FOrtunatel Auto Accident

A. w. Arps had an experience with
his auto on Sunday last that he does
not care to repeat, and congratulates
himself that ne is able to tell how 1t
happened. He was returning to town
from the north, having as other oc-
cupants of the car Mrs. VIM. Benning
and Dick Driebergen. In crossing
the bridge that spans the big canal
three miles north Of town, and reach
ing the approach on this end of the
bridge, he encountered some sand,
and his steering gear refusing to re-
spond to his efforts, the car went
over the embankment, turning COM
pletely over. The occupants of the
car were probably saved from severe
injuries from the fact that the top
of the car was not entirely demolish-
ed and protected the weight of the
car from coming down on the occu-
pants. Passers by came to the res
cue, and fortunately 1t was found
that Mrs. Benning had received only
slight injuries to her arm, while Mr.
Arps was suffering from an injury
to his shoulder. The top OF the car
was partially demolished and the
wind shield was broken, but the car
was righted and found to be work
ing all right and the party returned
to town In it. On examination 1t
was found that the rod that controls
the steering gear was broken, which
was the cause of the accident. From
the fact that Mr.. Arps was driving
the car very slow at the time, is due
the escape of the occupants with only
he slight injuries as above stated.

The fire department was called
out Monday evening to subdue the
flames OF burning automobile which
caught fire In front OF the Racket
store. John Hoffman. the owner OF
the auto. was having his tank filed
with gasoline, and thoughtlessly
lighted match to look into the tank
to see how near full 1t was. The gas
at once ignited. though fortunately
there was no explosion. but some OF
the fluid WAS thrown on the clothing
OF Mr.. Hoffman. which caught fire,
but was extinguished before doing
any bodily harm. The fire, however,
quickly spread over the auto and de-
stroyed the top. cushions and seats.
entailing quite a loss to the owner.
the chemical engine was at once on
the ground and soon subdued the
flames, but the crowd that had as
sembled kept a safe distance, antici-
pating an explosion OF the gasoline
tank. 1t was. however, a very for
tunate affair in that no one was hurt
but It should serve as warning to
those handling gasoline to keep their
matches In their pockets.

There will be a change of man
agement at the North Side Inn about
the first of the coming month. Mr..
Lewis, who has conducted this pop
ular house for the past year. has ten
dered his resignation to take effect
at that time. and he will be succeed
ed by Mr.. Carl Suntz, an experienced
hotel man, who has been clerk at the
Owyhee hotel in Boise for some time.
We regret to announce the departure
from our midst OF Mr. Lewis and his
estimable wife. who have made many
friends during their residence here,
but the former has several PROPOSE
lions under consideration that appeal
to him much more than managing a
hotel hence his conclusion to resign
the position here. Mr.. Lewis is a
hotel man of wide experience and
under his management the Inn has
become more popular than ever
among the travelling public. We be-
speak for the retiring manager con-
tinued success and prosperity where
ever he may locate, and welcome the
new manager with the confidence that
he Will meet with a cordial reception
by the citizens OF our town.

pairs Further on he had trouble

to HALEY where he was the guest OF
the garage there for nine days. at all
expense of something over 800 for
repairs that could have been made
In less than half that time in a we'll

The new Rialto theatre opened it's
doors to the public on Thursday ev-
ening last. and the rush for seats was
far beyond the expectations of Man
ager Tug. While the house seats
about 400, 1t was far inadequate to
accommodate the people, and 1t was
necessary TO repeat the program. Je-
rome can now boast OF as neat lit
tie theatre as can be found In this
section of the state. and we venture
to state that everyone who entered
the theatre on last Thursday even
ing, was surprised at its beautiful in
terror finish. Comfortable opera
chairs are provided for the patrons
and electric fans are placed through
out the interior to provide proper
ventilation. The theatre is provided
with nearly 400 chairs and 1t is safe
to say that it will be literally patron
lied. Mr.. Tug can be congratulated
on providing this splendid amusc-
ment house for the citizens of this
section, and we bespeak for him a
patronage that Will return him liber-
al returns on his investment. The
theatre complete represents an out
lay of about $4,000.

Editor Minis, of the News, finds
time between his editorial duties to
carry on a successful farming. Like
mnay other farmers he has been Civ
ing his attention to seed raising, with
very satisfactory results. Last week
he threshed his crop Of Alsike clover
from IL acres and the yield netted
him something over 100 bushels. AS
this seed is now worth something
over $1,000 per bushel, 1t will be
seen that his labors along this line
were quite successful
