HALEY INTER-IDAHo: The board
of trade of Boise City has sent
lengthy protest to Delegate Dubois
against the passage of the right of way
of the Boise Basin bedrock hume COM
pany. 1t is argued that a flume in
the creeks of the basin would send
large quantities of debris into BOISE
river, cause it to overflow, and do great
damage to the agricultural interests
of Boise valley. Such might prove
to be the case, but we hardly think so.
Continuous and extensive placer
mining for the past 26 years has prov
en- that the sands do not enter Boise
river in sufficient quantities to cause
any perceptible rise in the bed. That
bedrock fume enterprise is one that
would build up our neighboring
counties to the west more rapidly
than anything that is now being pro-
iected. But, if it can be shown that
the agricultural interests would suffer
from accumulation of debris, let a
clause be inserted in the bill before

ANTOINE BEssETTE.

SALT LAKE TRIBUNE; 1t is pleas
ure to note that Hon. Fred Dubois is
doing in Congress just what his friends
expected he would do when he was
elected to that position. He is pressing
needed legislation and is contesting
at every step the attempt to draw the
protection of Statehood around the
theocraoy, which, with Statehood,
would govern this Territory with a
rule intolerable to residents not of the
faith, and incompatible with the genius
of free institutions. Our interests
are so allied with that of Idaho that
Mr. Dubois is half our Delegate. We
expect he will do just as faithful work
for US as though be had been sent
from here, for, on the main question,
what he does is as much, almost, for
his own Territory as for ours. We
suspect, too, that he will see the in
iquity of the bill which proposes to
unload upon US horde of Colorado
savages, and that he will effectively
explain to his brother members why
such a bill should not become a law.
He is young; he is warmed by an
honorable ambition to make a name
by doing well what has been en-
trusted to him to do, and it is a plea
ure to The Tribune that the endorse
ment to him which it gave year ago
last summer is being vindicated by
the way he preforms his duties.

JACK NEwcoMB, who it was believ-
ed had murdered Jess Bottcher, was
arrested last Sunday at Mountain
Home. Nelse Bottcher, Jesse's broth
er, who accompanied the Sheriff to
Mountain Home, writes to his uncle,
Jas. J. Marsk, Of this place, that New
comb stated that he had left Jesse
somewhere in Oregon, ''fat broke
and stated further that he had pawn
ed Jesse's watch for So. On learning
that Bottcher was in Pendleton, Ore
gon, Newcomb was acquitted on the
charge of murder, but was held for
robbery. Jess had $500, and there is
no doubt, from what we learn, that
Newcomb is guilty of robbery of the
lowest kind. There is one feature of
the case, which for certain reasons we
will not mention, that makes the rob-
Der, if he IS such, the lowest in the
scale Of human degradation. New
combs examination was set for yes
terday.

A Woman Brutally Outraged.

CHIPPEWA FALLS. Wis, February G.
Mrs. Sadie Tibbits, Of Eau Claire, came to
this city several nights ago to visit friends
and attend ball. Early in the evening
she started for the depot, and while passing
an alley was seized by a man, who smoth-
cred her cries and dragged her into build
ing near by. She was locked in dark
room and assaulted by three men. all of
of whom, she SAYS she can identify. She
was kept there all night, and allowed to de-
part in the morning, when she took the rirst
train 10 Eau Claire.
Her husband was in the woods at the
time. but after his return she told the ter
ribie story. When it came out the greatest
excitement prevailed, and hundreds of
coniectures were made as TO the men who
assaulted her. 1t is now believed that one
of them is . horse dealer. and that Mrs.
Tibbitts was taken into his barn, which is
near the business center. and that the sec
ond man is young clerk who has several
times been a party TO disgraceiul scenes
There is a great deal Of doubt as to the
