WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. - The

vides that no man shall be eligible
to the presidency who has taken part

Strikers Fail
to Answer Call

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept. T.
Districts one, seven and nine of the
United Mine Workers of America
failed to respond in a whole hearted
manner today to the call of union
leaders to break the insurgent strike
and go back to the mines. About
100000 mine workers remained in
idleness and production was only
about 80 per cent normal.
District seven and nine followed
the insurgents lead and kept their
lines intact. Here and there col
liery was able to get started, but as
q general proposition the strike in
these districts remained unbroken.
In district one the situation was
brighter for the union leaders. Sew
eral big collieries operated with a
man force that was almost normal.
In the Wyoming valley, the Lehigh
valley company was working about
80 per cent normal and the Lehigh
and Wilkes Barre started three col
lieries that have been idle since Sep
tember 1. o.,

attempt to lynch him and had given

Deputy Ezell was sent to the scene
of action and failing to discover any
signs of violence on the part of the
modern ''Klu Klux Clan" who were
said to be seeking the life of Schaf-

An examination of the young boys

the father is in the habit of using
extremely harsh measures in correct

IN ELOPEMENT
Youthful Dreams End
Abruptly When Par

Roseate dreams of youth in which
romance plays the leading role were
somewhat 5lighted in the lives of
George Gray and Miss Jennie Mont
gomery, both of Menan, when they
appeared in the county clerks office
at Blackfoot yesterday seeking a
marriage license.
It all happened because the girl
who is of tender years was unable
to persuade her parents that mar
riage at this time was the one thing
necessary to make her life's happi-
ness supreme.
An elopement was planned and the
young couple left the quiet seclusion
of their country estates and Jour
neyed to Blackfoot where the culmi-
nation Of the old, old story was to
take place.
Just as the curtain was about to
ring down on act one Of this beauti-
full scene, enter the william" in the
form of Deputy Sheriff DAILY, who
had received word from the sheriff
at Rigby to take the couple into Gus
tody, should they appear here seek

the office of the county clerk that
THE deputy cheated cupid and with
the restraining hand of the law cast
aside the youthful dreams and pre-
vented the issuance of the license.
The parents Of the girl were i'm
notified and came to
Blackfoot last night, taking the
young lady back to the shelter of
the parental roof where old Father

FEEDERS BANQUET
First Annual Conclave
to Study Successful
Feeding

Over $50 livestock men, farmers
bankers and packing house represen.
tatives met at an informal banquet
Saturday night at the X. of P. hall
for the purpose of discussing ways
and means Of meeting present con-
ditions in the livestock business and
to bring about a closer relationship
between the livestock man and those
with whom he transacts business
Feeding of stock, the proper care OF
stock, the relation Of. the banker to
the stockman and the selection OF
animals were thoroly discussed by q
number of those present.
1t was probably the largest gather
ing Of livestock men ever assembled
for like purpose in this county and
the benefits derived by those present
Is incalcuable. Many expressions of
delight at being present were heard
as the meeting dispersed at late
hour.
w. F. Bergman acted as toast
master In very able manner.
e. M. Kennedy was the first
speaker of the evening and spoke on,
How Bank Feels Towards Financ-
ing the Feeding Industry" "The
method which we expect to pursue"
said Mr.. Kennedy, "is to only furn-
ish money to feeders who grow their
own feed to finish the stock which
we furnish money to buy. We do
not encourage speculation, that is,
the feeding Of sheep one year and
cattle the next. We have tried to
encourage the man who prepares
feed lot for a certain kind of live
stock and then keeps at It," Mr..
Kennedy also spoke on the value of
fertilizer resulting from the feeding
Of stock and stated that the farmer
should devote his time to his farm

Young Lady
Fire Fighters
Save q Home

To Miss Flora Simons, daughter
of Fire Chief Fred Simons, and Miss
Frances Merchant, who Is staying al
the G. F.. Hansbrough home, is due
the credit for thwarting the IRE de-
mon that almost claimed the home OF
Mrs. Rowen, on South University
avenue Monday afternoon.
The two girls had gone to Mrs.
Rowen's home to return some bor-
rowed article when on opening the
kitchen door they were met by a
puff Of thick smoke. Instead Of run
ming away to give an alarm they en-
tered and saw Immediately the cause
of the trouble. It was an electric
iron left with the current on to hang
against q wooden wall. 1t was red
hot and had burned q big hole.
Rapidly the girls removed the iron
with wet towel and quenched the
flames that were beginning to lick
up the boards toward the ceiling.
They received some slight burns
while putting the fire out, but soon
had everything safe.
Mrs. Rowen and family had gone
out for the afternoon. Chief Simons
declared that only the quick action
OF the girls saved the house, which Is
frame-built, and that with a start
Of the department Of only a few min
utes the blaze would certainly have
got beyond all control.

Buffalo Hunt and Wild

Are Gone

Indian Agent Ashmeyer has just
made sale of 5000 Indian ponies
that are to be shipped to poultry
house in California to pe used for
chicken feed. Shipment Of the first
thousand Of these ponies will be
made from Pocatello about Friday
Of this week. The plan calls for
them to be rounded up on Fort Hall
bottoms ready to be moved on Thurs
day and the supposition is that they
will be assembled in the Focatello
stockyards ready for loading on FRI
day morning. The second thousand
will be shipped about September 25
and the third shipment about the
tenth Of October Each shipment
will make a train load and they will
be forwarded by way of Ogden and
the Lucine cutoff across Salt Lake
to California. The horses were
bought at very low price, not much
more than enough to pay the cost of
rounding them up and delivering
them to the stock yards. Our sup
position is that the money received
for them would 60 into the account
of the tribal herds of the reservation
and that the horses will be used by
the Petaluma Poultry farm north Of
San Francisco, but we are not sure
Of this yet. These horses are swarm

George R. Marsh Dead.

In the city of Alexandria La, at 5:2s
a. m. August 22, 1920, George R.
Marsh, aged n years and one month,
departed this life, and was buried at
1890 a. m. Monday in the Olivet Gene
terry, Pineville.
Geo. r. Marsh and his brother VIM.
z. Marsh were practical machinists and
foundry men, and they installed the
Calhoun sugar house about one mile
east of Colfax. This sugar house was
one of the largest and most expensive
in the State, and was situated at what
is regarded as the most northern limit
of the Louisiana sugar region.
Some misunderstanding arose as to
the price the Calhouns were to pay
them for the machinery in the sugar
house. and they seized and sold it un-
der legal process. A. A Goodwin as
sisted them in dismantling the sugar
house and bought good portion of the
machinery, and it was taken to Alex
andria by them.
The kettles and evaporating pans
were loaded with nuts, bolts, rods, pipe
ing, ETC., and this mass of iron and
steel was foated to Alexandria as a
raft. The kettles and pans were load
ed to within IL or Is inches of the
sinking point, and the raft was tied
and warped together in secure man.

This incident occurred, in the days
before railroads, and Red river had
four or five fine daily steamboat
packets running with regularity. The
iron raft floating in Red river raised a
storm of protest among the river men,
and for while there was good deal
OF talk about passing State law for
bidding anybody floating iron RATS in
the river.
Geo. r Marsh was a Confederate
veteran and took part with the whites
in the Colfax riot in, their fight for
white supremacy.
