sioners in adjourned session con-
cluded in their wisdom, that the
time had come in which to make
Pocatello an incorporated village,
for the purpose of comforting upon
the citizens that inalienable right
of selfgovernment. In this we
fully concur, but grave and serious
questions will now arise, and we
trust that in all candor we move
carefully, and legislate with pru-
dence and extreme care. There will
be the usual scramble for position
and place, and in this matter we
hope our council will weigh well
the matter of appointments, and
select only such men as will dis
charge their duty without fear or
favor and for the purpose of giving
US a village that in morals will equal
if not surpass any in the west.
Statesman: We presume that
our readers will remember the ac-
count we gave some two weeks ago
of the fellow, Brennan, who amused
himself by shooting off a revolver
in the cars between Huntington and
Payette-how he was arrested and
tried before a justice and fined, and
given time in Jail amounting in all
to the sum total of five and a-half
months. On Thursday evening of
this week that enterprising Ameri-
can citizen "got up and busted"
out of the Ada county bastile. It
happened in this wise: Jailer Chap
man was performing the last act of
the evening-seeing that everything
was right-when Mr.. Brennan STEP
ped out without the usual courtesy
of saying "good night" He must
have been IN his stockings or naked
feet and sneaked out when the jailer
entered. There is no other account
ing for it. Well, nobody cares
The Walling ditch broke its confines
on Thursday and deposited fish in
various places. 1t is said that Bill
Clark picked up lightweight fine
mountain trout. We are told that
a soldier caught salmon trout
weighing seventeen pounds-call it
seven; that Spofford, formerly work
ing on this paper, captured small
whale. Simmer the whole thing
down, some pretty good fish were
caught, and if the next legislature
will pass law that will prevent
bitches from breaking away it will
have tendency to preserve the fish.
Idaho Sentinel: Wednesday af.
ternoon, at the residence of the
BRIDES parents in Marsh Basin, Mrs.
Annie Snyder, daughter of w. B.
TRAINER, was married to J. E.
Burke, Judge Weatherman officiat-

the greatest happiness this sacred
relation can bring.
| Mr.. Burke was formerly resi-

of Judge Adams Of that place. His
many acquaintance in Alturas
county will congratulate him upon
this, his second matrimonial ven
ture.-ED.

between VIM. Stockman and John
McNutt, nephew of the owner of
