ABOUT a foot of snow fell last Tues
day and Tuesday night.

The other morning Joel Fowler, the
notorious Socorro desperate, was ia
ken from Jail at Socorro, N. NJ, and
despite his frantic appeals for mercy
and cries for help, was dragged to a
neighboring tree and hanged. The
crime for which he was hanged was
for the murder of man named Jas.
r. Cole, last November. Fowler,
with number of drunken compan-
ions, took possession OF the town, ran
through the streets, firing into win
dows and making the citizens dance
and sing at the mouth of revolvers
Cole, who interfered to stop blood
shed. was stabbed to death by Fowl.
er. who was arrested, found guilty
and sentenced to be hanged on Jan
uary 4th. An appeal was taken ano
the case was adjourned until the mex
term. Cole was said to have been hi
seventh victim. Fowler, who wa
worth 100000, said he would use hi
wealth to purchase witnesses, as h
had done in other cases. Havln:
GOOD reason to believe the laws de
Law would result in his final release

1t has got to be fashionable to blame
Idaho cowboys with all kinds of un-
lawful acts, such stopping of rail-
road trains, firing into trains, shooting
at bar-keepers, and making targets of
mirrors and fancy bottles behind bars
ETC., in fact they are now gazetted
from San Francisco to Boston as about
the most lawless, reckless, freebooters
to be found on earth. Last week a
contemporary newspaper published IL
| Ogden, stated that some cowboys
fired on a train at American Falls
riddling the cars with shot.
The fact is that no such occurrence
ever took place and the story is untrue
in toto, but it is such yarns as thi
that brings reproach and stains tn
good name of our fair Territory an'
her citizens and their circulation
should be stopped. We venture t
say, and the truth of the saying can
not be denied, that the so-called COW
boys of Idaho and especially c
American Falls, as class, are as ger
tlemanly, as honorable and as highl
cultivated in the art of good behavic
as can be found in any community
the same number of inhabitants
the United States. That bubblin
out of good humor should take plat
when they gather into town from Il
stock ranches, is but natural but tn
they are vicious or bad men in al
sense of the word, is false ONfol

The Stranger Strangled.

George A Wheeler, better known
as the Stranger, who seduced, and
afterwards strangled his sister-in-law,
Miss Della Tillson, in San Francisco,
October Goth, 1880, was executed at
the Broadway Jail, on the 23d. Sew
eral women called on the condemned
man the day before his death, and one,
Mrs. Stratton, after having an emo
tional interview with him in the even
ing, asked permission to be united in
marriage with him. She had the de-
tails all arranged, but as the Sheriff
would not consent to such nonsense
the would-be bride went away dis,
consulate. A crowd of at least 5000
people had gathered long before the
time set for the execution. Inside O
the jail courtyard about 400 persons
were present. The corridors, inside
and outside of the jail, were bracet
with stanchions for safety, as larg'
numbers were expected to witness tn
execution. At 1852 Wheeler, wit
great calmness, assembled the traE
and lent aid to the officials in fxini
the straps on his arms and legs. Th
only emotion he exhibited was on
witch of the lips shortly after takin
his position on the trap.

ago and has since resided with his

A Knowing Dog.

An intelligent dog is that which
frequents Billy Rabjohn's saloon.
He is deeply interested in the game
of fifteen-ball pool. Whenever al
game is made he gets up into chair
and watches every shot made. If a
ball is pccketed he watches it until
the player puts it in the rack. Occa-
sionally the quadruped will glance up
at the rack and see who is ahead. He
has quick rolling eye and nothing
can keep it from the table when a
game is in progress. He seems to
have favorites and when his man
makes brilliant shot, he gets up on
all tours, wags his tail approvingly,
and looks at the pool player with a
twinkle in his eye, which says: 'Good
shot! Bully for you. You've got
him now.'' That dog knows more
than he gets credit for. He knows
more than some men. See how
knowingly he looks at the perplexed
countenance of that man who is try
ing to adjust his cue properly fol
making difficult shot! Why does
he take such an absorbing interest il
all those minute particulars? VIII.
7 does he assume those looks, airs ant
: motions SO common to human beings
, Is he not human, possessing reason
ing faculties and soul? Who know
s to the contrary? and what avast fun
f of evidence there exists going t
+ prove that he has many human facul
t ties!- News Miner.

Railroad RumOrs.

