IDAHO NEWS.

Grangeville Free Press: ]. G. Gel
bach and Gov. Swartz killed three
coons down on the Swartz ranch
in the Fairview country last Tues
day morning. The coons had killed
a couple of chickens and were then
freed by the dogs within few feet
of the house, when the men were
aroused and came out and shot
them. The largest weighed twenty
pounds and the others fourteen
pounds each. These animals are a
new feature here, and they evidently
are importations from Missouri.
John Day creek is also afflicted with
them.-Judge Logan has adjourned
the November term of district court
for Idaho county until December
8, 1889. He has also adjourned the
Lewiston term until November 20,
1889. His reason for adjourning is
sickness. There is a movement on
foot to have the Judge removed, but
it is too much like striking a man
when heis down to enlist much SYM
pathy, even from radical partisans.
Leader: Christian Dambach left
Pennsylvania in 1888, and purchas-
ed farm in Lynn county, Oregon;
sold his farm on the 18th of April,
1889, and was afterwards seen at
Baker City, Oregon, when hetalked
of going some place and engaging
in the stock business. He is about
AZ years Of age, black hair and
sandy whiskers. His wife is hunt
ing for him now, and wishes to
know of his whereabouts. Four of
his children and a number of his
friends have died since he left them.
Any one knowing of said Christian
Dumbach's whereabouts will be lib
orally rewarded by addressing Mrs.
Mary Dambach, Boise City, Idaho.
Bellevue Press: Bibe Morrison,
Dan Nichols and two other parties
obtained a lease about the first of
September on the Horn Silver mine
in Lava creek mining district, and
have on the dump as the result of
five weeks work, ten tons of first
class ore and seven of second-class. |
They have discovered large body !
of high-grade ore of the ASSAY value |
of $4,000 per ton, and equaling in |
richness the first body of ore struck |
by Frank Martin. The full extent |
of the strike has not been ascer-
tanned. The company had run a
tunnel alongside Of this body, and
left it standing, supposing it to be
country rock or a wall.-It was
miners wages had been
reduced at Lava creek, but we are
happy to state that such is not the
case, and that no attempt was made
to cut them.-The Hub mine has
got its new hosting works in ope-
ration, and the work of sinking will |
be pushed as fast as possible.-
Dave Latham states that there have
been $1,000 head of cattle driven
INTO the Birch creek country, and
The owners are offering to give half
or wintering them. Good mich
COWS are drug on the market at
IS per head.
Blackfoot News: The only un-
favorable criticisms we have noticed
made of Gov. Shoup's official acts
vas concerning his pardon of the
,old-blooded murderer, Bernard,
Who has turned up as the affidavit
nan in the Silver Bow, Montana,
election. Our exchanges from North
Idaho, where the murder was COM
nitted, seem to think that Bernard
should have been hung instead of
'eing put in the penitentiary, and
Is he was there he should have
'een kept for a life time. If the
Governor made a mistake it was
because he was deceived by those
'egging the pardon of Bernard.
