Proceedings of Late MeeLlng OF tnaI aug us'
Rodv. held at Boise City, in the Interest o.
sThe Dear People of Our Own Beloved Idaho
It is rumored that grand council
has been held in Boise City, lately, by
the Triumvirate, in which Bill
G.. Joe P. and. Milt <. took part
as the ardent lovers of the "dear peo-
.ple of our own beloved Idaho" The
meeting was held in the garnet OF a
sixteen story building, so that that
body could enjoy the profoundest Sc
scresy while transacting their import
ant business. la each story OF the
building was placed two sentnels,
each armed with carbine, sword and
six-shooter, and they were strictly or
dered to allow none but those VINO
were in passion of the passwords ana
countersigns to pass. None but the
warmest friends of the Triumvlrate
are in passion of such valuable lntor-
nation. Nevertheless, some OF the
proceedings of that august body have
come to light, which run something
like this:
Bill G.. was called to the Char,
which was cushioned with heavy
mat of greenbacks, had golden arms
and a silver back, which is intended
to make that position one that man
of wonderful ability on constitutional
law, quick perception of mind and
keen eye to detect would fill to the
very best of his abilities, that he may
hold it great many years. On COM
pleting the organization Milton K.
was appointed Committee on the IN
terests of the 'Dear People" and Joe
P. on Words with Double Meanings
and Phrases and Sentences without
Meanings. Bill G. was unanimously
elected Detective and Smelling Com
mittee, his quick perception OF mind,
keen eye, olfactory organ and oily
tongue being deemed sufficient to warn
the body Of any approaching danger.
The first business of any Importance
the latter named committee was called
on to ferret out was a little matter
that a machine in Idaho City was
calling the attention of 'the dear pee
pie" to and asking the Triumvlrate
for information. 1t was necessary
that the Detective and Smelling Com
mittee should go to work and find out
if tie machine" had any evidence III
it's possession. The committee com
pleted the task in a few months and
submitted it's report, of which the fol
loving is a copy.
-'To the Honorable, my dear master,
in accordance with the long-estab-
lished custom among heathens, | beg
leave to kiss the bottom of your bare
foot, while kneeling, and submit the
following report: | have followed
your instructions to the letter and
find, first; that "Demos" asked some
very impertinent questions; second,
that P. D. Rothwell answed them
without consulting this body; third,
that the "machine" has in It's posses
sion some information OF the Duck
valley surveys, which should have
been kept profound secret between.
the Surveyor and this Trinmvitate
What little that has already Teen
said is very damaging to one Of our
most substantial friends, and 1 recon-
mend that we keep quiet as long as
policy will allow.
Submitted in brotberly love, written
with pencil blacker than damnation,
and Oh g(u) ilt-edged paper.
