the Germans nave fought back just
as hard and successfully as their
foes. with not the slightest thought OF
retirement. The pecking process Of
the Allies results in heavy losses. in
which. as the attacking party they
probably share the heavier, without
any considerable gains. Now and
then the German rush them back to

On sea, while the Allies claim viz

defeat is not within the British reck-

men can see nothing ahead at the

THE CITY
ELECTION

All parties won and all parties lost
something in Tuesdays election. The
vote was probably the lightest per-
centage of population ever cast in
city election, being about two hund-
red less than two years ago which
was considered light.
e. T. Peck was elected mayor by
81 votes; DeKay and Wright tied
for city clerk; Mrs. Cherryis treas
|urer by 80 votes; James Young won
for surveyor; ]. E. Good won for
police judge by seven votes; A. B.
Stephens won for councilman in the
first ward with G. G. Clarke and
Frank Heese tied; Frank Bergman
and F. w. Pelkey won in the second
ward; w. G. Thompson and B. r.
Boiling in the third and H. A. Now
cry and v. Van Bramer in the fourth.
The first and second wards gave ma
Jorities for Peck and the third and
fourth for Capps. Hundreds of peo-
pie did not vote at all.
The canvass of the votes will be
made Tuesday evening and the law
provides that candidate who tie shall
settle it by lot.

THE MAY DAY FETE

On Monday, May 3, the children OF
the graded schools will give May
Day program on the grounds of the
Central school consisting of marches,
drills, songs and finally the May pole
and the May queen. This is an at
tempt to revive the beautiful old
custom of May Day observance and
at the same time to give the children
something to work ON that will take
them out of doors.
The present plan to use the nine
hundred children will lend an inter.
est to practically every family in
town. There will be no charge of ad-
mission and plenty of room for all
to see the different parts of the pro-
gram. 1t will be spectacle worth
seeing and all parents or friends are
invited to be present. Miss O'Brien
the music supervisor, has charge
while each of the grade teachers will
assist in making the different parts
move along as they should.
The program will begin promptly
at 1880 p. m,

THE LAUGH is ON DYGERT

We heard a good joke couple Of
weeks ago, and R. ]. Dygert was
credited with making the wise re-
mark, so we Immediately made in
quiry at The Pastime to see what
brand of cigar he liked best and took
him one, delivering it to him in coun-
Gil meeting when we could not con-
veniently explain why he "had it
coming" We merely whispered to
him that it was for wise remark he
had made, and he smiled his approval
and smoked.
In the last issue of "Their paper"
the incident is related and Trego is
charged with trying to Secure city
patronage" by this means, and refer
red to the cigar as an old crooked
stogy that looked as if 1t had been
made by Trego.
That's the kind the salesman said
Dygert liked best, and anybody knows
| it would be bum looking cigar that
Byrd Trego would roll. He isn't
experienced.
But to refer to the original joke,
Dooley approached r. J. Dygert in
the presence of others and demanded
to know if the committee had ap-
pointed Trego to collect campaign
expense money. Mr.. Dygert replied
that the committee had not.
Well" said Dooley, HE is col
lecting money for something connect
ed with the campaign"
Mr.. Dygert: "Oh we'll, he is doing
that on his own initiative, and blythe
way, I think it a very good stroke
of business.
Dooley departed, and is still peeved
and anxious for some means of dis
crediting Trego, as If that had any
thing to do with the issues of the
campaign.

A. K. CHRISTENSEN
MISREPRESENTED 1T

Editor Dooley speaking for A. e.
Christen, former county surveyor, re-
lative to the $28.69 worth of books
and instruments bought by the county
and retained by himself up to this
time, over three months after his
successor took the position, admits
that he has the goods and says he
will turn them over to Surveyor
Young. He asks by what authority
we made the demand, and our answer
is that the editor of this paper is a
ak payer here, has been for the past
twenty-seven years and has never
been delinquent in payment of taxes.
We think that gives us right to
make the demand.
Christensen says that prior to the
election last fall we wrote to him
offering him political write-up"
for ten dollars, and that he refused
to be grated. We offered him per-
sonal write-up free of charge the
same as we did all the other candi-
dates on the Republican ticket. Our
letter to him said that on October
9 we would give page or more to
our ticket free of cost to anybody,
land that If he would send us a few
items about his age, place of birth,
education, etc., which we did not hap
pen to know, we would incorporate
them into the article. He did not
reply to the letter, and we omitted
saying anything about him. There
was one other candidate up that way
who received the same kind of let
ter and acted the same way about it.
We omitted him too, All the other
candidates know that we did not
mention money to them or to the
committee. We gave them over two
pages, urged people to be loyal to
the party so far as they could con-
sistently do so, and we did it for
the sake of Republican principles.

