The Idaho Republican of Sho-
shone, published on the 10Th, ar
rived in this city Thursday morn
ing the 26th. The mails are in a
sad condition, or else-why is it
thus.
How is it that the Republican

tello, and yet we are led to believe
by the Herald, that the Republican

The Elmore Bulletin of November
3Oth gives an account Of the hard
ships experienced by Judge Heath
while attempting to make the jour
ney from Rocky Bar to Atlanta last
week, on snowshoes. Though ad-
monished by his friends not to I'M
dertake the trip alone he, however,
started out. The snow was very
deep and of course the Judge made
but slow progress. Night set in
and he had not yet reached the sum-
nit house. He became bewildered
and almost exhausted, and wander
ed around among the thick timber
of that region till daylight, when
he again found the trail and finally
reached shelter at the uninhabited
way-side cabin. Ed. Gaetz, the
mail carrier, fortunately came
along and found Judge Heath en-
deavoring to kindle a fire, but with
out success, as his hands were badly
frozen and he had but little use of
them. Young Gaetz soon had a
good fire burning, and taking a
lunch from Mr.. Heath's pocket,
thawed it out and prevailed upon
him to eat small portion Of it,
which somewhat revived the un-
fotunate man. Gaetz then hurried
on to Rocky Bar to send physician
to the old mans rescue. Immedi-
ately after the facts were known at
Rocky Bar, party Of friends start
ed out to rescue the old gentleman,
some on horseback, while others
followed on snowshoes. When two
of the party reached the cabin they
found that Mr.. Heath had deserted
the cabin and taken the trail for
Atlanta. In short time they over
took. him, the poor old man not
making speed over a quarter of
mile to the hour, and almost help
less, when they placed him upon a
horse and took him into Atlanta,
where DR.. Hall and many kind
friends administered to his wants
Judge Heath's injuries are quite
serious and it is feared that he will
not recover, owing to his extreme
age. Both feet and both hands
were badly frozen, and it seems GER
tain that some of his fingers will
have to be amputated. Judge Heath
is an old-time miner of that section,
widely and favorably known, and
his misfortune will cause pain to
enter the breasts of a great many
warm friends.
