FOUND DEAD.
Body Of Unknown Man Found Near
Boise CITY.

.@'Ss--
Boise City.
A dead body was found on the
evening of the 10th by 0. A. Nc
Mullen, on the north bank of the
Boise river, about a quarter of a
mile below the bridge opposite this
city. The body was in a sitting
posture and the boots had been pull
ed off, probably before he died.
The head was off the body near by.
The clothes were very rotten and
indicated that he had been dead
three or four months. The position
Of the body and the boots and the
hat which were near by, showed
pretty conclusively that the man
had died where he was found, and
had not fallen into the river and
washed down to this place. There
was nothing in the pockets of the
mans clothes except paper on
which was written the name of VIM.
Gennoli An Italian by that name
herded sheep for Beck Brothers
near Indian Creek last winter, and
also herded sheep for Frank Corbus
and expected to work for Corbus
this summer. The last Corbus
saw of him was on the 18th or Goth
of March last, and it is supposed
he has been dead since then, or
nearly that time. A coroner's jury
was summoned, and brought in a
verdict embracing the above facts.
The body, after the inquest was
buried, on the bank of the river

TALK FROM EMMETT.
News, Facts, and Gossip from the City
of the Butte.

EDITOR TRIBUNE.-As l never see
a copy of your paper, of course |
cannot say whether or not you ever
receive a letter from this place, but
as there are several Knights of the
Quill among our citizens, you doubt
less have a surfeit of news from
here. Any way, if this letter is one
too many, you can easily consign
it to its gentle rest in the yawning
NAV of the waste basket.
News? Why yes, of course, but
it is Sc very scattering that one can
hardly find it. Wardwell's log
drive ended the 3rd inst, and I be-
lieve he considers himself extreme
ly lucky in getting his logs all down
and in having the handsomest and
most gentlemanly crew of loggers
that Emmett has ever known. Just
think Of it! All sober, quiet, young
fellows-and if that isn't some
thing out of the ordinary, don't
know what you call it.
Reeds driveis still some distance
above the Bend, and it is the opin-
| ion of many that it will not get
through this summer.
The celebration here, was, to put it
mildly, slow. The Methodists held
fair in the afternoon, the receipts
of which were sixty-two dollars.
We consider that pretty well for
our poverty-stricken city of Peth.
Our town has had it's number of
weddings this week. VIM. Fuller,
wild Bill, you know has led to
the alter Miss Matte Wilson; and
Jerry Dill has taken to himself a
helpmeet in the person of Mrs.
Wetherholt. The old adage that
''it never rains but it pours," has
certainly proven true this season by
the number of weddings in our
vicinity, and if actions are any
thing to 60 by, some of the welded
ones are too happy. 1 hear that
our genial and fascinating friend,
Sam w. is ION the books" as a flu
ture benedict. The only wonderis
how he has been allowed to stay in
the ranks of bachelors so long.
May l say word about politics?
Would like to, but am afraid, for if
you are republican, you will want
but little of that kind of music
from DEMOCRAT.
