for road from the Tilden highway on
the north line of s. T. Graham s land
east to the river, and thence north to
the southwest corner of Section 20. to
the Tilden road near Mr.. Z. L. Thomp-

very grateful to them for doing Sc.
The citizens here are also grateful to
County Attorney Adair for his efforts
and courtesy i'll establishing this road
which was very badly needed in this
section. This road has developed the
best bridge site between American

a bridge at this point would throw a
large amount of trade to Blackfoot that

Malice is Motive says Physician

Malice is Motive Says Physician
That the malpractice suit fled again
ct him by A. NJ. Curtis was actuated
by spite and with spirit Of revenge,
was the assertion of DR.. G. II. Cooper
Of McCammon, who was visitor in
the city today. Saturday the suit was
fled charging DR.. Cooper with neglect
in confinement case at McCammon,
the patient at this time being in the
Blackfoot infirmary. -
DR.: Cooper states that nothing could
have been a greater surprise to him
than to receive notice Of such action,
as he states the admission is made in
the complaint that he did not attend
the woman during the childbirth, and
that the case had been taken care of
by the woman's husband. Later he
states the woman was taken to his
hospital at McCammon, where he cared
for her for several weeks, after which
he recommended that she be sent to
the Blackfoot institution, having con
suited with other physicians, who con.
cured with him.
He states that poisoning had infect
ed the woman, for the reason that she
had not been under the proper care Of
a physician following the birth Of her
child. He had been called to attend the
case very late and the child was born
before he arrived. Later, when the
woman became poisoned, he was again
called into the case, and she was re-
moved to his hospital. DR.. Cooper
states that last March he was compell-
ed to file suit against Mr.. Curtis fp-
his fee as well as attorneys fees, al
that he secured judgment in the court
Of Probate Judge, Bell in the sum Of
$l75 with costs.
"In view Of that circumstance I
am satisfied" said DR.. Cooper, "that
the malpractice case was prompted by
malice, and I shall certainly prove that
end Of the proposition. What surprises
me more than anything is that the
parties interested apparently timed the
case to suit the circumstances that 1
had sold my interests in McCammon
and completed everything to move to
Burnley, and there appears to be desire
to place me in bad light, if possible,
before the people Of that community.
l most certainly will resist the case to
the limit of the courts, as there is moth
ing to it, this not being the first case
of insanity that has occurred in the
family and with which I assuredly avn
not chargeable ''-POcatello Tribune.

Billy Bunny and His Friends

Mr. Happy Sun was up bright and
early. He shone on the Pleasant
Meadow and lighted up the dark places
in the Friendly Forest. He even poked
a sunbeam into the eyes of Parson Owl,
who winked and blinked and turned the
other way. Everybody was now wide
awake, for the Little People Of the
Friendly Forest and the Pleasant
Meadow are always up with Mr.. Happy
Sun.
Billy Bunny looked out from the Old
Brier Patch. Who was that bending
down over the tall grass in the corner
OF the old snake fence? Billy Bunny
shaded his eyes with his paw and
looked again. Yes, 1t was just as he
had first supposed. The Miller boy
stood up, holding his hat carefully In
his hands. Then he turned with a
laugh and walked home.
Il wonder what he has been doing?"
said Billy Bunny to himself. And, be-
ing curious little bunny. he hoped
over to see. Carefully peeping in thru
the tall grass he found q nice round
nest, but empty. Only stray gray
speckled feather was left. ~ !
HE has stolen the eggs!" cried Billy
Bunny to himself. Hes just mean
enough to steal eggs"
AS he stood there wondering whose
nest 1t was and feeling very angry to
think that the miller's boy had done
such a mean trick, he saw Kenny Jenny

Now, Henry Jenny was. very pretty
little gray speckled hen that lived
quite near the Pleasant meadow. In
stead Of laying her nice white eggs
in the nests which were built in the
old hen house at the farm, Just across
the road, she came all the way over
to this place. But Billy Bunny didn't
know that. He didn't know whose nest
it was until Kenny Jenny said very ex-
citedly, who has deem fobbing my
nest? Did you, Billy Bunny?"
rs 1t your nest?" gasped Billy Bunny
You see, he was startled. for he. hadn't
thought it was hers. And she looked at
him as If she would like to peck his
little pink eyes right out OF his head.
"of course It's mine" said Henry
Jenny. But answer my question. Did
you take my eggs?"
cot course not" said Billy Bunny, Il
saw the miller's boy leave here with
his hat in his hands few minutes ago.
