Dog Spoiled A Shot.

c. NJ. Park, who with Casper

Larson, is building Owen Dix's new
ranch house near Sweet, was home to
spend Sunday. He told story that
would bring tears to the eyes of cast
iron monkey, of how Mr.. Dix's hound
ruined a dinner of venison. A big
buck was seen in the alfafa field and
Owen got out his trusty gun. Telling
his wife to hold the hound, he rested
the gun on the fence, took good aim
and was just ready to pull the trigger,
when the hound got loose and struck
out for the deer. The dog selected
that part of the fence to jump over
where Owen was, and the hunter,
dog and gun had a. rear end collision,
and when Owen came to, the deer was
making streak for the tall timber.
Dern the bad luck.

LAST CALL
''Tom Catalan, Emmett's First
Postmaster, Passes Away
at Boise Home.

The death of another of Idaho S
pioneers, Thomas Catalan of BOISE
brings to the minds of many of Gem
county's early settlers the association
of real pioneer days-the days of
1864-the mutual hardships and the
mutual pleasures of such associations.
Mr.. Catalan located on a home
stead down the Payette valley, not far
from what is now Letha, when mail
and supplies were packed in from the
Umatilla station. In the course of
time, Mr.. Catalan applied for the es-
tablishment of a postoffice. This was
granted and he was appointed post
master, the office being given the name
Emmett, for Mr.. Calahan's son. This
sons home is in Bruneau. As time
went on, settlement in this section
grew quite rapidly, and the postoffice
was moved to site nearer its present
location and the name Emmettsville
adopted, until incorporation took place
when the "ville" was dropped and it
became its present self. He was
friend of our Douglass Knox and
their families were companions and
school children together.
Mr.. Catalan became involved in
politics, held several public offices
and in the meantime took up the study
Of law, which he practiced until age
pressed its claim somewhat too strong
ly. During his years spent in the pro-
motion of Payette valley settlement he
endeared himself to his co-workers,
several of whom survive him in this
locality and his memory will be held
in high esteem by many Emmett fami
lies. His son, James Callahan, is a
of the bench

BROUGHT JOY TO
EMMETT
Bells and Whistles Announce Glad
Tidings-People Give Vent to
Exuberant Feelings.

The glad news that an armistice
had been signed was flashed over the
wires about 10 o'clock this morning,
The message was caught by Operator
Forbes at the depot and soon spread
over town.
Fearing that somehow a mistake
might have been made, as has occurred
before, The Index called up the Capt.
tol News office in Boise and received
verification that the report was abso-
lutely official-that actual fighting
would cease at 2 o'clock (by our time)
this afternoon.
Mayor Rose, with plenty of asst
tants, sent forth a call for a public
demonstration, and the response was
wonderful. At exactly 2 o'clock the
various whistles and bells of the town
were turned loose, and a procession
headed by Colonel Barnard and E. L.
Holverson was off. 1t is estimated
that between 60 and rs cars, flag
draped and honking out their joy,
circled round and round the four CEN
trail blocks, accompanied by the music
of the Emmett band, the beating of
drums, pals and tubs and the joyous.
shouts of pedestrians, intermingled
with occasional sobs. Business houses
were aflame with national colors and
Old Glory took on added significance,
because it had led the brave hosts
that had once more brought liberty,
to down. trodden and despoiled nations
in another hemisphere. 1t was an oc-
casion never to be forgotten by those
fortunate enough to participate. AS
more than one of the speakers put
it-the grandest occasion in our lives,
an occasion to make one proud to be
living-proud to feel that our own
boys have had so large a share in
this, the worlds most horrible catas-
trophe.
When the autos had ceased parad-
ing, the croud assembled at the COR
ner of Washington and Main streets
and listened to few short but enthu-
siastic speeches by Messrs. Huebener,
Rose, Joel Brown, J. w. Tyler and Ed
Hays.
