Dear brother members
Although | am now non-active

you in spirit if not in person.
1t was with a deep feeling of pride
and pleasure that I read in the Ben
nington paper of the splendid show
ing you boys made at the Firemen's
tournament held in Rutland on Labor
day.
Your winning of the cup again this
year marks the company as being
the finest in the state.
am glad that the interest and en-
thusiasm that is always necessary
for success is so plainly manifested
by such grand showing and | sin
cerely hope that you will keep it up.
Comprised of the best young men
in town, coupled with stringent rules
that are faithfully lived up to, no
other result could have been expect
ed
have been here two years now and
have Witnessed two very serious fires
and although Manchester affords a
paid fire department with up-to-date
apparatus, honestly believe the Ben
nington fire department of volunteers
could have made a better showing
and proved of greater service.
Again | congratulate you and in
the years to come ! heartily wish you
the great success each and every one
Of you deserve

Another Newspaper Coming

Boomers Ferry is likely to enjoy
full supply of newspapers if the
plans of various newspaper men all
mature. ]. M Schnatterly, of
Spokane, has announced that he
will put in a democratic newspaper
at once and this week the Herald
received card from f. Z. Rettig,
of Sacramento, Cali, stating that
he had shipped a newspaper plant
to Boomers Ferry and that he in
tended to start new paper, also
democratic in politics. Mr.. Rettig
announces that he is "a seasoned
democratic newspaper man" There
is still another rumor of another
democratic paper to be started
here. 1t is understood that Editor
Long, of Clarksfork, has given up
the idea of trying to get fresh
start in the newspaper game by
coming to this city. With two or
three new democratic newspapers
in the field it is easy to see the fin
ish of the Herald.

Wednesday evening a warrant
was issued for John Hawk, upon
the complaint of Hiram D. Steph-
ems, in which he was charged with
mayhem, the complaining witness
swearing that the defendant had
chewed part of his right ear off.
Prior to the issuance of this war
rant Marshal Morley had arrested
Hawk on the charge of disturbing
the peace and in Justice Hoagland' S
court Hawk had been admitted to
a bail bond of SIS. Sheriff Remer
then arrested Hawk on the may
hem charge. The prisoner asked
permission to use the toilet in the
Club saloon and when the request
was granted he jumped through
the window and made his getaway.
Sheriff Remer Immediately set out
to recapture the prisoner and au-
thorities all over the country have
been given a description of the
man and ordered to hold him
should he put in an appearance.

debts which Barring left behind
soon after the burning of the Bar
ling restaurant. This restaurant
was burned last summer and no
clue of how the FIRE started was
ever given. The furnishings and
fixtures were insured for 81, 500
which was paid. Upon collecting
the insurance money the Barlings
skipped town without settling nu-
merous grocery and other bills con-
tracted with local merchants, who
Immediately attached certain Grated
goods and boxes supposed to con-
tain Barling's household goods and
personal belongings. When the
crates and boxes were finally opened
at the sheriff's sale they were found
to contain practically all the silver
ware, glass dishes, linen, knives, a
typewriter monograph and nu-
merous other articles, perishable
and otherwise, which were sup
posed to have been destroyed in
the fire and on which Darling col
lected his insurance money.
When Bradfeld was first arrested
and searched Marshall Worley
learned that Bradfield had certain
personal property stored with a
transfer company in Spokane. AS
soon as it was discovered that Brad
field had escaped from Jail Mar
shall Morley Immediately phonep
the Spokane police to arrest and
hold any person who tried to take
these goods.
In the meantime Brad6eld was
re-captured and in order to square
himself as far as possible with those
he had done out of money he gave
an order for the goods stored in
Spokane. Accordingly Amos Myers
went to Spokane to get Bradfeld's
belongings and no sooner applied
for them than he was placed under
arrest, the Spokane police suppos-
ing him to be Bradfield. Myers
had quite a session with the Spo-
kane officers and had to get in
touch with Morley over the tele-
phone before he could secure his
release

MILITARY BALL A BIG SUCCESS
Hall Packed With Crowds Who Enjoy
Dancing Until Late Hour

