A meeting was held at the City
hall, Monday evening, to arrange pre-
liminaries for the Fourth of July
celebration. All those present favored
having the celebration on Monday
the fifth, and the committee having
charge of the finances last year stat
ed that there was a balance OF
$128.46 left over from last year
which they had placed on deposit in
the two banks to the credit of their
successors.
P. w. Powers was elected presi-
dent and James Ryan secretary.
H. c. Tavey, Neil F. Boyle, C. "
GAL SIX
! Fisher and S. L. Reece were elected
as a finance committee.
Frank Garvin was elected chair
man of the general committee with
authority to appoint as many assist
ants as he desired.
Stull Wright was elected perman-
ent secretary and T. ]. Johnson,
treasurer. 80
There are lot of young men at
Blackfoot, who will probably be
drafted by the committee to look
after just such amusements as tn q
and show the visitors a good time
and award the cash prizes to the
winners. Members of the committee
who considered buying few hund-
red dollars worth of fireworks are
considering whether it would not give
more to the boys and girls of this
county to spend a lot of it for five
and ten and two dollar prizes fol
exciting sports, and have the money
) in the county when they are done in
stead of having it back in Ohio OF
Maryland where the fireworks are
made. Some of the old wise-acres
who will be called upon to put uI
the money are saying, "Give the
young folks chance to show what
they are good for and to get the
money themselves. Inasmuch as the
celebration is mainly for them, lei
them get into the game and do some
of the "diddings." If the young folks
who have horses to ride and wan
things of this kind will run in anC
talk to Frank Garvin about it, ht
will pass the word along among the
committees and the things that the
youngsters speak for will be mos
likely to happen. Mr.. Garvin is thu
handsome fellow at Kenneys, "Tht
Busy Store" on Bridge street, anC
this celebration is going to- be /;
"Kids' celebration" if Frank can fine
out what the kids want. If they wan
lots of foot races for little boys, ant
little girls those little folks had bet
ter go in and talk to him about it
If they want all jumping contests o.
all tug-of-war or all of something
else the next few days is the time t,
make talk for 1t and make it to hin
as soon as they can get to him. H,
is going to be disappointed If 10
of them don't come around il
punches and have leader to speal
for the bunch and tell him what the,
want.
Some of the committee want bal
game for the larger folks, and wan
it to be between two teams from tn
country and bar all the Blackfoo
sports. The committee want to pu

Dickinson and
Mulvlle Clash
Attorney Assaults a Boy With Gun

Last Monday Attorney A. S. Dick.
inson, whose office Is in the rear OF
the second story at number 49 North
Main, is said to have elected John
Mulville from his office at the point
of gun, fired three shots in the hall
and dubbed him with the gun. Ac-
cording to reports received by this
office, there were two witnesses to
part of the row and one for the
nest of it besides the participants.
The statements given to us are az
follows:
Mr.. Dickinson has had number of
business transactions with the Cot
tage hotel where difference had
arisen and such differences were left
with attorneys to settle. 1t is re-
ported that in such settlements Mr..
Dickinson had made things very dis
agreeable for the Ashtons, who con-
duct the hotel, and for Mrs. Ashton s
son, John Mulville, and Monday g
clash grew out of such circumstances.
1t seems that certain claim for
Sc placed in Dickinson's hands for
settlement, and at first disputed as
an error, was paid by check by Mrs.
Ashton and on the same day her
sixteen-year-old son, John Null
vile, not knowing that his mother
had sent check for it, also mailed
one. When they discovered the
double payment, John went to Mr..
Dickinson's office, and so he says, ex-
planned the matter and asked for
the refund of one payment and it was
refused, and at the same time he was
ordered out of the office. He stated
he hesitated, saying, What about
this six dollars?" Whereupon Mr..
Dickinson drew gun from his desk
and backed him out of the office into
the hall, punching him repeatedly
with the weapon as he did so. Mr..
Dickinson then stepped back into the
office and in the same manner elected
Frank Baker, the night clerk of the
hotel, who had accompanied John
and who had been seated in the Of
flee during the conversation, and the
exit of John.
The two fellows were lined up
in the hall few feet from the door
of the office, John being nearest the
door, and Dickinson at the door, and
he fred two shots past them. John
states that he stood still and remark
ed to Dickinson, why you're a pref
ty brave guy" whereupon Mr.. Dick
inson struck him on the head with
the gun and drew back to strike
again but John grabbed his arm,
clinched with him and threw him
fiat on the floor face down.
Justice Belo Ball had been in the
office when the transaction started,
but had gone out and down the
stairs, and when Dickinson was
thrown he called for Ball, who re-
traced his steps. John was holding
Dickinson down and requested Mr..
Ball to take the gun, and invited
Dickinson to surrender it to Ball
which he did. Hostilities then ceased
and John went out and had his
wound dressed. The cut was short
but deep, and two stitches were used
to draw the scalp into position again.
Acting County Attorney ]. e. Good
drew a complaint against Dickinson
charging assault with a deadly
weapon and he was arrested by
Deputy Charles Thompson and taken
before Judge E. A. Doud, who set
the case for preliminary hearing on
Tuesday the fifteenth of June and al
lowed the defendant to go upon his

