He is still practicing medicine in a
quiet kind of way, weary of life and yet
fearing to die and go where his patients
| are.
He had a sabre wound on one cheek
that gave him ferocious appearance.
He frequeRtly alluded to how he used to
mix up in the carnage of battle, ana hcv
he used to roll up his pantaloons and
wade in gore. He said that if the tocsin
OF war should sound even now, or If he

arms and make tyrenny tremble till its

A Dash for Liberty.

A Pocatello correspondence to
the Salt Lake Tribune, dated July s.,
says:
"At o'clock this evening, as the
guard at Blackfoot Jail was taking
supper to Williams and Wood, the
two men condemned to hang on the
21st, Williams made dash through
the cell door past the guard and,
Selling big bread knife, made the
guard give up the keys. Both Will
liams and wood made their escape
after locking up two of the guards.
The alarm was soon raised and par
ties started in pursuit. Williams
came to two Indians and wanted to
buy one of their horses. The In
dians talked a moment with him,
then leveled their guns on him and
marched him back to Jail. This
happened some two or three hours
after the escape. The Indians are
searching for Wood, the negro, and
will capture him if he does not
throw himself into the river, which
it is thought likely he may do. This
escape of the men seals their doom
and removes all hope of clemency,
which some of the friends OF Wood
were working for.

but the facts were obtained from the
managing owner.-Iimcs.
All, the mystery is cleared. When
the Times stated last week that the
OWNERS were about to shut down
the Ophir and Yankee Blade mines
the KEYSTONE interposed by saying
that the LEssEEs were about to shut
down, as the properties have been
under lease for some time. But the
mention of the managing owner in
this later item of the Times explains
that papers very natural mistake as
Mr.. Murdoch, the managing owner,
is also party to the lease, having
joined the lessees and leased the
other interests of the mine.

kETCnUn As A SUMMER RESORT.
The Favorite Corner of Idaho for the
Health-Seeker and Sportsman.

The pamphlet on Idaho, recently
published by the Union Pacific, in
speaking of the superior induce
ments offered by this territory to
the health-seeker, tourist and sports
man, truthfully says:
| North of Shoshone about City miles,
the Wood River branch OF the Oregon
Short Line enters the great Wood River
region. HALEY and Kelchum. located In
the heart Of this region, probably arrive
MS near to all THESE requirements of the
tourist aud health seeker MS any of the
resorts Of Idaho. They are only twelve
miles apart 10y rail, both picturesquely
located. on the banks of Wood River,
Haley at an altitude of $500 feet and
Ketchum about 500 feet higher.
ketchum combines many attractions
for the summer visitor. There is choice
of several streams atfording superb trout
fishing. Pleasant drives lead into sur
rounding mountains in all directions, anu
the summer climate Is all that could be
desired The Guyer Hot Springs, how
ever, gre the great attraction at ketchum.
They are located In u most romantic nook.
about two miles from ketchum, ON the
banks OF Warm Springs creek. An inn
mense volume OF water here bursts from
many crevices in the rocks, at a tempera-
lure of about $50 degrees, and where not
confined, drops III many pretty falls into
the creek, some twenty feet below. These
springs are especially applicable to the
cure ut rheumatism, and the long train
OF diseases leu Ny or intimately associa-
ted with dyspepsia, govt, liver com
plants and impurities of The blood.
Ncrth OF Ketchum twenty five miles is
the wonderfully rugged Sawtooth region,
SO named on account OF the abruptnesS
of the mountain range, which is its CEN
trai figure. 1t is the ideal camping out"
corner OF Idaho. Hundreds yearly avail
themselves of its surprising attractions
in the way of enchanting lakes, towering
snow capped mountains, trout streams
and hot springs. The trip from Ketchum
is one of continued delight, and every
thing in the way Of an outfit can he pro-
cured at that place. An exhllarating at
mosphere aud healing waters, in the midst
OF noble pines and enchanting scenery,
fishing, hunting, riding aud exploring,
and excellent hotel accommodations, an
ever fruitful field for the mind in the
mining, milling and railway enterprises /;
these, together with an easy accessibility,
are a few Of the attributes which in the
future will render Keichum one Of the
most popular Of Rocky Mountain resorts.
The pamphlet contains an ex-
haustive treaties on our attractive
surroundings, many industrial adj
vantages and mineral wealth, much
of which we should gladly repro
duce in the KEYSTONE but for the
want of space.

Democratic Central Committee.

At the meeting Of the dem ocratic
county central committee held in
HALEY on the 18th instant the fol-
lowing citizens were selected to rep
resent the county democracy in the
territorial convention at Boise: O.
B. Batten, w. G. Lane, l.. Young.
Thos. McNarey, J. II. Miller, John
Winkenbaugh, John Condron, Ii.
O. Billings and John Daugherty.
September 9Th was the date fixed
for the primary elections and We'd
nesday, September 18th, for the
county convention. The grand act
of the committee consisted In the
choice of Ketchum as the place for
the convention. No little effort was
required to carry the point and the
citizens here are indebted to the
.abors of Jerome f. Jacobs and
Patrick Mcmahon for its final sue
cess. The selection of a place for
the county convention has always
been a stirring question with the
committee, and upon this occa-
sion that body is deserving of con-
gratulations. Our neighbors on the
River were especially generous in
awarding us the honor and did it
without contention-a fact we shall
not forget.
The county has 81 delegates to
the convention, appointed at the
rate of one for every thirty con-
stituents of the party. Following
is the apportionment on the River ::
Ketchum 5, HALEY 8, Bellevue 8,
Shoshone 6. This is indeed pretty
meagre showing for Ketchum and
compares but poorly with the num-
Der of delegates allowed in 1886.

ORE AND BULLION SHIPMENTS.
Ramshorn, Clayton and Skylark Via
Ketchum Since May 7th.

The Ramshorn Mining and Smelt-
ing Company at Bayhorse has ship
ped through the Ketchum Fast
FreightLine, since May 7th eighteen
carloads of base bullion, weight
438,247 pounds, and one carload of
Ramshorn ore, 1852 pounds, con
signed to the Pennsylvania Lead
Company at Mansfield, Pa. A. J.
Crook & Co., of Clayton, have ship
ped during the same time eleven
carloads of bullion weighing 249 1853
pounds, and nine carloads of Sky
lark ore, 236,8O5 pounds. Thus
the base bullion shipments from
Custer county, via Ketchum, in
sixty days, were twenty-nine car
loads weighing 6S7,71O pounds, and
the total ore shipments, 264,O57 /; to-
tai ore and bullion, $751; pounds,
or about 100000 pounds per week,
all of which has been promptly de-
livered to the railroad at this point
in about that amount weekly. Most
of this bullion was on hand when
shipping began and consequently
the shipments to date have been
greatly in excess of the current yield
of the works, especially in the case
of the Ramshorn Company. The
assertion, therefore, that the trans
portation facilities of the Ketchum
Fast Freight Line were inadequate
to the regular product of the works
at Bayhorse will be disproven by
glance at the above figures. All
the ore and bullion offered for ship
ment by the several concerns in
that county has been thoroughly
CLEANED up" to date, including the
winters accumulation. Perhaps
third of the heavy teams employed
by that line in the transportation
of freight to the points mentioned
are now returning Eight" or empty.
Teams arrive and depart at this
place daily with the regularity of
railroad trains and deliver all
freights to their respective destina-
tons, as promptly bringing out the
current bullion and ore product for
shipment east. Hereafter the KEY
STONE will publish weekly state
ments of the ore and bullion ship
mentS.
