lively, got into scrape over some
candy, Wednesday evening, when
the larger one got the smaller one
down and pounded him on the

old daughter met with an accident
that caused her death on Monday
night. The family were in wagon,
mother and father in the front seat
and little girls on seat just be-
hind them. After passing Charlie

came to rough place in the road
and the mother extended her hand

And now comes Haley with a bid
for the removal of the capital to

Wood River News Miner, beginning
with the issue of December LIST, re-
duced to five-column paper. The
Richards boys show good judge
ment in this, and if Bro. Picotte of
the Times would only start tri-
weekly, and the News Miner follow
suit, or even if both would issue
newsy weeklies, they would be bet

two dailies for an Idaho town is
too much, too much!
News-Miner: Sheriff Kinney re-
ceived telegram from Judge Weir
on the 9Th inst. directing him to
adjourn till the Oath inst. Every
move made in regard to the court
seems to be more and more ridicu-
lous. 1t certainly is not very ap-

court open on the Oath there would
be six days in December and nine
in January before the term of the
supreme court sets on the second
Monday of January.

dered two other Cinnamon at Moose
creek on November 18th. The Chi
nese at Elk City and hereabouts
are affecting great activity for the
apprehension of the murderer and
have deposited 5000 with the dis
trict attorney as reward for his
detection and return, and they have
furnished his description to all the
lower country authorities. It seems
certain that he has left the country,
and the Indians say they saw him
making his way down the Clear
water at the time the Chinese swear
he was at Newsome creek. Verify,
