THE INJUNCTION CASE.

EDITOR CALDWELL TRIBUNE: We see
by the Boise City papers that James
Lawrence and o. P. johnson have
served an Injunction on the city author
lies of Boise City, restraining them
from collecting the special tax leyit d to
pay for the Riienbaugh bridge. Brave
and noble Romans they are! We had
thought that no Boiseite dare resist the
ring, they have domineered over the
people so long. The people of Boise
City were to be taxed to the tune of five
thousand dollars without the shadow of
law to justify it, in order to make A3a
county present of an old, rotten hulk
Of bridge that the people of Ada coun-
ty would spurn to accept. But the law
less extravaganza of the ring did not
commence here, but long since they
outstripped the charter limits of their
Indebtedness by allowing such unlaw-
full bills as the following:
June 30th, 1882-Bill No. PIT, for
surveying a railroad by Boise
City. 1882 |
Nov. =, 1SS3-To pay Joe Houston
Tor going to Omaha on railroad
business, bill No 250. .......... 200 |
We are in possession OF other work OF
q similar character, but this will suffice
10 show the people how their money
has been squandered for unlawful pur-
poses. And the end has not come, lor
t is in contemplation by the Boise ring
% ask relief bill of the next legisla-
ure for the five thousand d1l ars
md throw the whole price Ct the bridge
Ipon Ada county. This view of the
ase (and it is correct one) makes it
4 vital interest to every tax payer of .
ida county, and 1, for one feel proud
hat Boise City has some citizens that
ave not gone down with the general
rash but still realize that they have
ome rights and dare maintain them.
Stay with them, johnson and Law

MORE COMPLIMENTS TO BOISE.

Under the heading of "Another Gun
Dixie Valley Seeded" recent issue
OF the Democrat contained the following
from Dixie Valley, dated January %:
Mr.. Boyakin: Some of us have had
about all we can of abuse. Boi g City
will remember the south side of the river
have had to pay heavy tax in ferriage
ever since the valley has been settled.
We could not get a pillow sharpened
without costing 81 so. We had no post
Office, no stores, nothing of the kind.
We are abused now by Boise because
we can do better. There was a big lie
IN your paper in regard to people sign
ing notes to build free bridge 1t was
. petition, same as any other, headed |
with $l 900 by Strahorn & Co. Every
man subscribed just what he pleased,
all the way from S. to 800. No man
was required to pay one cent until he
saw the bridge completed. Cox Bros.
gave $40 and dent regret it. We have
good bridge. We have paid $50 to
$50 every year ferriage. Srahorn &
Go. are also bringing in q big ditch.
The work is In signt Of town. 1t will be
q good thing for all of US. There is a ,
blamed good crowd of Us down here :
that will not pay Boise City another /,
oent II we can do better. The business (;
men Of Boise. or some Of them, have :
lone everything against US and town. q
some OF them have made remarks that r
hey ''owned the farmers" Look
round town. See if we are maxim,
ny difference in the trade up there. '
We can buy fencing wire for ten cents !:

anne proportion. As to Utah flour: | ~
0 not think we can sell wheat to our q a.

A Girls Horrible Fate.

Henry Carson and his daughter Kitty
lived in the wilds of Wautauga county,
n. c., half dozen miles from any hui
man habitation. Old man Carson raised
tobacco and cotton sufficient to support
his household with the necessaries of
life, and all his spare time he spent in
hunting bears and other game. Miss
Kitty was pretty girl and smart, con-
sidering the disadvantages under which
she had ALWAYS labored, and was gen.
eral favorite among the backwoods
SWANS, half dozen of whom were al
ways at her feet. One day recently Miss
Kitty disappeared, and there were ugly
rumors IN the air to the effect that she
had eloped with young man from Muir
ply, who had been frequently seen in
those parts and against whom it was
known old man Carson had "grudge
of some kind. When her father was
asked what had become of the young
girl he simply remarked that he supposed
/" she had skipped" Carson was tramp
ing through one of the great nameles
swamps of the county one day, following
some bear tracks, when a sight met his
eyes that transfixed him with horror. In
a depression of the swamp from which
the water had recently receded were the
remains of a human body, the entire up
per part of which above the waist had
been eaten away by wild animals. From
the remains of clothing Carson recog-
nized all that was left of his daughter.
Crazed with grief, he carried the new:
to the nearest settlement, and party OF
neighbors assisted him to bring the
mangled remains home. 1t is supposed
that Miss Kitty became entangled in the
mire and was unable to extricate herself,
and that while in this utterly helpless
position bears or other animals had killed
her and eaten as much of the body as
then remained above the water. Evil
dences of severe struggle were present
in the trampled Gown bushes and torn
and bloody clothes.

