WAR SAVINGS STAMP CAMPAIGN

The War Savings Stamp campaign
seems TO be gathering force like
snow slide. 1t is turning millions of
dollars into the war fund which would
otherwise be spent foolishiy and vast
ed. Don't get the idea. however, that
it is a children's affair. Grown ups
should be equally interested in it and
be able to grasp the opportunity it
offers to save and Help. SAVE AND
HELP. There are mighty few persons
who can not cut off some little extra
indulgence daily or weekly and invest
the savings in Thrift Stamps. 1t will
surprise you how the little stamps
reach proportions worth while. while
the aggregate thus saved for the Gov
ernment is now running close to mill
lion dollars a month.

Mrs. John Truman Mcmahon
nee Miss Lois Borden
McMAHON-BORDEN

An event of unusual interest to the
ing when Lois, eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. c. F. Borden, became the
wife of John Truman Mcmahon. Vases
of beautiful jonquils and daffodils lent
a touch of springtime sentiment TO the
scene. The wedding was very quiet;
only the members of the two families
most deeply interested being assembled
in the parlor of the beautiful Borden
home, when the sweet and sympathe-
tic voice of Miss Ava Mcmahon, ac-
companied by her sister Tress, an
nounced the hour of seven by singing
Love. Here is My Heart" At the
close of the song the bride and groom,
unattended, descended the stairs and
stood in the doorway between the par
lor and the reception hall. where they
were joined in marriage with the short
ring ceremony of the Methodist church,
Rev. Harry Parker. of Nampa, uncle
OF the bride, officiating.
a delicious luncheon, prepared by
the domestic science girls of the high
school, was charmingly served by
three of the class, Misses Luella Lands
borough, Vivian Merrifeld and joy
Noble.
This wedding is the consummation
OF a romance begun in childhood. which
speaks deeply of the steadfastness of
the two hearts now united.
Mr.. and Mrs Mcmahon have grown
up in this community. and are held
IN high esteem by all who know them.
The bride is a graduate of the Lewis
ton Normal, State of Idaho. and is al
SO an accomplished musician. The
groom, a son of Mr.. and Mrs. 7. /.
Mcmahon. of Richfield. is leaving
promising business career to enter the
service of his country. We know that
the entire community joins with the
Journal IL extending congratulations
and best wishes. and in hoping that.
after the war clouds have rolled away,
they may live happily ever after"

PLAINTIFF SECURES VERDICT

This morning the jury in the Hugh
T. Maynard case brought in verdict
awarding the plaintiff 5000 damages.
The costs amounted to some 300 more.
This is one Of seventeen cases
brought to Lincoln county on change
Of venue from Blaine county involving
damages totaling a half million dollars
or more.
The cases arise from the result Of
snow slide at the North Star mine.
near HALEY, year ago last February
in which 20 men were killed and sew
eral more wounded. The men were en-
ployed by the mining company and AT
the time the slide occurred about three
o'clock in the morning. were in the
company bunk house The bunk house
being destroyed by the slide. The
claims for damages are based on the
contention that the bunk house was
located in the well known pathway OF
snow slides, that men had been killed
on the same spot by previous slides.
that the company failed to use due
precaution in locating it's bunkhouse at
that spot, in that it did not inquire of
those in a position to know. as 10 the
danger from snow slides at that par
ticular spot.
The defense is based on the counter
contention that snow slide is an ACT
of God for which individuals are in nc
way responsible. That the fact of
snow slides having previously passed
over the bunk house site was denied
by defendants but even IL true "
fact was as well known to the plaintiffs
as to the defendant and was therefore
assumed by the plaintiffs as necessary
risks.
The Federal Mining and Smelling
owners of the mine; E Per
cy Smith, general manager. and Thos. /
Jay, foreman. are made defendants
and the case of Hugh T. Maynard has
Deen dSTeeu upon Dy lAr GtLyAiAreS dS
a test case.
The Importance of the case is indi-
Gated by the array of legal talent en-
gagged. E. J. Frawley. Ira J. Barber, L. /
". Tenneson, Sullivan & Sullivan aad I
F. T. Disney. represented the plaintiff. |
Hawley & Hawley. Judge Marshall Of /
Salt Lake City. and Harlan D. Heist
the defense.
The entire contention in these cases
rests upon whether snow slide at that
particular place is an act of God. or
whether the company by exercising due
precaution might have avoided the
iamage by locating it's bunk house at
| different point on its property.
1t is understood that action in all
,ther cases will be suspended until the
present verdict has been passed upon
