From Caldwell comes rather a sen,a-
tiOnal item, " our informant has not ex
aggrratcd. Several days ago two printers
working on the Standard were discharged,
and for pure spite and cusscdncss they
-pied" the Office and raised the devil gen
orally. Last Sunday these two printers
again appeared In Caldwell, and the editor
OF the Standard, Sam'l. L. Berry and the
foreman. Chas. Z. TAtlock. concluded
that they would have satisfaction. The
foreman armed himself with n horse whip
and while he went into an Zoe cream saloon
and laid the Lash on the two printers, the
editor stood at the door, revolver In hand.
and kept the crowd from interfering with
the performance. Both the editor and
,i'e foreman were arrested and tlned so
each for their playfulncss.
