The PEOPLE AND BAR ENDORSE
JUDGE BucK.-The people of North
Idaho, convinced that Mr.. Haley will
cause the removal of Judge Buck, if
he possibly can, have determined to
vigorously opps Sc the proposed re-
moval. To that end the entire bar
there, irrespective of party, have uni
ted in signing a petition against
Judge Bucks removal, but praying,
lif he must be removed, that Hon.
Hugh Mayhem, lawyer of excellent
ability and standing with the bar of
Montana, Idaho and Nevada, be ap-
pointed to succeed him.
The petition takes strong ground
against the Hon. George Ainslie,
whom Mr.. Haley proposes to have
supersede Judge Buck, and ends in a
strong appeal to the President to give
us anybody, to infict anything but

tition to Washington and present it,

We cannot believe that Mr.. Hal

of his calibre, he knows he possesses
not a single qualification for that or

Is.-Jonas C'Neil, who went to Chey-
enne during the summer with the
Danskin Bros, leaving his wife here
to await his return, came back a few
days since to find her gone, nor can
he discover the least trace Of her
whereabouts after the most diiigentl

learn is, that his wife, returning to

the same night. Cherishing tender
affection Tor his wife, and having liv-
ed happily with her since marriage,
and knowing that she had no just
cause 70 thus leave him, naturally
arouses the suspicion that her disap-
pearance was not voluntary on her
part. IF he finds that she left him of
her own volition skipped with a
handsomer man-it will not be his

Try he would forever dispel her from
