County Commissioners.

Agreeably to notice published in the
Commissioners met at the Court House,
Monday last, to give hearing on the pc
ttion of X. b. Shepherd, James Is. Das-
comb and Others representing that the
line of the county road from the store Of
Isaac Dyer to Skowhegan Bridge cannot
be determined by actual survey and ask
ing the Commissioners to give notice,
view the route and relocate said road on
an extended line with the south side OF
Water street
A question arose a. to the ownership
of the land in case they granted the prayer
of the commissioners, and the commits
soners adjourned the hearing until Tues
day, the Both instant.
The commissioners went to Fairfield,
Tuesday, to give a hearing to the
secctmen of Fairfield and other petition
ers who represent that great uncertainty
prevails regarding the limits of the coun-
ty road, within Fairfield Village Corpo-
ration, in said Fairfield, and ask that a
competent surveyor be employed to es-
tablish the same and mark with suitable
bounds the angles thereof.
Tuesday next the commissioners give a
hearing at Mercer village to the select
men of Mercer asking them to view and
alter the county road leading from Mer-
Ger village OF the west side of Bog stream
to Rome corner, between the premises
formerly owned and occupied by Jesse
Blaisdcll aud the premises now owned
and occupied by Richard Nickerson in
said Mercer, so that instead of running
as it does now between these two points,
it may be altered SO as to run westerly
between said points on a high ridge of
land, which the petitioners believe would
accommodate the public travel and save
expense to the town of Mercer,

A Cheney paper gives the following ac-
count of the death of Mr. \. d. Dennis,
who was formerly resident of Somer-
set:
Died, at - o'clock p. NJ, Thursday,
August IL, 1883, at his home near Rsck
lake, eight miles south of Cheney, W, T.,
Mr. N. ID. Dennis, aged sixty years.
Mr.. Dennis was well known through
out this portion of Spokane county and
was highly respected by all. lie came to
this city about five years since and pur-
chased himself home. After living
here about two years, he moved on his
farm near Rock lake, where he resided up
to the time of his death. He had been
troubled with rheumatism for several
years and tn caused disease of his
heart, which was the immediate cause of
his death. Mr. Dennis leaves wife and
seven children, who have the sympathy
of the entire community in their sad af
fiction. In the death of Mr.. Dennis, his
wife and children have lost loving hus-
band and kind father and the country, a
most worthy and highly esteemed citizen.

of James Munroe and George w.
Brooks, at this place last Tuesday was
the largest here for many years. Ser
vices were held first at 2 o'clock, at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. John
w. Reel, over the remains of Mr..
Munroe, and at half-past two in Ma
sonic Hall, over the remains of Mr..
Brooks. The members of |. c. r. G..
formed at their hall and marched to
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Reel,
and after the services went with the
remains to Masonic Hall The men,
bers of the |. 0. o. f. formed IN pro-
cession at their hall and marched to
the Luna House, and from there, with
the remains of Mr.. Brooks, to Masonic
Hall. The members of the two or
ders led the procession to the grave
ward. Both services were conducted
by T.. >. Kingsley In an Impressive
manner. The two orders mentioned
held services at the graves, which
were side by side. The deceased
were firm friends in life, and in death
they sleep near each other. 1t was
five o'clock when the procession re-
turned to town. After the pro-
cession moved out the town was al
most deserted. Every one who could
possibly attend turned out, to pay the
last tribute of respect to the depart
ed. Tuesday was sad day in Idaho
CITY. Sorrow was depicted in every
countenance.

clNEsE CAMP ON SNAKE
RIVER DEPOPULATED.

Last fall camp of tbirtv fo,r
Ch'nese moved on one of the bars on
snake river, just above the junction
OF the lmnaha with that river. to
spend the winter mining for gold.
winch those bars are known to con-
tain.
When they moved there, it was
known they had large boat and
coed supply of provisions, and it was
generally thought, considerable gold
dust; in fact, the estimated amount
was from $4,000 to $4,000 but the
real amount is not known. The bar
winch they were encamped on is very
isolated, and since spring opened, O.
party OF men passing one day noticed
no one around the camp, and on in
vestigatlon found the bodies of two
Cinnamon who had undoubtedly been
killed by shooting in the head. and
the other Cinnamon we're nowhere to
be seen. Their tents were blown
down, and after being taken up re-
vealsd a large amount of provisions
and mining utensils, which had been
used but very little. The boat was
missing, and everything looked as if
it had been deserted for some time.
On the bank near the river were
found several small piles of cartridge
shells, which seem to have been
thrown out together and with which
the awful deed must have beed com
mitted. Everything looked as if a
battle had been fought, and the
bodies of all except the two found
were put into the boat, which was
scuttled, or thrown into the river.
| During the winter, we understand
several bodies of Cinnamon were
picked up near Lewiston, which
would indicate the latter theory as
the correct one. Whether either is
correct or not, the fact remains that
the untouched camp is there and the
Cinnamon missing, except the badly
decomposed bodies OF the two found
There is no question from the
source of our information, that ter
rible crime has been committed, and
the officers of the law should investi-
gate the matter immediately

PROBABLY the most admirable and
relishable thing about Stewards
scheme is the proposition to let the
four northern counties decide by
vote whether or not they desire an
nexation.
Such brilliant measures are not
often championed by such able states
men. We wonder how the COM
mittee on Territories withstood the
shock. This idea should certainly be
carried out all over the Territory-it
would add wonderfully to the stabil-
ity of Territorial boundaries. For
instance, Bear Lake and Cassia Coun-
ties want to be annexed to Utah.
The profound Sena tor from Nevada
would leave it to a vote of the three
southern counties Bear Lake, Onei-
da and Cassia. See what splendid
arrangement it would be for Oneida
County, especially if it objected to
annexation. Then, after awhile,
Owyhee might want to be annexed to
Oregon, and the question could be
left to a vote of Owyhee and Wash
ington Counties. This arrangement;
would simplify matters wonderfully
And again, Alturas might want to be
tackled on to Florida, or Maine, or
Alaska, or the South Sea Islands, ano
of course having majority of the
votes there would be nothing to in
terfere.
If Stewart would frankly allege the
real cause which actuates him il
working the annexation scheme some
} advantage might be gained by hi:
j candor, although his motives Nigh
J not materially enhance his persona
character. If he would declare tn
whole thing to be political desig
for the purpose of assuring statehoo
< for Washington, and providing youn
!, Voorhees, with Senatorship, and &C
ding a large and wealthy area
: country to the barren and povert
4 stricken State of Nevada, he woul
i be candid. If he would say the ult
d mate object be and his colleague
t had in view was the political contr'
: of Washington, Idaho and Nevad
/, he would be truthful; if he woul
l. acknowledge that there was no 9TH
e earthly reason for the annexation
:, the four northern counties to Was
a. ington he would be honest; if he hs
