The Wood River Improvement
Company.

The Wood River Improvement
Company, composed chiefly of Bos-
ton parties, is incorporated under
the laws of Idaho Territory, and
located at Galena for the purpose
of merchandising and doing a gen
eral mining business. Mr.. j. Mer-
Ger Garnet is president, and Mr.. ].
c. Weston secretary. Other gen
themen of the company present are
Z. 4. Mccullough and Henry IVES
ton. 1t begins operations with q
paid up capital of $4,000 and a
good backing for a much larger
amount, thus establishing a we'll
founded credit. The first aim of
the company is TO both directly
and indirectly aid in the develop
ment of Wood River Mining Dis
trict (proper), Of which Galena is
the center, and to accomplish this
end has laid plans Of careful and
iudicious work. 1t controls the
Senate mining and smelling inter
ests Of that place, and, we under
stand, a number of additional
promising claims. The erection Of
more practicable smelters will proba-
bly, follow as an early move, and in
another season this upper portion
of Wood River may hope for the
result of earnest action in the
encouragement of general develop
ment in that locality.

The Butte Town Talk claims to
have discovered an opium den of
high life order in that city, and
thus describes a visit to it:
"When the opium tiend and his
companion rang the door bell for
admission woman of respectable
bearing ushered them into the hall
way. "Good evening"" she said,
recognizing the fiend. "Do you
wish to see Mr.. T? If so, step
right in" The two advanced
through the dimly-lighted hallway
until the smoker reached the mid
die door. "Here we are" he whis-
pered "this fellow runs the back
parlor." AS the visitors entered
they were greeted by a well-dressed
man of middle age, with light hair
and complexion, who shook hands
with both and asked them if they
wished to smoke. The iiend replied
that he did and so a mat was
thrown upon the floor. The room
was large, square one, richly fur
nished as a chamber. On the bed,
over which there was thrown a rug,
were sleeping two girls. They were
both past consciousness. Over in
the corner was the form of a tad
ented young man well known here.
By his side slept a man and his
wife, whose faces are also well
known in this community. A
wealthy young man whose father is
a prominent parsonage, was among
the frequenters of the joint: He
spends lots of money!" whispered
the liend, "and is one of the loud
est boys in Butte"

SHOOTING m BULLION.
Henry X ai*er Shot i'm the Hand
and Arm by Billy Welch -
NOthiug Fatal.

Billy Welch, the hackman be-
tween HALEY and Bullion, got into
an alteration yesterday morning
in Bullion with Henry Kaiser, the
proprietor of saloon at that place.
The difficulty resulted in a shooting
scrape, in which Welch emptied his
six-shooter at Kaiser, and Kaiser
fired one or two shots at Welch.
Welch escaped unframed, and
Kaiser received wounds in the hand
and arm.
One ball struck the pistol in
Kaiser's right hand, knocking the
handle to pieces, and penetrating
the first, second and third fingers,
fracturing the bones.
Another ball struck him in the
forearm, penetrating upwards and
backwards, striking the bones of
the forearm with sufficient force to
fatten the ball. The ball, together
with a piece of cloth, was extracted
by DIR. Mckay, drainage tube
passed through the wound and an
anti-septic dressing placed over it.
The wound is dangerous on account
of the possibilities of extensive
suppuration and blood-poisoning.
The rumored cause of the trouble,
as near as we can learn, is this !:
Colonel Ravens, superintendent of
the Idahoan mine, has made it a
rule that when a man working for
him gets intoxicated he is dis
charged. A day or two ago man
working at the Idahoan got under
the influence of liquor and was
discharged the next morning by
Mr.. Paddock, foreman under Mr..
Ravens. Yesterday morning Kai-
ser accused Wclch of informing
Colonel Ravens concerning the
discharged man. The accusation
caused words, then blows, which
finally resulted in shooting. No
arrests have been made. Kaiser is
at Mrs. LaGrande's lodging-house.

The CuHs,:.s Mill flight.

Sam Wilson and George Potts
were short time ago partners in
mining and in running a saloon at
the Camas mill, but they got to
quarreling over business and love
affairs until Saturday the trouble
ended in Potts drawing a revolver
and shooting twice at Wilson, and
shooting one of his little fingers off
and putting hole through his
hat rim. This so engaged Sam that
he rushed upon his assailant,
wrenched the pistol from Potts
grip and shot the latter through the
stomach, the ball passing entirely
through the body. Potts cannot
live. Wilson gave himself up, and
if our reporter is correctly informed
an examination will clear him Of
the blamc.-Inter-I 18th.

