Boise Democrat The woman
faith-healer, who claims to be in
partnership with the Almighty at
dollar sitting, has been operat-
ing here for two or three weeks.
Her followers say that with lisp
of prayer from her the blind see,
the lame walk, the deaf hear, lost
manhood comes bowling back ram
pant, and she just fairly dotes on
paralysis and Bright's disease. One
move of her lips in silent prayer
knocks the stitch in mans back
so completely out that it is never
heard of again. One old hypo crank
whose face had been reversed for
several years, another who imagined
his bead was a teakettle, another
whose nose was foghorn, and still
another whose limbs were vitrifed
and had them packed in cotton to
keep them from being broken, and
one more who thought his probos-
els blossom land it probably was,
and a rum'un at that, have all
been righted. The lady is the same
healer who healed all of Wood
River. The world is mine oyster,
and what fools we mortals be-a
vast majority of us at least.
Lewiston Teller: A chicken was
killed at the farm of Mr.. McFadden
on the Big Potlatch, near Cameron,
last week, and when the craw was
opened piece of gold was found
about the size of a pea. A turkey
was also killed having pieces of
gold in it's craw. The discovery
has induced several parties in that
section to shoulder pick and
shovel and start out prospecting,
and we may look for stampede in
a short time.
The Cassia Cuonty Times contains
a lengthy account of the losing and
finding of Jimmie Iverson, from
which we condense the following:
Thirteen years ago the little fellow,
only thirteen years old, was spirited
away from his parents when they
were living on their Cottonwood
ranch in Cassia county. Every eff
fort was made to find the lost boy,
but no trace of him was found until
a few weeks ago he presented him.
self before his sorrowing parents
who are now living in Ogden, Utah,
and easily proved that he was their
son so long mourned as dead. While
at play on bridge near his fathers
house he had been stolen by squaw
who took him quite distance to
an Indian camp. His memory is
clouded with reference to his where
abouts for several years afterwards
He next remembers being in charge
of white people who ill-treated him,
and he ran away. After various
vicissitudes he fell in with man
whose home is at Eagle Rock, and
for seven years he has been living
at that place. He became interested
in a good hay ranch and has accu-
mulated some stock. He did not
know who he was, or what his name
was, but was convinced that he
never slid into this world on a rain
bow, and for several years he has
been looking for his parents, with |
the happy result of at last finding
them. At one time he attended |
school at West Weber, only about
six miles from Ogden, where his
anxious father ard mother were
living. He and his sister Anna
passed through Albion a few days
ago on their way to visit an uncle
who lives on the ranch four miles
rom which Jimmie was stolen thir-
cen years ago.
Pocatello Reporter: Woods, the
vife-murderer, now in Jail at Black
DOT, is said to be very much con-
,erned about his fate and devotes
most of his time to devotional SER
ices and the perusal of the scrip
ures. Williams, the Cariboo assas-
in, appears wholly indifferent to
lis approaching doom.
Boise Statesman A party of sur