The Utah & Wyoming Railway
Company recently held a meeting at
Evanston and declared its intention
of pushing its Short Line through to
Utah.
Among the railroads rumored is
one to connect the Denver and Rio
Grande with the Wyoming and Vel
lowstone Park Road, taking in the
Hahn's Peak mines and the fine tim
Der regions lying south of Rawlins.
There has also been some talk about
a route connecting the Denver and
Rio Grande and Oregon Short Line
At least surveys have been made from
the south into the pine region below
billiard and east of that point.-LOg-

IDAHO CITY ought to keep pace
with the times by having telephone
connection with Boise City and Cald-
well. There is now a line between
these two places. It is estimated that
the cost of line from here to Boise
will not be over $1,000. Subscribers
are given telephone scrip for the
amount they subscribe, good for SO
many dollars worth of telephone talk
at the rate Of 40 cents per five min
utes--ten cents less than regular rates
For illustration: If A. Chinner sub.
scribes 500 he will be given 25C
coupons, each calling for five min.
utes conversation. So those who put
up will simply be paying in advance
for the use of the telephone, with II
cents off the regular rate for eacl
time he tackles the instrument anc
fires language at it FIVE minutes
What do you all say? Shall we hav
a telephone line from here to the cap
ital! 1t would be a good idea TO
some one to move in the matter an
see what can be done. Will proba
bly, know what the people think abou
it by CUR next issue.

Since the publication by the San
Francisco Chronicle, of the correspon-
dence between G. P. Huntington and |
the late d. d. Cotton, Huntington has
beyond doubt, been the most extern
sively advertised individual in the
United States. He is said to have
controlled Congress in the past, and
to-day has mortgage on the United
States Senate and Supreme Court.
Whether such is the fact or not, eve
rything relating to his public and pri-
waite life is of interest. The Boston
Herald has the following about him:
"Huntington's wealth to-day is
probably something under s5o,ooO,-
900. But he may be richer even than
Vanderbilt before he dies. Hunting
ton is New York man and is sixty
FIVE years Of age. He is very strong
and carries his self-imposed burdens
Of affairs very easily. He seems to
have fair chance of living to be 80.
He has no children. His wife died a
few monts ago, and one young adopt
ed daughter is the only family that
remains to him. He may marry, but
should he not, it will be very inter-
esting question as to what he will dc
with his wealth when he dies. Per-
: maps the question will puzzle Mr.. Hun
$ tington more than anyone else. Mr.
/ Huntington spends good deal O
0 time in Washington, and always stops
: at Wizards. His habits are simple
and he makes no display. When h
wants to see a man he generally send
for him. His agent is Mr.. Sheriff.
! who attends carefully to his interests
which are always before Congress il
one way or another. This year it
: necessary to prevent the revocatio
of the Texas Pacific land grant, whic
a it is hoped may in some way be cor
verted to the use and benefit OF tn
= California Southern Pacific"

A FRIEND of the WORLD, at Ban
'ner, promised sometime ago to write
Ito us if he learned anything definite
about the reported sale of the Elmira
'company's mines and mill at Banner.
As he has not written we are of the
opinion that no sale has been made
for rather, no entire sale. 1t is very
probable, though, that some of the
stock has changed hands, as it was
expected last fall that thirty thousand
shares, or Whereabouts, at 81 per share
would be transferred to certain party
IN Elmira, New York. 1t was report
ed that the mine was sold for s4OO,
600 1t is very probable that shares
changed hands ON a basis of valua
ton of 100000 for the entire prop
erty of the Elmira company, includ
ing the Banner and other mines, anc
the mill.

barrassment.
NORWICH, CoNN., August 3.-Mills are
shutting down in all parts Of Eastern Con
necticut for intervals of rest ranging from
one to six weeks. The large Grosvenor-
dale mills stopped this week, throwing a
large number of operators out of work, who
must now live on their wis or on aims fur
nished by their employers. 4 day or two
ago the Windham Cotton Mandatory
stopped work. The great Ashland Cotton
Company here only recently compromised
with its $50 men and women who were out
on a strike, by announcing that the pro-
posed reduction in wages after the middle
of the month should not be more than 10
and Is per cent. Many Of the operators
refused to go to work at the reduced prices,
The wooden and coiton manufacturer
throughout this part of the Stale are on the
eve Of shutting up their factories, in the
hope of getting better figures for their sur
plus of goods in the fall For long tire,
they assert, they have been running their
mills at loss The cause of the trouble
is over-production under the fictitious sS'n-
illus of the excessively inflated protective
policy.
As the Republican managers enter on the
Presidential campaign they are confronted
by hundreds of unemployed. and wretched
operatives and thousands of other mill work
ers who are laboring u hours day for go
cents and 81, who demand the meaning of
the gilded promises four years ago that q
vote for Garfield and the Republican policy
meant higher wages for the workingmen
and plenty of work Republican campaign
orators in their speeches fight clear of the
convicting issue between their protection
promises and the actual condition of poT-
erty and hopeless industrial embarrassment
that is before the mill operatives. 1t is dii-
fcult to explain why half the mills, aggre-
eating 100000 spindleS, in New Engl..Id
are idle by the torchlight logic of mill
