w. F. BERGMAN ACQUITTED

In the trial of w. F. Bergman
at Boise last week, charged with the
embezzlement of $6966.30 from W.
B. Orion the jury returned a verdict
of not guilty.
The case was presented by Hamil-
ton Wright for the county, and was
defended by ]. H. Peterson, of Poca-
tello, and j. H. Andersen, of Black
foot, Judge o. R. Baum, of Bannock
county presiding.
The second case against Mr.. Berry
man, charging the theft of liberty
bond held for safe keeping for Eph
Johnson, of Sterling, was to have fol-
lowed the first one, but it was near
the end of the week when the first
one was finished, and each of the at
torneys and the judge had other en-
gagements in southeastern Idaho on
Monday of this week, so there was
not sufficient time left for the trial,
and it has been set for a date early
in April, probably the eighth.
The cost of having the witnesses
attend the trial at Boise is reported
to have been $78025. The cost of
having the Judge and prosecuting at
torney go to Boise would probably
be added to that, the cost of shipping
the books over and back, $48.52 and
some expense for transferring the
case to the docket of Ada county
would probably total about $1,000
plus the cost of the jury. When the
next case is tried, the expenses will
be repeated in the main.

MALAD WINS TOURNA-
MENT AT POCATELLO

Malad won the Southeastern Idaho
Tournament at Pocatello last Satur-
day by defeating Bancroft In a hard
fought and very close game, the
score being 26 to "a. Pocatello was
eliminated Saturday afternoon by
Bancroft with score of 80
to 20. Some believe that IL Ban
croft had not had to play Pocatello
Saturday they would have been able
to defeat Malad.
Blackfoot was eliminated by Ban
croft Friday afternoon by a score OF
~ to Is. In all of the games that
Blackfoot played at the tournament
they led the first part of the game,
but could not stand the strain and
gradually weakened. Bancr t
seemed to have the best material in
the tournament and since all of her
men wiz be back next year she will
be strong contender.
Rigby captured the championship
in the Idaho Falls district and Boise
In her district. In the Twin Falls
district tie was played on Monday
evening between Rupert and Burley
for the championship, Rupert win
ming, and in the northern part of the
state it is between Occur d'Alene
and Kellogg.

REPORT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH NURSING SERVICE

| During January and part of Feb
ruary inspections were conducted
alternately in Shelly and Blackfoot
Schools. Later, Groveland, Wapello,
Riverside and Moreland Schools were
inspected and the work completed in
all of them but Moreland. Blackfoot
schools were inspected from first to
sixth grades inclusive; Shelly, first
to eighth; while Groveland and Riv-
erside inspections included all grades
and High School pupils.
The number of pupils inspected in
the respective schools are Shelley,
4O4; Blackfoot, IA; Wapello, 1928;
Riverside, 1T; Groveland, ISL; and
Moreland, 148 making a total of
1857 pupils inspected.
Unusual interest was shown by
Groveland parents, teachers and
members of the school board, quite
number attending the inspections
of their own children. This interest
was greatly appreciated by the pub
lie health nurse.
Health talks were given by the
nurse at teachers conferences held
at Shelley and Aberdeen, at meet
ing Of Blackfoot Current Event club,
at a parent-teachers meeting at
Groveland and special talk for girls
in Wapello, besides the usual health
talks in the schools.
Most of the pupils, who entered
the nutrition classes in Blackfoot
made very substantial gains In
weight. We hope that this demon
will influence parents to see
that their children continue to take |
extra milk turnout the school year.
AS spring approaches and children
play harder at out-of-door games,
the extra nutrition is necessary to
keep weights up to standard.

RECOVER 100 BODIES
FROM CASTLEGATE NINE

The rescue workers at Mine No.
of the Utah Fuel company, at Castle
gate, have succeeded In recovering
the bodies of 100 of the 173 miners
who we're entombed last Saturda,
morning as result Of three terrific
explosions that blocked the mine
workings. The people of the little
mining town lost all hopes Tuesday
night of finding any of the trapped
workmen alive.
Rescue crews from all of the
mines in that section, as we'll as gov.
eminent crews and special relief cars
from the United Mine Workers OF
America, have been working inces-
sanity since the explosions first took
place, with the hope that they might
find some of them alive. The gasses
generated In the mine by the explo-
sions and small fire, which had to
be extinguished, retarded their work,
but most of the mine has been en-
tered. New fires that started in the
working last night and water which
has accumulated because of the
pumps being out of commission, have
temporarily stopped further progress
in the rescue of the forty-three re-
naming bodies.
On Monday morning Governor
Charles R. Mabey, of Utah, issued a
proclamation calling upon the people
of Utah to aid in supporting the ap-
proximately $50 widows and 500
children left without support. He
asked the banks of the state to re-
ceive donations and that the people
give in cash as much as possible.
Representatives of both national and
local Red Cross organizations, as
well as the Salvation Army and a
of church relief societies,
have been doing everything possible
in the way of caring for the be-
reaved families and everything, both
been conducted in a most orderly
The first of the bodies were buried
Wednesday afternoon in the COM
)any cemetery, above the working,
where they lost their lives. Forty
,ne of the bodies were shipped to |
Price for burial and many other |
places more distant, to receive the
asst honors of their friends. There |
ire about twenty World War vet
,rans among the dead and they will
eceive full military honors at their
,urials.

