The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1889-07-13

says that country Is hour;shlng,
and settling up very fast.
AS we could get no reliable
news from the great fight last Tues
day, Judge Beatty telegraphed to
John L. Sullivan, at New Orleans,
and received an answer from him
that he had won after a hard fight.
&C. w. Cooper left for Seattle
last Monday evening. Mr. Cooper
intends to 60 into business at that
place should any opportunity pre-
sent itself. If not, he viii return to
Caldwell. His family remains here
for the present.
TRIBUNE the big is in Boise
City, a member of the constitu-
tional convention, which will last
at least a month. All friends of
TRIBUNE the small will please pay
up at once. 1t is an elegant oppor-
tunity to "knock down"
Mrs. Cakes left Thursday
night for a long visit with her
daughter, Mrs. j. P. Morris, of New
Castle, California. She left the
boys under the watchful eye of The
TRIBUNE during her absence, with
full power and authority to act.
The sporting editor of The
TRIBUNE came nearest to gu essing
the number of rounds the great
fight would last, he guessing sixty
seven. Like another brilliant per-
sonage in history, however, he sold
his birthright for a mess of potage.
AS will be seen by the list, THE
TRIBUNE withdraws its offer of the
San Francisco Chronicle. A great
many availed themselves of the
opportunity and got that great pa
per free, but a great many more
got left. We will still give both
papers for 1925
Mr.. John Mcmahon, of Sue
cor Creek, was in town several days
this week. He says he has al
ready struck five foot vein in his
recent coal discovery, and is en-
thusias tic over the prospect. We
hope to see Succor Creek supplying
this country with fuel in the near
future.
China Tong Lee will open a
store on Front street, second
door below the corral, on July Is.
He will keep sugar, coffee, flour,
tea, molasses, China syrup, china
ware, glassware, underwear, hos
iery, silk and other handkerchiefs,
and all kinds of green fruit and
vegetables.
John L. Sulliva n knocked out
Jake Kilrain in the seventy-ffth
round, in the great fight at Rich
burg, Mississippi, on the Sth inst,
thus again establishing his title as
champion of the world After
reading an account of the fight we
have decided not to challenge John
L. until he dies. Kilrain is of the
same opinion.
A young man by the name of
VIM. Saxby came from Glenn's
Ferry to Caldwell a week or two
ago, was taken sick shortly after
his arrival, and died last Tuesday
morning. Nothing is known of the
unfortunate stranger save that his
home is in Port Smith, Lincolnshire
England, and that he formerly
worked for T. J. Gladly, Spencer
vile, Clay Co., Iowa. His trouble
was inflammation of the bowels.
Although an entire stranger, he
wanted for nothing during his sick
ness, but medical skill and careful
nursing awaited nothing. He had.
no personal effects whatever, and
was buried at the expense of the
county.
There is in Caldwell an old
gentleman who can be likened unto
the Good Samaritan. He is al
ways first at the bedside Of the
sick, be they friends or strangers;
he is the first to discover distress
in any quarter, and does all in
his power to relieve it. Had it not
been for him the unfortunat,
stranger who died here this week,
would have lacked much of the
care and attention bestowed upon
him. When w. w. Dryden asks
the "boys" for fifty cents or dol
lar, it is always given quickly and
freely, with hardly question ask
ed, for well they know it will. be
spent for charity, and some worthy
person relieved. Such actions
make the whole world akin.
Died, at the residence of A. E.
Galloway, after an illness Of 1O4
days, Thomas Fades, aged about
twenty-one years. He was first
