CITIZEN PERTURBED BY
SUPPOSED BOOTLEGGfRS
Several Hilarious Individuals Disturb
Peace of COmmunity-AnOther Case
Recently.

S. H. Leeney tells of having had sew
eral experiences with bootleggers re-
Gently. Mr.. Leeney was about to re-
tire late Tuesday night in his room
on Second avenue North, when he was
attracted by the boisterous conduct of
some men on the nearby corner. He
went to investigate. When he got on
the street he saw a large individual
carrying ten-gallon keg, apparently
full of something, down the street,
accompanied by two smaller men. Mr..
Leeney followed the men, who were
quite noisy, until they arrived at a
business establishment in town, be-
hind which they went with the keg
One of the small men came back and
engaged Mr.. Leeney in conversation,
asking him if he did not want drink.
Mr. Leeney replied that he wanted to
warn them not to make so much noise
as they were disturbing the people.
The big man came up to Mr.. Leeney
and grabbing him by the arm wanted
to fight and denounced him in a loud
tone of voice. The small man inter
posed, however, and Mr.. Leeney beat a
strategic retreat. Mr.. Leeney then re-
turned to his rooming place and tele-
phoned to Police Officer Ham, who
promised to act at once.
The first incident happened about a
month ago, when two men with two
suit cases and a gunny sack appeared
in the same neighborhood. One of the
men stood guard while the other was
drumming up custom. Mr. Leeney and
another man followed them for some
distance, when Mr.. Leeney went and
telephoned to the police. When the
latter arrived the booze vendors had
escaped. Mr.. Leeney says that he in
tends to keep after the matter until
that part of town is cleaned up.

MAY FESTIVAL PLANNED
FOR NEXT WEEK
Children Of City Schools VIII Partici-
pate in Second Annual Eyent-Ex-
celIent Program Arranged.

The second annual May festival to
be given by the children of the Twin
Falls public schools will be held in the
city park Friday morning, May 5th.
If the weather will not permit holding
the festival, it will be given the fol-
lowing week, or if the day is cold,
rainy or windy, it is definitely settled
that the festival will be postponed
The exercises to be given in the city
park will be participated in by ap-
proximately 1900 boys and girls. These
exercises will be similar to those given
last year. However, this years pro-
gram will be more spectacular than
the last. There will be May-pole games
and folk games, as well as a great
variety of drills and plays.
Preceding the exercises in the park
there will be a parade through the
city. This parade will include prac-
tically all of the 1900 children enrolled
in the city schools, ranging from the
first primary grades to the senior
class in the high school. The parade
will form on Shoshone street, near the
depot and will march down Shoshone
street through the city to the park.
The children participating in the fes-
tival exercises will wear their cos
tunes in the parade. Each of the four
classes in the high school will march
in a body and will contribute some
thing to make the parade interesting.
The high school band will play.
The program will begin promptly at
10 o'clock in the morning. Mayor
Sweeley has very kindly consented to
close that section of Shoshone street
between the high school and the city
park. 1t will be necessary to rope off
a good part of the park in order to
have plenty of room.

ALL MEASURES ARE
ENDORSED BY CLUB
Referendum Held On Questions
From Chamber of Commerce.
PRICE MAINTENANCE, PREPARED
NESS AND EDUCATION FAVORED.
Dues For Tradesmen, Professional
Men and Men on Salaries Gut
Celebration Endorsed.

The Twin Falls Commercial club at
its meeting Tuesday night, voted in
favor of legislation for the mainten-
ance of resale prices. in favor of fed
eral aid for vocational training in
schools and for all the preparedness
propositions recommended by the Ma
tional Chamber of Commerce in the
referendum submitted, endorsed the
May day school festival and parade,
recommended to the board of directors
vigorous action in the preparation of
a program for the Fourth of July cele-
bration and cut in two the annual
dues for members belonging to the
professional classes and the trades All
motions were carried unanimously.
The amendment to the bylaws con-
sisted of a provision inserted in sec
tion 8, after the clause declaring that
the dues shall be $2400 year
payable annually. The declaring that
for professional men, tradesmen and
those on salaries, the rate shall be $12
a year payable quarterly in advance.
On the referendum question rela-
tive to the maintenance of resale
prices, President p w. McRoberts of
the Merchants association, was pres
ent and reported that that organiza-
ton had voted in favor of petitioning
congress to recommend the pending
Stephens bill for passage. but had de-
cided that it would be better for the
commercial club to take the lead in
taking such action as it deemed pro-
per with the referendum questions
submitted to it.
The arguments pro and con were
outlined by j. d. Whelan, who explain
ed the position of the majority of the
committee, the minority of the same
and the two members who, while en-
dorsing the majority report, filed spe-
cial findings recommending conserva-
tive legislation. The subject was dis
cussed by Samuel Hart and William H.
Eldridge, who suggested the possibili-
ty of the regulation taking the wrong
course and interfering with the legiti-
mate development of trade, but who
considered that the evils of predatory
price cutting where done for the pur-
pose of closing out competitors and
subsequently raising the prices of in
ferior goods to reimburse the sellers,

NEW MUzzLE ORDER
ISSUED BY BOARD
Many HaterS Now in Use Are
Held insufficient
NO EXCUSE WILL HEREAFTER BE
TAKEN FOR UNMUZZLED DOG.
Black Canine Scares People Near
Foundry Today Thrilling Incident
at Washington School.

