immediate return Of Mr. Myers, would

fortunate man will in all probability
De dead or convalescent within the
next six days. The cause of his sick
ness is unaccounted for, save that he
IS believed to have received severe
dose OF lead from steaming type: but
this Seems impossible. He had been
sick several days and subject to
number OF violent cramps, each of
which threatened to take him off, and
at the time the messenger left, Thurs
day noon, he had been unable to
speak for twenty-four hours. It is.
hard to conjecture his condition at
this time. Mr. Meyers went on to
Haley this morning to apprise Will
lam and Eugene Abbott, living on
Dry Creek, of Asa's condition, and
they probably took this evenings
train for Atlanta, via Mountain Home.
CeUR D'ALENE Sun: Quite sem
sation was created in town Saturday
lby the report that a twenty-cne ounce
nugget had been found on the Myr-
tie claim il Trail Gulcb. The news,
we found, was brought over at late
hour by Bob Linden, who was after
wards found by Sun reporter, and
acknowledged having sshefted the
bowlder." The chunk was picked up
in the sluice-boxes at noon, lying on
the rifles, and might have been fork
ed out among other rocks had it not
been discovered. 1t is fiat in shape
and carries little quartz, which how
ever, is not estimated over an ounce.
Reduced to coin the nugget will
weigh, at SIG an ounce, 1886. This is
the largest piece ever found in the
IC9ur d'Alene. The previous largest
pieces were as follows: Gelatt claim,
Prichard Creek, 10 ounces; Myrtle
claim, Trail Gnlch, seventeen ounces;
Placer Gulch, seventeen and one half
ounces; Ella claim, Trail Gulch, four
teen ounces. The Myrtle claim has
produced larger number of smaller
nuggets, from FIVE to ten ounces in
weight, but these are of such FREE
quent occurrence that they have fail
ed to elicit special notice.. The lat
est find shows that the Myrtle has
wrested the banner from Prichard

er it as the season progresses. *,

tHeir Touuu-up III lew days.
JAKE PHILLIPS the other day
bought a package of tea and drew
for prize. A variety Of prizes come
with the tea and the buyer draws.
This prize tea is sold by both Emery
and Myers 6 Smith. Jake drew a
handsome tea set at the latter store.
Some of the boys offered Jake 81 for
the set. He refused to sell. While
one of the boys tried to Jew Jake
down, another stole the set and hid
it. One of the boys, who was an
accessory to the petty larceny, raised
two bits on the price offered, and
Jake stood the raise, and went with
the buyer for the tea set; but 10 and
behold! he didn't behold it high nor
low. Then Jake caught on to the
plot, and he gently swore-said damn
it to sheol, or words to that effect.
Stratus, who was also an accessory,
offered Jake six bits for the set, TAX
ing his chances of finding it. "Shell
lit out" said Jake, and Straus shelled.
Straus went to where the set was, and
there it wasn't. The questson is
where did it go? Jake's tea cost him
six bits, so he is just that much tea
ahead in the transaction, and Straus
! is six bits out, SO Jake is happy.

FIRE Buas.-Two arrests, which "a
our people are Of great Importance
have been made this week by Sheriff
Sanders. The parties are Bill Daugher.
ty Shawnee, and his wife Mary E,
Daugherty. They are charged with
having burned the public school. The
evidence in the case was worked up BY
a Kansas City detective who has been
here some time and IL Is said TO be
strong enough for conviction. Mrs.
Daugherty is a white woman and
therefore liable to prosecution either
here or at Fort Smith. Last term her
children, by former husband, were
denied admission to the school and
this is presumed to be the motive for
the yillainous act.

weather 1ne.
Tho farmers are generally gathering In
their corn which In places will only smount TO
half crop
Tho boys who were on on the round pp
have returned and report . large lot OF false
swearing concerning the rightful owners Of
cattle. Men swore to herds who were not
able to buy one-tenth the number. Those
persons ought to be arrested and the law dealt
out 10 them in broken and whole doses, % .
man that will knowingly swear TO o lie is not
TO be trusted. Probably somo OF those
svearers will make property OF what they
swore TO. II 30 they will treat owners OF
cattle as they deserve. Judging from the
squib In the Coneyville Journal one would
suppose that the Cherokees did not hold .
patent 10 this land from the government, but
they do. Those people on the line are not
satisfied with the thousands upon thousands OF
dollars worth OF coal, wood and timber they
have taken out OF this country, but are now
stealing the sod and Transporting Il to Kansas
They are very much worked up BY the sheriff
driving out cattle that don't belong here and
say that the next administration will play
thunder and open mp the territory 10 settlers
They are likely to De mistaken. These settlers
along the border should be made to know that
they have no rights In the territory that the
Indians or the government will respect.

view Of the fact that this mission society are

favor among our best citizens. Itisa strange
kind OF religion which some people get that
leads them to condemn everything that Is not

good In any church but the one to which they
belong. We imagine such people are only
church members In name, and As Sam Jones
would say ''only caught mild type Of the

world lie more enlarged and liberal views OF
the church. and church work. just as lonr a.
the churches consent to go TO war with each
