Incendiarv Blaze,

At 2 o'clock Tuesday morning
the neighborhood southeast of
Main street was aroused from its
slumbers by shouts of sire /" and
in the course of ten or fifteen min
utes from the first alarm, sounded
on the church bell, the male ele-
ment of the community might have
been seen arrayed in real old Mo
dock fashion around the old China
cabin on the southeast corner of
First street and Leadville avenue.
The fire was under good Roadway
when first reached, and would have
made a superb bondfire for an anti
Chinese celebration, incident to the
ensuing campaign. 1t carried away
the last vestige of the original Chi
ma town, whence the "moon-eyed
celestials of the fowery kingdom
long since departed-driven away
it is said, by a superstition among
themselves that the internal regions
would some day yawn and swallow
them whole. The fire department
ran to the end of its rope, and aftel
many lucid vociferations on tn,
part of the foremen, succeeded il
throwing a good deal of wind ant
little mud on the ground abou
fifty feet from the building. Th'
firemen, however, discharged thei
duties manfully, as the nozzle wa
at all times pointed at the fire, ant
the clank of the pumps up tow
was conclusive evidence that tn
citizens who had reached that poin
imagined they were suppressing tn
flames. The fire evidently was in
cendiary, as the house was unoccu
pied and stood clear of any ada
cent buildings. 1t was the propert.

A Mystery Solved.

Early this spring the bones of
two murdered Cinnamon were
found on Snake river, just across
from Idaho, in Wallowa county,
Oregon, where Chinese company
was known to have been working
large force in the placer mines.
The entire outfit had unaccountably
disappeared, and the discovery of
these bones was the only clue to
the mystery. Since that time, de-
tectives have worked earnestly to
ferret out the ease, and the success
of their efforts will be understood
from the following article which we
take from the Idaho County Free
Press:
A party Of men consisting of Bruce
Evans, J. T. Garfield, Homer LaRue, Rob-
ert Mcmillan, Carl Hughes, Ii. Maynard
and Frank Vaughn, of Wallowa, entered
into an agreement last spring now nearly
year ago, to murder these Chinese min
ers for the gold dust which they thought
they possessed, and agreed that if any of
the party divulged it the rest should kill
him. Hughs did not like the idea of
committing the deed at all, and would
have no hand in the matter, but at this
time was stopping with the parties who
committed the deed.
AS near as we can learn, about year
ago now, al! the men named above, ex-
cept Hughs, went down to the Chinese
camp and opened. fire on them, killing
them all, ten in number, and then put the
bodies of all except two into the boat
which the Cinnamon had, and scuttled it.
They then secured all the money and
gold dust they could find. amounting to
between $4,000 and $4,000, which was
given to Garfield to sell for coin, and af-
ter he got possession of it he skipped the
country, and the rest of the party got
nothing.
The grand jury of Wallowa county
took hold of the matter, but of course il
is not known just what they found out
but Vaughn has made confession which
is substantially in accord with the above
AS we published last week, Hughes, Nc
MILAN and Maynard are under arrest
and will no doubt be tried. Vaughn
having turned states evidence will be held
as a witness against the others. Garfield
and LaRue have long left the country
1t was at first thought that the murder:
were committed on the Idaho side o.
Snake river, in which event Idaho county
would have had to stand the expense o
what promises to be costly and unsatis
factory trial of the alleged murderers.

the PRIDE OF IDAHO.
A Fine Property that Sold at Small
Consideration.

"Well, boys" said J. w. Dawson
as he came out Of the First National
Bank with the proceeds Of his min
ing sale last week, "I've sold one
of the best mines in Idaho for moth
ing. The people around here
wouldn't believe me when I told
them what | had, and / couldn't
get anybody interested enough to
even go and look at the mine.
Well, it's their loss and my gain
after all, and as it turns out Ivt,no
kick 10 make. Judge Lewis has
been friend to me, but when /
offered the Judge half of my mine
last fall for $4,000 Gust enough to
pay my debts, you know, and get
those fellows clutches off of me
he wouldn't take it. 1t was n little
satisfaction to me to tell the Judge
to-day that he was $4,000 loser in
the game, though he never took a
hand. Of course, mans judg-
ment doesn't always serve him
right, but ! knew what l had and
was willing, under the circumstan.
ces, to sacrifice it. Yes, boys, III
tell you what, the Pride is a daisy
mine. Why, l left three feet o
solid ore in the lower works, ex
posed beautifully, and my last work
in the Pride was to knock dowr
three wheelbarrow loads of first
class ore in twenty minutes by my
watch. ! left her IN fine condition
but had given my word and bond
to these gentlemen, and couldn't
go back on it. The new company
is going to make a fortune out O.
her, and hope they will make 6
big one" Mr.. Dawson informs the
KEYSTONE that he intends to begir
the development of another pros
pect at once, and is confident o
producing another mine equally a!
good as the Pride within a year O.

THE SALMON RIVER BRIDGE.
Its Construction a. Good q Assured in
the Near Future.

Mr.. T. w. Gillette, cur enterpris-
ing hardware merchant and county
commissioner, who has at all times
been untlagging in his endeavors
for the promotion of the best in
terests of Wood River, both as a
citizen and public officer, returned
last Monday from an important
visit to Omaha, where he went in
behalf of the people here to solicit
the aid and cooperation of the
Union Pacific railway company in
the construction ofthe much-needed
wagon road to the Sheep mountain
country. Mr.. Gillette's interview
with Vice President Kimball was
very satisfactory, and resulted in
Mr.. Kimball's expressing himself
favorable to the proposition. Mr..
Kimball is gentleman who has
shown himself to be thoroughly in
sympathy with the interests of this
section of Idaho, as he possibly
sees here the latent resources which
are destined to swell in magnitude
an hundred fold, and give his road
a corresponding increase of bust
ness in these parts. The road in
question will extend through and
develop one of the most extensive
and promising mineral bearing re-
gions in the Rocky mountains, and
throw deal of traffic to Wood
River and the Union Pacific rail
way. This is the only natural out
let of the Sheep mountains, Lower
Salmon river and Seafoam coun-
tries, and nature has already pro-
vided wagon road which needs
but little improvement and some
good bridges. The bridges are what
will cost the money, and the con-
struction of these has already been
volunteered by parties interested
in that section, with the exception
of the one main bridge across the
Salmon river a few miles below
Sawtooth. Four of the leading
mining companies of the Sheep
mountain district have subscribed
$500 each to carry the road from
the Buckskin mine to- their camp
and other parties in the Salmon
valley have subscribed sufficient to
carry the road, bridges and all
from the Mountain House tc
Whites ranch, leaving only a min.
imum of work to be accomplished
The expense of this has, in meas
ure, been assured by subscription
here, and county assistance, anc
$1,000 from the railroad company
will supply the deficiency. We arr
pleased to say that the acquisition
of that amount now seems quit,
probable. The excitement in tn,
new district still continues unabateC
and it is safe to estimate immigra
ton this season at two or tire
thousand prospectors. Wood Riv
critics await the result with expec
fancy and vertically believe it vii

learn that he has made his very
great desire for blackboard known
in Bellevue, Haley, Challis and
other points. He made a final eff
fort to secure the much coveted
blackboard in Ketchum before de-
parting for Challis, having applied
with his dead mothers watch"

to disappointment. He was more
