BOAT OVERTURNS
in REDDISH LAKE
Governor and Deputy
Game Warden Save
Life Of Otto Jones

How Governor D. w. Davis of
Idaho, stripped to his undergar-
ments and j. N. Apgar, deputy game
warden Of Stanley basin, saved Otto
M. Jones, Idaho state game warden,
from drowning in Red Fish lake is
graphically described in mail story
from Stanley, mountain village
200 miles from Boise.
The near-tragedy occurred Saturday
July %, after the governor and his
two sons had driven to the game
warden's camp to inspect fish plant
ing operations at the lake.
Shortly after the arrival of the
governor at the camp a truckload Of
fish arrived to be planted in the
waters tributary to the lake. Gov
ernor Davis and his sons started
with Jones and Apgar in a small
motor boat, to take the fish to the
head of the lake. After the party
had travelled about two miles toward
an inlet a storm swept the water.
Considering the boat unsafe with the
load it was carrying, the party put
to shore. The governor and his sons
remained there while the game
warden and his deputy swung out
into the lake again. Before the
motor could begin functioning suf-
f1ciently to head into the waves, the
boat was swamped about fifty yards
from shore.
AS the boat settled Jones took to
the water, starting to swim ashore
while his deputy clung to the up
turned craft. Jones, who is only a
fair swimmer, found it impossible to
make much headway as his heavy
boots dragged him down. He re-
turned to the boat with the assist
ance of his deputy, but the boat,
filled with water, would not hold
them both. Apgar, a strong swim
mer, started for shore. The boat
continued to settle, leaving Jones
head barely above water. A huge
swell form the lake carried him of,
Just as Apgar, who had reached
shore exhausted, and the governor
wrenched loose drifted tree near
shore and started 1t towards the
drowning man, shouting for him to
seize it. It went ten feet out Of line
to reach Jones, who had gone down
the second time after. q warning cry:
Boys, I'm all I'M" waving them
goodbye. The governor shouting
"For Gods sake, stay up!' threw his
weight against the submerged log
and was gratif1ed to feel Jones tug
at it some distance under the sur
face. Fearing lest he should be too
weak to hold on, Governor Davis and
Apgar proceeded slowly toward
shore, giving encouragement to
Jones as each padded with one hand
and towed the log with the other.

WORK IN PROGRESS

At the meeting OF the fair board
last Friday n. A. Benson reported
that his successor 2. J. Fjeldsted was
duly installed In the work and was
able to handle 1t from now on. Mr..
Fjeldsted reported on the nego-
tiations for concessions and at
fractions regarding the plac-
ing of any kind of attrac-
tions or concessions on the out
side of the fair grounds this year.
The board directed that all must be
within the grounds where they will
centralize the fun both for the day
and the evening and be under the
control Of the board SO they could
bar anything they did not approve
of it if anything doubtful appears.
They will sell concessions for wein-
les, hot-dogs and other refreshments
to be sold and served on the ground,
but none on the streets. The hotels
and restaurants will be expected to
take care Of all the dem6nd down
town and If they can do it they will
be protected in the undertaking.
F. e. Seeger, chairman of the
grounds committee reported upon
the condition of the grounds and
said the seeding of the infield will be
done in q few days. They have just
watered it. and are spring-toothing
ready for the sowing. The new
fence posts are about all set, and the
fencing will soon be done. 1t was
necessary to build forms for the con-
crete around the posts In the western
part of the line because it was low
along the ditch bank. That work
makes it rather slow at the finish.

EDITOR MISTAKEN
FOR OLD PIONEER
Guest of Honor Arrives
After Introduction
Is Made M

They tell a joke about Editor
Trego and Ezra Meeker when they
went out to the celebration at old
Fort Hall last week. Meeker is In
his ninety-second year and Trego is
fifty-three. The papers had pub
lished statements that Mr.. Meeker
looks young for his age and is cheer
full and active. He was to be the
principal speaker at the anniversary
celebration and when Editor Trego
arrived on the ground dozen cars
were lined up on what was once the
front breastwork Of the fort, walt
ing for the crowd to arrive.
Mr.. Trego got out and looked
along the line of cars and young
lady friend seated in the nearest one
called out to him, "How do you do
Mr.. Meeker!" Trego responded and
with hat in hand approached her car
and shook hands with the party, re-
marking on their good looks. Then
glancing at the next car he was
greeted by a lady he did not know
and she extended her hand in his
direction saying, How do you do
Mr.. Meeker!" Again he responded
and as he shook hands with her and
her party he said $50 glad to be
called Mister Meeker. They gem
orally call me Ezra and he went on
down the line of cars shaking hands
and exchanging compliments with
the passengers. Then drawing maps
and booklets from his pockets he be-
gan showing them about the old
roads and trails and where walls and
trenches and turrets Of the old fort
had been, the gates, the well and
other things.
Presently string of cars came
across the meadows from the direc-
tion of Pocatello and when the lead
car arrived with s. E. Brady, J. N.
lIreland and wife and the real Mr..
Meeker there was another exchange
of greetings. when Mg. Meeker was
getting out of the car Mr.. Trego took
hold Of his arm to steady. him, and
the old gentleman with long flowing
hair and beard drew back in mock
anger saying, "Let go Of me-" Trego
apologized saying, ooh certainly; It
Is an awful insult to us kids to be Of
fered help when we want to run a
foot race"

