FOREIGNER CHEWS
 CONDUCTORS FINGERS
Foreigner Halted in Attack as He Is About to Whip Out a
 Knife.

James Dean, spare conductor employed Christmas night by the Con- necticut company, had two fingers chewed by an infuriated foreigner, who attacked him on West Main street car near Emmons place.
 The car was crowded and Dean asked the foreigner to step aside to allow him to pass. The latter refused and Dean edged his way to the rear. It is said he showed the foreigner, who jumped on him without warning, grabbed him by the throat and pushed him back over a seat. Getting the conductors fingers in his mouth, the foreigner chewed them so that blood spurted over a number of passengers. A number of men came to Deans res- cue and succeeded in tearing the foreigner away. The latter reached for his hip pocket but a passenger grabed his wrist and prevented him from drawing a knife. The foreigner was hustled off the car despite the entreaties of the indignant passengers who wanted Dean to call the police and have him arrested.
 ] Christmas eve a foreigner became angry when the conductor remon- strated against him falling against some women every time the car started. He told the foreigner to be- have himself and received a punch in the face for his advice.

Idaho Metal Yield In 1918.

Tho United States Geological Sur
..y reports that the output OF gold.

,27 10000. This is an increase Of
more than SO per cent over the pro-
auction OF 1914, which was valued at
,24645.S4S. There was no great
change IN the output of gold and a
slight increase in that OF silver, but
there we're material increases In the
nroduction OF copper. lead, and zinc,
especially OF zinc. The increase in
the total value OF these metals
amounting to over s13.00O,O0O, was
due largely TO the increased price Of
lead and zinc. These estimates are
reported by c. n. Gerry. statistician,
At the Salt Lake City office OF the
survey
The mine production OF gold was
nearly the same as that OF 1919.
valued at sl,l52.315. The yield Of
gold from dredging was over a half
million dollars. but no more than
during 1914. The Boston Idaho, In
Boise County: and the Idaho Power
Co., In Clearwater county. were the
main contributors.
The production OF silver from
Idaho mines increased from l2.47s,-
SIG ounces In 1914 to about l3,OOO,-
600 ounces in 1915. or more than 4
per cent.
The output OF copper from Idaho
was increased from 6.445.ls7 pounds
In 1914 to about 7.l69.OO0 pounds IN
1915.
The mine output OF lead. which Il
the main mineral product In Idaho
increased from 34S.526.0Gs pounds

$1,000 tons In 1915. The shipment
contained about sO.Oo0,0OO pound

Ford Party 10 Return.

Gable adyiceh from over the water
report that Henry Ford and his peace
party. having not met with any en-
couragement abroad will return to
the United States. and in fact Ford
himself deserted the party and took
passage home last week. That the
remainder Of the party might not
become stranded, before leaving
Ford left his check for 100000 to
cover any expense that the party
might incur.
Various reports are current OF trou-
BILE that was occasioned by disagree
ments among the party while enroute
across the water However, upon ar
riying at Christiana, the Norwegian
peace party declined to have any
thing to do with the Ford party.
a Christlana correspondent says
that the main impression made on
the Norwegian public Is that Ford is
an idealist dreamer sort OF Tolstoi
whose honesty and unselfshness are
beyond question. while some of the
followers certainly fail to give that
attractive impression.
The only thing the people want
is TO see the man who is willing to
spend twenty million dollars to end
the war but Ford remains in hiding ~
The latest scheme 10 end the war
is said to be that Mr.. Ford is to ap-
proach armament makers in the bel
ligerent countries. by offering them
orders. seek to induce them to cease
turning out equipment for armies.
The whole AFFAIR has been a great
advertising scheme for the auto
maker. and We suppose he considers
his money well spent.