SAN FRANCISCO CHEESE
PLANT MOVES TO POCATELLO

Plans have been completed and
arrangements made for moving the
great ]. L. Kraft & Bros. cheese
manufacturing plant from San
Francisco to Pocatello.
Investigations have made in this
country during the past few months
as to the plausibility of moving this
plant and last week the deal was
definitely closed by c. H. Kraft, en-
gineer partner in the company; e.
Ridgway, treasurer and H: s. Brown,
manager of the San Francisco
factory. They have secured the
plant of the Idaho Packing COM
pany, situated north and west Of
Pocatello, and plans have been drawn
by Frank Paradise for the remodel
ing of it for the new plant.
This factory will be the distribut-
ing point for twelve states and will
handle the raw cheese from these
states. 1t will employ about sixty
men on the start and will mean an
unlimited market for dairy products
in this country. This factory is the
result of the keen interest shown by
the famers in this part of the state
since the first factories were estab
lished last fall.
Plans are also being made to es-
tablish a wholesale business in Poca-
tello for handling dairy supplies,
which will make it possible to get
anything in the dairy line without
sending east for it.
Cheese Payments Increase
On Monday morning, March 10,
checks amounting to $1,000 were
sent from the Blackfoot cheese
factory to the farmers contributing
to it as two weeks payment for
milk. Reports from Arco and |
Mackay show that the income for
those two districts for the month of
February amounted to approximately
$4,000. This shows great in
crease over the past months and
means that Idaho has great future
in this industry.

MASTERPICTURE COMING
TO THE RIALTO THEATRE

! "The Hunchback of Notre Dame,
coming to the Rialto Theatre on Sun
day, stands out as milestone in the
progress of moving picture enter
tainment.
One Of the pioneers of the industry
who happened to be in the city or
the opening night and who accepted
special invitation sent him by wire
from Mr.. Carl CLaemmle, producer
of the film, recalled the old days
when anything over one reel was
considered feature, and when lit
tie painted scenery was ample back
ground for the actors, few in num-
Der who cavorted thru more or less
conventional motions. The action or
business as 1t was called was large
ly developed as the work went on.
The present masterpiece "The
l"Hunchback Of Notre Dame" pre-
sents such contrast that 1t is hard
to believe the strides which this
form of entertainment had made in
the few intervening years. Whole
armies are seen from dizzy heights,
land 1t is hard to believe that the
scenes were not made at the ancient
cathedral of Notre Dame itself.
| Every student of history knows
the pooh making events that centre
around that famous building builded
on an island in the river at Paris,
France. Every soldier, who has
been to Paris has seen it's massive
! pile, and it will be hard to convince
anyone, who has been there, that 1t
| is not the original building which is
used In the film, and yet 1t is only
one of the massive "sets' built for
this wonder film.
And yet the enormfty Of the task
in producing this moving picture
production Is almost forgotten In
the development of the story and
the masterfully skillful acting OF
Lon Clancy and his supporting
cast, which includes Ernest Tor
renee, Patsy Ruth Miller, Norman
Kerry and a host of others we'll
known to devotees Of the screen.
/ The enormous success met with
In New York, where that company
is still playing, made necessary the
organization of the company, which
comes here and which will tour the
principal cities.
"The Hunchback of Notre Dame"
made from the famous story byI
Victor Hugo has again brought up
the value of visual education thru |
the films and shown how the most
wonderful acting, together with
most powerful dramatic action
can be blended with sincere fidelity
to historical fact.
In Hollywood, where this wonder
film was made and where thet
enormous sets were made the school
authorities we're quick to see the pos
sibilities of this replica of the facade
of the famous cathedral Of Notre
Dame at Paris, where so many his
torical events have taken place. and
Carl Laemmle, producer of the film
graciously set aside suitable hoursl
when teachers and their classesj
could visit this set and learn of its
beauty at first hand.
