The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1885-09-26

Early Sunday morning most
disgracetul assault was made up
on several Of the prominent gen.
tile citizens of Salt Lake City.
The Tribune rccounts the partic-
ulars in three columns. This
exhibition of malice consisted in
bcsmircbing the premises OF U.
s. Attorney Dickson, Mr.. Narian
his assistant, and u. S. Ccmmis-
sioner Mckay with the contents
of stink-pots. Brand-new Ma
sons half-gallon glass jars were
filled with Il mixture Of human
cxcrcment, sand. lime and dlsa-
grceable chemical preparation.
About dozen Of these barbaric
weapons were used or intended to
DO used. They were thrown
through the windows of the
residences, and bursting discharg-
cd their contents over the car
pets, furniture and walls. Costly
articles of furniture were ruined,
and it will be necessary 10 thor
oughly rcnovatc and repapcr tho
rooms i'm order to remove the
terrible stencil. One Of these
Jars struck window casing and
the contents were spattered over
the front of the house. Several
Jars were found intact near the
residences assaulted, as though
the dastarJly acts had frightened
away the offenders bcfero they
had completed their foul work.
The perpetrators OF the out
rage are supposed to be polyga-
nous Mormons or their sympa-
thlzcls who took this despicabac
method of exhibiting their spite
against tue hated officers OF the
government who arc enforcing the
law against polygamy. They
have not been apprehcndcd yet,
and the Mormon city officials do
not seem to be doing any very
fne detective work.
There is a strong feeling among
the gcntiles in the city and in
the ncighhoring towns. They
charge the occurrence upon the
Mormons, while many of the
latter say it was ins;isated by
the Federal officers TO make trou-
bic. Otbor Mormons denounced
the outrage, and wanted to sec
the perpetrators made TO suffer.
Others seemed to talk as though
they considered the offense per-
fectly justifablc.

An editor died and slowly wended
his way down to where he supposed
a warm reception awaited him. The
devil met him and said: "For
many years thou hast borne the
blame of the bad spelling that the
printer has gotten off in the paper;
the paper has gone out for so; alas
the So often failed to come in. Thy
printer has often bedeviled thee for
wages Saturday night when thou
hadst not darned farthing to thy
name. Men have taken the paper
without paying for it, and cursed
thee for not getting up better one.
Thou hast been called a dead-beat
by the freight conductors, when thou
has shown thy annual pass to their
envious gaze. All these things thou
hast borne in silence. Thou canst
not come in here" And he fired
him. As he did so he murmured to
"Heaven is his home, and
besides, if we had let him once in
here he would have been dunning
delinquents, and thereby creating
discord in my kingdom. ."-Ex.

Last year the assessment valuation

was sl,OO4,247; personal property

year, real estate-$027, ,2O2; personal
property-s7S5,5oO. Total, *1,712,-
7G2. So the assessed 2aluation this
year shows a decrease of 1897, ,784
under the valuation of last year. The
News says "fewer polls have been
returned for 1885 than for last year,
and there are fewer names on the
assessment roll, but there has, how
ever, been no retrograde movement.
The falling of in the total of the as
sessmeD. roll is caused simply by the
low valuation placed upon property
by the Assessor"

A newly invented goldwash-
ing machine is now being used at
some of the placers along tho Ar
kansas river, between Granite aud
Salida, which is said to produce
phenomenal success. The machine
is described as follows by the
Denver Journal of Commerce:
"The machine is composed Of
three sections, about eight feet in
length, OVERLAPPING each otLer at
tho lower end, sixteen inches wide
and ten inches in depth. There
are tbreo gratings, one at the
head of each section, made Of
threc-cighths inch half-round
iron, bcveIed at almost point at
the top, and with twenty-five CT
one-sixtcenth inch openings in
width, through which the water
carries the sand into pockets un-
derneatE and following the graf
ings. There arc twelve peck gets
in each section, with openings or
plugs, which allow the withdraw
al Of any or all of the different
pockets. These pockets are Of
light sheet iron, fifteen inches
long, placed almost on a level
with the bottom Of the section,
with an opening of an inch or
more, and the double flange that
creates rotating current Of WA
ter, carrying off the surplus sand
and leaving the gold within an
inside pocket, or at its bottom.
The sand is carried by the water
to the top of the next CRATE into
the following twelve pockets OF
the second and third sections.
The process is so perfect and the
fine gold SO surely saved that it
is very seldom that they clean up
the pockets of the last section.
They claii: that the first four or
five pockets of tho first section
will save at least 30 per cent Of
the gold. The cleaning up Is
done by a miniature machine Of
the same description, containing
six pockets, and without use of
quicksilver, it being placed with
in the fume at any point"

feet above-to what is known as the
main tunnel of the mine-and from
there he fell to the lower level.
10. Robbins, who came down Sat-
urday from the Golden Era mine, on
Summit Flat, says the tunnel will
probably have to be extended 40 feet
further 10 reach the ledge, but may
strike it in twenty or twenty-five

railroad from Caldwell to the timber

more than probable that the road
will run up More Creek, as this
would be the best way to reach the
largest and best belt of timber in
Idaho.

A few days ago a large number
of railway passenger agents were
congregatcd at Jacksonville, Flor
ida, cndeavoring to secure business
for their respective. roads, as the
travel for Northern tourists hap
pcncd to be very large that winter.
While the passenger agents were in
testing the hotels and making
things lively and having a jolly
time among themselves, the editor
of one of the Jacksonville papers
came out in an editorial and called
the passenger agents body-snatch-
ers and declared that they were a
nuiscncc, and stated in positive
terms that they should be kept
away from the depot by the police.
The article aroused the ire Of the
passenger men and they held a
meeting at a hotel to devise ways
and means to be avenged.
Reau Campbell offered a motion,
which was adopted, to appoint
committe to be called the retrac-
ton committee, who should call on
the editor and COMPEL him to apol-
ogise. Mr.. Campbell, so the joke
goes, was made chairman Of the
committee, and in company with
several others started in search Of
the ofiic of the abusive paper. After
some difficulty the office was found
and, after ascending a couple Of
flights of dark rickcty stairs, Mr..
Campbell and his committe entered
a room and discovered thin con-
sumptive looking little man seated
at a pine table, writing by the light
of a dirty tallow candle.
care you the editor and respon-
sible man of this paper?" said
Campbell, becoming very bold as
he noted the fact that the editor
was q diminutive man.
"i-es0ssii ssiir,, ffim the editor and re-
sponsible man."
"Well, sir did yau write this out
rageous article?" thundered Camp
bell, as he put on look of terrible
rage.
"Yes, l wrote that article" calm
ly replied the small editor.
"Then, sir, We demand that you
apologize and retract what you
have said, instantly" said Camp
bell in laundering manner.
81 never apologize" replied the
editor, sand l want you to get out
of here in d-n quick STYLE" and
he pulled out of drawer in the
table before him q six-shooter as
long as cOrnstalk and covered the
crowd with it. Colonel Bob Gar
rett, who was there to render moral
support to the committee, says he
reached the bottom of the stairs
first with the rest of the committee
galloping close at his heels.
When the committee reached the
hotel the other passenger agents
were anxious to know what success
they had met with. Mr.. Campbell,
after calming himself, explained
that the intention was laudable,
but owing to circumstances the ex-
ecutiOn was faulty. He also re-
that his friends would have
to wait until sheol was frozen over
before he would consent to serve
on retraction committee again.
Colonel Garrett says the next
the editor came out in his
paper and ripped the boys up the
back, but no one cared to call his
to the matter. New Or
