see here soon.
On the two lots forming the north
west corner of Main and River streets,
Mr. WIN. Loverin, our energetic car
penter, contemplates the erection OF
large two story building 4Sx6O.
One half of the lower part he will
rent, while the balance he will utilize
as shop, and on the upper floor he
expects to establish dance. house,
and being considered quite a masher
he is bound to succeed.
The log buildings now occupied by
the different business men will be re-
moved to the rear of the lots, and
altogether the management intend
making creditable appearing town.
The town of Huston is on Mos.
quito Flat, above here, and is doing
nothing in the building line, with the
exception of few log "wickiups."
Taken all,in-all, there is more ac-
tive erection shown by the Alder
townspcople than all the rest COM
bined, and as money, grit and enter
prise make the world move, SO will
the town of Alder continue the best
town on Big Lost River.
The town of Huston was treated
last week to quite a sensation in the
shape of shooting scrape, in which
Acting Bishop Perry Smith took an
active part 1t seems that for some
months past there has been an old
feud existing between the said Smith
and one keplinger, reputcd horse
and cattle thief, caused by the latter
shedding up" the former some time
ago keplingcr, being under indict-
ment for cattle stealing, Mr.. Smith
was willing that the law should take
its course; and things would have
been better for Mr.. X. had he not
put in an appearance here last week
After ginning up considerably he en-
deavored to run the town in general
and made boasts of his capability t1
run Mr.. S. in particular, when th'
latter had recourse to his Henry rifle
and gently took a shot at Mr.. keplin
ger ResuIt-Mr. X. ''vamoscd," hat
Smith arrested and brought before
Justice Gary, who had to discharge
the defendant, as on the day for tria
Mr.. X. found it rather inconvenien
to appear and prosecute. Blythe way
Smith is ready to receive tithng now
and wishes all ye "truly loyaF' t
. come forward.
