QUE Ess::

Travelling by stage coach in Nevada is
enlivened frequently by incidents. For
example, Freid and Moody sat in the
same seat of a crowded coach on the
Bodie line. Moody surlily said that
Freid was taking more than fair share
Of the space, and when Freid replied
that he couldn't move any further, coolly
shot him. Il never take any nonsense.
he remarked, as Freid fell dead from the
seat. The driver got down and told the
murderer to get out. A defiant refusal
and flourish of the weapon were the
answer. The driver jumped up on the
wheel, seized Moody by the collar, drag
ged him through the window and threw
him to the ground so forcibly that hii
arm was broken. The passengers helped
the driver to tie him with rope, ane
he was slowed away with the trunks be
hind in the boot, along with the body o,
Freid after which the journey was con
tinued. Idaho Democrat

INTEREST ING 10 HUMAsTEADERs.

The much mooted question involved in
the granting of benefits intended by the
act of June Is, 1880, which refers especi-
ally to the right Of all persons who had
taken homestead prior to June Is,
1880, has at last been decided by the De
partment in that the homesteader can,
if he so desires make proof by the pay
ment of 81 % per acre in cash or by
Special Deposit Certificates at his option,
at the same rates less the amount OF fees
which had been paid at date of entry.
1t is also further decided that all home
steads taken prior to the date Of the
above act, whether settled upon now or
| not, abandoned as well as homesteads
actually resided upon, can now be paid
at 81 25 per acre less the fees paid at
date of entry as above stated. This de
cision virtually leaves the homesteader in
position to buy the homestead, even if be
has abandoned it, and no further settle
ment is required. Applying only to tn.
advantage of those whose claims were
taken prior to June. Is, 1880, the many
whose claims were taken subsequent neee
not expect or attempt to take advantag
of it, Great complaint has been occa
stoned by this recent decision, and it i
possible an attempt will be made to hav
the act repealed thereby depriving al
those who have neglected in having thei
homesteads paid for before of the benefit
intended by the act, and which repeal
possible can only be taken advantage {
by an immediate proof on all the home
steads possible.

REALLY A NEAT THIaG.

Samuel Neat, one of Boston's wealthy
young men, has oeen mulcted $4,000 in
a breach of promise suit and subjected
besides to the reading in the court of his
love letters, which were addressed like
this: my own and only precious little
sweetheart "My own dearly beloved
loved one," "My own beloved one," and
Sweet, precious darling" Mr.. Long
fellow was so affected by the fate OF this
gentleman that he at once composed the
following beautiful and intensely prcti.
cal verses, which should be pasted in the
hat of every young man in the country
In the twght's solemn cleaning
Stood maiden young and fair.
| Watching anxiously for some one
Who certainly not there.
Long she pesred into the darkness.
| While her mind was fraught with fears,
! And her heavy hanging eyeds
Showed the marks OF recent tears.
Oh, the woe that woman suffers;
| Oh, the hears-aches and the pangs;
| Only partially atoned for
By her bangles and her bangs.
raithless man, come to the maiden
| Who is waiting there for you,
Clasp her gently to your bosom
| Tel her sae is life to you.
Let her rest upon your kneecap,
! Sitting in the old arm chair
While the end OF your coat collar.
Tangles sently in her hair
Play it fine, mi"guided creature;
Tell the maiden on your knee
That to you q guardian angel
Will her love fexeyer be-
Then be sure to get your letters,
9 (on this point depends your fate).
For in case you shake the maiden
She may choose to litisate
Never let heart!ess jury
Sec those noselets where you say
That the girls your tootsey pootsey;
81 For it gives you dead away.
When you have those precious missiVes
Burn them, ere the sun has set,
Then steer clear OF guileess n,adens.
And you may be lappy yet.

The most influential republican paper
in this State was in the habit of stating,
prior to the election, that there would be
no election in the South, simply a count
ing in of the democratic candidates.
In view Of the republican gains in many
of these states, it would be now in order
for that journal to apologize or admit
that the democracy were somewhat iber-
al in counting in so many Of their op-
ponents. These unfounded statements
were made for political effect and many
good men were deceived thereby; but now
that their falsity has been proven, will
those same continue to believe the utter
ance of such paper.

P0eR LAMAR.

With all his guilt, we pity him still.
During the week this unfortunate man
has been tried, first, for robbing the q.
S. Mail, by feloniously taking letters, be-
longing to different parties, out of the
postofice, among which was check for
$343 O3 in favor of w. N. Smith, of
Waitsburg, and which it seems he was
about to convert into coin and appropri-
ate to his own use. He was found
guilty as charged in the indictment
charged with having robbed Mr.. Mccain
mon of about $S5 in coin and revolver.
The evidence in this, as in the previous
case bore hard against the accused, while
his defense was very lame. In the U.
S. Mail robbery he stated that he found
the letters, but it was too thin. In the
second trial he tried to make it appear
that he was drunk and knew not wha
he was doing, but it seems the Ju lge ane
Jury thought it was about time for hin
to learn right from wrong and he wa
again found guilty as charged in the in
dictment He has been also indicted fo
forgery, but that case perhaps will b
quashed. 1t is enough, heaven knows
for one so young, doomed to enter tn
penitentiary for at least ten long an
weary years. Peter Lamar, after all,

GAMBLING.
MILTON, Nov. 29th, 1880.


Editors Leader:
GENTLEMEN There is no time SO ad-
verse to the formation of an unbiased
opinion on any political topic as during
the excitement of lively campaign
This is true also of those questions which,
though not of a purely political complex
ion, are apt to come up as side issues in
the struggle for political preferment.
During the canvass preceding the June
election Mr.. J. G. Franklin, of Lena,
gentleman of more than ordinary ability
and undoubted integrity, broached the
subject of licensing gambling This was
in his speech at Heppner. I do not
know how the matter was regarded at
that end Of the county. But its an
nouncement here created quite diver
sion. The idea of licensing gambling
was too heinous to receive an impartial
consideration. Many good men were
/ terribly shocked at the proposition. Even
those who occasionally venture little
were severe in it's denunciation. The
personal and political opponents of Mr..
Franklin did not hesitate to make capital
out of it, though none of them can be
less addicted to the vice or more opposed
to it than he is. But Mr.. Franklin lost
votes on the issue. Now how does the
case stand} There is not to-day, in all
probability, a town or hamlet in all our
broad county. nor perhaps in the State
in VIII ch gambling is not carried on ir
, defiance of the law, and that frequently
} in the most open and barefaced manner
Of the many who stood aghast in holy
: horror at the bare idea of imposing I
2 license on this iniquity not one has in
r voked the power and majesty of t'ae Law
S to restrain its corrupting influence o.
i public morality. They have sat il
t silence under the shade of this giant an
: growing evil, raising neither hand No
n voice to impede its progress or stay it
e ravages' Nay, more, some of those wh
= viewed its license with alarm have give
IL it countenance and encouragement in til
e most unequiyocal manner. The evil

that those who discriminate betwe
