Sunday night Frank Boucher, a livery

turned four mules and q horse into a small
corral tadjoining his stable on the EAST
There is nothing strange about that, be.
cause nearly everyone who has an animal
OF any kind does the same thing when he is
fortunate enough to possess q corral.
Monday morning the gate wal wide open
and the animals gone. AS the gate had
been securely fastened the night before. the
first thought that entered Mr.. Boucher's
mind wa that the animals had been stolen.
He Immediately saddled up two horses he
had in the stable and sent two men with
them after the thieves. At Silver Bow
trace OF the mules was obtained, and the
travel Of one mile further rewarded the
searchers. The person or persons who
took them were not to be found. however,
and the belief is that the stock was ridden
as far as Silver Bow and then abandoned.

The Boise Basin Country Being Denuded
of Its Fine Timber.
A correspondent from Boise City, Idaho,
says: Few people can have q correct
idea OF the losses to Idaho from the many
fires in the timber. The country known
as Boise Basin is one OF the best tim.
bered regions in the territory. This tim.
Der consists OF large and small pine and FIR
trees, such as make the best kind Of lum.
Der and mining timber.
Besides covering the basin country,
this timber extends up and over the
Sawtooth range, takes in the country on
the South, Middle and North Boise river,
and, in fact, reaches over to the Salmon,
Big and Little Wood rivers and the upper
Lost river. Fires appear to be raging
over a very large portion OF the country
named.
"There is not only a loss OF all the tim.
Der burned, but il leaves the country
blackened and barren, which condition
will no doubt greatly affect the amount OF
snow and rainfall, and hence seriously
affect the climate by making it more arid.
