Having more time than money"
l thought a few Items from the
Future Great" or Second Chi
cage" would be acceptable,
Price Rane has returned from
Idaho City.
Jas. Wardwelrs mill has shut
down for the season.
Frank Davis has moved out on
John Williams ranch.
May Reed is visiting her friend
Mrs. Taylor, at Payette, this week.
Mr.. Aaron Bascom, one of our
merchants, lost a valuable cow a
few days ago.

Washington Territory, where he
owns a ranch.
I. V. R. Witt came home few
days ago from Boise City. He ex-
poets 10 remain here permanently.

next spring.
Reed & Taylor are going to start
to the timber next week with a
crew of men to cut logs for Rossi &
Company.
Mrs. Abe Ireton, of lower Squaw
Creek is seriously i'll. A Caldwell
doctor was called. We have not
learned the nature of her illnees as
yet.
Mr.. Ralet Barbaur, of upper
Squaw Creek, is not expected to live
at last accounts; having been hit on
the head with break lever while
hauling lumber.
Alex. Womack has built a new
blacksmith shop and will soon be
ready to pound iron. Mr.. Womack
has been sick for several days but
is able to be at work now
Work on the Last Chance"
ditch has boen commenced again,
and it will be pushed to the Freeze
out" inside of six weeks, that is if [
am correctly informed.
Postmaster No. 2 came to Emmett
one day last week in the shape of a
ten pound boy, to Mr.. and Mrs.
Hammersly. Hammersly thinks
that he will be able to take a vaca-
ton now from his official duties.
Myself and family had the honor
of a serenade from the Crane Greek
Martial Band, a few days ago. 1t
made us think of the days of 81
when every boy had a tin whistle
and a drum. Call again gentle
men.
H. II. Fulton's stage team got
away from the driver at Payette
last Saturday morning. They
made it lively in town for a little
while and used the hack up consid
cradle, but accidents will happen
in the best of regulated families.
Last Friday while VIM. Fuller
and Walt. Wilson were fooling with
loaded revolver it went off and
the ball went through Wilson's foot.
The wound is quite painful but with
care he will get along all right. It
will probably learn them to be more
careful in the future.
We have been told that the "big"
or high line ditch is to be taken out
this fall sure. We have heard the
same old chestnut for the last
five years and no water yet. We
hope that the committee on irriga-
ton will do their level best and get
us government aid; and we will
ever pray, etc.
Boys, hereafter when you go into
somebody else's garden for water
MELONS, leave your horses" on the
outside as then you will not tramp
and destroy other vegetables. We
know the guilty parties, and if
caught at any more pranks of that
kind they will wish-''but a word
to the wise" -
We are happy to announce to the
many friends of Hon. J. M. Martin,
B. F. Salmon and L. B. Lyon, that
they have returned from a months
outing" in the wilds of Idaho.
There is no doubt but what they
have had very good time, and are
full of stories about bear, wildcats
and SIGH, but then we have not seen
them yet and when we do will copy
right everything they may have in
yarns" for THE TRIBUNE.
