AN AFFECTING SCENE IN COURT.
A Father Deprived Of the Custody Of
His Own Child.

A very affecting scene concluded
the proceedings of the Second Judi
cial District Court in Haley, Satur-
day afternoon, in the case of Ship VS..
Ship. Mr.. and Mrs. Shipp, it will be
remembered, became prominent sew
eral weeks since, by their contest for
the possession Of an oily child, an in
FAINT four months old. A divorce suit
was entered, and pending a decision
the father had the child spirited away
from its mother, and placed in the
care of his sister, who fed it on con-
densed milk. The mother is an in
dustrious, quiet woman, and since
their separation has earned a living
by taking in washing, although she
was too feeble and of too light
frame to endure hard labor success
fully. The father, who is OF very
respectable family, was earning liv-
ing at teaming. The array of women
in Court Saturday were relatives and
friends of Mr.. Ship, and although
every effort was made by them to es
tablish the fathers right to the child,
the Court decided, from the evidence
adduced, that the mother was its legal
and proper guardian, and amid such
emotion and general movement of
pocket handk erchiefs to the ewes the
Sheriff was ordered to take the in
FAINT from the father and deliver it in
to the arms Of the mother. The at
torneys and all present were visibly
affected, and the transfer was made
to the satisfaction of all spectators
and others present, excepting MIR.
Ship and his lady relatives and wit
nesses.

Death of q Bullion Miner.

Hermann Gustafson, a native of
Finland, died yesterday in Bullion, of
lung disease. He was employed in
the Jay Gould mine, and ovcrworked
himself, drinking freelev Of the mine
water. On the 9th he was taken sick
and had hemorrhagc Of the lungs,
but continued work until Frustrated.
He was attended by physician when
too late to save him, and died yester-
day morning. His oldest brother, who
had been working in the mines at
Sawtooth, recently received word from
his home in Finland to return imme-
diately and attend to the settlement
of an estate to which he was heir, and
on his way he went to Bullion where
he found his brother in diving con-
dition. He made arrangements for
the funeral services which took place
to-day at noon. The remains were
inferred in Haley cemetery. Gustaf-
son was 81 years Of age, and unmar-
ried.

A Nice Winter Job.

James Gillespie has taken the con-
tract to pack the mail between ketch
um and Sawtooth from the LIST of No
vember, 1882, to the LIST Of May, 1888.
The terms Of the contract are that MIR.
Gillespie will pack the mail daily be-
tween any stations intervening be-
tween ketchum and Sawtooth, with
out regard to the weather, trip from
one station to another to be consld-
cred days work. The pay is 800
per month. Mr.. Gillespie has what
people who did not care what they
said, might call really easy job; and
it will be especially delightful for him
to cross the Sawtooth range between
Galcna and Sawtooth during one OF
those binding storms in which even a
wolf gets lost, and which SO frequently
prevail in the range in the winter
time.

LAYING THE TRACK.
Change Of Programme on the Oregon
Short Line.

There has been a sn.4ll change in
the programme Of laying the track Of
the Oregon Short Line, says the Og-
den Pilot. Hereafter the company
will operate the track-laying instead
of the contractors doingit They ex-
pect to lay from one to two miles per
day, and it is said that even at that
rate they cannot catch up with the
graders this winter. They will give
the Wood River people an outlet very
soon. A gentleman who has just re-
turned from a tour of the district,
says that the railway will soon unite
Wood River with the railways Of the
West, and next year that country will
be filled with people and capital.

Wood River Highly Esteemed.

Milton Pinney, who returned from
a trip TO the Eastern cities a few days
ago, states that generally there is more
interest expressed there in Wood
River than in any other section of the
country, but this is more especially
the case in Chicago, where Wood
River is highly thought of, and con-
siderable capital may be secured for
investment here next year from prom
inenf men Of that city.

Ought to be Exterminated.

The opium den in Bellevue was the
place in which the grand larceny and
burglaries committed by Ralph john
sou and his confederates were planned,
and the opium den in which the shoot
ng of Wednesday night occurred
the place in which they concealed
themselves afterward. Such places
are VIGOROUSLY the resort Of the worst
class that nfest frontier towns, and
they should be exterminated by the
people.

Ninety Feet OF Snow.

"A gentleman who recently came
down from Galena states that 60 feet
of snow fell at that place last season.
The measurement was taken on a
board projecting from the roof of a
shed. The snow on the board was
brushed off every twelve hours. This
allowed the falling snow to settle at
least one-third before being brushed
off. 1t is therefore probable that the
total snowfall reached 80 feet.

