DAN CUPID BEATS DIVORCE COURT

One hundred and twenty two people
assumed the responsibilities OF mar
ried life In Power County during the
year 1914. whereas but fourteen found
wedlock unbearable and were divorced
according to Power County records. A
large number OF marriage licenses
we're issued In Pocatelio. probably
enough TO bring the number married
up to 200.
These figures show q very cncour-
aging balance IN favor of little Dan
Cupid who evidently considers Power
county very profitable territory for
his business.
There were sixty-two marriage H.
censes issued IN the wear 1914 and
sixteen divorce trials, counting the
ten OF the docket at the present court.
The cases TO come before tho court
within the next two weeks are Loren

D. The assessor or treasurer might
use the other room which has floor
space of 1854 feet. The treasurer
now has 325 feet, and the assessor 240
feet. People who have business with
them know they have no more room
than is needed.
6. The floor space In the old school
building, including Railways, is 1851
square feet. The floor space in the
main building which has been leased
is 1900 square feet, with 1900 square
feet In the annex, a total OF 5000 feet

An Early Day Tragedy.
Carl Suisted, who settled at the
junction of Warm and Cold creeks, the
site of his home being covered by the
water in the Warm creek reservoir,
met tragic death in 1888. He came
here in 1880, and was the owner of a
band of sheep. One night he was lying
in bed reading when the lamp exploded
and scattered burning oil over him.
He jumped up, grabbed a young child
and carried or threw it out of the door
and then ran and jumped in the creek.
He was under the impression that the
other other members of the family had
perished in the flames, but they all
got out Suisted lived two or three
days before succumbing to his inju-
ries.

1t will be recalled that about a month
ago the Power County News severely
criticized the county commissioners
for having leased the Mandell building
for a term of five years for $4,000,
when 1t could have secured the old
school building for $500. Prior to
making the lease the commissioners
secured the services of architects, who
looked over the old school building and
made a verbal report. They have
since flee 81 written report, spbstai5F
TALLY the same as their verbal report,
and estimate that to put the old school
building in repair for county purposes
would require an expenditure of
about $4,000. The report is printed
below together with diagram show
ing floor plans for the building:

Bad Cowboy Breaks Up Dance at
American Falls by Shooting Fiddler

In the fall of 1888 there was dance
at American Falls There were not
many people in the country and it took
all of them to make a dance. While
the dance was in progress a cowboy
named Stokes, one of the worst char
acters that ever infested any country,
came out of saloon and entered the
dance hall with a drawn six shooter
and began shooting at the fiddler,
man named Rube Wilson. He shot on
each side of his head and then over
1t. The people were trying to get out
but could not do so because Stokes
was between them and the dor Wilson
advanced toward Stokes, begging for
his life. when Stokes fired fourth
tine, knocking out Wilson's teeth. He
wes satisfied wittsthis ard leaving the
hall mounted his horse and rode away.
Wilson was the only fiddler in the
country, and the dance necessarily
broke up. Wilson was taken to hos
pital at Salt Lake, where he died three
or four weeks later, and was buried
there.
