they had a very fair representation from

Much work IVES accomplished which
was not for the printer to know but the
main thing that we were interested in
was the data for holding primaries and
county convention.
1t was ordered that the members of
the committee residing in each precinct
shall appoint judges for said precinct,
in the primary election; said election

Where to Hold the County Convention.


The Democratic County Central Com
mittee will meet at HALEY next Monday
for the purpose of naming the time and
place for holding the County Conven-
tion and fixing the apportionment of
delegates.
We have alluded before to the matter
of holding the convention at Ketchum,
and desire again to direct the attention
of the committee to the claims of this
town. The Democratic Convention two
years ago was held at Bellevue, and the
Republican Convention at Ketchum As
Bellevue has had the benefit of the meet
ing once, and as HALEY has the benefit of
the meeting of the committee, rs we'll as
those pertaining to the court house and
county seat, it would be but fair 10 dis
tribute the favors, and give Ketchum q
fair show among other Wood River
towns. The Republican Convention will
probably be held elsewhere this year,
and it affords an opportunity for the
Democracy to locate upon this ground
for their convention. We trust that the
committee will give the subject due con-
sideration.

Fire at HALEY.

We learned last night from Mr.. Will
lett Young, on his return from the cri-
Gus at Haley, that fire occurred Mt that
place at $3.50 O'Clock, which threatened
the town. The fire broke out
in a two-ssory building on River
street, opposite Bullion block.
and as soon as the alarm was given ev-
erybody, including those who We're at
the circus, rushed to the scene. BY con-
siderable cxertion the fire was extin-
guished. but not before two 2-story and
one other building We're consumed. The
fire originated from the explosion of a
lamp

Ketchum terminus by way of the new

endeavor also to purchase sufficient
high grade lead ore On Wood River to

Ketchum is indebted to Mr. Fitxsin-

greatly owing to their energies that the

they should return the compliment BY
a little concerted action and the ap-

while the senate is closely balanced.
