A Defunct Newspaper.

The late Judge Buck 3 late newspaper.
Our Stars and Bars, has suspended publi-
cation, and the material was removed
last week to Palouse City, whore this
distinguished journalistic failure owns
another newspaper. The paper was
originally started in Lewiston in Septem.
Der, 1880. under the title of Nez Percs
Ne,es. by one Brooks. In January 1881
the present editor of the FREE PRRss
took hold and ran it until October, 1888,
building up its circulation from 112 to
over 700 and making it a power in Ida
ho politics and the peer of any newspa-
per in the territory. In October, '83, We
sold it to old man Abbott, who speedily
ran it into the ground, when he sold out
to McConkey g. Beeson. In April, 'e5,
we again took the helm and sue
ceeded in gaining for the paper ito
old-time prestige. In June. 1885, We
let go altogether, having sold the con-
Germ to Adams q Beeson, who finally
sold it to Buck. t
Buck changed its name, which was
the last straw that broke its back, and
used 1t as personal organ to advance
his personal interests in the late CAM
paign, when lie ran for congress. A
good many good men denounced US last
fall for publishing Buck as carpet bag
ger who had no real interests In Idaho
or in its people, and who would aband-
on us as soon as he had cleaned-up all
he could make out of us, and sure
enough, the predictions have all come
true. The dear people never seem to
know who their best friends are, but
they are always ready and willing to be
led by the nose by tricksters like Buck
who pretend that their whole soul 10
wrapped up in the welfare of the dear
people, while the advice and the policy
of their true friends is unheeded and
despised. Pretenders are sure to be
found out and to find their level, and NO
doubt those good people who believed
Bucks promises last fall and voted for
him are sorry they did SO.

According to program the Idaho
County Pioneers Association held their
second annual reunion at Mt. Idaho on
Thursday last, June 18th. The Grange
Vile band was present in full uniform
and at ten o'clock a. M, called the peo-
pie together by discoursing fine music
from the balcony of the court house.
In a short time the court room was fill
ed with members of the Pioneers Asso-
citation and their friends. when the ex-
ercises proper of the day were COM
menced by vice-president Robinson
calling the meeting to order and in
few well. chosen words stating the OBJ
ject of the reunion. Then followed
music, vocal and by the band, after
which the president of the association,
Hon. L. T. Brown, delivered the annual
address, giving a brief sketch of the
early history of our county. In his
speech he also gave biographical sketch
es of the lives of few OF the members
of the association, those who have pass
ed to the great unknown. There is no
man in Idaho county better able to ham
die a subject of this kind than Mr..
Brown, and he did himself and the oc-
casion credit. After Mr.. Browns ad-
dress the band rendered pice of mu-
sic, when the assemblage adjourned to
the picnic grounds. where the first thing
was dinner. After dinner the exercis-
es were of an impromptu nature and
from the fact of their being informal,
we're probably the most enjoyable feat
ures of the day. Short addresses were
made by Messrs. Fem, Weller, Day,
Surridge, Ward, Robinson, Addison,
Hughes and others, of the pioneers, de-
failing exciting adventures of the Nez
Perce war of 1877, and of the mining
times in the eos, while of the later
comers Rev. Maxey and r. f. Fulton
made few remarks. During the after
noon the band played many old familiar
airs, lending much to the enjoyment of
the occasion. All in all pleasant time
was had and all departed feeling that it
was good to thus meet yearly and talk
of the events of the past and greet old
familiar friends, and furthermore to be-
come acquainted with the later settlers,
who will shape the future history oil
our county.
In the evening a dance was given in
the court house at which the young peo-
pie tripped the light fantastic toe to the
delightful strains Of music evoked by
I the Grangeville orchestra until the first
rays of morning were stealing across the
mountain tops, when all sought their
homes, weary with the nights enjoy
ment, but with only words OF praise foI
all concerned in the management of the
afflir.

BILL N hi

The Exhibition Stopped at the Wind-Up
by the Police.
A large contingent of the sporting fra
ternity gathered in Germans Hall, on
Hudson street, this city, last night, to
tender a benefit to Bill Dunn, the well
known Bayonne pugilist. The programme
opened with q boxing bout between Jim
Higgins and Tom Hanlon, both of
Bayonne. The fighting in the first round
was rather tame. The next round was a
lively set to. Snort-arm fighting was the
feature of the third round. Higgins was
given the bout for displaying the better
science.
Jack Ryan, of this city, and young
Watson, of Paterson, contested the sec
ond bout, both being clever with their
hands. The fighting was hot, Ryan get
ting the best of the set-to. Alex. Gal
lagher, the feather-weight, and a feather
weight pupil gave an exhibition of three
rounds, which the former won. Johnny
Carey: of Bayonne, and Jimmy Larkius,
of this city, next donned the gloves. The
nrst round was tiercely fought, neither
boxer getting any advantage over the
other. Carey was hoored in the second
round; His nose was tapped in the third,
and the claret flowed. Carey worked
hard, but was beaten in the wind2up.
Joe Lyons and Tom Tully spared a
tame bout, keeping as far apart as posi-
Bile, and raining blows on empty air.
Mr.. Giesner, the champion club swinger
OF Paterson, displayed his skill with the
clubs, and the Burke brothers gave an
exhibition of wrestling, each winning a
fall. Rube the Scottish-American Ath-
letic Clubs mascot, and Jim, his mate,
kept the spectators in a roar of laughter
by their eomical set-to. .sf5EFIfF
The event was to have closed with a
bout between Bill Dunn and Tom Green,
the latter of New York, but. just as the
men prepared to enter the ring, Police
Captain McKaig, who had entered with a
squad of policemen in citizens dress, Or
dered the show stopped. He claimed no
permit for the exhibition had been
granted. The event realized a. snug
amount for Dunn. 49,
