 last battle of Ponieckpolski's dis tinguished career. For a quarter of century he was at war with Turks and Swedes, his initiation in military science being somewhat disastrous, for he was captured by the Turks in his first important engagement and was
 held In close confinement for three years at Constantinople. Upon his re- | lease in 1862 he was placed in com
 mand of the Polish republics forces

Storms Felt in Seas Depths.

That the sea may be disturbed by gales to depth equal to $50 times the height of the waves produced is con- clusion reached by the United States hydographic office from laboratory ex- periments. At depth of nearly 4,0OO feet, an ocean cable crosses a depres- sion in the ridge separating the basins of the North Atlantic and the Nor wegian sea, and this cable Is known to have been moved in storms. Violent tempests must be felt even at much greater depths.

Urgent Request For Cooperation
Sent Mayors.
LAXNESS IN ENFORCEMENT FOL-
LOWED BY UNWILLING.
ShOshOne Basin People Report De-
plorable Condition to Chairman of
Board.

The county board of health was yes
terday stirred to renewed activity in
regard to the rabies scare by reports
from different quarters of the pres
ence of mad coyotes and other ami
mails, the most lurid of which came
from the Shoshone basin and sur
rounding country, and letters were or
dered sent to all the mayors of the
county urging the passage and strict
enforcement of muzzling ordinances,
while an order was made that any dog
seen fighting with a rabid animal be
shot, regardless of whether he was
tied up and muzzled or not. This
last order was issued because of the
report of County Physician Woods
that a dog might go mad as result
of a bite by a rabid animal.
The story from the Shoshone basin
country was in the nature of a cry
for help. Chairman Carlson said that
he had received urgent requests for
the appointment of a deputy with
power to shoot mad COWS, where they
were reported, as a number of the
cattle had gone mad and had chased
settlers into their houses The set
tiers did not want to shoot animals
belonging to ranchmen because they
might be held liable. The chairman
said he had promised to see that relief
was granted. Deputy Jackson report
ed that dog had been fighting with
a coyote six miles east and one mile
south of Twin Falls, but he did not
recall the name of the owner. The
dog had since been muzzled and tied
with a log chain. 1t was reported that
all the dogs in the city had at one
time been muzzled, after a number had
been killed, but in the relaxation of
the quarantine the muzzles had been
taken off of many. This was the case
in other cities of the county. 1t was,
therefore, decided to act, and the fol-
lowing letter, written by the county
physician, was ordered sent to all the
mayors in the county:
Dear Sir.-Owing to the increasing
; prevalence of rabies among the coy
otes of this region and the frequent
outbreaks of the disease among do
mestic animals, it has become appar-
ent that strenuous measures must be
taken if we are to prevent the sacri-
! flee of human life to this terrible and
r incurable disease. We are inclosing
herewith a copy of the law recently
enacted and now effective, which pro-
? vides for the slaughter of unmuzzled
! dogs at large within the county. The
r purpose of this communication is to
2 request your cooperation in cam
paign which we plan to begin at once
= to exterminate all unmuzzled dogs
l which may be running at large within
the boundaries of Twin Falls county.
2 Every such animal is a menace to the
lives of men and women and espe-
5 cially the children of the community.
!, 1--WE respectfully request, therefore,
e that you secure the passage of an ord
' nance providing for the slaughter of
e all unmuzzled dogs at large within
e the corporate limits of your town, and
d proceed to enforce it Immediately with
e the utmost stringency. We are ad-
e dressing a similar request to the
= mayors of all the towns within Twin
= Falls county"

SOLUTION OF BRIDGE
TROUBLE IN SIGHT
HiIlsdale Highway Directors Confer
With Twin Falls People and Arrange
for Bond Election.