The first annual military ball
given by Company f, 1. N. c.. at
Kent's hall last Friday evening,
was by far the most successful So
cial function ever given in this
city. There were over 120 couples
in attendance and the floor was so
crowded that it was necessary to
give double dancing numbers,
those not members of the National
Guard dancing the first half and
the National Guard members dane
ing the second half of each dance.
The members of the Guard were
in full field uniform.
A six piece orchestra furnished
music for the dance. Lemonade
was served during the evening
from huge cake of ice which was
placed on the stage platform beside
a small tent which was labeled the
army canteen. The hall was
beautifully decorated with flags
and bunting and various National
Guard paraphernalia.
The dancing lasted until a late
hour. There was no perceptible
thinning of the crowd at midnight.
At one o'clock a few had left. AT
two O'Clock a few more left and
from two to three o'clock the
dancing was fine, but after three
o'clock the orchestra quit and the
dancers went home a tired but hap
py crowd.
The greatest share of the credit
for the great success of this first
dance by the local company of the
National Guard is due Sergeant
H. A. Gale and the members of the
executive committee which had
charge Of the general arrange
uents.

WOULD BOND
FOR $4,000
School District No. 4 Will Have An
other Bond Election on Sat-
urdsy, March 5th
TO BUY THE RICHARDSON SITE
Meets Requirements for a Larger
School Building

At special meeting of the board
OF trustees of Independent School
District No. 4, held last evening,
it was decided to call for a bond
election to be held on Saturday,
March 6, at the school house, for
the purpose of deciding whether or
not the trustees should be author
lied to issued 20 year bonds bear
ing not more than six per cent in
terest, redeemable in part or in
whole in ten years at the option of
the board, for the purpose of build
ing new school house, buying
the site known as the Richardson
site, and equipping the proposed
building. The bond issue will be
for $45, 600.
The chairman of the board of
trustees was authorized to appoint
two judges and one clerk of cleo
ton.
At the meeting of the board last
Monday night a week ago a COM
mittee composed of F. A. Shultis
and DR.. E. E. Fry was appointed
to secure options on the Richard
son site and last evening this COM
mittee reported that the options it
had secured called for a payment
of SO, 800 for tract approximately
240 feet by 800 feet, taking in lots
10, IL, IL, ID, IA, Is and 10 owned
by F. R. Richardson and valued at
50, 800; lots II and 10 owned by
w. j. McGlocklin and valued at
81 200; lots 6, 7, 8 and 9 and the
east half of lot 5 owned by Mrs.
Belle Bishop and valued at 81, 900;
and lot 19 owned by E. M. Garrett
and valued at 81, 800, all the lots
named being in block one, of

local option territory which had
only four votes against it N the
Senate and ten in the House. Then
q House bill declaring the state dry
after January /, 1916, was intro
duced and after some feeble, dila-
tory tactics was passed by unani-
nous vote last Thursday and is
now in the Senate. The vote it
will receive there will likely not be
so one-sided but there is every
probability of its passage by two
thirds majority and there is no
doubt that the Governor will sign
all this bills as soon as they reach
his Office.
This preponderance of temper
ance sentiment comes from all over
the state and has been intensified
by the strife in local option coun-
ties. So bitter is this sentiment in
such counties as Bonneville, Ban
mock, Twin Falls, Canyon and Nez
Perez counties that the legislature
has shown willingness to 60 to any
length in settling this question. 1
think the wet people are somewhat
to blame for this feeling as they
have not always acquiesced in the
public sentiment of local option ter
ritory and have to some extent de-
fed it. For my part I must con-
fess to feeling of sympathy for
men whose business interests will
be actually wiped out by this enact
ment and the time given for adj
justment is pretty short. On the
other hand it must be conceded
that the handwriting on the wall
has been plainly visible for some
time and the wise man who is IN
terested in the liquor business will
meet the inevitable by rearranging
his business interests to meet this
coming change. 1t is significant
that the entire delegation from
Bonner county, including Speaker
Conner, who has always been a
consistent wet advocate, supported
all these bills, and Bonner is CLASH
fed as a wet county. If the peo-
pie of Idaho have made up their
minds to get along without the sa-
loon, all good citizens should sup
port the legislation now being
enacted. Very truly yours,
E. &. ELLIOTT.
