of cotton from his cotton house; lie
questioned his tenants in regard to
1t and was informed by them that it
ws:s rats, (rats with two legs tf
course.) The rats certainly had a
place to carry it, no doubt it was
bought by some of the many traps
| do not mean to ay the traps knew
it was stolen. for it was not their
business to ask where the cote II
comes from, but I mean to say had
there been no traps convenient the
farmer woull not have lost his CO..
ton.
A few years ago our people
thought Of petitioning 20 the Lcgis~
lature to make law prohibiting the
sale of seea cotton but finally con-
cluded it would be no use as it
would be considered unc institutional.
If such law could be made it would
help to protect the farmers gre;t

Fire.

Last Friday night at Anthony
Johns. Mr.. Walter Pendleton S
store and contents were destroyed
by fire. He has been buying cotton
all the fall. He slept in the back
room of the house. The first thing
of the fire he knew was that it wax
ed him up. The back door was
locked and the front part Of the
store was already falling in and when
he seized the key to unlock the door
the key was hot and he failed TO
oper the door but some colored peo-
pie outside knocked the door open.
A little dog that he allowed to slce,,
in the store was burned up. Tn,
fire was the work of al incendiary.
Fires are becoming entirely too

Idaho semi-weekly world. [volume] (Idaho City, Idaho Territory) 1875-1908, 1885-05-29

Late reports from the fire at Sulli-
vans printing establishment in Gin
cinnati say that twelve persons per-
ished in the flames, and six were kill
ed by jumping from the fifth-story
windows. A brother of the proprie-
tor of the printing works, who saved
the lives of two women by letting
them down a rope from the roof, was
killed by the burning OF the same
rope before he reached the ground.
The fire originated by the explosion
of gasoline stove on the ground
floor. The flames entered the eleva-
tor chute, which was near the stair
way, and all chances of escape were
thus cut off. Eleven bodies were
found inside the building, mostly en-
pfoyes of the dye works, which occu,
pied portion of it.

Charged with Stealing a bible.


The Haley News Miner has the
following concerning Francis Jeifries:
"1he case of the Pebble VS.. Fran
chs Jeliries was tried in Probate Court
yesterday afternoon. Defendant was
charged with petit lareeny--stealing
Bible from Mrs. A. Hines. jeff
ries came to Bellevue in the early
days of the town and erected the Vir-
ginia Chop House. In those days he
kept lodging house and many a
prospector has paid Jeff. fifty cents a
night for room enough on the bare
floor to spread his blankets. From
the verdict in the Probate Court it
would seem that he is in urgent need
OF bible just now. We don't
doubt it, but would suggest that If
ketchum is short of the good book
Bellevue might be able to spare few
copies.
