TEACHING A LESSON
By THROWING ROCKS
is COSTLY BUSINESS

While returning from Heise last
evening B. J. Briggs and family were
assaulted with large rock by a Pc
destrian. Mr.. Briggs and wife ae-
companied by VIM. Mcconnell and
wife and Mark Wright and wife had
visited Heise and in the evening de-
termined to go to Rexburg by way
of Rigby. AS they neared the ap-
proach of the dry bed bridge q num-
Der of pedestrians were sighted. The
horn was footed and all Of the party
stepped aside to permit the auto to
pass. After going several yards one
of the party turned around and saw
Mr.. William Story Of the pedestrians
pick up a large rock and hurl, it at
the automobile The entire party ex-
cept Mr.. Briggs, ducked their heads.
The rock grazed Mr.. Briggs head and
smashed the windshield. The car
was stopped and Story was asked
what induced him to hurl the rock
at them. He replied that the ex-
pected to teach the automobiles a
lesson and proposed to make them go
around pedestrians.
Criminal action will be commenced
against William Story for an assault
with deadly weapon.
The act is said to have been en-
tirely uncalled for and had the mis-
sile struck the driver of the car the
entire party would have been piled
up in the river, as the car was just
approaching the bridge.-Idaho Falls

trial this week for reckless driving
when he collided with two autos near
Firth. The evidence indicated that
his speed attracted attention OF OBJ
servers along the road between Po-
catello and Firth, who judged him
to be going as high as 40 or SO miles
an hour. According to Mr. Clay's
testimony as to what time he left
Salt Lake City and when he passed
Blackfoot, he appeared to have aver
aged II miles an hour between the
two places. Two witnesses who were
in close personal contact with Mr..
Clay just after the collision said they
smelled liquor on him. Mr.. Clay's
testimony as to speed at different
places was in contradiction to that
of all the witnesses called by the
state. The jury returned q verdict
of guilty and Judge Doud fined him
$50 and costs. These have been
computed at $200.90 besides court
costs and sheriff's fees. A large num-
Der OF witnesses were called from
various places thru which Mr.. Clay
had travelled and attracted attention
by his speed.

JOB SWIPING

For many moons the word hath
gone forth that women have ruth
lesly swiped mems jobs, but now
statistical table basely turns the good
old idea topsy turvy. Looking the
figures over, one finds that the male
has invaded the age-long work of
his sister to much greater extent
than she has invaded his. Canning
and preserving was ever woman's
work-yet today in the United States
43.1 per cent of the workers are men
and 49.8 women; in the clothing line
those who labor are 1872 per cent
men and 1873 per cent women; In
work ON cotton goods 500 are men
and 1877 women; on wooden goods
SO per cent men and Alb women;
and HI patent medicines and drugs
46.6 per cent are men and 51.3 wo-
men. Men have also managed to
push themselves into millinery, fur
nishing goods, the roasting and Sc
lecting of peanuts, ETC., until they
constitute rs per cent of the work
ing force, while they are a good ~
per cent of those employed to work
on corsets, artificial flowers, feathers
plumes, etc. As opposed to this show
ing, women make small percentage

AGAINST MUNICIPAL
PLANTS

Down at Danville, Illinois, the
town where Uncle Joe Cannon lives,
there was an election the other day,
and people voted whether to issue
100000 worth of municipal bonds
to enable the city fathers to build q
municipal lighting, plant to go into
competition with one already In the
field. The city fathers were in the
same position regarding the lighting
plant that the Blackfoot council are
regarding street paving; they were
ready to go ahead with the plans and
put it up to the people to ratify at
the polls. The people by a vote OF
three to one, withheld their consent,
and the, bonds cannot be sold nor
the lighting plant built.
At Whitehall, Illinois, a town OF
5000 people, they voted the same
day on similar bonding proposition
and turned it down by comfortable
majority. The people said in effect,
mo thank you. We have seen
enough of municipal plumbers"

AROUND THE COURT HOUSE

w. s. Evans, of Thomas, was
charged with being drunk from
drinking cider and he plead guilty
and said he did not know that it
was illegal to drink cider. Judge
Doud fined him $25 which he paid.
He thanked the prosecuting attorney
for the information and said he
guessed he would have to cut out
the cider. Analysis showed that the
beverage contained over s per cent
alcohol, and warrant has been is

SOCIETY NEWS


Society apparently has not awak-
ened from its lenten lethargy, for as
yet there have been few parties. Dur
ing the past week the little tots have
been busy with colored paper and
paste, preparing their May baskets,
which they stealthily and joyfully de-
livered at dusk on May day. 1he
Junior promenade was the most en-
joyable social function of the spring
months; at least so the gay dancers
say. Gentlemen, knowledge seeking
women and the happy youngsters
have all been immensely interested
in the electrical demonstrations and
luncheons given by Mrs. Brokaw on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
this week. The other social gather
ings have been few but pleasant. In
the coming week Mrs. L. B. Dustin
and Mrs. F. W. Bergman will be
hostesses at a large card party,
which promises to be very lovely
one. Invitations are out for a 500
party to be given Friday evening at
the |. O. o. F. hall by the ladies of
the D. of N. Delightful plans are
being made for future parties, but
at this time they do not wish news
