NOTICE.
GOVERNOR STEVENSON.

COlOnel stevenson, VINO mas JUST D5el
appointed Governor oiIdaho, says tn
San Francisco PoSt, is "a native OF Ne1
York and an old Californian. He was
citizen of Ell Dorado county when i
was the banner county of the state, ant
in 1858 represented Tehams in the lag
islature. While living near Red Bluff
occurred the tragedy of his life. A
treacherons Indian boy, whom he wa.
caring for, fired his house, and all OF
bis family were burned to death in the
building. He moved to Idaho many
years ago. and made fortune mining
in the Boise Basin. He is about SIXTY
five years old, and is in many respects
remarkable man and in all respects
gentleman ..a+ M
The above recalls old recollections of
the long ago. We knew Colonel
Stevenson in those days, and were
familiar with the details of the terrible
incident mentioned above. The Indian
boy was favorite with the Colonel, and
would do anything fer hin; but some
supposed slight by some members Of the
family caused him to perpetrate tho
terrible deed. He deliberately locked |
ali the doors OF the house to stop any
egress from the building, and the home,
which was the embodiment of peace,
contentment and hsppiness, became
tho funeral pyre of the afectionate wife
and mother and her five children. The
Indian was caught two days afterwards
and hanged to tree on the bank of the
river near Reeds creek, IN Red Bluff.
Colonel Stevenson had a fine farm,
in Antelope valley, tho scene of the
tragedy, aboutseven miles east Of Rcd
Bluff, but sold out and afterwards re-
moved to the Nome Lackee reservation,
where he held the position as agent
until the latter part Of 1859. In 1860
he married Miss Annie Orr. and shortly '
after removed to Idaho. I
Colonel Stevenson in politics was I
always Democrat, and was an associ-
,te OF CID Tom Henlsy Gather Of
Barclay. William NJ G vim, John D.
Weller, Vino. Gsiger and other noted II
politicians OF that day. He made u

He was not professor Of religion in 1e

/ which several prominent individuals

to-day. The object of the meeting was to
choose time suitable for holding a gen

and have to pay rent of Offices when
necessary as Is sometimes the case. To
procure assistance, they are compelled to
pay salaries of assistants. Therefore, IL
turns out sometimes, they say,
they are left entirely without compensa-
ton. 1t was decided to hold the conyen-
ton in Chicago February is next.

make arrangements for the convention.
1t was decided to ask postmasters of
