The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1888-09-08

ed-one for term of three years
and the other to serve the one year
of Chas. III. Reeds unexpired term,
Reeds removal from the district
creating the vacancy. There were
four candidates, namely: w. c..
Maxey, George Little, T. W. Boone
and T. H. Galloway. In casting
| the ballot each voter was required
to state on the ballot, which one he
desired for the long term and which
for the short term. In counting it
was discovered that George Little
had a majority for both terms, thus
electing him to both offices. Of all
votes cast, Boone was next to Lit
tie, but on vote for short term alone
Galloway was ahead of Boone. Of
course Little cannot fill both offices,
and the case has been referred to
County Superintendent Stevenson
for his decision on the matter.
If an extremely light vote counts
for anything, we should judge that
the average Caldwell citizen don't
care whether school keeps or not.
An anarchist wearing the red
shirt, who has been about town the
past week cumming free drinks
and making himself generally OBJ
noxious, came to grief last Satur-
day. 1t seems as though this noble
blk is something of a rustler, and
instead of giving up after being
kicked out of every saloon i'll town,
he conceived the idea of starting
in business on his own hook. Being
short of capital he Borrowed" a
few dollars from a fellow who was
too drunk to offer any objections,
and who, by the way, oughtto have
been robbed for getting in that
beastly condition. But alas! for
human hopes! The "Heagle-Hye"
of Dan Brown was upon him, and
before he conld start for Canada
with the "boodle" Dan had him
headed for CaldwelPs palatial bas-
tile. He was brought into the
august and distinguished presence
of Judge Beatty who read the revis-
ed code through to him, hoping
thereby to soften his heart and
bring him to tears Of repentance.
Failing to move his hardened heart |
by kindness, the Judge fined him
500, which he will board out in the |
county Jail at Boise.
On the 18th inst. the Building |
and Loan Association will elect |
new directors for the ensuing year.
THE TRIBUNE will publish state
ment of the past years business at
that time, provided we can get it.
A new bracket will also be open
ed at this meeting, whereby new
members may be admitted without |
paying back assessments. Go to
the bank and get a copy of the
Constitution and Bylaws free and
find out just what this organization
is and what it is doing. 1t is a
safe and profitable investment for
your spare change. -
I Owing, we suppose, to an I'M
usually interesting game Of draw"
in the mail service last week, we
did not receive last Sundays
Statesman and Democrat until
Wednesday. The Idaho World of
the 31st of August came struggling
in the same day. THE TRIBUNE is
accommodating some evidence that
will enable tito "raise" somebody a
few "beans" one Of these days.
