tween Lewisville and Menan with
a horse and road cart and got off
the ford into deep water. The horse
became unmanageable and the cart

lady from drowning but his horse
and cart went down the river
When the grand and petit juries for
Bingham county were drawn some
time ago, the name of John Swee-
ney, Of Carriboo, was drawn, the
names being taken from the poll
books of the last election. In sum-
moning jurors District Attorney
Whittier was going to Carriboo and
took the papers along with him.
In hunting up Mr.. John Sweeney,
however, he was somewhat sur
prised to find that he had been dead
over two years. He also found he
had been properly registered.
Journal: Four squaws from Po-
catello were discovered tearing out
the inside finish of a house belong
ing to Mr.. Thomas Fay, which was
temporarily vacant. They were ar
rested and tried for the offense. AS
they had no excuse to offer except
that they wanted the material for
their own use, three of them were
sent to Jail for five days, the fourth
one, owing to her age, was dis
charged and admonished never to
do any such an act again.
Elmore Bulletin: The Vishnue
group of mines have been bonded
to Mccormick & Co. of Salt Lake,
who are agents for a wealthy syndi-
cate of mining operators in France,
at good round sum, for the period
of six months, and from the infor-
nation derived by us the sale may
be already assured. Dan Fitzwater
has been appointed superintendent
of the works by the new manage
ment, and he has given Thomas
Kitto the foremanship of the mine.
With these two old and experienced
miners at the helm, repairing tun-
nels, levels, shafts, ETC., has already
commenced, and as soon as such
necessary dead work is completed
a large force of men will be put at
work running new tunnels and
opening new slopes. The lower
levels, now under water, will be
pumped out and the we'll known
rich deposits there will be ex-
tracted from mother earth and pro-
duce returns that will astonish all
but those who are we'll acquainted
with the history of this noted prop
erty. Mr.. Woodward, one of the
principal mine manipulators of the
French syndicate, has gone to Paris
/ where he will conclude arrange
ments for placing the Vishnue in
the front rank of the gold produc-
ers of Idaho.
| Caldwell Tribune: By an error
of the firm which prints the patent
side of the Tribune, this issue APP
pears dated May 18th instead Of
June 9Th, and the continued story,
"Our Robin" is a repetition of what
appeared in the issue of May 10.
This is the last straw. Since we
have been running patent side
our hair has turned gray with grief
and our shoulders have assumed
the proportions of q dromedary
carting around the mistakes of that
internal patent. If it don't get us
into an early and unhonored grave
before another year passes, we will
have a power press and print all al
home if we have to mortgage our.
selves to the devil to pay for it.
