She was always surprising people
with these odd devices. Once, years
ago, at fancy fair held in Boston, Mrs.
Ronalds, then Fannie Carter, had the
charge OF q table filled with bon.bons
and candies. A strange gentleman
took UP large sugar "kiss," Of .
variety made in Salem, Mass, and
called, for what reason am at . loss to
know, "Sslem Gibraltsrs," "What
are thsses" said tie gentleman, hold
/, ing one up. "Tbsy are sugar-kissss,"
replied .aiss Carter, twenty-five cents
.pieee." "Ah," said the gentleman,
~ would give IS many dollars for q
kiss from you." "Done," said Miss
Carter, ait is in the cause Of charity"
She then came from behind the stall
and gave him . good smack; the gen.
tleman promptly paid his s25, which
she as readily turned over TO the treas
urer of the charity.

audience were startled at seeing them
wandering around her bare shoulders.

t'Dv,ly Murdered

EAGLE Rock, Idado, August 1S.-
Last Spring III. Welter, Gus Ham
lin, ii. Tiggerman and III. Tonnar,
prospectors from Butte, Montana,
located a placer bar about ten
miles south from Jackson Lake,
working the claim until July 10th,
when trouble arose between Tiger
man and Tonnar over some tritling
matter. Wclter and Hamlin joined
issues with Tiggerman against
Tonnar, resulting in the killing Of
Tiggerman, Hamlin and Welter by
Tonnar with a Winchester. After
the fearful deed was accomplished
Tonnar realized the terrible crime
he had committed and
HIS FIRST IMPULSE
Was to join his companions by
shooting himself. Then he thought
he would 60 to the nearest settle
ment and give himself up to the
authorities. He carried the bodies
to the top of an adjacent hill and
rolled them down the other side
into a deep gulch and covered them
with loose stones, nailed up the
cabin and started. Upon arriving
at Teton Basin his resolution
weakened and me went to work for
ranchcr named Wolfe, where he
remained until August II, when he
was arrested by a party of prospcc-
tors consisting of w. Moberry, +.
Free and d. Radeliif, who
CANE UPON THE BODIES
While prospecting, and learned
that this man Tonnar had been
with them all summer and had
been seen recently going towards
Teton Basin. Upon being arrested
Tonnar confessed the killing of the
three men, telling a straight story
and stating that he did the deed TO
save his own life. He was brought
to Blackfoot to await the arrival Of
the Sheriff of Uintah county, who
is coming with requisition, as the
decd was committed in Wyoming.
Tonnar is about five feet two inches,
of dark, swarthy complexion and
about 50 years old He seems
perfectly cool, expressing no re-
grets for the terrible crime lie con-.
mittcd.

1t is being whispered about that
Fitzgerald. of the Idaho Forwarding
Company, is to be pushed for the
nomination of County Assessor at
the coming Democratic Convention.
:. Fitz" has not officially announced
himself rs yet. The sensation OF
seeking office is new and novel to
him, and while he may not allow
his name to go before the COnvcn-
ton. he intends To better qualify
himself for the position in case
lightning does strike him. On his
trips around town he takes new
interest i'm all the surroundings, and
is already an adept in striking a
horizontal valuation on the real
estate of the county. If nominated
"Fitz" will introduce several noveI
features into the campaign which
will add to his popularity and be
sure TO elect him. At present he
is in the hands of his friends, AND
I if they insist on his running he vii
enter the field.

DESTROYED DY FIRE.


John A. Gowan and Dave Ster-
rift returned to Sawtooth on last
Saturday from a prospecting trip
down the Salmon river, distance
of about 16O miles. During the
trip they met with a serious mis-
hap, losing their entire outfit-sad-
dies, blankets and professionally
fire. While encamped on the Mid
die Fork they started out afoot to
search for the Loon Creek trail and
shortly after they left camp a
heavy wind commenced blowing,
and, looking back from the noun
tain, they discovered fire in close
proximity to where their camp was
located. Losing no time III getting
back, they found everything en-
veloped in the flames, even their
guns and ammunition destroyed.
Their horses and pack animals were
secured with great difficulty, the
animals having been badly scared
by the fire, and they started for the
settlements. For two days they
subsisted on berries and wandered
through the country. Fortunately,
they struck out in the right direc-
ton and near the close ofthe second
day found a house occupied by q
Chinaman, who gave them square
meal, which was despatched III
short order by the hungry and
worn out men. The Celestial re

night was spent with Capt. Sarney
and the next day Bonanza wa:
reached. The men had some very
rich ore with them, but the sacks
were burned in the fire, and it haC
to be left. At the head of Big Creeb
they found Charley Wright, jim