preparation is needed in order to
please and accommodate all.
The young people, not alone Of
the Latter Day Saints church, but of
the different denominations through
out this section have in the past
taken much interest in the exercises
on this day, and as a consequence
have given much encouragement to
the officers in charge.

best material out of our winters
work, members of the two associa-
tions who have stood the test, both
in the ward and stake district try
outs. will contest for places in the
church district tryout to be held at
Rexburg, May 9 of this year.
We will interest you in orations
and stories, both from our young men
and young women, also in singing,
quartette work, boys and girls
chorouses mixed double quartette
work, which we assure you will be
of the highest quality.
There will be three we'll matched
ball games. One junior ball game
in the forenoon. One game between
the Thomas and Moreland teams, and
a contest game between the Riverside
and Groveland teams in the after
noon, there will also be running,
jumping, pole vaulting and in short,
sports of all kinds will compose the
afternoon amusements.
Refreshments of all kinds will be
served to you by our boys and girls,
lunch of first class quality, prepared
and served to you by our young
ladies. In short nothing has been
left und ne for your, pleasure and
entertainment

wards will be there, designated by
their badges of service, and will be
at your command.
At the conclusion of the day two
M. l. A. dances will be given, one
lin Moreland and the other in the
Progress hall at Blackfoot; the pro-
ceeds from the dances will be used
to defray the expenses of the day.

BURCLARlES

On Sunday night somebody broke
into the Cash Store at the rear and
: took some mems suits, sizes 81 and
l39. some fine silk goods and ladies'
hose and made their escape.
On Monday night The Central Meat
Market was entered at the back
window and the safe and till rifled.
The safe was opened with tools found
in the shop The combination of the
outer door of the safe was not in
full effect and they evidently felt
lit out and happened to turn it the
short way to release. Then they took
1.-THE cleavers and steel from the
blocks and battered the lock of the
inner door until it opened and did
the same with the cash drawer with
lin the safe. They took oil the coin
|and currency from the safe and the
till and left the checks on the meat
block. Three small match boxes lay
on the floor empty near the safe, and
many burnt matches lay about on the
floor. They had used lap robe
and the butchers aprons to conceal
1.-THE light or to muffie the noise of
the pounding or both.
On Saturday afternoon a lady
bought bill of goods at the Brown
Grocery and put them in her buggy
near the store and left for about
fifteen minutes and when she return
ed all the goods were gone.

IRELAND IS
FOUNDCUILTY

At the trial of John Ireland last
Saturday on the charge of battery, he
was found guilty by jury of six
men. ]. E. Good prosecuting and A.
s. Dickinson defending.
Byrd Trego was the first witness
called and his testimony was to the
effect that he had some words with
Ireland and was turning to 60 when
Ireland struck him in the face. He
drew loaded quirt from his hip
pocket and struck two blows, fell
ing Ireland. This was corroborrated
by G.. L. Braley and Frank Benson
and several others who saw parts Of
the same acts. A couple of witnesses
for the defense said that Trego pass
ed his hand to his hip pocket before
Ireland struck the blow and then
drew the quirt after being struck.
One witness who saw them both
thought the blow came first and the
reach to the hip pocket followed. All
agreed that Trego was stepping back
away from Ireland or was turning to
go when Ireland struck the blow. Ire
land claimed he struck Trego because
he thought Trego was going to draw
a gun or weapon of some kind. Trego
was recalled and asked If he put his
hand in his hip pocket or on 1t as he
turned to go, and he said he was not
aware of it If he did; that he was
simply turning to go and join Mr..
Braley, who was waiting for him.
Braley was recalled and asked if he
was not friend of Trego's and an
xious to see Ireland convicted. He
replied that he was friend of Tre-
gos and as to the other he wanted
to see every man protected in the ex-
ercise of his civil rights.
The important point for the jury
to decide was whether or not Mr..
Trego took an attitude or made a
movement that was menace to the
safety of Mr.. Ireland such as would
call for prompt attack to save himself.
The verdict indicated that the jury
thought Ireland had exceeded his
rights.
In the course of the cross examina-
ton by Dickinson, Mr.. Trego was
asked if he had not made a practice
of slurring the Irelands and others
through his paper. He replied that
he had not, but that two or three
years ago he had published an article
criticising the action of party, of
which the Irelands were part. Ire
land stated that he had this in mind
when he told Trege to keep his name
out of the paper hereafter,
Ireland has appealed to the district
court.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1915-04-30
A PHILOSOPHER is HE

Some smart man writing for Their
paper" says that Longfellow could
take piece of worthless paper and
write something on it and make 1t
worth $65, and that would be genius;
but if Trego took a sheet Of paper
and wrote something ON it and made
it worth the same amount it would
be graft.
Very good. That proves our con-
tention once more, that no matter
what Trego says or does Their
paper construes it to be wrong and
pernicious.