SAMUEL ]. TILDEN.
Synopsis of His Letter Declining a
Nomination.

In his letter to Daniel Manning, chairman
of the New York Democratic State conven-
tion Samuel j. Tiden begins by referring to
his letter of June IS, 1880, to the Demo
cratic National convention, wherein he re-
nounced the denomination for the presidency
Mr.. Tilden follows this reference by saying
that in the four years which have elapsed
nothing has occurred to weaken but eyerv-
thing to strengthen the convictions which in
duced his withdrawal from public life. He
reviews his past official career, asserts that
twenty years of continuous maladministra-
ton, under the demoralizing influences of in
testine war and of bad finance, have infected
the whole governmental system of the United
States with the cancerous growths of false
com tructions and corrupt practices"
and concludes by taking final leave of active
participation in public affairs as follows:
- AT the present time the considerations
which induced my action in 1850 have become
imperative. l ought not to assume a task
which l have not the physical strength to
carry through. To reform the administration
of the Federal government, to realize my own
ideal and to fulfil the just expectations of the
people would indeed warrant as they could
alone compensate, the sacrifices which the I'M
dertaking would involve But in my con-
dition of advancing years and declining
strength feel no assurance of my ability to
accomplish those objects. l am, therefore,
constrained to say, detinitively, that l cannot
now assume the labors of an administration
or of a canvass.
"Undervaluing in nowise that best gift of
heaven-the occasion and the power some
times bestowed upon mere individual to
communicate an impulse for good; grateful
beyond all words to my fellow countrymen
who would assign such beneicent function
to me- am consoled by the reflection that
neither the Democratic party, nor the repub-
lie, for whose future that party is the best

upon any one man for their successful pro-
gress in the path of noble destiny
Having given'to their welfare whatever of
health and strength possessed or could bor-
row from the future, and having reached the
term of my capacity for such labors as their
welfare now demands, l but submit to the
will of God in deeming my public career for
ever cloSed-n

The Miniature Locomotive.

Following are some points about the
little locomotive built at Oil City, Penn,
the smallest engine in the world, being
but eight inches long and weighing but
a pound and half. Three years, count
ing ten hours as a days labor, have been
devoted to its construction. There are 5S5
screws in the engine. The steam guage
is but one-quarter of an inch in diameter;
the pump throws but one drop of water
every stroke; the head light is only one
half an inch in width, even-eighths of
an inch high and three-eighths of an
inch long. The space in the lamp is so
small that it was almost impossible to
get enough oxygen in it to support the
combustion. The fire is kindled by
using gill of alcohol, which runs the
engine for half an hour. The stroke of
the cylinder is one inch; bore 5-16; the
throtte-lever is but tive-eighths of an
inch long, arranged with thumb latch
and click; the fre-box is seven-cighths
of an inch wide and one-inch long the
smoke stack one and one-fourth inches
high and five-siXteenths of an inch in
diameter; the steam dome is nine six
teenths of an inch in diameter; the driv-
ing wheels are one and one-half inches
in diameter; the front truck wheels half
an inch, and those of the tender are of
the same size The tender is but three
and three fourths inches long, two and
one -eighth inches wide and two inches
high. The metals used in its construc-
ton are brass, solid silver, gold cad
steel
