Richardson, of this city, has just re-
ceived letter from his nineteen-year-
old son Fred, postmarked at Plymouth.
England, which relates a remark; b e
experience. Last summer Fred disap-
peared from home to go to Portland, Or.
Although he was not heard from after
the time he reached his destination
and lived there until several
months ago, when, while walking near
the river in Portland, he was seized
from behind and placed on board YES
sci, which set sail for England that
night. He was then subjected to the
most brutal treatment and was nearly
starved In due time the vessel arrived
at Plymouth, but he was not liberated,
and it was only after waiting for con
siderable time that an opportunity
offered itself for him to mail a letter
cantaining the facts. Mr.. Richardson
has placed the matter in the hands OF
his attorneys here, who will endeavol
to have the boy released Immediately.

Away---Other Court Cases.
An action for an amicable settlement
of plaintiffs title to certain property in
Ramsey county has been begun by
Mary Manser, of Bennington, VT,
against the heirs of the late Judge E. G.
Palmer. The plaintiff was an old ac-
quaintance of Judge Palmer, and was
the owner of the property involved. In
July, 1857, Judge Palmer, at her re-
quest. paid s163 to wipe out several tax
titles on the property for her, but to do
this it was necessary for her to give a
Quitclaim deed. inadvertently the mat
ter was never thoroughly settled, and
the property passed to the heirs of
Judge Palmer. Mrs. Manser brings the
suit to enable her to pay back the
money expended and secure title to the
land.

HALEY TIMES: "Excelsior," the
Bernard pup which Captain Matt.
Graham sent from England to H.
Bews, of the Merchants Hotel, year
ago, has grown rapidly. Although
but Is months old he is already 2Sa
inches high at the shoulder, and
promises to excel even his sire,
Plnlimmon, who stands 354 inches
high at the shoulder, weighs 22O
pounds, is the largest dog IN the
world, and sold recently for $1,000!
Although thoroughbred and very
aristocratic pup, Excelsior is not
proud. That is to say, he allows any
decent-looking man to pet him, anc
even permits common dogs to look a
him with complacency. 1t is to'
comical to see him standing on th'
sidewalk with eyes half-shut, seem
;ngly buried in thought, while half
DOZEN ours of low degree walk aroun'
or look at him respectfully, from
safe distance. Then, too, he is gen
tie as a lamb, and a great favorlt
with school children, who walk up t
him without hesitation, and pat hlr
on the back or neck, and even ro
and play with him in the snow.

RICHARD Roe, Sec.
Chairman

WEIsER LEADER: The prospect Of
building the wagon road to Warrens
the coming season is now better than
ever. At last accounts from Mr..
Thomas Norcross he had subscriptions
in money, provisions and work to TIE
amount of $500, raised in Council
valley and Hornet creek alone. If
each neighborhood i'll the county do
mates as literally as this according to
population and means, there will be
no trouble about securing plenty OF
means to construct a good wagon
road. The managers of the Union
Pacific railroad have been written to
regarding the matter, and knowing
their liberalty toward all improve
ments for the public good, it is ex-
pected that the company will donate
a liberal sum. There is ore thing
certain, and that is the fact that the
men who have undertaken the War
rens road project will not give the
idea up until loaded teams will be
passing over the road to and from that
rich mining district.

the timbers are all framed for the

before the frame can be raised. He
SAYS the work is all first. class in ev-
cry respect, and that S. N. Mahan,
the architect, is master of his profes-
sion, as the work will show. He also
says the masonry work is in charge
of skillful hands. Mr.. Morrell, being
an expert worker in wood, and a
good judge of fine work, knows what
he is talking about. He speaks in
complimentary terms of the good
treatment strangers receive out there
from the Silverites, who take them in,
give them comfortable quarters, and
take pleasure in providing for the
general comfort of the weary traveller
on his arrival. He says the COM
pany's boarding house, under the
management of Patrick Moriarty
furnishes as good meals as can be had
either here or in Boise City. Mr.
Morrell says the mea out there have
done a great amount of work this
winter, considering the bad weather
and the many disadvantages they
have had to work under, as is nat
urallv the case in all isolated new
mining camps.

The Basin is the best point, being

Your Committee on "Danpers
Ahead" beg to call your attention to
the following facts: First.-We Wis
tied the mouth of the Columbia River
and found that bar has there been
formed which in the near future will
be disastrous to not only Idaho, but
the whole Northwest. Imagine the
consequences when the Columbia
River is no longer able to receive and
carry off the waters of Snake River.
The mere mention of it is enough.
We Immediately teleg-aphed to
Washington. After careful examina-
tion we are satisfied that the whole
trouble has come from the Cotton
wood near Boise City. The amount
of the obstruction and the character
of the materials composing it, dem
onstrate that it could have been form
ed in no other way. We telegraph
ed!

Your committee returned by the
way of Snake River, and were start
led by the discovery of deep laid
plot Of Washington and Nevada poll
ticians to get away with all our north
ern counties, and possibly the whole
Territory. The plan is this, and is
nearly completed 1t is well known
that Snake River, for long distance,
is the western boundary line of the
Territory. Now could this line in
any way be obliterated there would
be no division line between Wash
ington and Idaho, and on legal
technlcality Washington would claim
till she came to a line somewhere,
which would be the western line OF
Montana. 1t is deep laid plan, and
if not successful, the friends of an in
tact Idaho may thank the Board oi
Trade of Boise County, for we al
once sent out rip-roarer telegram te
Washington. To show that our fears
are we'll founded we call attention te
the fact that above Lewiston a large
force are at work BLASTING OUT SNAKE
RIvER!! which will soon be gone il
the waters of Boise River can be dis
posed of. Now see: The Board O
Trade of Boise City are encouraging
every means of diverting its water:
to the great plains of the Snake Val
lev, so the main feeder of Snake is, o.
will be gone. Who can not see tha
the Boise City Board of Trade il
planning to annex Nevada to South
ern Idaho, with Boise City as the cap

suggest that full report be draw
up and forwarded at once to our Del