Sec. Bryan's
Withdrawal

Washington = Secretary Bryan'S
letter of resignation was as follows:
"My Dear Mr.. President: 1t is
with sincere regret that have reach
ed the conclusion that ! should re-
turn to you the commission of Sec
retary of state with which you honor
ed me at the beginning of your adj
ministration
"Obedient to your sense of duty
and actuated by the highest motives,
you have prepared for transmission
to the German government a note in
which / cannot join without violat-
ing what ! deem to be an obligation
to my country and the issue involved
is of such moment that to remain a
member of the cabinet would be as
unfair to you as it would be to the
cause which is nearest my heart,
namely, the prevention of war.
81 therefore respectfully tender my
resignation, to take effect when the
note is sent, unless you prefer an
earlier date. Alike disirous of reach
ling a peaceful solution of the prob
lens arising out of the use of sub
Emarines against merchantmen, we
find ourselves differing irreconcili-
ably as to the methods which should
be employed.
"It falls to your lot to speak Off
cially for the nation; l consider it to
be none the less my duty to endeavor
as a private citizen to promote the
end which you have in view by means
which you do not feel at liberty to
use.
"In severing the intimste and
pleasant relations which have existed
between us during the past two years,
permit me to acknowledge the pro-
found satisfaction which it has given
me to be associated with you in the
important work which has come be-
fore the state department, and to
thank you for the courtesies extend
ed
with the heartiest good wishes
for your personal welfare and for the
success of your administration, am,
my dear Mr.. President,
Every truly yours,
"W. ]. BRYAN"
MIR. Wilson'S Reply
The presidents letter to Mr.. Bryan
was as follows:
"My Dear Mr.. Bryan: accept
your resignation only because you in
sist upon its acceptance, and ! accept
it with much more than deep regret,
with feeling Of personal sorrow.
Our two years of close association
have been very delightful to me, Our
judgments have accorded in practi-
ically every matter of official duty and
VI puullC pOilCy uhLi hOW' youA sup
port Of the work and purposes of the
administration has been generous and
loyal beyond praise, your devotion to
the duties of your great office and
your eagerness to take advantage Of
very great opportunity for service
offered has been an example to the
.rest of us; you have earned our af-
fectionate admiration and friendship.
Even now we are not separated in
the object we seek, but only in the
method by which we seek it.
"It is for these reasons my feeling
about your retirement from the sec
retaryship of state goes so much
deeper than regret. sincerely de-
plore it. Our objects are the same
and we ought to pursue them to-
gether. I yield to your desire only
because | must, and wish to bid you
Godspted in the parting. We shall
continue to work for the same causes,
even when we do not work in the
same way.
with affectionate regard, sincere
ly yours,

Washington, Feb. s. - Germany 's
proclamation of war zone in the Wa
ters surrounding Great Britain and Ire.
land, contrary to first reports, does
not include the seas directly adjacent
to any neutral countries In Europe.
The official text of the proclamation,
received from Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin by the State Department. and
rectly bordering on the territorial wa.
ters of Fran and Great Britain are
held to be in the zore of operations
within which neutral vessels may be
subject to the hazards of naval war
fare.
The original wireless report stated
that shipping north of the Shetland
islands and for thirty nautical miles
along the Dutch coast, would be en-.
dangered in the same way" as the wa.
ters around the belligerent territory.
The Official text, after pointing out
that the waters surrounding Great
Britain and Ireland. including the Eng.
lish channel, were to be considered
within the zone OF war, says, however,
that the routes OF navigation around
the north of the Shetland islands in
the eastern part of the North sea and
In a strip thirty miles wide along the
Dutch coast are not open TO the danger
zone"
When officials of the State Depart.
ment received the text they immedi.
ately sent Il message of inquiry to de.
termine whether there was not some
slight error in translation OF the last
phrase mot open to the danger zone.'
but said later they had 10 doubt that
the particularization OF these routes
meant they were the suggested routes
for neutral ships, and that shipping to
Norway. Sweden, Denmark and Hol.
land was not affected by the proclama.
