money enough she sent for him in Germany,

FoRT SMITH, Dec. 2O.--Another
bloody Indian Territory murder has just
come to light and two more Indian
desperadoes have been sent to the happy
hunting grounds. For many years there
has existed deadly feud between the
Formans and STAIRS Of the Cherokee

Starr had his horse shot from under him
while riding through a lonely wood in

termined to avenge it, but was waylaid
and shot by some of his enemies near
Yonger's Bend. His wounds being

Sam Starr, wounded as he was, seized
Winchester rife, disarmed bis guard aud

LEMlsION IDAHO TERRITORY.
ANN NEXATION,

This is aquestion a which seems to be
engaging the attention of the new spapers
and their readers throus ushout Idaho and
Nevada at the present time. 1t is not
the annexation of North Idaho to Wash.
inyton that is to be considered alone.
but the simple annexation Of North
Idaho to Washington Territory and the
remainder of the Gem Of the Noun.
'ains" to the battle born, alkali, sage
brush state of Nevada. All the papers
of Idaho that We have read, are against
the proposition. They offer as an excuse
against annexation that Nevada is hope
lessly in debt; that she is like drown
Ing man catching n straws and makes a
grab for Idaho 10 order to save herself;
that it will be but few short years
until Idaho will take Of her swaddliny
clothes and will knock at the doors of
congress for ADMISSION as a state. In
fact, they bring to bear every argument
they can to show how impudent Nevada
is in her demands, and how suicidal it
would be Tor Idaho to become part OF the
state Of Nevada.
Well, now, let US look at the true
condition Of affairs. Idaho, we may say,
is out OF debt. We will also say thai,
one part Of the territory wants to b.
annexed to Washington. II the people.
of the North succeed in having the
panhandle cut off the frying pan, then
Idaho will bc smaller in population, area
aud wealth. Should the Northern
counties be annexed to Washington, the
wealth Of the territory would BE- decreas-
I'd about one fifth, and the population
ulso, allowing our territory to now have
lUU, 200 inhabitants, which she has not.
1t Is true that We would have tu assist
III paying Nevadas debt, but would the
tax be heavier than it now is. Now as
to Id.h" skinniny aud bruising her
knuckles knocking at the doors of con.
gress for admission in few years hence,
the man Of men who think that within "a
few years Idaho will have population
enough to gain admission into the Union,
or even to hope t, do so, must have an
imagination Of extraordinary Missouri
horse power. Dakota has population
OF about 100000. aud yet she pleads 10
vain tor admission into the Union.
Idaho cannot hope for admission then,
until she has at least that population,
unless change shall come over the
present opinion Of the congrcss OF the
United States. 1t will be a score Of
years before ldaho's population reaches
10000 In the meantime, We will as
10 the past, be governed by such officials
as may be sent from the east here. Our
governors. judges, &C., will be appointed
by the President, and VIC will have DO
voice 10 electiug . president. On the
other hand, if annexed to Nevada, We
would At once be entitled to all the
privileges Of state. Our taxes would
be no higher then they are now, aud ia
all probability a railroad would be con.
structed from Wiunemucca to Boise
City. Nevada and Idaho are, strictly
speaking, mining and grazing countries
We think that We have presented both
sides Of the question fairly, and that the
people should think we'll over he sub.
