The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1889-02-16

The good people of Middleton
enjoyed dance last week, that has
been the talk of some Caldwell
people who attended ever since.
| Postmaster Boone recently re-
ceived letter from the mother of
Edward Helm who was shot here a
couple of weeks ago, asking for all
the particulars of her sons death.
"A synopsis of the laws passed
by last legislature appears on our
first page this. 1t is necessarily
brief but gives an idea of all the
most important laws passed. Read
it.
Capt. George Little has moved
his family to one of the dwelling
houses manufactured out of the
old school house. Mr.. Brown will
occupy the house vacated by Mr..
Little.
| Everybody now has a valen-
tine of a more or less compliment
tary nature, principally less, tackled
upon the wall to remind him of
what somebody else thinks is his
shortcomings.
Little & Blatchley have just
received the largest and most COM
plete stock of garden, vegetable
land flower seeds ever opened up in
Caldwell. The entire stock is
warranted to be strictly first-class,
and every package guaranteed to
contain nothing but the best and
purest. They handle only the
goods of the most reliable seed
growers in the world.
w. S. Bailey is circulating a
petition for the appointment of
postmaster at Caldwell. Sim. seems
to be the unanimous choice of all
as everybody is signing the petition.
1t it safe to say that should he get
! the appointment-and he surely
will--he will make an able, efficient
and obliging official, and will see
that everybody gets a letter, if he
has to write one himself. There
are few better men than Sim. Bad
ley-his many good qualities quite
atone for his misguided political
views.
Ed. Blanchard, of Emmett,
now here, says that Levi Bush,
brother of John F., was buried last
Saturday having also died from
pneumonia. John was buried on the
Sunday previous. The brothers
were stricken with the disease about
the same time. Levi was sixty
three, and three years older than
John. He arrived two years ago
bringing with him a widowed
daughter and grandson aged seven.
They were all living on the same
little ranch, not far from Emmett.
The neighbors contributed the
means to bear the funeral expenses
of the deceased brother, and will
have to help the penniless widow
and child.-Boise Democrat.
"A warrant issued for the re-
arrest of earle, after his discharge !
by Judge Beatty, was sworn out in !.
Boise last week and placed in
Sheriff Robbins hands. earle, we
are pleased to say, could not be
found. The Wood River Times
hits the nail on the head when it
says: "The barber earle, who shot
and killed Edward Helm, at Cald-
well few days ago, has been dis !
charged from custody, the justice
of the peace before whom he was
examined holding that the act was
in self defense. Helm followed |
earle across the street, calling him
the names familiar to ruffians of
low degree, whereupon Carrie shot
him dead, and thus served him
right. earle should be given a
medal"
Last Thursday night as we
were comfortably reclining in our
easy chair in our luxuriant study,
smoking our usual 5O-cent Havana
before retiring, propounding the
affairs of state and making en-
pires out of the figures on our
Brussels carpet, in our minds eye,
are revere was broken by sweet
cadency of mellow, heavenly mu-
sic, which softly floated on the
starry atmosphere of night through
the open transom and settled like
pail on our costly furniture in large
three-cornered chunks. With an
Aurora movement of studied grace
and elegance, we stopped over and
picked up a strain that had alight-
ed on our small and shapely foot
which modestly peeped from I'M
der costly rug, and proceeded to
leisurely analytic it. Just as we
had come to the conclusion that
