self in the arm last Wednesday, while
getting into bis buggy, il having the
best OF nursing possible under the cir
cums&ances at the Soldier Hotel, on
Camas Prairie. A TINES reporter
and Receiver Waters, Of the United
States Land Office (who has known
the General for over 30 ysars) called
upon him yesterday morning. They
found him in good humor, chatting
gaily about his accident, and confident
that he would be "as good a. ever" ia
. few days,notwithstanding his 60.odd
years. AS no word bad been sent to
the Generals home about the acoi-
dent, the T1MRs man was intrusted
with two dispatches, to be forwarded
from HALEY, stating that the General
was not dangerously wounded. One
of the dispatches was for MIS-. Coo,
the other for Coe & Carter.
This morning q carrier arrived in
HALEY after DR.. Brown, and brought
a letter stating that the Generals
pulse was about IS, and futtering.
This is held to be a very unfavorable
symptom-to be, in fact, an indica.
ton that the patient is slowly sinking.
DR.. Brown left for Soldier 1t noon to-
day.
Frank Coo, the Generals son, who
was on the range At Mountain Home,
came to Soldier as soon ~ informed
of the accident, and arrived there
Saturday evening.

The game over, the train was found
in waiting on the track to take the
participants back to town for dinner.
It may be added here that through
the courtesy of the engineer of the
train, the people were hauled to and
from the grounds for both games,
free Of charge; and for this act he
will ever find warm spot in the
hearts of the Wood River people at

except at great odds in favor Of the
Wood River Club. Very little
money changed hands, and odds of
six to one were given in some in

by the following score:

BY far the best game ever played IN
Idaho. The HALEY boys seemed to BE-

probably accounts for their losing the
game. In the first three innings they
did some wild playing, and gave tho
Pocatsllo club an advantage which
they afterwsrd found themselves un-
able to overcome. Both clubs played

4 Good Cleanup From Them Brought

AL. Arnold is in town to-day, from
his Little Smoky placer claim. He
has just made cleanup, and brought
the result-20 ounces of gold-with
him to be retorted. The gold is ex-
cellent. Besides being very fire, in
value, large percentage of ii is mug
gets, ranging in value from 415 down.
Mr.. Arnold is confident his claim
will yet make his fortune, and is sat.
is6ed with what he has accomplished
thus far. He says all the placer land
there has been located, and quite a
number are working their claims this
season, but with what result is not
known. Most of the claims that were
located this season are being worked.
Some spots along the creek, he
says, are very rich, while fair pay dirt
is to be found all the way down the
creek for distance of IL miles. A
great future is no doubt in store for
the gold belt.

The sum and substance of the
whole disagreeable-disgraceful-af.
fair, u this: The Shoshone club
promised, in their arrangement with
the Haley club to play there, to put
up go expsnses->50 for the game
with the Pocstello club, and go with
their own. Some time after this, and
three or four days before the excur.
sion, ssloon.keepcr named Colwel!'
Of that city, who seems to be the
secretary Of the club, was instructed
to notify the Wood River club that
the money could not be raised which
they had agreed to pay. He wrote
the letter-and put 1t in his safe,
where it remained. He thought,
probably, that if this information was
sent. the excursion would not come
there, and they were out too much for
advertising, grounds, etc., to lose the
few dollars the Wood River people
would BE- compelled to leave. So
nothing was said Of the matter until
after the games had been played, and
Captain Colin and others OF tho Hal.
Icy club went for . settlement. Then
they were informed of the contents Of
the letter, and rendered $50. This,
Of course, was refused, and tho
"shrewd" Colwell informed that he
was no gentleman at best, and posi-
bly, = thief.
From this words grew hotter, and
when the captains of the two clubs
met on the depot platform and were
talking the matter over, some disin-
terested parties who took the insult a.
aimed At Shoshone people, interfered
with wild demonstrat tons, and a gen.
eral row ensued. Several men were
knocked down and pretty badly pun
ished, when Deputy Sheriff Jack
Campbell put in an appearance. Sew.
eral shoshene toughs disputed his au-
thority in the premises, and he had
to choke and knock down 4 number
of them, before they would pay any
heed. There were some 300 men on
the platform, and half dozen knock
downs were going on at time, and
trouble was with difficulty confined to
that. But for Jack Campbell's cool
and determined manner, blood would
undoubtedly have been shed, - the
HALEY boys didn't propose to be
crowded too far, and were pretty gen.
orally armed.
The engineer saw the danger, rang
his bell: sounded his whistle, and got
the excursionists aboard. This prob
ably saved many parties a severe
spell of sickness.
Constable Pollard was there, and
when asked to help stop the row, said
be didn't propose to get his clothes
torn off. And he didn't. He stood
by, all the same, and saw the disturb
ance 60 on without move to stop it.

In consequence of the action of the Cana

imposed here Yesterday. The Bonavista's

the Canadian tariff.
The Ronavista left Montreal with 10 OOo
barrels of -four and large quantity of pork
The duties which the New Foundland gov
ernment imposed increased the rate on the
Aour 30 cents to Al ner barre, and on the
pork 80 per barrel. As these duties discrim-
nate against Canada as compared with the
limited States. the owners of the vessel and
cargo would thereby lose a large amount.
There are also other cargoes en- route. Those
