tween twelve and fifteen miles up the

was drawn into an eddy and disap-

through breakers and whirling about
in eddles, when he came face to face
with one of those roaring rapids and
treacherous eddies, that are so numer-
GUS and so dreadful in the Colorado
river.
There was no time TO lose. Another
chance between life and death, and
that chance perhaps the only Que in a
thousand. The resolution was formed
one moment and executed the next.
The skitf was in the midst of the "a
pids, standing on end another breaker
and over it went. This was an indie
scribabe moment to Coleman, whose
sole reliance had deserted him, as he
felt prisoner in the hands of death,
and although he had scarcely known
his strength before here was desperate
opportunity for its test, and he says
that he felt that he was a mere straw
at the mercy of the wave one second,
and an eddy the next.
Here was waged fierce and pro-

Away Go the Horses.

No more saddle-nags for the young
gentlemen to exercise free--they are
all going south, where the snow don't
fall. Riding and driving hereafter
will mean cash down, and plenty of
it. Horses will be horses and grain
will be coin. Mr.. Baniield is round
ing up for the last time, to-day, and
takes every horse to Camas prairie
that has not permanent employment
sufficient to pay profit on his care
and feed. The drove will go out to-
morrow and not stop until it is 20
miles south OF here. The old water
cart horses and few engaged in job
bing will remain to winter on the
river.

FLOUR! FLOUR! FLOURM!
1t Has Come From All Directions, and
There is no Possibility OF ANY Famine.

The recent famine in flour and con-
sequent alarm expressed, during the
first heavy snowstorm, as to the arrival
OF sufficient quantity of that staple
to tide over the winter, was known at
various points on the railroad and
had the effect Of inducing many
freighte IS to load flour for Wood
River. As usual, there was general
movement in this direction, and SO
many teams left loaded that when all
reach the river there will be a much
larger stock than can be consumed,
and the price of flour Is already weak
ening and will remain low until spring.
Seven four-horse teams came in to-
day, owned by Toponce,a loaded at
Corinne, Utah, having been only Is
days out, and bringing nearly 1000
pounds each, or some $4,000 pounds.
The market IS already pretty we'll
stocked.

FROM THE RANGE.
Sheriff Gray's Report on the State Of
Affairs at and Near Vienna.

Sheriff Howard Gray returned last
night from business trip to Vienna,
where he remained several days. He
reports the season as well advanced in
that country. Everyone who was not
compelled to remain has migrated,
and the bears have all holed up.
Matters are therefore quiet. and will
SO continue until spring. The heavy
freight teams owned by Bramble &
Dickinson, which went up loaded
with freight for the mill, will return
Immediately, and load with ore and
bullion for the railroad. F'reighting
to that section is now practically sus-
pended, except on sleds, and the snow
is falling and flying in all directions.
The machinery arrived safely at the
mill in Vienna, night before last, and
will be Immediately set in place for
operation, with the exception Of the
ore-crusher, which was the heaviest
piece loaded. The wagon contain
ing the crusher upset about four miles
below town and spilled the crusher on
the grade. A force Of men will, how
ever, be sent down to load it again.
The Niennese w II he made happy. this
winter, by the rattle Of the stamps
and the consequent distribution of
money among the employees. Out of
% saloons in the town during the
summer, most have neglected to re-
new their licenses.
There has been quite an exodus
from the Sawtooth country, and no
surplus population is left. Fully half
OF the people have sought a milder
climate, but will return in the spring,
when the geese fly north, and as at
least two mills will be running next
winter, and several first-class mines
will be opened and worked, the peo-
pie will be likely to stay over the
snowy season.

Gone Home.

Jack Pembroke, compositor who
has been employed on the TINES
since early this summer, left this
morning on the Blackfoot stage for
New Orleans, Louisiana, near which
place his parents own sugar plan
tation. Mr.. Pembroke has roughed
it for over six years now, during which
time he has visited almost every part
of the world, and has finally yielded
to his mothers urgent appeals to re-
turn home and settle down. 1t is not
likely that he will settle down to any
considerable extent, however. When
a typo once gets started, he does not
settle down much until the sod covers
him.

An interesting account of the
affectionate attentions of hen for a
brood of kittens is given in the Scots
man. In two adjoining nests, in a
loft, in Tayinloan Inn, kintyre, were
five kittens and setting hen. A day
or two after the kittens were born the
hen removed from the nest in which
she was and took possession Of them,
but the cat removed the kittens from
the loft to small enclosure in an
other house. The hen soon found out
the place to which her adopted family
had been carried and took to nursing
them as before. On this an under
standing was come to between the
real and the foster mother. The hen
allowed the cat ~ come at intervals
and nurse them. The hen has never
left the kittens, but devotes to them
her whole time, and has always trusted
to food being brought to her. She
takes them under her wings, clucks to
them, and works about them with her
bill, and now, when they are begin
ming to move about, she permits them
to climb on her and amuse themselves
as kittens will. On the other hand
the kittens return to the hen with the
great st fondness and seem to regard
their real mother as nothing more than
creature to supply them with food.

on Wood River during the past sea-
son, is about to return home to Ogden.

at the result of this years operations,
but believes that they will not be a

deavor to 50 arrange his business in

turn here early in the spring and stay

An CnaccOmmOdNting Driver.

Hugh G. Wallace, Secretary Of the
|. & @. Land Improvement Company,
who accompanied the Strahorn party
to Jones's, on Camas Prairie, returned
to-day. The party left here Monday,
going over the new road, and stopped
at Peck's over night, sitting up to
await the arrival OF the Boise stage.
The stage came along as usual, but
the driver refused to take the party
aboard, giving as a reason that his
stage was full, and that Peck's was
not the place from which the party
were booked. The driver was right
as to the station at which the party
were to get on, as they were booked
from Jones's, but he stated falsehood
when he said that the stage was full,
as Governor Neil was the only pas
senger aboard. The driver put the
party to great deal of inconven :
enee by his refusal to transport them,
as their appointments were made
ahead clear to the end Of their tip
on Puget Sound, and these viii have
to be made all over. The party vert
Oh to Jones's yesterday. and probably
left on the stage that reached there
this morning.
