He knows his business.
Remember that the prices
quoted from the Payette Nursery
are only good for one week from
date of same, unless the order is
given within that time. If.
Dan. Wootan's team became
frightened last Thursday night
after the entertainment, kicked the
buggy to pieces, threw he and Miss
| Masterson out, and then started
out to explore the city by star
light. They brought up at the
corral not much the worse for their
run. Fortunately, no one was
hurt.
-Messrs. Shilling, Keisel &
Danilson, of Ontario, have pur-
chased the stock of w. L. Geary &
Co., of the same place, have con-
solidated the two businesses, and
will open up a large distributing
house at Ontario, with branch stores
at Vale and other points. T. T.
Danilson will manage the entire
business.
All parties who intend to plant
trees, berries, or ornamental shrub
berry, and prefer fresh, thrifty,
healthy home grown plants to those
shipped long distances, arriving too
late to plant, will do well to order
at once, SO that we may reserve the
stock for you, and be prepared to
ship when spring opens-Payette
Nursery. IT,
One day last week Mr.. Jasper
Nichols and Miss Catora Shields,
of Lower Boise, while fording the
Boise river on their way to a sur
prise party, were upset and thrown
into the water. They managed to
gain the shore with nothing more
serious than good ducking, and
went on their way rejoicing. And
they were the gayest of the gay at
the party, too.
"A little three-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. B. Young, while
playing with broken beer bottle re-
Gently fell upon the same and cut his
throat. Luckily none of the large
arteries were severed and conse-
quently the wound is not considered
dangerous, unless blood poisoning
from the glass should set in. DIR:
Isham succeeded in stopping hem
orrhage and sewed up the wound.
The little fellow is doing well, but
he is branded for life.
The poor old man was dying.
His good and faithful wife stood at
his bedside and did all in her pow
er to soothe the patient sufferer
and enliven his few remaining
hours. By a herculean effort
the dying man sat up, and draw
ing heavy bag of gold from be-
meath his pillow, he proudly laid
it in his wife's hand and whispered:
Cali this have I saved by buying
my drugs of Isham. With it buy
each of my ten children seat in
the U. S. Senate and start an or
phan asylum with the remainder,
give each orp"-but the wise and
brave soul had flown.
Mr.. John Lindsay, supported
by a frst-class company, gave two
excellent performances to crowded
houses, last Monday and Tuesday
evenings, at the new school house.
The plays were 'Ingomar" and
"Hazel Kirk" and taking the diff
culties under which the show was
given into consideration, could not
have been excelled. The good
turnout upheld the position often
taken by THE TRIBUNE that Cald-
well is a good show town when any,
thing worth going to see comes
along, but she makes it decidedly
rocky for shows of the magic Tan
tern calibre. A first-class minstrel
show would break the town.
-Brunt Young and his bridge
boys were in town several days
this week. The bridge boys have
a unique and novel way of catch
ing coyotes when time hangs heavy
on their hands after work hours.
They have large fish hooks, which
they bate with an enticing piece of
meat, and tie it securely to a tele-
graph pole, just out of reach. Mr..
Coyote, who is "a living allegory of
hunger and want" comes along,
sees square meal on the pole,
makes jump at it, and, presto,
change, he is hung by the jaw and
the boys are making a target of
him from the windows of the out
fit car. Brunt says that some
times they have a coyote strung up
