Broke His Arm. L. W. Peck, speri ii tendent at til* Riverside Canal Co., met with a pal u ful accident Thursday, that came near costing him his lite, but as it is he got off with a broken arm. Mr. Peck, with a number of men waa strengthening the dam near the head of the Riverside canal, when con veying rock form the shore to the dam, the scow got caught In the cur rent of the jiver and in his endeavor to get hold of the windlass with which the boat was held to the shore, he was struck by one of the spokes of the windlass and one of the bones of his right arm was fractured about halfway between the elbow and wrist. Noah Small received a blow just be low the left eye and Walter Co* was struck on one of his legs with a brok en piece of timber. The efforts of the men failed to stop the boat and it went over the dam, which is only of sufficient height to shear the water from the river Into the canal. The injured men came to town and Dr. Young was called in and made the Injured ones as comfortable as possible. Mr. Peck has been superin tendent of the Riverside canal for six years and has been in the employ of the company for 14 years and this is the first serious accident he has met with. Again has the cemetery question has been forced to the front by rea son of the cemetery hat has been un der discussion this week by reason of the Catholic church of this city wanting to purchase a block of ground to be dedicated to their own use.

(MM ' / Jeweler and Optician CALDWELL - IDAHO SCHOOL DISTRICT SOES THE CIHI The statutes of 1887 provides that one half of the tines and licenses shall be paid into the school treas ury. This law has practically been a dead lotter, as but few of the cities in state have ever complied with it. But recently the school district at Twin Falls sued the-'city of Twin Falls for one half of the fines and li censes. The case was taken to the supreme court, where it was held that the law was constitutional and that the city must pay the district. This is a serious matter. Take the city of Caldwell, It will require about $2.000 to square up with the school. Other cities are in much deeper. Nampa will doubtless find a bill of considerable more than that sum, as the saloons are much more numerous than in Caldwell. The Caldwell city council has had warning on the subject, but ignored the bill and the matter was dropped: but now the city will have to dig up. School Hoard Meets. On receipt of the above decision the school board met in special ses sion, After discussing the matter it was decided to appoint a committee consisting of H. A. Griffiths and P. E. Kngie, who were instructed to secure from the city clerk the amount due the scoot district and make a formal demand on the city council for the amount Judge Shorb says than in the fu ture all cases that come before him' will have trimmings assessed suf ficient to cover all costs.
