Owyhee bullion. [volume] (Silver City, I.T. [Idaho]) 1866-1867, 1867-11-07

A lettcr-writer says that during fierce
thunder storm near Mount Desert, the
lightning came down through the roof of
house and bed upon which lay hus-
band and wife, throwing them out Of bed,
thence into the cellar, out through the
drain, and ploughed up the ground to
the barn yard, where it killed COW. A
most extraordinary story.
Owyhee bullion. [volume] (Silver City, I.T. [Idaho]) 1866-1867, 1867-11-07

We are informed that some thirty tons of
hay in Jordan Valley vas burned few days
since Not by Indians, but occasioned by
the thoughtlessness Of carrying matches.
The gentleman who owned the hay, is in the
habit Of using pipe, and had some matches
in his vest pocket, and had laid the vest
down by the stacks Of hay. The matches
were ignited by his stepping on the vest as
he was leaving the stacks. The fire was not
discovered in time to save anything Besides
thirty tons Of hay, small house, one Hen
rvs rifle and the bedding of several men were
consumed. Thus, seasons labor was lost
in but moment and by the love for a pipe
ERRoR.-A few days since we received
note from Lieut.. Roberts, of 23d Infantry
requesting US to correct an error made in our
report of the killing of Sergeant Z. Denoille
of Company q. 23d Infantry, and capture Of
his wife by Indians. We were wrongly in
formed in regard to the conveyance the I'M
fortunate parties were travelling in, and stat
ed that it was a Government ambulance I;
Wherupon Lieut.. Roberts writes us that it
was not Gov. ambulance, but simply pri-
yate vehicle owned by Frank Drake of Baker
City Ogn. Not wishing to create wrong
impression on the part of our Government
Officials we beg leave TO apologize for in
serting "Gov. ambulance as they are very
strict in allowing furloughed soldiers to use
them.

Another Challenge and Match
Game,

The Junior B. B. G. of this city
have received and accepted a chal-
lcnge from the Junior Nine Of the
Capital B. B. G. Of Columbus, and
the match is to be played on the
old Ncmean grounds on Friday
next, at Z o'clock, A. NJ. This will
be an occasion of interest far ahead
of any thing we have yet had in
the base ball line. The Capitals,
it should bo borne in mind, are one
of the crack clubs of the State, and
it's Junior Nine is composed almost
entirely Of members of the recent
Crescent" Club, which has been
merged in the Capital Club. A victo-
ry over these wo'd be a brilliant ad-
dition to the laurels of our Juniors,
while a defeat would bring no dis.
credit, considering the mettlc and
the practised skill with which they
will have to contend. We under
stand that after tho conclusion Of
this match, the Juniors have deter
mined to play no more match
games until fall.
