BEDELL CAprUaED.


AS soon as the killing Of Shelton
py bedeil was made known in Boise
CITY on Friday evening last, Sheriff
Robbins proceeded to Star, near
which place the tragedy occurred, ac-
companied by Deputy w. W. Scott.
After taking view of the ground, it
was determined to be best, by giving
notice OF the affair at various points,
to cut off all avenues Of escape. With
this object in view they went to
Kings Ferry, thence to Caldwell. and
from there sent two men to Malheur
From Caldwell they came back to
Star, where they changed horses and
went to Emmett, from there to Horse
shoe Bend, thence to Boise CITY. At
ter remaining here two hours both
Scott and Robbins departed for
Horseshoe Bend IN team, and from
thence to Porter creek, where Bedell
was supposed to be. Bedell had
passed the guard, whose lines were
thin, by some means, but his trail was
struck on Tuesday morning and fol-
lowed all day. He was on foot-so
were the tTailers. There were eight
men in pursuit-Charley Patten, JEFF
Shelton, VIM Palmer, Bill Douglas,
Sheriff Havird and Clark Bates, be-
sides Scott and Robbins. These were
divided up into parties Of two, Rob.
bins and Scott serving as faukers, the
Others keeping the trail. During
Tuesday evening and night Robbins
and Scott visited various ranches, of.
fering $50 reward to any one who
would stop the prisoner if he came te
their house for shelter or food. At
o'clock Wednesday morning Bedel
went to the house of Charley Brown
awoke him and asked for shelter
Robbins and Scott had been there
three or four hours before. He wa
given bed and slept soundly unit
breakfast time, when he arose ant
partook of hearty meal. After h
had left the house Brown and anoth
er man held guns on the prisoner ant
demanded his surrender. He Offered
no resistance while his arms we're tiet
behind him, and few minutes late
he was marched off by Robbins anc
Scott, who were near, and taken t.
Clark's house, where Robbins team
had been left, and from thence driv
en- to town. He was quite talkatlv
upon the way, though tired out ant
nervous. As soon as he was put il
Jail he dropped off into a sleep.
Bedell told Sheriff Robbins in com
ing in that he had the party search
ing for him in sight all of Tuesday
He had a revolver, every barrel G
which was loaded, and cartridges i
reserve.
Robbins and Scott described tn
country over which they passed i
pursuit of Bedell on Tuesday, a
rough in the extreme. There wer
CANYONS and snow and water, all CON
bining to make the business in whic
they were engaged uncomfortable.
Sheriff Robbins speaks in the higl
est terms of Sheriff Havird, and

assistance. He says they were

DEMOCRAT: The Statesman is in
error in regard to that little pink
flower in the Capitol Buildinggrounds.
1t is alfileri, not asperset. Alfilerl
mysterlously appeared in California
after the country had been denuded
of grasses, ana it was thought that
the range was ruined, but the new
forage plant redeemed the land. 1t
is supposed to be native of Mexico
The plant first appeared in Curiew
gulch, above the post, where some
returning emigrants from California
had camped. 1t spread rapidly and
is now growing luxurlously all around
the post, the post cemetery, has en-
tered the city and is making its way
up on the foothills. The plant keeps
green the year round, grows equally
we'll on dry and moist ground, is
highly esteemed as forage and pro-
duces profusion of seeds which are
as fattening as oats. The plants at
the Capitol bloomed all winter, and
Won now see flowers and nearly ma
tured seed on the same plant. Our
stock men and farmers should en-
courage this new grass and by setting
out plants in various places on the
ranges aid in its redemption OF the
country. To ornamental farmers ano

PLACER mining has been going on
quietly a few miles from this place,
when everybody was predicting that
the season would prove total fail
ure, and hydraulic chiefs would have
rest until next spring. The Ira
verso boys have been piping about
ten DAYS, but we never heard of il
until two or three days ago. They
reservoir the water, and work only
day time. Brockmiller, Cetovitch
and Reagan have been piping week
having commenced week ago yes
terday. They are also reservoiring
boarding up supply of water al
night and turning it loose to do its
work day time. A Chinese company
has been at work for sometime in a
placer claim between this place and
the Warm Springs. The season will
not be SO poor, after all, as the pro-
phetic predictions have pictured
If storms continue during the spring
and early summer, which is not at al
an improbability, as we have had dry
weather for a year, and it is time fol
a change of program, mining vii
continue just the same as if the regu
lar depth of snow had fallen during
the winter.
