Indians on the war-Path.
From the Times-Review.

We may expect soon to hear of In
dian depredations in the vicinity of the
northern border of the State, and per-
haps within our own boundaries Yes
terday Mr.. II. 7. Redsull of this place,
who was intending to start with his
wife in few days for Silver City,
Idaho, received a telegram from his
son-in-law at that place, warning him
not to start, as the Indians had broken
out again and were ravaglng the country
between there and here. 1t Is more
than probable that there will be a
repetition of last years experience, and
and that the inhabitants of the outlying
districts IN Southern idaho and North
ern Nevada will have to abandon their
stock and crops and flee to the towns
for safety. The United States Govern
Dent, true to it's policy of placing troops
where they do the least good, has re-
moved the company Of soldiers that was
at Duck Valley to Camp Halleck, hence
the country between here and Silver
City is entirely without protection; and
before troops can get there, the redskins
can do great deal of damage and
escape. We presume by tomorrow
that we will receive further information
by telegraph.

The Cause OF that smoke.

Dolby John, who was hunting in
the Harmony range day before yester-
day, and as proof of his success in the
chase, brought fine deer to town, says
the smoke which was seen on the
summit of the mountain on Tuesday
evening arose from fire built by a
sheepherder, who drives his flock to
the very summit of the range, the pas
turage being better there than lower
down the mountain side.

The Elecfrlc Light.

On the evening Of July 18th, the Max
i'm electric light was put in operation
on the tower of the Grand Union Hotel,
Saratoga Springs, N. Y, with view
to test it's Illuminating powers. An
open parabolic reflector was used-no
lenses care was taken by Mr.
Maxim to set the points of the carbons
a little at enc side of each other, and to
adjust them to the exact focus Of the re-
Hector. When this was, fairly accom-
plished ths light was turned toward a
point in Rallston Spa, N. Y, y miles
distant, where, by previous arrange
ment several hundred people were as
sembled to witness the experiment. So
powerful was the light, so accurate the
focusing and alignment, that the desig-
mated place in Ballston was instantly
Illuminated, so that ordinary print
could be read, the time seen OH watches,
ETC., The night was clear, still and
dark. The experiment was made at 81
o'clock P. NJ. This is believed to be
the greatest distance at which illumin-
alton of equal degree has been accomp-
lished.-Scientifc American.

Wagon Robbed.

Con. Ryan arrived in town day or

bought new suit of clothes to wear to
church and other places when off duty.
Some tramp, it is supposed, went to his
wagon and stole the clothes, together
with a lot of papers OF considerable
value. When he discovered his loss he
informed some Indians of the fact and
promised to reward them if they could
find the stolen articles or the thief.
The Indians examined the footprints of
the thief and followed them up to where
he had concealed the stolen articles,
which they found and returned to the
owner

From the Boise Democrat
A certain DIR. ~ E., who rendered
himself somewhat notorious in this city
last spring by doubtful practices, and
who left rather suddenly and has since
been "practicing'' i'm Atlanta and Rocky
Bar, put in an appearance again on our
streets yesterday The evening mail
brought letter stating that he had left
Rocky Bar by the dim light of the moon
to escape the iDdignatioa of an irate
husband. The "boys'' here, thinking
this good opportunity to rid the town
of nuisance, went to the Overland
Hotel register at late hour last night
and wrote the name of said Rocky Bar
husband in conspicuous place, and at
the same time placed suspicioasly
short double baDBeled shotgun where
it could easily be noticed According
to previous arrangement, when the
DIR. (gA came in, a person stepped up
and inquired of the clerk who the shot
gun belonged to, and was told that it
was IS, who had just arrived and
was in the wash rooms. The DR.. (?)
stepped quickly to the register and
glanced over the names. and then dart
ed out at side door. Soon young
man came in and seht1ed the Dr's (?)
bill and got his clothes. The NJ. D. (?)
slipped around to the stage office, and
awoke the agent, who had gone to bed,
entered the back way, paid his fare to,

he had business down the valley and

THE HYMER TRIAL.
The Examination Of Witnesses moi yet

The Hymer trial continues to attract
a good many listeners to the court

were examined yesterday in behalf of
the State, and as the defense has but
few witnesses the testimony will proba-
bly, be all in to-day. One witness, for
whom the Sheriff was sent to Paradise
Valley, refused to obey the summons,
and if bench warrant is issued for his
arrest it will delay the trial day or
two, but, on the other hand, should
counsel conclude to proceed without
his evidence, the case may be submit

E OF PATENTS.
A Little Advice From Senator Hoar
TO Patentees.

Washington Special to the Boston Herald
Senator Hoar, in c~onyersing with
your correspondent, to-day, said that
be had been contemplating a commu-
nicatiOn to the press on the subject Of
the renewal of patents. There are
now about one hundred applications
pending for the extension of patents
which have expired after a seventeen
years term. These are referred to the
committees on patents, and the inven-
tors who have failed to receive the
benefit from their inventions which
they think they should have had come
here and spend money for the purpose
Of having their claims presented to
congress. 1t costs a good deal of
money to hire patent attorneys and
have hearings before the com
mittees. The patent committees are
made Of gentlemen representing dis
tricts where there are many patent
owners, and are naturally favorable to
the applicants. But experience shows
that no bill for the extension of any
seventeen year patent can pass through
congress. The feeling against the ex-
tension Of patents is.very strong. Bills
have passed one house or the other,
but they are always beaten in the end.
In several cases there has been oppO-
sition to the applications for extensions
while they were pending before the
committees, and the applicants sup
posed they would have no difficulty in
securing favorable action; but they
found out their mistake when the
bills were reported by the committees.
Mr.. Hoar said if he hada brother who
had a patent worth $4,000 he would
not advise him to spend $1,000 to get
it extended. The Senator wants in
yeutors and ~patentees to understand
how hopeless their chance is Of OBJ
tanning the extension of a patent, so
that they will not come here at large
expense seeking the impossible.
