MASQUERs ENJOY GOOD FROLIC.

The prizes for the best costumes
at the masquerade given in the Wagner
hall Tuesday evening were won by
Mrs. S. A. Forter and Stanley Mat
thews. Mrs. Forter was beautifully
unanimously voted the first prize for
women. Mr.. Matthews irhpersonated
a native of India and presented an i'm
posing front with his dignified white
turban and black face. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ben Davis were the people of mystery
as long as the masks were worn. Mr..
Davis with his big boy costume and
hobby horse succeeded in mystifying
the party more than any other person
in the hall.
A color scheme of red, white and
blue with red predominating decorated
the dance hall and waiting roms. A
plentiful supply of punch in one cor
ner of the hall proved to be a popular
attraction between dances and was
second only to the light luncheon of
coffee and doughnuts served late in
the evening.
The American Falls Concert orches-
ira, under the leadership of o. X.
Bum, furnished the music for the
evening in pleasing style and present
ed a varied program of one-steps,
waltzes, three-steps, fox-trots, inter
spersed with good old fashioned Vir-
ginia reels and quadrills. The pres
ence of the masks and costumes seem
ed to add to the gaity of the evening
and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all
Mrs. o. r. Baum. Mrs. W. H. Han
son and Mrs. G. M. Oliver were the
hostesses and succeeded in planning
for the evening one of the most de-
lightful entertainments that has been
gi--n in American Falls recently.

WOMEN PROTEST AGAINST
PUBLIC EXECUTION OF DOGS
Ladies of W0Odcraft Petition City
Council for New Solution of Stray
Cur Evil.

petition, asking that the shooting
of stray dogs on the city streets and
in the residence districts be discon-
tinued, will be presented to the city
council tomorrow by the Ladies Of
Woodcraft in American Falls. The
petition is occasioned by the fact that
several women and girls have been
unwilling witnesses of the execution
OF stray dogs and in some cases have
been thrown into Mysteries as a re-
suit Of the shooting, and the yelping
OF the wounded animals.
The stray dog evil has always been
problem for the city officials, par
ticularly the marshal whose duty il is
to exterminate them. 1t is difficult
to catch them with the facilities af-
forded by the city and it is also diff
ficult to chase them to the outskirts
OF the city before shooting them. Mar
shall Watts has been shooting them
whenever the best opportunity has oc-
cured as he is instructed to shoot all
dogs unlicensed and without muzzles.
The petition asks that the council
use some other means OF execute the
dogs in some place other than public
where it may cause great harm to
women and children. 1t is cited that
one little girl had to stay out of school
following the shooting of a dog that
was near her.
Mayor Wones appreciates the danger
that is incurred by shooting the ami
mails in public. "The problem of straw
dogs has two sides" he said this morn
ing, and / realize the serious results
that might follow a public shooting
witnessed by women and children. |
have instructed Marshal Watts to use
great caution when looking for strays
and shall endeavor to remedy the com
paint as much as possible. It is hard
to catch the dogs and we almost have
to get rid of them whenever the op-
portunity offers"
