his job with patient investigation and
experiment until he evolved the blue
rose and now report has it that

vast utility in black cotton and a
great saving in dyestuff. And IL
black cotton, why not cotton of all

1t has been many years since South
Carolina knew the open saloon, but
her dispensary system proved a good
working system for those who held
on to their alcoholic thirst and they
were fairly content with existing
conditions. But there is no rest for
the poor booze fighters. The pros
are merciless and there is no such
word as compromise in their vocab-
ulary. And in that merciless atti-
tude there is deep significance for
those who can read the signs of the
times Alright. Yesterday by an over
whelming majority of more than two
to one the people of South Carolina
voted for Statewide prohibition and
wiped Ben Tillman's dispensary from
the face of the earth. The liquor
traffic, like the Russians, is sullenly
retreating all along its "far-fung
battle-line' but unlike the Russians
it hasn't even a chance for a come
back. Once whipped it stays
whipped.

BLACKFOOT MAN DISAPPEARS
CITY OFFICIAL SHORT

Idaho Falls has just recently dis
covered that the city clerk has been
,misusing the city funds to such an
extent that he is short about $4,000
| in his accounts. He is serving his
third term as such officer, seems to
have been eminently satisfactory to
most people, never had been checked
up from ore administration to an
other, handled thousands of dollars
a month besides the large amounts
secured from bond sales for use in
construction of the hydro-electric
plant, and when his accounts were
audited last week he was found short
and is reported to have admitted it
freely. He was under a $4,000 bond
and handled twice that amount each
month.
George B. Riches has been appoint
ed to take his place, and while no
criminal charge has been filed against
the retiring clerk, Dave, he is busy
raising money to make good the loss.
If he replaces the money that will
not wipe out the crime, but it might
be the reason for failure to prosecute
him.

VIOLATED STREET
TRAFFIC ORDINANCE

The first arrest for violation of the
new ordinance regulating street traf-
fic was made Tuesday afternoon by
Chief of Police Sewell, when Charles
Davis was arrested and taken before
Judge Good for careless driving Mr.
Davis was driving along the left side
of the street and not noticing partic-
ularly what was ahead while a lady,
whose name is withheld by request,
was crossing the street, paying more
attention to avoiding some mud than
to approaching vehicles, and was
knocked down by Mr.. Davis's horse.
She was not hurt but badly firighten-
ed. The driver of the horse was
fined 50.
The new ordinance should be read
carefully as some are of the opinion
it governs only motor traffic, when
in fact, everything but baby buggies
are included. Automobiles, wagons,
buggies, motorcycles, bicycles, ami
mails of all kinds, whether they be
driven or led.

SAVED CHILD
FROM DEATH

]. w. Chapman, the local manager
for the telephone company, saved a
little girls life at the depot last Sat
urday and came near losing his own.
The afternoon passenger tran was
pulling in, headed south, and the en-
gine was passing the depot when a
little tot walking very leisurely start
ed to cross the track at the south end
of the depot heading east. C. F.
Hilliard seeing her danger called to
her not to get on the track, and she
stopped and looked at him, with her
back to the engine. Mr.. Chapman
who was couple of rods away, rush
to the spot, grabbed her arm and
leaped out of the way of the engine.
Even then she did not seem to real
ize that she had been in danger, and
when Agent w. L. Young tried to
find out who she was she could give
him no information. 1t was reported
that somebody else understood her
to give the name of Mildred Ross.
After Mr.. Chapman saw the little
tot out of danger he lost his nerve
and trembled violently at the thought
of how nearly they both came to be-
ing ground to death. The engineer
was sliding the wheels but the grind
ing of steel haunted Mr.. Chapman all
night and he got up weak in the
morning.

