The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1889-05-04
IDAHO UEW&.

Blackfoot News The republican
territorial central committee which
met at Pocatello, Monday, unani-
mously endorsed Gov. Stevenson's
statehood proclamation.
Avalanche: It is said that Gov.
E. A. Stevenson will step down and
out of the Gubernatorial Chair on
Tuesday next, to give place to Col.
George L. Shoup, who will be in
augurated on that day. In doing
so, Governor Stevenson will bear
with him an untarnished reputa-
ton as an officer and q man. Not
only that, but with the reputation
of having made the best governor
that Idaho ever had.
Salubria Citizen: That E. A. Ste
venson has been one of Idaho's
best and most frugal governors is
beyond the reasonable doubt of
any of its citizens. Mr.. Stevenson
assumed the Office Of governor of
Idaho three years ago, and as far
as his dutiee have been exercised
and carried out there is left not a
single doubt but that he has done
them we'll, and with much credit to
his country and its inhabitants.
He is a man of sound judgment
and economy, as one can easily see
by reading his official report of
1888, and an officer whom the peo-
pie are proud to call their governor.
Attorneys, litigants, and in
fact everybody, are we'll pleased
with the administration of justice
by his honor Chief Justice Weir.
The Judge is profound lawyer and
a great lover of justice, and in the
trial Uf cases seeks to get at the
facts in every case to the end that
exact justice may be done. 1t is
rumored here that Delegate Dubois
and Pride are trying to have the
Judge removed and one Harris, of
Haley appointed in his stead. We
sincerely hope that their nefarious
schemes will not meet with success.
Recorder: The Indian Inspector
and Gov. Shoup will meet the In
dams at Lemhi Agency on May I'd,
when they will vote as to whether
they will remove to the Fort Hall
Agency or not. The police are out
after the Indians and they expect
to have the entire tribe, numbering
600, on hand at that time.-The
smelter at Nicholia is running only
one stack at present, but will fire
up another in the near future.
Caldwell Tribune: If the word Of
many reputable republicans of this
territory can be relied upon, the
Hon. D. B. P. Pride is unfit to hold
any position of trust, but he Car
prefer charges with as good effect
as though he was the personifica
ton of virtue, as many of the dis
comfited territorial Office seekers
can testify. Pride's fine work ir
Washington this month made the
nomination of Jos. Pinkham, fol
marshal, impossible, and aspirants
for several other positions are feel
ing the weight of his fine Italian
hand"
Register: A frightful tragedy &C.
CURED near Blackfoot on Tuesday
last in which two brothers, John
and Dick Watson, who own ranches
on the west side of the river from
Blackfoot, were the participants
There has been very little brotherly
love existing between them for some
time, and last Tuesday they had 8
quarrel over some water right which
resulted in Dick slashing John over
the head with an ak, breaking hi
skull and otherwise injuring him
Little hopes are entertained of hi
recovery.-There is a great scar
city of water in the Lost River
country. There is no water in thu
river tor hVo miles above ArCO.
