or to be destroyed again by flood,
or was never to be flooded again, Or
the inlIabit ants of the earth would
never again be simultaneously
drowned so long as the rainbow
didn't fade, or something of the kind.

But when the water prophet made
that broad assertion the little IDAHo
WORLD wasn't born, and he wasn't
prophet enough to know that it

raging waters of Elk creek. The
Hood was two feet above the floor.

they could, went to work, and by
3 o'clock r. NJ. Tuesdays WORLD was
run off, The typos then waded to
shore. The town was aroused at -
o'clock that night by dull, heavy
sound. 1t was produced by the
tumbling in of the south end
OF the brick building of the World
Office. Next morning the water was
rushing through the building. Gum
boots were donned, and the work of
packing out was begun bright and
early. Everything was carried out
that day, and On Wednesday was
moved into Silsby's brick, one door
above the postoffice, where the WoR1p

of street fight earlier, Mart Gardner

wound in the back of his head. His as
ssilant.was Thomas Holbrook, railroad
man. During the evening Gardner, in
company with Henry Horton, both being
drunk, encountered Holbrook on the
State-street bridge where, after sope
words, Gardner struck Holbrook in the
face with his clenched fist knocking him
down. Both Gardner and Horton then
went to Reagan's saloon whittier they
were followed by Holbrook. They had
been there some time when Horton step.
ped outside. AS he did SO, he noticed
Holbrook and another man go in, and,
when some 40 feet way, he heard noise
like a pistol.shot. fastening back he
met Holbrook and the stranger running
away and entering the saloon found
Gardner stretched upon the floor with
blood streaming down his face from a
wound in his forehead. Holbrook was
arrested, waived examination and his case
was continued a week to await the result
of the injuries. 1t was not at first thought
possible for Gardner to live, but there is
some hope of it now.
