"Yes; that is, the Government gives
an appropriation, but the place never
gets the benefit of it.
"Who doesP"
"The officials. There was Gov
ernor there once who received an ap-
preparation of some sixty thousand
rubies to be devoted to the improve
ment of the towns. He had no place
to keep it-no safe; so he built a brick
kind of mausoleum in the garden or
backyard of his official residence, which
was completely closed with brick or
stone. 1t was never opened.

"Another Governor came out and
took this ones place. He id not dare
to open that mausoleum, so it remains
closed TIL thiS day.
"WhyP"
Because the money is not there. 1t
never was put in, and the officials have
to stand in with one another. San

pector and scout, is again in luck.ss'
The other day, while riding up Lees
gulch, the wagon wheel crumbled a.
piece of rock in the road. 1t was.
rich ore; Joe saw this at glance
Jumping off, he gave two or three
kicks on the edge of the rat, and un.
covered more ore. A pick and shove
ell soon uncovered vein, which joe,
called the Alto. Following this veins
for $50 feet he found it to widen from
an average of 30 inches to six feet.
He therefore made second location. :,
which he called the Costa Rica. Hex.
then proceeded to develop his findr'
and found that the Alto vein carried
Il inches of solid galena on the hang-s
ing, and an inch of the same on the<'
footwall, the intermediate space being

The Shooting at Era.
lnter.T,iaho

A few additional particulars were
receivedSin the matter Of the shooting
of Sullivan by Stewart after we went
to press last evening, which are as
follows:
ERA, September %, 1884.
Ed. of the Inter- Idaho:-On the
evening Of the 9th inst a shooting
affair occurred here in which man
named Dan Sullivan received the
contents of a shot gun in the right
leg about four inches below the groin.
1t appears from what we can learn
that a man named Thomas Stewart
had snsplcioned Sullivan of robbing
his camp Of some -four and sugar, and
about 8 o'clock in the evening went
to Sullivan's house, called him out
and accused him of the theft. Sulli-
van gave him permission to search
the house and some angry words en-
sued on both sides. Stewart grasped
a musket, which, 1t appears, he had
previously placed against an adjoin-
ing building, andy turningeons Sulli-
van, discharged the contents into his
leg. The charge passed through the
pocket of Sullivan's pants, carrying
with it the contents Of the pocket,
which consisted of a knife and some
small change. The wound, although,
probably not serious, is very severe,
and will require the skill of good
surgeon to probe and dress the wound.
Stewart is under arrest, and Sullivan
will be removed to the county hospi-
tai Immediately. H. B.

Fight at Bayhorse.
Inter It.aho.

U. S. Attorney Hawley returned
last evening from Bayhorse and Chal-
lis. He says that at Bayhorse, on
Monday evening last, between the
hourse Of 10 and IL, Johnny Burns
shot and killed Bob Stratham. As
near as rumor had the trouble sum-
med up, on Sunday night Johnny and
Bob were playing poker in a saloon,
when an argument arose about an
ante. Bob told Burns he was a son
of brute and Johnny went out, heel
ed himself and came back; slapped
Bob in the face, and that was the last
OF it that night, but at the hour nam
ed, Monday, Bob walked in on John
ny armed with a revolver. Burns
said he was not armed, but neverthe-
less Bob took two shots at Burns as
he skipped out Of the back door. 1t
appears that Burns did not run to 90
into the next saloon, where he pro-
cured pistol and walked out in front
on the street, there to find Bob ready
for him. Then the shooting common
ced, three or four shots being fired,
when Bob disappeared, running up a
narrow stairway between two houses
and falling dead at the top-shot
through the heart. Johnny Burns
used to live in Haley in early days,
and i'll Salt Lake, and is we'll known
among Wood River sporting men.
Johnny will have to stand an exami
ration, but the opinion prevails that
he will not be bound over to appear
before the grand jury.

Attempt to Com NIT suicide.


Attempt to Commit suicide.
EUGENE HoATLASD made an unsuc.
cessfol attempt to commit suicide at
Banner last Friday afternoon at about
half-past one o'clock, by shooting
himself in the neck. Vim. Oliver
gives US the following particulars:
a few minutes before he attempted
to take his life, he and Mr.. Oliver and
VIM. Wentworth were IN conyersa-
ton at the lower end Of town, and as
Hoatland started off he said to Went.
worth, form whom he had borrowed
q pistol: You can have, this pistol
after this evening. ! will have no
further use for it." He said "rood
bye, T" and went UP to Smiths board
ing house. Oliver and Wentworth
thought that probably he intended to
commit suicide, SO Oliver followed
him up to the boarding house. When
Oliver got there Hoatland was inside
the house. There were three or four
persons in the house-Miss Naomi
Smith, and two or three boarders who
were eating dinner. Mr.. Oliver con-
cluded that he was mistaken as to the
mans intentions, and did not follow
him in. He was washing his hands,
by the door, when Hoatland passed
out. AS Oliver looked up he saw
Hoatland throw back his head, and
the first thought that struck him was
that Hoatland had bottle and was in
the act of taking drink; but in a
second or two the report of the pistol
dispelled that thought. Hoatland
staggered around for few seconds
and then fell. He bled considerable,
but the flow Of blood was stopped by
putting flour on the wound. VIM.
Sessions arrived here Friday night
for DIR. Zipf, who started out early
Saturday morning. The doctor re-
turned Sunday. He says he does not
consider the wound dangerous one.
The ball missed the jugular vein and
the wind-pipe-passed between the
two. When Hoatland recovered con-
seriousness he asked: ssHow did I
come here? What is the matter with
me?" When told that he had shot
himself he asked: elbow did the ac-
cident happen:" 1t seems that he
wants it to appear that it was acciden-
tai or that he did not know what he
was doing when he attempted to take
his life. Hoatland came out from
Elmira, N. Y, about eighteen months
ago, and drove team for the Elmira
Company for sometime, but lately has
been at work for Cy MILKY, of Boise
City. Different causes are given for
the suicidal attempt by those best ac-
quainted with the unfortunate man.
He had been drinking for a few days
before, but to no great excess. He
has been subject to severe fits for a
long time, and some think that he re-
sorted to this means as the only way
to end his suferings. He is man
well liked by all who know him.

STEVE SIsK arrived here Thursday,
evening from Long valley, and went
down to Boise City Saturday for a
mower. Steve says the wheat and
oats he sowed last spring as test
did not mature. Too much frost.
Barley did we'll. Steve raised 1000
or 1900 pounds Of potatoes, and they
will compare favorably with the spuds
raised anywhere in the county. Most
all kinds of vegetables grow finely in
that valley, but the growing of cereals,
with the exception of barley, will
never be a success, Five hundred
tons of hay were cut in that valley
this season. Mr.. Sisk cut forty-fve
tons, thirty tons being blue bunch
grass, which grew thirty eight inches
high. There are six families in Long
valley, and fourteen children. They
are industrious, and are there to stay.
Steve has one hundred small apple
trees. He planted the seed last sea-
son. That valley cannot be surpass-
ed for hay, but for general agriculture
it will never amount to much. There
is too much frost.