John l.. Sims, who was taken
from Galena to HALEY last Monday
on the charge of robbery, is an old,
gray-haired man, well-known in
these parts as brother of the
eminent physician, J. Marion Sims
of New York. His claim against
T. f. Clohecy of $40, alleged to
have been held out on him in set
Element two years since, is pretty
well known here as the result of
drunken imagination and ground
less. He had the same trouble
with Joe Pinkham before going to
deal with the firm of T. +. Clohecy
& Co., and Mr.. Pinkham justly
batted him over with an axe handle.
Sims is quarrelsome and often
regrets paying his just debts, it
seems, when he wants money to
buy whisky. On Friday, the 9th
instant, as Mr.. Clohecy was about
to enter the stage at Galena enroute
to Vienna, Mr. Sims confronted
him with a needle-gun in very
threatening manner and demanded
$40. Mr.. Clohecy coolly informed
him that he had no money, where
upon Sims replied with very vio-
lets epithets that he wanted a
check. Mr.. c. not having Il check
he concluded an order would do,
and still keeping a dead aim with
his needle-gun-the bore of which
Mr.. c. probably thought was unus-
ually large-compclled him, with
more or less Incidental abuse, to
write one out. This act was per-
formed in Mr.. Murry's hotel, while
Sims retired UP the road a piece
declaring that "Tom Clohecy would
never live to pass him without Civ
ing the order" The order was sent
to him by the stage driver and the
gun brought in as sign of peace.
Mr.. Clohecy in the meantime had
written to Mr.. Stetson at the bank
here warning him to ignore the
order.

'El.e CnD.as Wild 32.,cl.

Quite stir was caused in the
streets of HALEY last Wednesday
by the appearance of the famous
"Camas Wild Man." who, after
repeated efforts, was induced by Joe
Jones to accompany him to civ
ilized community. They arrived
in a light spring wagon, the wild
man occupying the back seat by
himself, and no sooner reached
town than they were surrounded by
curious people who were strangely
convinced of the truth long since
circulated in the press of the River
He is Of medium build, and
extremely coarse featured, Wild
eyed, dirty and ragged. A massive
beard reaches about to his eyes,
and his hair is long and knotted.
The clothes ne wears are ScaIltV
and well ventilated, being tied
together in every conceivable shape.
His utter silence is the best evil
dence of the solitary existence and
degencrating influence of the wilds
he inhabits. He seems to be very
uneasy and Jones says makes
known by signs, to which he is
slightly accustomed, that he longs
to be back alone in the hills. He
was given some new clothes and
will probably be little more COM
Portable during the coming winter.

Paxton Killed.
tooth county.

Bob Paxton, the horsethief and
desperate, was killed at American
Falls last Tuesday evening by b.
Jackson. No particulars were given
of the shooting. Both parties were
well known throughout Southern
Idaho, the former being a resident
of American Falls, and the latter
both at that place and Blackfoot.
Bob Paxton is the same man who
placed a pistol across the face of
the railroad agent there three or
four months ago while he was
asleep and fired it off to see him
Jump. He was in Ketchum last
spring with Hughes, the herder,
with band of horses for sale, and
disposed of some to Tommy Stin-
ton. He was known as Il pretty
hard case.

Sharp's s,s;srpncss.

Says the Sacramento Record
Uniod: Bishop John Sharp is the
sharpest man in Utah, it must be
confessed. Being shrewd enough
to see that Mormonism has got TO
the end of the rope, and he walks
into court and pleads guilty, with a
supplement to the effect that he
never will sin against The law again.
The Court, knowing as well as
Sharp, the influence of the latter
among the lowly of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
let John off with a reprimand.
Now there is weeping and wailing
and crashing of teeth among the
high priests because of Sharp's
backsliding. The day is not far
distant when these same unctious
old polygamists viii cry out for the
rocks and hills to fall upon them,
because they were such fools as to
deride the calculating John Sharp,
Bishop, and refused to follow his
wise advice.

He is TO be in New Orleans on the
first of next month to represent the

he will open our corner in the
establishment in good shape, but he
earnestly desires our people to help
out when it costs so little. All our
miners, or ranchcrs, or specimen
gatherers have to do is to hand III
their samples to Rupert, the HALEY
druggist, or to Joe Pinkham, ut
Ketchum. These gentlemen will
forward the same to Mae at New
Orleans, and the list of exhibits we
present will be published so that
none of our people may dream they
are cheated our land will be well
represented and well advertised.

to give report a specimen of ore or

and every one helps to call the
attension of thousands of strang-
ers to Idaho.
