Caldwell Tribune: An old mine
who went by the name of Levi,
who has been in and around tn
towns of Nampa, Payette and Be-
ker City, for the last few wears
came to Ontario some three week
ago sick, and apparently destitute
having every appearance of a tram]
OF the poorest class. Mr.. Ruther
ford, at whose hotel the man stayed
finally decided to move him into al
adjoining building, give him batl
and some clothes, both of which
were absolutely needed, though
strongly objected to by Lewis; bu
with the assistance Of some of thu
neighbors they succeeded in doing
50, and found on his person the
sum of seven hundred and fifty dol
lars in gold coin. They put the
money in a safe, hired nurse to
care for him and called DR.. Lee,
who found the man dying from
uramia, and too late to do anything
for him. He died the next dav,
September 9th, without telling who
he was, where he came from, or
whether he had any friends or rela-
tives living. They gave him re-
spectacle burial the following day
at Ontario, Rev. Boone of this pace
officiating.
Boise Democrat Will McGufin,
who is in the employ of of Mrs.
McCarty, brought to the Democrat
office last evening seven specimens
of walnuts grown upon her place
which were certainly the most sin
gular in appearance of anything of
the kind we ever saw. They looked
like large, green lemons in form,
color and size, being at least two
and three-quarters inches in diam
eter from side to side, and three and
a-half in length. A singular cir
in this connection is that
they grew upon the same tree with
others of the ordinary kind. The
tree forked and each fork produced
a different species of the nut.
Pocatello Republican: Logan
Carlisle, son of Speaker Carlisle, is

lion. Speaker Carlisle and wife will
remain in Pocatello until their son
S fully out of danger. We trus,
hat the people Of Idaho may have
IN opportunity of rendering the
Hon. Speaker some courtesies be-
ore his return to Washington and
interest him in their behalf in favor
