lSIT PANTHER or TlGER7
An Animal that is Providing
Around the Country Fright
ening People Out of Their
Wits, Killing Calves, Dogs,
and Fowls.

One day last week Mr.. r. A.
Morgan lost two fue yearlings that
he had turned into field on Messy
Creek. When he went out to look
for them he found one in the edge
OF the swamp dead, and a portion
of its hind quarter gone. The 9th.
err was lying near by with its back
broken, one eye out and the body
lacerated as If some huge wild cars
miriverous animal had killed it,
The tracks around the carcassts re.
semblel those of the panther or
tiger.
Mr.. B. H. Hasty next reports
be ng visited by some animal that
much resembles tiger or panther
1t went to his house one night last
week, killed three geese before he
could get out 10 see what was caus>
ing the racket. He went out with
his gun in hand and when the ani>
NAL saw him it ran and mounted
ten rail fence as easily as though it
was but FIVE rails high. He fred
on it but does not know what effect
the shot had. He says it was long
er and larger than a large dog,
held its head very erect and had a
long tail.
1t next went to Mr.. Pate Smiths
place and jumped on his dog.
When Mr.. Smith went to his dogs
rescue the unknown intruder made
for him. He fred at him twice
and ran back into his house. The
dog was worsted in the difficulty
and nearly frightened to death.
1t next went to a negroes house
on Mr.. Bigelow's place, where two
dogs were killed and a third one
left in wrecked state.
The last named place is only
TWO MILES SOUTH OF THE CITY,
On last Saturday night it was
seen at the tan yard creek, in the
edge of town. The man who | st
saw it said that it is Enthusiastically
a panther.

THE BUTCHERS LOVE.

BY THE AUTHOR OF tsCAT."
A butcher loved a tender maidr
To WOO her were his designs;
And he sent her copies Of Gushing

In fact, real teR3erIoins-
! The girT. aEasl he could not suet,
She would love him as brother,
But when irnptored to marry, said !:
''Trpe-please, and find another
The butcher still pursued the girl,
His pleas became much holder,
The girl at last, to find relief,
Gave to him cold shoulder.
He knew then that his hopes were
vain,
But as he left, he said:
"SiAee you have caused me such
} distress,
I'll hauneh you wheH Fra dead /"
He pined and grew so thin and pale
He felt his end was nigh;
But his woe was such, he did not
know
Whether to liver die.
IIe tried to drink to drown his cares
And there found no relief.
But daily grew more woe-he-gone,
You never sausage grief.
At last his weary sonld found rest,
His sorrows now are Ger;

SHOOK OFF THIS MORTAL cos.


Last Wednesday afternoon Sheriff
Havird went up to the ranch Of + p
I" Pete y Larson to look after the
property, which is under attachment
and in charge of James Weston. who
had been living with deceased for
several weeks. Deceased had been
drinking heavily of late, which was
undoubtedly owing to financial en-
oarrass'nent and Encouragement,
and when Sheriff Havird arrived he
was asked how he felt. "Dead. y
was the prompt and only reply. He
arose from bed and in few moments
lad down again. Havird and Yves.
ton then went to the barn, not over
iifty yards distant, to look after the
property and attend to the horses.
Returning to the house in probably a
i't'ie over live minutes they opened
the itchen door and smelled powder
smoke. Havird then went into the
bedroom, where he found deceased
lying across the bed with Ballard
A calibre rife by his side. He was
still breathing, but unconscious. He
had placed the muzzle of the rife
against the breast bone and fred.
The ball passed straight through,
coming out on one side of the spine
and entered the wall. The charge
tore a large hole through his body,
which was badly powder burned, and
he breathed only for few minutes.
Havird nor Weston heard the shot,
which probably did not make much
of report, as the muzzle of the gun
was evidently held tight to his breast.
Deceased was an upright, honora-
BILE citizen, and has many friends in
this county, where he had resided
since 1875, having come here from
California.
He was native of Sweden and
80 years of age. An uncle resides
somewhere in Pennsylvania and two
brothers in Minnesota
The funeral took place from the
county court house yesterday, at 4
o'clock, and the services, which took
place at the cemetery, were con-

GOV. SHOUP'S ALTON.

Governor Shoup's proclamation, re-
ceived at this office few days ago,
recommending that delegates be
elected to constitutional convention
on the first Monday in June, as pro-
claimed IN call issued by Gov. Ste
venson, is very able document, and
sets forth many advantages that will
come with statehood. The procla-
nation is very long, therefore we
give only the most salient points, in
the form of figures, showing the in
creased cost of a statehood govern
ment over our Territorial government,
and the dowry promised by Congress
when Idaho becomes a state, which
greatly outweighs the burdens that
will be imposed under statehood.
A brief statement of facts IN con-
nection with this question will be
useful for reference. The Genera
Government now pays for the sala'
ries of the Governor and Secretary
and certain other contingent expens-
es, including rent, $4,000 per year
for salaries of Judges, $4,000; and
for biennial expenses of the General
~,
Assembly, including printing the
laws and journals, $4,000. Reduc-
| ing the latter item to an annual ex-
pense. we find the General Govern,
ment paying for the support of Idaho
the sum of s2S,000 per year. The
other Territorial expenses, met by
our own taxpayers, average annual
ly the sum of $4,000.
The Territory now pays In full, the
salaries of the following officers, to-
wit:
Attorney General, Controller, Treas
urer, Superintendent of Public In
struction, employees of Capitol build
ing Directors and Attaches of Insane
Asylum, Prison Commissioners Ii
brarian, portion of the attaches o.
the Legislative Assembly, incidenta
expenses attendant on the same; ane
to each county attorney IN the Terri
tory, $500 per annum.
The collections for the year ending

SWEET PosroFFIcE, Nav IL, 1889.
FRIEND CHARLEs:- Times are dull
and news scarce, but | will send you
what few items 1 could scare up with
out the aid of detective.
We have had an abundance of
rain down in this country. We be-
gan to think the great Keynes reser-
voir had "busted," the way it came
down. Commenced Friday and nev-
er let up till Monday.
The valley looks more like Gods
country this spring than it has for
ten years. Grass is knee high and
the gram looks splendid The way
barley looks pork will be five cents a
pound and lager beer fifteen cents a
gallon, and if John Reagan comes
down and harvests his rye and makes
it into Irish disturbance, why l think
a poor man might live.
The fruit has not been killed by the
frosts, as was thought sometime ago.
Immigrant teams still keep pour
ing into Long valley. If they keep
up the rate they are going at, taking
up ranch will soon be thing of the
past. Mr.. Stuart has gone in with
another large band of cattle. That
makes four or FIVE droves he has tax.
en- into Long valley this spring. ]
think the next drive will be the Board
of Trade, of Boise City, as l don'i
think there is much more left to drive
out.
Cayctes have almost been the
death of the sheep men in these parts
or at least the death of quite mum
ber of sheep, killing from two to
twenty in one night. We know one
man who has lost almost three hun
dred this spring.
There is good deal of improve
ment going on down here this spring
in the way of fencing. The saw mill:
are kept busy.
No more this time. If we have
said anything that somebody dom
like, we are glad of it.
Yours truly,
