THE CGUR DALENE SHERIFF.
He Resigns, Rather than arrest q Lot
OF Striking LabOrers.

Vi StFlkiuS LaDOrerSs
Sheriff Guthrie, of Shoshone county,
has resigned. 1t is stated that, some
weeks ago, the men employed in
building the railway into the Ceur
d'Alene struck for their wages, took
possession of the track and road bed,
and vowed that work should not 90
on until they were paid. The Sheriff
was called upon to arrest the "rioters,"
and lot of warrants were sworn out.
Before they were handed to the
Sheriff, however, that official lit out
for Boise with a prisoner whom he
landed in the Penitentiary. He then
telegraphed his resignation to Sho-
shone county, and only replied to re.
peated kilograms urging him to re-
turn by reiterating his resignation,
which has at last been accepted, and
Thomas F. Hanley appointed instead
In the meantime the Murray Sur
states that work on the railway is pro-
crossing with all possible speed, the
railway laborers having been paid in
full.

The deadlock in the House seems
as impregnable to-day as on Monday.
The Democrats have begun to talk
compromise, but as they want the
lions share, the anti Mormon side of
the House propose to stand pat until
they can get their rights.
The Democrats threw out a bait for
Wheeler, of Bingham, yesterday, by
Offering a resolution in which they all
declared themselves "anti- Mormons
and opposed to the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints"
Mr.. Wheeler did not bite.
Mr.. Goodwin (R. } arose and thanked
the Democrats for their manly anti.
Mormon utterances, and then quietly
invited them over to the anti Mormon
side of the House.
The laugh was turned on the dis
comfted champions of Democracy
and they crawled back into thei
seats, remaining mute during the res
of the afternoon.

THE IDAHO LEGISLATURES.

Proceedings OF the Council
Smith Wants Q Slice Of Alsuras to
Paste onto Bingham-Notice Of Bills
Of Interest TO 'sTimeso Rsaders-The
House still at q Deadlock.
BOISE CRY, Dec. II, 1886.
To THE EDITOR OF THE T1MKs:-
The Council is gradually getting
down to work, Notwithstanding the
failure on the part of the House to
organize.
Bingham county wants to chop
piece off eastern Alturas, as will be
seen BY the following proceedings yes
terday.
THE COUNCIL.
Mr.. Smith presented the following
petition:
To Hrs ExcELLnncY z. A. sTKvENsox Governor
Of Idaho. and to the Honorabl the Legislative
Assembly Of said Territory:
We, your petitioners, would most
respectfully represent that we are
residents of the narrow, fertile bottom
OF Snake river extending from the
American Falls along said river to the
Bingham county line, and that we own
property in that district.
That the line between Bingham
and Alturas counties is underlined and
is entirely arbitrary.
That we are conveniently situated
to the county seat of Bingham county,
it being only so miles by the north
side of the river from American Falls
to Blackfoot.
We therefore ask that the boundary
between Bingham and Alturas be To-
Gated and defined as follows:
Beginning on the right bank of
Snake river at a point one rod above
the western abutment of the railway
bridge at American Falls; thence in
a straight line to the crest OF the Big
Butte; thence in a straight line to the
crest OF the Middle Butte; thence in
a straight line to the southeast corner
of Lemhi county.
This line will pass through a coun-
try entirely uninhabitable and SO nat
urally marked that it cannot be mis-.
understood.
(Sigued by twelve residents on the
land .;eser:5ed.)

Walking along our principal thor

goods that merit extravagant praises.
The dry goods and stationery windows
display elegant and dainty gifts in
lavish assortments, causing one to in

groan with their appetizing delicscies