BEATING THE
GOVERNMENT

OF the 95 bottles of whisky de-
stroyed last week by the sheriff by
breaking the bottles in the gutter,
nearly all of it had been refilled with
out breaking the government seal
which is put on when the revenue is
paid. The revenue stamp is really
the seal, and it costs ninety cents a
gallon.
The way this is done is said to be
to apply very hot pointed iron to
the bottom of the bottle, running
the iron in a circle about the size of
a silver dollar, and the heat cracks
the bottle along the line where it
was touched. Turning the; bottle over
into an open vessel, the liquor is
saved. The bottle is then filed with
adulterated whisky, and.the piece OF
glass that fell out is coated with ad-
hesive cement and laid in place again
and it sets the glass together as
strong as before. The difference in
the quality and price of the whisky
and the II cents revenue on a pint
bottle or % cents on a quart bottle
is the amount of their gain. Tests
made at the court house showed the
patch on the bottom of the bottle to
be fully as strong as any of the rest
Of the bottle. The patch is easily
detected with the eye.

Clifford Rhodes Disappears. Left
Note Intimating Suicidal Inten-
tiOnS.
Left

Clifford Rhodes, of the firm of
Rhodes & Stewart, who operate the
Palace Barber Shop at the corner of
Main and Pacific streets in this city,
disappeared on Wednesday after
noon and has not been seen since.
A note has been found in which he
stated that he was going to end his
troubles. When last seen he was
walking up Taylor street in the di-
rection of the fair grounds. 1t is
not thought that he would drown
himself, and search is being made on
the theory that he would go to some
quiet place and end his life by other
means.
So far as has been communicated
to us, business worry is the only
cloud that hung over him.

BEAKLY WINS IN
SUPREME COURT

The theory of chance has no place
in the jury room. The supreme court.
so held Saturday when 1t handed
down a decision in the case of w. A.
Beakley against the Optimist Print
ing company of Blackfoot.
In the trial court it was alleged
that the jury, being evenly divided on
The case, decided the issue by tossing
coin, and by that method reached
a verdict in favor of the defendant.
Affidavits to that effect from two of
the jurors were submitted when the
appeal was made, and that was the
principal ground for the appeal.
Verdict Void
In reversing the judgment of the
trial court, the supreme court held
that "as jurors are bound to return
verdicts according to the evidence
and instructions of the court, the
differences of litigants, when submit
ted to a jury, should be carefully and
eonscientiously considered, and
should not be determined by any
gambling method. The tossing of
coin to effect an agreement during
the deliberations of the jury, coupled
with the compact to abide by the re-
sult-though it may not be done with
an improper purposes nevertheless
contrary to law, and verdict so
reached in void"
Contrary Affidavits
The decision was written by
Justice Bulge and concurred in by
Justice Morgan, but Chief Justice
Sullivan dissented. While affidavits
had been made by two jurors to the
effect that they had arrived at their
decision by the coin tossing process,
10 of them made affidavit that the
theory of chance had nothing to do
with their deliberations, and Chief
Justice Sullivan was of the opinion
that the conflict of affidavits was
such that the verdict should not be
disturbed. He held that on account
of that conflict it had not been proven
that there was resort to chance in
arriving at the verdict.
The case was one in which the
plaintiff sued for damages on account
of libel alleged to have been COM
mited by the defendant in publish
ing a certain article regarding the
plaintiffs character. Statesman.

horses, finds 1t does nice work, he
likes to ride, and thinks the sulky
keeps the puller operating with
more steady draft and with less waste
due to its dipping too deep where the
ground is uneven. He bought 1t of

A fellow named E. C. Barker was
brought up from Salt Lake this week
to answer to a charge of securing
goods under false pretenses. He was
in Blackfoot year ago last winter,
and obtained credit of w. E. Brown
& Sons, and others, upon his state
ment that he was in the employ of
Sheriff Jones as a dective, and that
he would pay at certain specified
times. He seemed to be in Jones
employ all right, but failed to pay
as promised. He went to Salt Lake
and secured employment under Chief
of Police Grant in the same line of
work and boozed so much and was
so arrogant he soon engendered the
ill will of the whole police force ex
cept Chief Grant, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. He was finally sentenced
to 80 days in jail for contributing to
the delinquency of minors in the use
Of liquor, and served the time. The
Tribune states that the chief had alb
solutely wasted about $500 of the
contingent fund on him, He was
using contingent fund" money at
Blackfoot if he used any, and this
is thought to have been part of
the bill of Sheriff Jones that was
held up so long pending the fling of
an expense account showing what the
money was used for. After the mat
ter had dragged along for several
quarters the board finally cleaned up
the account by paying it all, not
knowing what they we're paying for.
