Hosea Eastman, one of the pro-
prietors of the Overland Hotel,
Boise City, in an alteration with
one of his employees, was shot at
by the latter. He fortunately es-
capped injury. The offender was
bound over to await action by the
grand jury.
The Pocatello Reporter chroni-
Giles another case of accidental
shooting: Harvey Fisher, a lad
about fifteen years of age, and Aug
ust Behle were out hunting on the
Blackfoot river, when by some
means the shot gun carried by
Behle was discharged, the load

Avalanche: From Sam Bruce,
who lately came in from the Castle
creek side of War Eagle mountain,
we learn that short time since,
Mr.. Fred Cullen and Miss Lille
Thurmas, two young people Of Shoe
Fly, decided to fly to cline where
their hearts could beat in unison
without opposition, and, according
ly, provided Themselves with sad
die horses and other necessaries
and skipped for parts unknown.
| Since October, 1885, there have
been no Chinese allowed in Sho-
shone. About two weeks ago, says
the Journal, P. w. Spencer of the
Fails House, secured two Chinese
cooks, stating that he was unable
to get any other help, On Thurs
day night a party of ten boys and
young men decoyed them a mile
out Of town and nearly frightened
their cues off their heads with
threats, loud noises and the firing
of guns. One of the celestials was
chased out of town and the other
found his way back to the hotel.
The Pocatello Reporter records
the following robberies at that
place: An old man who had just
arrived from the east had his val
Use containing two valuable watches
stolen from under his head whilo
asleep. Later the same evening
Waterman Wright rescued an I'M
fortunate traveller whom the thugs
had knocked down with a club.
His yell for help brought Wright
to the scene ere they could succeed
in going through their victim.
Word has also reached town that
Major Danilson's store at Blackfoot
had been broken into and robbed of
about $400 in money and jewelry.
Mr.. Hash, says the Shoshone
Journal, who owns Il thousand goats,
is moving his band from the camp
lust above Shoshone On Little Wood
River, farther north near the foot
hills. He shipped over 1000 pounds
of mohair Cashmere goat woody
this week. and Mr.. John Harris of
Goose Creek also has about 5000
pounds of mohair, both shipments
going to New York. The profit Of
growing goats is about twice as
great as that Of sheep. The aver
age clip of well-bred Cashmere
goat ranges from three to five
pounds, and formerly mohair
brought as high as IS cents to Is
per pound. We believe it now runs
from 40 to 60 cents.
Deputy Marshal Timer Of Boise
City has returned to the peniten
tiary Teton Jackson, who was cap

about the first Of Feb. 1884, when
he and man named Thompson

lied to bring the body in. They
were eleven days on the trip and
found it impossible to bring the
body, but cut off the head and
brought it in. They were acquitted.
/ Jackson was subsequently convict
ed of horse-stealing and sentenced
to IA years in the penitentiary, but
remained there only few months
when he dug a trench from his cell
out under the wall and escaped.
