Richards and Pringle Bring Big At
fractions to the Layering.

The is a feast in store for the
lauEh-hungry at the Lavering theatre
ON Friday and Saturday, February ~
and 13, when Richards and Pringle's s
famous minstrels make their appear
ance.
The mere announcement of this CON-
pany's coming Is usually sufficient to
pack the theatre. Little need be said
for this company, for they have been
for over a quarter of a
century and their merit is we'll known
In keeping with the policy of the man
agement, everything is brand new.
While several Of the old favorites still
remain many new faces will be seen
in the circle this season. A grea. deal
of attention has been paid to the sing
ing and dancing portion of the pro-
gram, and lovers of the old time min
strelsy will find much to please them.
The vaudeville portion will be the
most expensive ever carried by a min
strel company. Fred Simpsons Chal-
lenge band of twenty-five solo mu-
sicians are prominent feature. and
the management throws down the
gauntlet to any minstrel company to
produce its equal. Watch for the big
free street parade at noon There will
be band concert in front of the tae-
atre at 1880 o'clock In the evening,
and the program will range from rag
time to grand opera.

SHERIFF WILL SELL TOWNSHIP
Hagerman Property Goes Under the
Hammer to Satisfy Creditors.

At 10 o'clock a. m, on the 18th day
of February, before the front door
of the court house at Gooding, Sheriff
Sam Sanders will sell a large portion
OF the Hagerman townsite to the high
est bidder. Notice of the sale fills five
columns of last issue of The Leader.
This sale was ordered by the court
under foreclosure in three different
suits, as follows: Nellie Payne john
son VS.. Orchard Investment Co., ct al,
Nellie Payne Johnson VS.. James Mon
roe, and Hagerman State Bank VS..
Orchard Investment Co. ct al. Mrs.
Johnson the plaintiff, is the wife of
0. P. Johnson, the original owner of
the land involved.
The judgment and costs aggregate
$4,000 and the land is to be offered
in three different parcels, so there
will really be three different sales. It
Is presumed that the property will be
bid In by the judgment creditors.
This sale is in no way reflection
upon business and industrial condi-
tions in the town of Hagerman and the
fruitful Hagerman valley. 1t merely
marks the collapse of a speculative
townsite promotion scheme that never
was justified by the existing condi-
Leader.

TIED DOWN SAFETY VALVE
Shosh0ne Peanut Vendor Loses Ma
chine In Explosion.

Resenting the thoughtless action of
the peanut man for tying down the
safety valve after he had started his
machinery for the evenings run, the
boiler of the little engine rigged on
neatly painted car exploded last
Saturday night with disastrous conse-
quences to the car and all assorted
contents of the fresh-roasted staples
OF virginia and the Iowa snow-flakes.
JAKE Jacobson was the unfortunate
owner. The car was standing near
Baugh's corner when 1t went off with
bang that resounded throughout the
town. Popcorn and peanuts fairly
rained all around the locality. The
owner was standing right near the
machine but was not much hurt. But
the machine itself was sorry sight to
see. The man as he bore it away de-
scribed it accurately. 1.-TWO hundred
dollars gone to we'll, that is what it
cost me, and now it is not worth a
whoop," he said as he passed down

Four Deliveries Daily Promised to
Patrons of the Stores Taking New
System.

F.. G. Spencer next Monday will in
augurate his central delivery service
for the city of Twin Falls and will
start the service with three stores ac-
ceptlng the service, The Idaho Depart
ment Store, City Marketing House and
the Shoshone Grocery. Mr.. Spencer
start the system with three stores ac-
above stores were at present his only
patrons that as soon as the excellent
service promised gets into operation,
that he expects most of the stores do
ing any kind of delivery will enter in
to his plan.
For the present the teams of the new
company will call at each of the three
stores four times daily and gather up
the parcels for the different sections
OF. the city. The first delivery will
start at eight-thirty and the second at
ten. In the afternoon two more de-
liveries will be sent out so that the
patrons of the stores will receive even
better service than now rendered by
the individual stores. Mr.. Spen-
Ger has put up heavy bonds for
the faithful performance of his du-
ties and will no doubt give the stores
of the city the same high class SER
vice as has marked his work during
the past four years as street commits
sioner.
The central delivery system is not a
new thing for Twin Falls, having been
attempted several years ago. 1t has
worked out great saving to mer-
chants In many large cities and under
its present management should prove
boon to every merchant In Twin
Falls. Under the present individual
delivery system, each business is car
rying a heavy burden of expense to
care for his own business, while un-
der the proposed service duplication
of such service is cut off and with the
minimum expense to each merchant.