The construction of a rim-to-rim
bridge across the Snake river at the
east end of Addison avenue, nine miles
east of Twin Falls and two miles
north of Hansen, will be assured if the
bond election of the Hillsdale highway
district, to be held April 29, carries.
The success of this election will make
available $4,000 for the portion of
cost of such a bridge that would be
borne by the people on the north side
of the river. 1t is generally assumed
that if the people north of the river
are interested in becoming accessible
to the Twin Falls tract to the extent
of authorizing the bonding of the dis
trict, that Twin Falls county will find
way to raise the $4,000 additional
necessary for the completion of the
bridge.
The so-called Hansen bridge has
been the bone of much contention,
both in Twin Falls county and in the
community north of the river. 1t now
appears that all parties interested are
going to find an easy solution to the
problem, and, no doubt, if the bond
issue carries, a joint contract will be
entered into between the Hillsdale
highway district and Twin Falls coun-
ty for the construction of the bridge
The location of the proposed structure
has been determined, as well as the
type of bridge to be built. A suspen-
sion bridge from one rim of the can
yon to the other is favored.
TIL bond election, set for April 21
was the outcome of a meeting Friday
afternoon between DR.. Albee, repre-
senting the board of commissioners O
Twin Falls county; H. M. Vanderpool
NJ. B. Provost and the board of di
rectors of the Hillsdale highway dis
trict.

ALL WANT REPEAT
ON THE AUTO SHOW
Twin Falls Business Men Say That 1t
Was Great Event for the City and
Should Be Made Permanent.

"Yes, the automobile show was de-
cided success. 1t brought plenty of
money to the town and sent none out.
1t furnished wholesome recreation
and was a hly-educational affair.
By all means, it should be made per-
manent" The above is the composite
opinion of the Twin Falls business
man as revealed by a number of
thumb-nail interviews yesterday. AS
the representative of THE TIMES did
not get all the way around, and as
some merchants were out when he
called, and, above all, as everyone
seen said practically the same thing
in practically the same words, to quote
each one separately would simply
mean endless repetition. The differ
ences in ideas and even in words were
with reference to nonessentials.
Some said that they feared it would
not be a success, others that they felt
sure all the time that it would be;
all agreed that 1t was a success and
that it should "come back"

The Oliver meeting at Buhl started
Sunday at the big tabernacle there

day morning. The entrance was de-
stroyed and about 80 feet of the green

The fire was well under way when
discovered, so that it was impossible
to save the entrance room, while the

NEGRO DIES AFTER
TRIP TO AMER|CUS

OF interest here is the following
story concerning negro who was
brought here last Tuesday morning. 1t
is possible that action will come from
the incident which is related as fol-
lows:
The Lumpkin Independent says:
Tom Evans, colored, who was badly
shot up over in Webster county several
weeks ago, and staying with his half
brother, Neal Evans, near Lumpkin,
while under treatment of DR.. Milton
Walton, who was preparing him for an
operation, was badly handled on Tues
day last.
Sometime Tuesday, it is said, Char
ley Drew, resident of Webster county
went in his auto to where Bright was
staying and took him under protest to
Americas in the rain to deliver him to
the county authorities for some minor
offense which Drew was bondsman.
Mr.. Drew was advised by Sheriff
Johnston that the negro was unable 70
so and that doctors certificate would
be all required of him.
1t is also stated that when he arriv-
ed at Americas the authorities refused
to take the negro as he was in a most
critical condition.
Tom was put on the west bound
Seaboard train in charge of another
negro who forsook him at Richlan /,
and Tom was brought on tc Lumpkin
and put off at the depot here in an I'M
conscious condition. No one knew him
at the depot and he was unable to tell
where he wanted to go.
Mr.. J. E. Goodman had a fire made
in the colored waiting room and hired
a man to stay there all night to look
after him and make his last hours as
comfortable as possible.
Tom breathed his last about 10
o'clock Wednesday morning and the
people here believe that his death was
due to exposure in being carried to
Americas, as Dr.. Walton stated that h !
had some chance to recover if he mad
not been molested.
