SILVER. TO
CELEBRATE
IN
A Good Purse Has Been Raised
And An Excellent Pro
gram Arranged
At last Silver is to have a Labor Day
Celebration. First the little wheels
started to whirling, then the larger and
larger ones, and finally the whole business
started off with a rumble and bang; and
the result is that there will be a good old
time in Silver, September 4th.
Monday evening a petition was circu
lated among the business men, and in a
couple of hours over two hundred dollars
were raised. A program was arranged
and dodgers printed. This program is a
good one and evidences the fact that Sil
ver means what she says when she in -1
vites everyone to come here and have a I
good time. The prizes are all large and
worth striving for. The base ball game
and the races have exceptionally good
purses. In the evening a dance will be
given, tickets $1.50, and a lunch in the
banquet room above.
Silver has the finest dance hall in Idaho,
as all who have danced on it will testify.
The music is first class; and with a good
floor and good music the dancer will en
joy himself to the utmost from the first
strains of the first waltz to the last of
"Home, Sweet Home."
In the baseball game and two races
over one hundred seventy-doll ars are
hung up in prizes. The game, which is
to becalled at 3 p. m., will be of especial
interest. The races will lie exciting. In
the free for all the horse taking two out j
of three heats takes the money. The j
three prizes in tiffs event cover sixty-five
dollars. In the stake race forty dollars
go to first and second, twenty-five to first
and fifteen to second. No entrance fees
are required. The only condition is that
all horses he entered by 12 m. of Labor
Day.
The juvenile and womens' sports will
be held at 10:30 a. m. These events will
be interesting—the ladies nail driving
contest, especially.
So again you are ugred to spend Labor
Day, September 4th, in Silver City. A
good time is assured everyone.
IMPROVEMENTS AT THE
OWYHEE BREWERY
The new cellar of the Owyhee Brewing
company, which has been under con
struction for some time, is taking on an
aspect of a cellar. At first there were but
four walls about half destroyed ; now two
of the walls are completed and the other
two are growing fast.
It looks like there is something doing
here when the capacity of the brewing
plant is so taxed that a new cellar must
be built. This new collar will double
the capacity,
capacity the beer will be allowed to age a
little. This is not the case now, as the
beer is taken as fast as it is made. The
plant is working over-time and still the
demand cannot be supplied.
Fritz Schleifer, who is the president,
vice-president, secretary, manager, fore
in fact, the whole business—of the com
pany, has made many improvements
since he secured the brewery. He has
enlarged the main plant, built a bottling
house, installed a delivery outfit, and is
now enlarging the tank space by building
this new cellar. If Mr. Schleifer could
only get his product to the railroad towns
at a reasonable profit, a town other than
Milwaukee might be made famous by its
beer. His trade has spread as far as it
can at present and it is too bad it can not
spread farther. Fritz macht gut Bier,
gewiss!

which has been judged by competent
critics the best in the Northwest, and
above all a splendid faculty of seventeen
carefully chosen and well trained teach-,
ers, everyone a specialist in his work.
Itq course of study and the work offered
are on a par with the best Normal
Schools of the country. It has a splen
did training school, consisting of a kind
ergarten and the eight grades. The best
evidence of the efficiency of the school
is the success of the teachers which it
sends out the positions which they hold
in both grades and high schools. It has
one of the most complete and best
equipped manual training departments
in the west and offers a course in do
mestic science. Its music department
haB doubled in number of students in
the past two years. It offers special
courses in rural, primary grade, and
kindergarten teaching, and in manual
training, domestic science and music.

the student to a state certificate. By
careful management the expenses of the
student are reduced to minimum ; board,
room, light and heat in the steam heated
electric lighted residences, costing but
$16.00 per calendar month. School

TOLL OF THE
REAPER.
Death Takes Two In America
and One In Bray.

JOHN NOWLAND
At the Coroner's inquest over the body
of John Nowiand it was determined that
lie had met death by being shot by Jess
Lawson. Lawson was brought before
Probate Judge F. S, Heer and bound
over to appear before the District Court
at the next session and admitted to bail
of $5000.
The evident» brought out at both the
inquest and preliminary trial showed that
two very different stories were told. The
public are asked to suspend judgment
until the full facts are brought out at the
trial.
Jess Lawson will soon be out on bail as
he has many friends who will stand by
him in his trouble.
We have known him for several years
and he has always been of a peacable
nature and not a man to get into trouble.
That he should have committed the act
without sufficient provocation or justi
fiable grounds seems incredible to those
who were well acquainted with him.
John Nowiand, the man killed was
about 24 years of age and had been work
ing for parties living in that vicinity for
a short time and but very little was
known about him. He, apparently was
of an aggressive nature and had mixed
up in the quarrel in which he had no di
rect interest. The reports are that he
had made many threats and was abusing
the Lawson women in a vile manner,
when Jess stepped in to protect his
mother. The son who will not protect
his mother from abuse is unworthy.
Interment took place Friday afternoon
at Silver City.
FR.ANZ OTTO PETER.S
The body of Franz Otto Peters was bur
ied in the K. P. graveyard last Saturday.
Mr. Peters was a German but recently
arrived from the fatherland. He had
come to the mountains for his health,
having been a sufferer from tuberculosis.
His wife and small child accompanied
him and were camped near Mr. Branca's
place on the head of Sinker cseek. The
disease had obtained too strong a hold on
his system and the mountain climate
could not check it.
He was without funds but his brother
who lives in Nani pa and has a ranch on
the Murphy Irrigation tract is said to be
well off. He leaves a wife and small child, ■
mother and brother to mourn his loss.
His wife and child are to be sent back to
Europe to her people,
BENJAMIN HEAZLE
Great regret was felt in Bray when it
became known on Tuesday morning that
Mr. Benjamin Heazel, the urban rate col
lector, had been gathered to his fathers.
Mr. Heazle had been in indifferent health
for some time past, so that his death was
not altogether unexpected. The late
gentleman had held the post of rate col
lector for many years, and allways car
ried out his duties to the satisfation of the
Council and the inhabitants of the town.
The position is a good one financially, so
there is sure to be plenty of persons in
quest of it.
The above clipping is from the Bray
and4;outh Dublin Herald. The deceased
was the father of Jack, Jean, Ben and
George Heazle, Mrs. Violet Roda and
A
Miss Annie Heazle. He was a father-in
| law of Mrs. A. R. Sothern.
