J. ]. Sorenson. in his recollections of
early days in Neeley, was mistaken in
two particulars, which is not surpris-
ing considering the lapse of time. l
had forgotten to mention either one
of them as events worthy of being pre-
served, and possibly would not have
remembered them at all had Mr.. Sor-
enson not mentioned them The school
toned as being the first In this part
of the Snake river valley was held l
believe during the winter of 1887, at
least II was not the first school in
this part of the country.
The first school was held in a small
frame building located at the old ford
leading to the island opposite the
northern part of the townsite. At that
point there is quite large spring
which is covered during high water,
the time. The house was built by Dan
Mcconnell, who homesteaded the land
later secured by Philbrick e. Green
wood and added to the townsite of Am
erican Falls. The land embraced all
Of Riverside addition. Mcconnell was
employed as watchman at the railroad
bridge, then a wooden structure, and
had to walk across 1t following every
train. AS there were not more than
three OF four trains day he was not
kept very busy He also operated the
pump to supply the engines with water
In the spring OF 1885 the few of us

aged tramp who told us he could teach

HAD these precautions been observed
there would have been no danger of n

enough of the section crew left to han
die the rails.
Mr. Smith leaves a wife and two chill
dren who. at the time of the accident,
were living In Denver. The body of
the dead man was shipped to Ohio Fri

the employ of the railroad and is near

that had ever happened on his divis-

the scene of the wreck Saturday and
placed portion of the blame on the

train within the distance he was given.

tion said II was customary to slow
down just before the bridge and that
an application of air had been made.

said it was impossible to stop the train
sooner.
That the train did not go into the
river Is probably due to the quick
thinking of Mr. Leightner who tagged
the oncoming train and escaped from
its way with but second to spare.
This is the second disaster that Mr.
Leightner has aided In mitigating.
Three years ago he grabbed the tail

Mr.. Sorenson was also mistaken in
stating that the first election was held

in 1880. when Garfield and Hancock
were the presidential candidates, and
was held in Sam Cooks house, near
Horse Island, on the ranch now owned

with the Sparks family.
The next election, 1882, was held in
Blackfoot. For some reason which l
do not recall now, there was a hard
/ fight on and special train was run
from here, taking all the men who
were working on the railroad bridge
here as well as everyone else. The
election was held in a store, with the
judges behind the counters. We had
our tickets all ready and marched
through the building, handing our bal
lots to the judges as We passed and
then returned to the train. We we're
not in Blackfoot more than half an
hour. 1t may have been John HALEY
for delegate to congress, that we were
interested in. The election to which Mr..
Sorenson referred was probably the
election of 1884.
Many people in Malad and the old
timers around American Falls and
Neeley will remember the election of
1883. There was hard fight on for
commissioner between John Lewis and
Henry Peck both of Malad. Adherents
of Lewis put up a job on Peck and I
was selected to carry it through. They
got word to Peck that there was
heavy vote in West American Falls.
and nobody seemed to know how II
was going. 1t was represented to him
in such way that he came up the day
before election to look after his in
terests and to see that there was no
ballot-box stuffing going on. He in
quired about West American Falls and
was told that he would be directed
there eelction day morning. Bill Van
norman, a daredevil who was in for
anything that looked like fun, took my
which is about due west of the mill
and told him to go through the willows
short distance where he would find
road leading to where he wanted to
go. The island contains about five
acres and IL so thickly grown with
willows that rabbit can hardly get
through. Peck was left there while
we went to the election. There was
not many votes to count and we stayed
until the result was announced and
got home about eight o'clock. We
heard him calling for rescue as soon as
we arrived, and sent boat after him.
He was about as mad a man as have
ever saw.
There WIS bunch. In Malad who ex--
ercised the right to censor our morals
and supervise our elections, and we
