STAND AND DELIVER!

Gentlemen Of That Xix Roaming About
Within One Mile Of Ketchum-Au-
drew Fisher Held Up in Broad
Daylight.
About l o'clock yesterday afternoon
telephone message from the Elk
horn mine informed Deputy Sheriff
Hank Cassidy, of Ketchum, Of the fact
that Andrew Fisher, q miner en-
ployed there, had been stopped on the
trail to the mine, and when about one
mile from Ketchum, by three mount
ed highwaymen. Fisher had been
commanded to halt, when one of the
highwaymen dismounted and searched
him, securing $27.75. Fisher, who
wished to return to town, was then Or
dered to goon toward the mountains.
Two of the highwaymen were quite
large, mounted on two of the finest
bay horses in Idaho, and wore quite
heavy black felt hats. One OF the bay
horses has white spot on the nose.
The other highwayman was a
smallish but thick-set man, with Q
black soft felt hat. He rode black
horse, with white feet; saddled with 8
new Cheyenne saddle, double
cinched.
The three wore new blue AanneI
shirts, nickle- plated revolvers, and one
also had rifle.
AS everything they had in sigh
seemed new, and as they answer tn
imperfect description of the Arco rob
bers, it is generally supposed that the.
are the same men.
The Deputy Sheriff started up tn
trail on horseback at once, but re
turned to Ketchum about 4 o'clocl
without having caught sight OF tn
highwaymen, who are supposed to b
hidden somewhere in the mountains
Three Deputy SherifIs and Dep
uty United States Marshal started GU
this morning to hunt up the highway
men, and as they are determined t.
capture their men they will do so
possible.

THE "ToUGH " EIHnENT.
Wood River Not Sighted BY the
Foot.pad Gentry.

Foot.pad Gentry.
The Wood River country is just
now infested with a set of "toughs"
that is hard to rival. They are not
generally of the old and hardened
character, but at the same time, are
a class that have seen crime in all its
various forms and phases. As a rule
they are young men, scarcely above
their teens, who have long led life
utterly abandoned, and closely linked
with every class of crime, and all that
is low and despicable. Possibly none
of them have as yet committed any
great offense against the laws directly,
but it is because no opportunity has
offered.
Late at night they may be seen,
usually in pairs, either "ghosting" a
faro game, prowling around the high
ways and byways, or skulking near
isolated residences. and always SEEM
ing to have some conspiracy to work
| out.
A man going home late At night
from his business, or from his lodge,
and especially if he is known to have
money, is unsafe alone. He may nj
be followed by any dangerous char
acters if he hustles off about his bust.
ness; but he will surely be watched
if he does not. Therefore it is best
that everyone so exposed should be
armed; and if beset by thieves, make
short work of them.
The foot-pad is dangerous man
His presence is never known. All he
wants to know is that man has a dol
lar in his pocket, and he will have it
if he has to wait week, or a month
and any means will be resorted to, t.
get the paltry sum.
The officers do not seem to take
much interest IN Kidding the country
of this pest, Notwithstanding the law
80 the citizens should be prepared
and take them off one at time, whel
an occasion presents itself.

THE HAILEY HOSE HOUSE.
A Meeting to Take Steps to Bald 1t
to be Held This Evening.

A Meeting to Take Steps to Bald 1t
to be Held This Evening.
Since the Bullion disaster, there
has been considerable stir among the
members Of tho HALEY Fire Depart.
ment, and they are determined to have
their house built, and apparatus in
good repair and handy for any emer-
gency.
As the matter now stands, the hose
cart and ladders are easily accessible
to any one who knows where they are
piled away, but in the excitement at.
tendant upon the breaking out of
FIRE, the delay caused by getting the
apparatus to the scene might cost the
property-owners thousands of dollars;
whereas, if it was properly housed in
a place Of its own, any ordinary fire
might easily be controlled.
The citizens committee having in
charge the collection of subscriptions
for the purpose of building new hose
house have been requested by the
trustees of the company to collect the
money at once, as the amount to be
furnished by the Departments laying
idle in the bank, and the "boys" wan
their house-not alone as shelter 70,
the cart, but as place of meeting
1t is to be hoped that the committee
will act at once, as the delay Of sin
gle day might result in great destruc
ton to property. The FIRE at Bullion
furnishes a warning, also, not to b
overlooked by the citizens Of Haley.
Foreman McCallum has called ,
meeting for this evening, at 8 O'Clock
in Justice Lemmon's Office, and it il
to be hoped that there will be larg'
attendance, as the matter of the build
ing of the hose house will be thor
ougbly canvassed.

1t Begins to Look Like It.

1t begins to look as if there would
be change soon in the HALEY post
mastership. The change may not
take place very soon, but it is sure to
come. The efforts to bring this about
are so persistent that they will proba-
bly succeed at last.

In this Issue which has closed, the
opposition has not been moved by per-

gentlemen connected with the building

In which there were no politics. /. was

asserted itself and has dem anded that

As THE Volksfest - held for the

many people get drunk. If these peo-

WHEN the Republicans had posses-
sion of the Levy Court, none of them,
not even the member from Wilmin gton,
ever got more than $500 salary from it.
The first year after wards when the
Democrats got possession Of it, the Will
mington member got $9Oe, and the sala-
ry since then has incioased. County
members of the Levy Court under Re
publican management seldom got m ore
than $50 to $3.50, but now they get $3.50
and $500. Still, the Democrats carried
the election then under the cry OF
economy and reform, and will try to do
it again at the next election under the
same false cry and voters will be foolish
enough to believe all they say.

Tue sensuszen PARK Murder

The moral sentiment OF the people
OF Wilmington is again outraged by
another life being taken by violence,
which comes within the limits OF mur.
der, the degree Of which must be left
for jury to determine. The real canse
of the murder is whiskey; indeed there
are but few murders in which whiskey
is not an active accessory. 1t does in
deed seem remarkably strange that
with All the tragedies that fill the press
from day 10 day, through this agency,
that young mea are found by SCORES in
every community who risk character
and even life for the sake of whiskey.
We would not upbraid the memory, for
that is all that is left of the young man
who lost his life at the Scheuizen Park,
early on Sunday morning. The circam.
stances attending the affair are sad
enough without adding words Of con.
demnation to poignant grief. Young
McGinnis was neither better nor worse
than thousands of other young men
who pursue the same course and which
leads to disastrous and often tragic re-
| suits. Mr.. Becker possibly did no more

HoEoRS are now even between the
two American yachts Puritan and Pris
ella, In the contest as to which OF the
two shall be the contestant with the
English yacht Genesta, for the cup as
the champion yacht Of the world on
Friday the Puritan outsalled the Pris-
ella, but on Saturday the record was
reversed.
To-day's race will settle the matter,

can beat the Genesta TO win, every
