A Ma. wanted for Perjury.

B. c. Duniway, father Of Willis S.
and Ralph Dun,way, has evidently
reached y similar conclusion to that
of the Pennsylvania Quakers during
the war, to-wit: that they we're going
to have peace if they had to fight for
it. They have been greatly annoyed
and tormented in various ways by
jumpers or would.be Jumpers, who
have not hesitated to call upon the
strong arm of tho law to aid them.
One OF these men-C. g. Logan
was, however, too eager. So he did
not hesitate to swear that Mr.. Duni-
way. Senior, took active part in a
certain alleged assault, although the
gentleman was not within several
miles of the locality. He has there
fore preferred a charge of perjury
against Mr.. Logan, and an officer left
here this afternoon to arrest him.

about completed, and work com.
mencsd on the Gimlet bridge. All
who have seen the new bridge say
that it is absolutely safe, in every
respect, and that it is worth more than
all the other bridges in the county
put together.
In the TIMES report Of the meeting
OF the Bandana club, in this city a
few weeks ago, it was stated that Is
had been allowed Mr.. Batten for ex-
penses to and from Ketchum, to ad.
dress the club. Mr.. Batten says tina,
be did not charge = cent; that he is
not small enough for that. The state.
ment was there fore incorrect.

ONE OF KETCHUM'S SIGHTS.
How Captain Baxter's Originality
Found Expression on His Hotel.

tOuR0 expression On MS nOtei.
One of the most striking sights
which greets the visitor to ketchum,
is vast establishment which is painted
in such way as to remind one of the
principal industry Of the country. 1t
is Baxter's Hotel-a name which is
synonymous for comfort. elegance
and good cheer.
The body of the house is painted a
golden yellow, the trimmings a ruby
red, and the tree.boxes, which are of
unusual size, a deep green-thus
representing the gold and silver Of
our ores, and the grass found on every
field and hillside. The general effect
is very novel and striking yet pleas
ant.
Perhaps no one in this country be-
sides Captain Baxter would have
thought of such . combination. But
that is the way with him. Being
nothing if not original he is always
looking for something that no one
ever saw or dreamed of before. 1t il
said tina. he gave so much thought te
tho selection of colors for his house
that he devoted al his spare time te
it during the past two years.