THE DEFEATED CANDIDATES.
THEY THREATEN TO CONTEST THE
LEGALITY OF THE RETURNS.
Several Meetings Held. but no Plan Of
Action Agreed Upon What Mr.. Ain.
slie Evidently Hopes to Accomplish.


Action Agreed Upon-What Mr.. Ain.
slie Evidently Hopes to Accomplish.
The defeated candidates threaten
TO contest the election. They Go not
know, as yet, that they have any
grounds for a contest, but they do not
take kindly to the idea of being de-
feated. No plan of action is agreed
upon by them, Notwithstanding sever
al informal meetings, which were at
tended by most of the Democratic
candidates, have been held at the Of
fee of Messrs. Ganahl s. Vineyard, in
this city.
At one Of these meetings the whole
matter was thoroughly discussed. V.
S. Anderson and District Attorney
Hawley, being asked for their opinion,
are stated to have given the candi-
dates very little hope. The only way
in which the contestants could hope
to win, it was stated, was by having
the entire vote at Billingsley's thrown
out. But in order to do this, it would
be necessary to prove that majority
of the votes cast there were cast bv
men who were not entitled to vote.
The name OF every man who SO voted
would have to be ascertained, as well
as the ticket he voted, and whether it
was Republican or a Democratic
ticket. This, it was finally concluded,
would be impracticable.
Another way to attain the desired
end was said to be for the County Com
missioners, when they meet as a
Board of Canvassers, to refuse to
count the votes cast at Billingsley's.
But this was held to be impracticable,
as the Board of Canvassers have no
right to 90 back of the returns, and
must canvass the returns as made by
the Judges of Election and declare
the result. TO be sure, the Board
might refuse to count the returns
from Billingsley's; but this would be
fragrant violation Of law which
would not avail, as Judge Prickett
would probably be applied to at once
for mandamus requiring the Board
to do its duty. So this has also been
given up.
The discontinued candidates are
now awaiting the official count. /
the count to be made by the Board O
Canvassers in few days shows tina
any of the disconnected only lack Sc
or GO votes of being elected, sucl
candidates will probably examine the
poll-books, and endeavor to prove tina
at least that number of persons votet
who were not entitled to vote. II
they succeed in doing 50, they hope
thereby to secure the offices for which
they were nominated.
Mr.. Ainslie has been one of the
most assiduous attendants at these
meetings. What he hopes to accom-
plish by them is not very clear. Mr.
Singiser is expected to get majority
of about LOCO votes throughout the
Territory. Even if Mr.. Ainslie sue
ceeded in proving that everyone of the
600 or 700 votes at Billingsley's was
fraudulent, he would still lack severa
hundred votes of majority. Blu,
Mr.. Ainslie knows that the next House
of Representatives will be Democratic
and he probably hopes to be able to
make out a semblance of case witt
which he can go to the Election Com.
mittee and successfully contest Mr.
Singiser's seat.

Why Self-Made Men Are
Apt To Succeed.

Solf-made men are moro certain
than others OF success IN life for the
reason that so To speak, they arc
more thoroughly made that is to
say, with them the formation of
character is more solid because it is
the result of severe discipline of u
determined will, of settled pur,
pose. 1t is not tho nero aecumula.
tion Of the teachings oil others, to
which, too often, only a lazy and
drowsy attention has been given.
The self,made man starts at the bot
tom. l1e not only has tn learn hv
himself how TO ascend the steep and
rugged stairs before him, but he has
to rack his BRAIN how to construct
the stairs themselves by which he
shall ascend, Hence he under
stands more accurately than anoth-
er all the conditions of success. His
attentions become more fixed. His
thoughts are habitually concentra-
ted on whatever he undertakes.
His.iudgmcnt il matured by the nc
ccsslty imposed upon him for its
constant exercise. lie is wary and
watchiul, and robust IN all his be-
ing, as the gymnast by constant ox-
ercise exccls in the deyc)opcment Of
muscle. Hence it is that the com
munIty feel greater confidence in
selimade men. There is common
feeling that he who has succeeded
against great odds, who has made
his mark where those possessed Of
many advantages over him have
failed to make theirs must possess
in himself remarkable elements of
success And the community IS
right. The self made men are on
the whole tho safest to be in:rusted
with great undertakings. The stuff
OF which they are made has been
tested and has been found to be Of
the durable kind.
