swEETHEARrs YET.

Last Thursday night Robert, the
Youngest brother of our honored fell
low citizen, Thomas Ferguson, was
quietly married in Boise. The bride is
Mrs. Emily Mitten, who years ago was
a resident of the Lost River country.
The couple are old swee.hearts, having
known each other for thirty five years.
Twenty five years ago they were en-
gagged to be married, but time and fate
separated them, he going to the mines
of Nevada, where it was reported he
fell a victim to the Indians. Not hear
ing from him for many years she al
lowed herself to be woed and welded
by her deceased husband who was
prosperous and well-known mining man
with whom she lived happily until about
eight years ago when death overlook
him in Boise. Mr.. Ferguson had not
seen her for many years, until several
weeks ago when he went to Boise for
medical treatment, which relieved a
rheumatic attack he has had for several
years. When they met the love they
had for each other in long bygone years,
when they were boy and girl together,
was revived and they concluded to
spend their remaining years in the en-
=, joyment of an effection and admiration
/, that a quarter of century has not
been able to dispel. She is 55 and he
lis 65, and from all appearances they
are both destined to enjoy long and
happy voyage on the sea Of matrimony.
They will reside in Boise where the
bride has valuable property.

BUTTE BARS PUNCH BOARD

Use of crooked methods in the opera
ition of punch boards by which articles
of merchandise, including jewelry and
even money have been ratified during
the past few weeks have resulted in an
Executive order aholishing all of them
in Butte save those used for raffling
|candy.
Mayor Charles H. Lane yesterday or
dered the chief of police to notify own
ers of cigar stores and saloons that ar
rest would follow any attempts to raf
file anything but candy by the punch
board method. Plain clothes officers
made the rounds of the stores and sa
looms yesterday and served notice of
the new edict.
Since it was first inaugurated in Butte
nearly a year ago, the punch board
method of gambling has grown apace
until now several concerns are in the
business of furnishing the boards and
the jewelry, ofttimes "phony," to sa-
looms and cigar stores.
Of late reports have reached the
police that these punch boards are not
on the square, that all of the numbers
or the majority Of them are in fact
blanks, and that the numbers which
call for the prizes are not on the
boards.
The method employed is that of punch
ing numbers out of slotted board, pay
ing 10 cents for each number. Certain
numbers call for the prizes Of jewelry
and the like, which are on display.
1t has come to the attention of the
police that several men spent $50 one
night this week, punching out all of the
Plumbers in the board and still did not
get the ones designated as winners Of
the prizes.
Poker dice games for merchandise
only are still permitted in all Of the
cigar stores and saloons.-Butte Miner.

Rigby Ball Team
Create Disturbance

The game of ball last Sunday be-
tween the Rigby nine and home team
was very unpleasant affair, and one
that the home team and it's captain did
everything to avert. 1t has been dis
covered that the Rigby nine came to
Blackfoot with the hallucination that
they had cinch on the game and back
ed that delusion with all the money
they could dig up. Before the ending Of
the third inning they discovered their
mistake, and the thoughts of losing
their bets prompted them to save them
selves by finding fault with decision
of Umpire Jim Martin, which was .
mere excuse to raise disturbance to
break up the game. Roy DeKay,
manager and captain of the home team
regrets the unwarranted and disgrace
full action of the visiting team on ac-
count of the patrons who paid to see
the game, and is contemplating giving
another game in the near future to
which those who SO desire will be adj
.mitted without charge.

SOUTHERN IDAHO POWER
MERGER IS LEGAL

BOISE, June 22.-Consolidation of
the five big hydro electric power COM
panies of southern Idaho is not in vio-
lation of the Sherman antitrust law
nor of the public utilities act, but. is in
the best interest of the state and those
who have invested money in the utili
ties companies.
This is the ruling Of the public utility
commission of Idaho in an opinion
handed down here tonight, following an
extended probe into the merger. The
companies included in the merger are
the Idaho Power e. Light, the Idaho
Railway, Light & Power, the Idaho Ore
gon Light & Power, the Great Shoshone
and Twin Falls Water Power and the
Southern Idaho Water Power.
The commission points out that where
five struggling and warning public util-
ity companies occupied the southern
Idaho field from Pocatello to Weiser,
under the merger there will be but one,
organized temporarily in control of the
National Securities corporation.

ANOTHER AIRSHIP
FOR THE FAIR

At meeting of the Bingham County
Fair Directors last Monday night it
was decided to have another airship
at the coming fair next September, and
also to compel the aviator to put up
a bond equal to his salary that he will
give the attendants of the Fair an
assured and scientific exhibition of
aerial navigation, which has never yet
been done in Southeastern Idaho. e.
M. Kennedy who leaves for Chicago and
other Eastern points next Saturday, as
one of the Fair directors, has been in
structed to secure the best air navigator
possible for this occasion.
The Fair Association is going to leave
no stone unturned or spare neither ef1
fort or expense to make the poultry ex.
hibition this year as near perfection as
possible. Last year it was the best dis
play of it's kind ever seen in the In
termountain country outside of Salt
Lake City, and this year the associa

tion believes nothing in this or any
other state will surpass, if equal it.
i In addition to awarding the contract
for the printing of the premium list,
the board transacted other important
business, and from present prospects
the coming fair will be the biggest and
best ever witnessed in this county. Last
year the premiums were conceded to
be the best offered in Southeastern
Idaho, and this year the directors are
trying to make them. better still, and
they will succeed in doing SO if the
Exhibitors and the public are at all
grateful to the association for the time
and money they are SO lavishly spend
ing for the welfare of Bingham county.
This year the live stock exhibition will
receive increased attention, and the
premiums and inducements for the ex-
hibit of thoroughbred stock of all kinds
will be greatly augmented with view
of encouraging the breeding Of better
stock
