. Safety of transportation and
the population of the country ira
versed by the railroads determined
the routing. 1t will pass through
Chicago and Kansas City, and thence
be transported to Omaha, where 1t
will be taken in charge by the Union
Pacific. The. latter road will carry
it through Denver and Salt Lake City
to Ogden, where the Oregon Short
Line will assume charge and take 1t
to Boise. From Boise, 1t Will go to

view the historical reminder of the
War of independence. The bell will

was afraid the road would never be
built, and was interested simply to
keep their courage from tagging. To
have railroad meant great deal to
the early settlers, more probably than
later corners will ever know. For one
thing it meant freedom from appre-
hension of Indian uprisings. 1t also
meant that it would not be necessary
to go to Malad as we had been doing,
whenever supplies we're needed. I be-
lieve this was in the spring of 1882,
when I was promoting the building of
the railroad. When it became a set
tied fact that the road would be built
American Falls sprang into existence.
Founding of American Falls.
The town was first founded on the
south side of the river, near the end
of the railroad bridge in midsummer,
1882. The first store was established
by Collins & Stevens, and was a big
department store and carried a large
stock Of goods to supply the railroad
camps.
The second store was established
by Snow & Holt. 1t was not so large.
but well stocked. Mr.. Snow is now
resident of Boise.
Seth Oliver started notion store
little later and was the first postmas-
ter.
In the spring of 1883 Danilson &
Stevens of Blackfoot started stt re
on the north side of the river about
where the transformers of the power
company are located Stesers was the
father of Judge Stevens of Blackfoot
and was one of the men I met at he
crossing of the Blackfoot river when
I was coming into the country. Theo
Danilson had big eating house To-

they woke up in the morning some
of the members of the family we're
very much alarmed at Indian faces
pressed against the windows OF their
bedrooms. At first they said they'd

feeling and staid a good while. Well.
as we said, he was introduced at the
speaking, and Mr. Hopkins remarked
that he was one who was on the
other side of the late unpleasantness
and might give the audience some
thing interesting.
After some preliminary remarks,
the Colonel referred to the ungallent-
ny of some men in criticising ladies.
He said he had heard men remark
that when a woman starts to go some
place she is sure to think of some
thing after she gets out the door
and have to go back. Young man."

have seen ten-thousand men go
back, not as If they had left some
thing, but as If they had left every
thing that was dear behind them.
And in the tremendous seriousness of
the occasion I have seen them by
hundreds leap over stake and rider
fence and never know that the fence
was there"
Speaking of lapses of memory,
that reminds me. At one certain cell
ebration at Blackfoot, there was a
certain boy, who had an ambition to
see an American spring, and he didn't
want to SO to the hills to see it. He
had a liberal supply of firecrackers
and matches, and he formed designs
refarding an old gentleman. His de-
sign was to fasten a pin-hook to a
firecracker, light the fuse and hook
it on the mans coat tail and then
beat it." He lighted 1t and jus
as he reached to hook it on, the old
gentleman looked around, and the
boy acting on the natural impulse,
slipped it into his pocket and tried
ito look unconcerned. Before he
could get the setting right, the hinged
thing went off in his pocket and there
didn't seem to be enough outlet for
the explosion and it tore down to-
wards his knee, taking some of the
muscles with it. He had a lapse of
memory and of consciousness, and
when he came to" he was laid out
!, on a table and some people were
working over him and waiting for a
surgeon. He never enjoyed old men
so much after that, and he didn't
get to see the American spring.

The Price Of Wheat

Bradstreets thinks that it is matter for sur
prise that the price of wheat has gone AS high
it has. but that it has not much higher.
a number of factors are mentioned which would in
evitaby have operated to hold up the price of wheat
this winter irrespective of the war
Agitators, it says, who charging that specu-
lators have arbitrarily advanced the price, do not
seem to be that, while the United States had
a record crop in 1914 the worlds crop of wheat
was about $50 100000 bushels short of the crop of
1913.
Australia. in consequence of crop failure is buy
int wheat in this market In addition to these fac
tors which have nothing whatever to do with the
war, shipping has been interfcred with in the
of Argentina. Shipments from Russia and the lower
Danube have been entirely cut off, and much wheat
has been lost by hostilities in Europe.
The great crop of wheat harvested in the United
at Il more opportunc time, but the demands on our
surplus have been many, and have from SO
many different quarters that high prices must be
regarded the effect of natural causes
Records of shipments show how what Brad
streets calls wheat trade currents have shifted
account Of the The total shipments, from
countries of origin, UP to late in December, aggre-
22l,000,00o bushels up to same date during the
previous year. Shipments from the United States
and Canada 32,oOO.0O0 bushels greater but
Russian shipments only $4,000 bushels against

joining Of soft silks and farng circular skirts for

SOCIETY AND LAW UPSIDE DOWN

Society decreed long ago that is innocent
or a lawful citizen until proven guilty. This prin-
cipe, however, has governed society. One ac-
cused, from the commission of misdeed to the
END OF time, is handicapped if actually guilty.
And though pardoned after discovery of innocence,
the stigma remains the bghted life

as social outcast The state furnishes police ja