MUCH ENTHUSIASM
SHOWN AT MEETING ri [
Establishment Of Co.
operative Creamery
is Discussed

A dairy meeting was held at the
Isis theatre Wednesday evening fOl
the purpose Of discussing the posi-
bility of having cooperative
creamery established here. About
forty men interested in this work
thruout this section were present.
Mr.. Johnson Of the bureau OF AMI
NAL industry Of the U. s. department
of agriculture was present and ad-
dressed the meeting after taking q
survey Of this locality.
The first step Mr.. Johnson stated
was to ascertain the number and
kind of dairy stock that would sup,
ply this creamery. In this. way II
would be possible to determine
whether or not there was a sufficient
number to successfully operate. He
stated that 500 cows would be the
minimum for work OF this kind.
There was great deal Of enthus-
iasm shown, and the meeting took
up the discussion of getting more
and better dairy stock in this COM
munity. There will be dairy con-
test, held during the fair, Of grade
dairy stock. This contest will be
based on the yield of butter fat.
The farmers are very much in
terested in this project because OF
having so much hay on hand and nc
suitable market. They seem to feel
it is better to feed the hay on their
farm than to sell 1t at a very low
price.
The raising Of swine goes hand in
hand with dairying because the
swine furnish an opportunity for the
use of the skinned milk while the
cream and butter fat are sold to the
creamery.
Work is being carried on now to
determine the number of dairymen
and other producers that would aid
in the support of such an enterprise
If sufficient number will aid this
undertaking it is very probable that
Blackfoot will have cooperative
creamery which will be an outlet fol
all the dairy products in this section

POCATELLO AUDIT
ING ITS ACCOUNTS
Claim is Registered
Against Former Clerk
and Treasurer

According to the salt Lake
Tribune of July 20, the city of Po-
catello has claim against Patrick
J. Phelan, former city clerk and
treasurer, for the sum Of $4294.51
and that a portion of the transac-
tions making up this amount are
clearly criminal in nature" was the
statement made in the report of G. B.
Moon Of the Bryon Defenbach & Sons
company, auditors, covering a COM
plete audit of the city books from
May 1, 1919 to May s, 1921, sub
mited tothe council in executive ses-
sion last night. Mr.. Phelan was
Democratic candidate for mayor In
the last election.
Mayor Bulge was instructed by
the council to call upon the surety
company bonding Mr.. Phelan to
make. good the sum alleged due the
city. The former clerk is alleged to
have issued an Illegal warrant for
$2391.46, which the audit states was
drawn during the last few hours of
his office tenure on May 5, 1921,
and the money deposited to the gem
eral account of the city at the First
National bank.
1T bears the same claim and war
rant numbers as that of a small gen.
eral warrant drawn to 3. s. Young
on April %, 1921, for $6.25. No
duplicate Of the illegal. warrant can
be found in the duplicate warrant
file and no record OF its issuance ap-
pears on the city books" the audit
report declares.
Other items in the alleged short
age include accrued interest on the
warrant on account Of back dating
to March /, 1920, $197.62; interest
on Liberty bonds owned by the city,
$1354.62; interest on daily bank de-
posits, $358.16; less $7.35 COM
posed Of errors on the clerks cash
book of duplicate and vetoed remit
tances. Mr.. Phelan's liability is COW
cred by two surety bonds held by the
Fidelity & Deposit company Of
Maryland of which Bruce and Fuld
of Boise are Idaho agents.
1.-THE cause of the whole trouble
was the system they had Of cashing
claims" the former clerk told a Po-
catello newspaper man. He denied
fraudulent intent. He said 1t had
been customary to cash some $15,-
900 to $4,000 worth of claims be-
fore they were allowed by the coun-
Gil.
When the issuance OF the alleged
Illegal warrant was first discovered
it was brought to the attention of Mr..
Phelan, who admitted its issuance,
but said 1t was for the purpose OF
balancing his books. Word received
from the firm Of Bruce & Fuld OF
Boise, agents for Mr.. Phelan's bond
ing company, acknowledged receipt
of the auditors report. stating that
a complete investigation OF the mat
ter was being made. The council
has taken no action on the matter
except to call upon the surety COM
pany to make good the amount Of the
alleged shortage. ....s.
