Caldwell Tribune: The Tribune
was awarded the contract for furn-
ishing the blanks for the territorial
controllers office for the ensuing
year. There were four bids in as
follows Statesman Publishing Co.,
1922; Wheeler & Goodwin, Belle
vue, 349; Jas. A. Pinney, Boise,
1928; Steunenberg Brothers, Cald-
we'll, $319,5O. AS Pinney represents
an eastern printing house and would
have sent every blank out of the
territory, we derive a good deal of
satisfaction from the result of the
bidding. The Tribune tackled the
seemingly hopeless task of prevent
ing all territorial printing being
sent away from home three years
ago, and has at last succeeded.

Reports from Weiser give an &C
count of terrible affair that took
place in that town last Saturday,
between some soldiers and two or
three hard cases who have been in
the habit of terrorizing the town. A
company of U. S. Cavalry, from
Boise Barracks, who were return
ing from trip to the mountains,
camped for the night near Weiser
City. In the evening some Of the
soldiers went into town to spend
an hour or so. They were unarmed
and behaved in the most quiet
manner. As they were drinking
beer in saloon a man began in
sulting and abusing them. They
told him they did not want any
trouble, but he kept on with his
abuse, until the soldirs' patience
was exhausted and they went back
to camp and got their revolvers and
returned. Meanwhile their perse-
cutor had got two more "toughs"
to aid him, one of whom, named
Glasscock, was very offensive, flour
ishing an empty pistol and snap
ping it in the soldiers faces. This
continued without the soldiers TAX
ing much notice of him until about
II o'clock, when Glasscock went
out and returned with his revolver
loaded. Seeing this, Corporal Brink,
who had been quietly taking his
beer with three or four soldiers at a
table, said, 'Well, boys, | am going
to camp" AS he stepped out Of
the door Glasscock shot him in the
neck, without a word of warning,
with a 3S-calibre pistol. The ball
lodged just above the right shout
der blade. AS he fell he cried
Boys, l am shot in the neck" At
this the soldiers ran out and began
firing at Glasscock, who ran down
he street firing as he ran. There
we're 25 or 80 shots fired in rapid :
succession. Glasscock disappeared
md it was thought he had escaped ,
lnharmed, but the next morning he {
vas found in the cellar of board
ng-house dead. The sympathy of
he people is with the soldiers, AS
hey were forced into the trouble.