The county board of health at
meeting this morning declaring that
some of the muzzles or halters now in
use are insufficient, passed a resolu-
tion that thereafter no muzzle shall be
deeemd sufficient unless it is either
of wire of approved formation or of
leather so formed with strap around
the dogs nose in position to absolutely
prevent him from biting man or ami
NAL. 1t was also ordered that any dog
exposed to hydrophobia either by
fighting with coyotes suspected of be-
ing mad, or by other means, should be
killed, and making it a duty for any
owner having such suspected dog to
report the same Cards will be print
ed warning people of these conditions.
1t was also decided that no person al
lowing a dog to go unmuzZled should
hereafter have any fine remitted for
any reason whatsoever.
While the board was still in session
telephone message was received nv
DR.. Parrott from his wife, saying that
the people near the foundry on the
Kimberly road were up in arms as a
result of the antics of a big black dog
that was running from porch to porch
frothing at the mouth and making
peculiar noises. Chief of Police Taylor
went out to kill him, but the dog es
capped. Mayor Sweeley requests that
every citizen act as a deputy and re-
port all unmuzzled dogs to his office,
telephone No. 81.
The invasion of the school grounds
of the Washington district by mad
dog Friday afternoon, followed by the
authoritative information that the dog
that attacked the little Wilson girl in
this city was mad, has tended to
arouse the people and officials to the
gravity of the rabies situation, and
radical steps are promised at once.
The story of the Washington district,
as told here, is that as the children
were playing at the afternoon recess
Friday a large mad dog, foaming at
the mouth, came charging on the
school grounds and made for the chill
dren, who ran as fast as they could.
He started after little boy, but be-
fore he reached him, Principal Rollo
Crater drew a gun and shot him dead.
Deputy H. G. Jackson was in the city
yesterday and received letter from
Deputy Thomas Uric, who reported the
killing of a mad horse on Lost creek
this week The animal in its frenzy
| had bitten the flesh from its own sides
and legs. Another horse went mad on
the Shoesole ranch. The letter went
on to say that Cog Hill had killed
three mad coyotes in his front yard
within the last month.
Deputy Jackson said that his great
est trouble during the past week had
been with dead animals which were
permitted to remain unburied. He had
been compelled to bury several which
should have been disposed of by their
owners, and would have to take steps
to invoke the law to compel owners tc
bury dead animals.

IMPORTANT ROAD
MEETING CALLED
Commissioners and Engineers
of Two States to Gather
JARBIDGE ROAD TO BE PLANNED
ON MAY II.
Governor Issues Call-Many Good Re-
ports Coming in Daily From the
Gold Camp.

A meeting of the commissioners of
Twin Falls and Owyhee counties with
the commissioners of Elko county, Ne
vada, and the state engineers of both
states has been arranged by the gov
ernors of the respective common
wealth and will be held on May IT,
The commissioners and engineers will
meet at Three Creek on the morning
of the day in question and will en-
deavor to come to some understanding
relative to the construction of the Jar
bidge road. The idea is to build a road
to that mining camp which will avoid
all the bad grades, including Crippin
hill, and will have nothing more than
a grade of 2 per cent at any point
as far as Hot hole.
The progress of Jarbidge, as report
ed from day to day, indicates a steady
and rapid development. Word was re-
ceived yesterday by Commissioner
Carlson that the Sundflower group,
west of the Bluster and Success mines,
had been opened. A party of capital
lists. including Louis Sloss, F. r. Short
and w. N. Fairbanks, who are inter
ested in the famous Long Hike, came
in Tuesday evening, had dinner in the
city and then left for their homes in
San Francisco. They made only gen.
eral statements, but these were ex-
tremely optimistic and indicative of a
determination to push development.
One of them said that they felt so en-
thusiastic that they wanted to "buy
the whole hill" Letters are coming
in daily to people in this city telling
of the splendid activities and urging
the completion of better roads from
Twin Falls.
Engineers say that this is entirely
practicable and that when the new
road is completed, as it will be this
summer, if the interested counties can
get together on it's construction, it
will be possible to have breakfast in
Twin Falls and get to Jarbidge in time
for the midday meal.

BIRDMAN FEATURE OF
THE CELEBRATION JULY a
Hair Raising Act Which Illustrates
Modern Warfare in the Clouds
Expected.

Real war will be simulated on the
Fourth of July in this city if the plans
which Secretary Mcmillan has in
contemplation are carried into effect.
A daring birdman has worked out a
plan by which he floats a mimic bat
tleship several thousand feet above
the earth and then sails high above it,
in a monoplane, carrying himself and
a woman passenger. He drops bombs
on the airship, supposed to be named
the Villa, which explodes. Then the
woman falls off the monoplane and
runs the risk Of not getting her para
chute open before she gets all the
way down. When the parachute opens,
if it does, the birdman circles around
her as she descends. The idea is to
illustrate the perfection to which mo-
dern aircraft has been brought. If this
feature can be secured it will prove
the greatest attraction of the celebra-
tion, though there are many others in
contemplation that will entertain the
people when worked out.
