The Blackfoot Asylum Burned.

The Insane Asylum at Blaekfoot,
last Sunday morning, was hscov-
cred to be on fire by the night at
tendant. An alarm was at once
given, and all hands turned to res
cuing the inmates of the burning
building. Out of sixty-seven pa
tients only three are known to have
persisted, and eight escaped and
their whereabouts is unknown.
Only the main building and con-
tents were burned. The new addi-
ton, just completed at a cost OF
SIS, 900, and all the out buildings
were saved, together with some fur
niture. The origin of the fire was
probably from the kitchen range in
the basement. The female patients
are now confined in the Methodist
Church, and the males in the court
house, but they will be moved to
the new asylum building. The en-
ployees lost nearly all their effects
in trying to save the patients. The
total loss is $4,000. The building
was fine structure, and the de-
struction of it will be quite a severe
loss to the territory.
Since the above has been put in
type, DR.. Givens, the superlntend-
ent of the asylum, telegraphs the
following to the Boise Statesman:

at Idaho City on account of the
triple murder that took place at
Silver Mountain a year ago last
summer, wherein lobe Pitts, Pitt
Smith and another were shot and
Killed. Ninemier was acquitted in
one case, the indictment being for
murder, when a nolle prosequi was
entered in the other two. The real
murderer is supposed to be one

Robbins took a bootless trip to
Texas last summer.-A case in
volving the title to the celebrated

the late Captain Settle and Jacob
Reeser were plaintiffs and General
John B. Winters defendant, heard

ATTEMPTED Suicide.

B.X. Boone, who formerly lived
in Ketchum, attempted to kill him
self about three weeks ago at Port
Townsend, Washington. 1t is only
few mouths ago that the KEYSTONE
made mention of Jerry Lewis, an
other old-timer of Ketchum, hav-
ing committed successful suicide
at the above named place. Both OF
the parties named were carpenters
by trade and were well known here.
We have been handed a copy Of
the Tacoma Globe, from which we
copy Port Townsend telegram of
of the 18th inst. referring to the at

MINING NOTES.

Messrs. Philbrick, Harlan and
Williams have secured a lease OF
the Nabob mine at Galena. Two
teams-one six-horse and the other
two-horse team, left Ketchum last
Wednesday with sleighs loaded
with about 5000 pounds of supplies
for the mine. The Nabob is con-
sidered very good prospect, and
if the above named stalwart miners
whose aggregate weight is about SIX
hundred pounds, don't dig up some
thing in that locality before spring,
then we are not good at guessing.
A lot of ore from the Tyrolese
mine was brought to the Ketchum
sampler this week, which yielded
1875 ounces silver, $50 gold and As
per cent lead per ton.
Ore shipments from this point
continue we'll as compared with this
month of previous years, and sew
eral leasers of good properties in
this vicinity are arranging now to
continue shipping ore all winter
Among these is Mike Carey, who
has from thirty to forty tons on the
dumps of the Boyle Mountain
claims and some excellent ore
bodies in view.
The First National Bank shipped
on Tuesday one carload of W. S. C
NJ. Co. ore and one carload of mixed
lots from the Comstock, Highland
Mary, Crown Point and other mines

Sad Death.


While death is always sad, the
circumstances attending the death
of Mrs. F. B. Willis which occurred
at Challis last Monday, November
25th, seems particularly painful.
After short illness she died, leav-
ing babe only ten days old, just
when life seemed brightest and full
of hope. She was idolized by her
husband, and her home was every
thing that was charming and lovely.
She was the only and beloved child
of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Chris
topher Diehl, we'll known and re-
spected residents of Salt Lake City.
When Mrs. Willis condition became
dangerous, they were sent for, and
lost no time in responding to the
summons, taking the first train from
Salt Lake and making the journey
from the latter place to Challis in
thirty-two hours, and were able to
be with their daughter the last days
of her life. Mr.. Diehl arrived in
Ketchum from Challis on Monday
night, and on Tuesday left for Salt
Lake to make arrangements for the
funeral. On Tuesday the bereaved
husband and mother left Challis
with the body, bringing the infant
child with them, reaching ketchum
Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. DlehI
being an old friend of Mrs. T. w
Gillette, she, with the little babe
spent the night at her house. Mrs
Diehl must have possessed a Won
derful amount of courage and for
titude to have undertaken such &
| Journey with such young child
during the inclement weather We
had the fore part of the week. They
arrived in ketchum in safety, anc
kind friends did all that was posi-
BILE for the comfort of the whole
party. Mr.. James Judge, of thu
| Palace Hotel, made all the neces
sary arrangements for sending the
body to Salt Lake, and assisted thu
sad party in many ways in seem!
them comfortably on Thursday
train for their destination. Mrs
Anna 0. Willis was only twenty
eight wears old, and her untimely
death is a terrible blow TO her de
voted husband and parents. Mr.
F. B. Willis is a prominent bushes
man of Challis, who has held tn
position Of assessor and tax col
| lector OF Custer county for severa
years. His many friends sympa
thize with him in his bereavement
and irreparable loss.
