MOSCOW's TRAGEDY.
Joshua Tear. the W0uld-be Assassin
of His wife, and Suicide, Dies
from the Effect of
His Wound.

AT 10 o'clock yesterday morning
occurred most terrible tragedy at
the residence of E. C. Fisher, in this
city, in which Joshua Tear shot his
wife through the head, then placed
the revolver to his own forehead and
fired, inficting a wound from which
he died at few minutes before one
o'clock. DR.. Blake was summoned
Immediately, and after examination,
stated that the ball entered Mrs.
Tears head over the left eyebrow,
ranging downward and obliquely
through the tissues of the head, and
now lies imbedded in the substance
of the right cheek. The second shot
went through the first JOINT of the lit
tie finger of the left hand, the hand
being thrown up as protection, and
just grazed the bridge of her nose.
The wounds were not considered fa-
tai, and at the present writing she is
getting along as well as could be ex-
pected. 1t seems from the evidence
that Mrs. Tear had supported her hus-
band, she being seamstress, having
formerly run millinery and dress
making business at Juliaetta. She
has been at Mr.. Fishers for the past
month, sewing for Mrs. Fisher and
Mrs. Gammell. Some trouble had
occurred between Tear and his wife
over his not assisting in their sup
port, and she was contemplating 60
ing to ]. B. Phillips, on American
Ride, in few days, to do some sew
ing, and he knew that they would not
have him out there. Yesterday morn
ing he was told by Mr. Fisher that he
ought to work and that he (Fisher,
would get him a job. He acted sui
len and went out in town, and he was
seen by several persons who noticed
his sullenness. He purchased a re
voIver and a box of cartridges from
L. G.. Witbeck at about seven o'clocl
in the morning. When the TRACED.
occurred Mrs. Tear and Mrs. Tickne
E were sewing together in the room i
n which it occurred. He entered tn
$ room and asked his wife if she wa
v going to Phillips. She replied th'
It she did not know whether she woul

BOISE DEMOCRAT: VIM. H. Drake,
a pioneer, and one of the best citi-
zens of the Territory, died at the res
idence of his brother, on the south
side of the river, opposite town, on
the morning of the 9th, after a pain
full and lingering illness. His age
was sixty-eight years, and he left a
brother and married daughter Mrs.
l. n. Costin) and several grand chill
dren in deep sorrow at his death.
Deceased was highly-cultured gen.
tleman and possessed a wonderful
fund OF general information. He
was student, in fact, up to the time
of his last illness, His heart was
warm and full of noble impulses, and
his mission in life seemed to be to
do good. He was buried at 2::30
o'clock this afternoon under the
auspices Of Boise Lodge of Masons,
of which order he was a member.
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, who by
the way, is personal friend, has for
warded this office innumerable public
documents. The writer will never
forget the night in the old William
ette theatre, Portland, when Mitchell
then a youth, in response to calls
climbed down out of the gallery, and
mounting the stage made his maiden
speech. 1t was twenty-nine years
ago-th stirring times when civi
war was just showing its crimson
front; Sumter had been fired upor
and the country was in wild excite
ment from one end to the other. Mr.
Mitchell's speech was short but full
of fire, and it was the beginning o
his career in public life.

SnosHoNE Journal: The Shoshone
Falls Posor and Electric Railway
Company are receiving encourage
mant from al. sides, and matters are
LOOKING better every day.. The
singing at the Methodist Church is
beginning to be an especial feature,
and one on which we hear some very
favorable comment. Under the able
direction of Mr.. J. H. Egbert, the
choir, accompanied by the organ and
two viollns, discoursed some very
sweet music on last Sunday evening.
1.-The Board of Trade deserve the
thanks of the citizens of Shoshone for
the Inauguration of the excellent and
feasible plan of utilizing the vast
power of the great Shoshone Falls in
the generation of electricity TO be
used as the motive power for operat-
ing the proposed electric railway to
connect this town with the Falls.
This little railway is but the nucleus
around which can be gathered num-
Der of equal if not greater enterprises.
Its operation will eventually result in
the building of a bridge across the
Snake River and the opening up of a
fine section of country to the south
ward which can be made tributary to
Shoshone by the aid of these two
factors. In connection with the op-
Grafton of the road enough power
could be transmitted here to make
this an inviting field for the establish
ment of manufacturing enterprises.

JUDGE sw EET's DECISION.
N"' jumping Has Since Been tn,
Order of the Day.
Idaho County Free Press.

| "tJ EiCC Truss.
Since Judge Sweets decision in
the Moose Creek case that Chinese
nave no right on public land and that
the leasing of mining ground to Chi
nese IS equivalent to abandonment Of
the same, quite number of people
with more or less good Intentions
and not few in the hope of getting
something for nothing have started
out to give the Chinese literal inter-
probation OF the Judges decision bv
eVictlng them from sundry claims on
Salmon River, Pierce City and else
where. The mere fact that claim
has been worked for a number of
years is regarded by some enthusiasts
as pr1md fac1e evidence that the
ground is very rich. We apprehend
that there will be more blasted hopes
than gold dust realized out of the
bulk of these claims, and that their
owners will be as eager to relinquish
as they were to acquire possession of
their "mines." With the exception
of the Moose Creek, Buffalo Hill and
Campbell claims, in Elk City, and
possibly couple of the Meadow
claims, in Warrens, there is no ground
of any consequence in Idaho county
now worked by Chinese.
The time has gone by when this
decision can affect the status of the
Chinese placer miners in Idaho coun-
ty. 1t was announced twenty years
too late. The Chinese have skinned
the cream of our camps over and ov-
er again, until the Chinese question
has solved itself. When we first
knew Warrens ten years ago, it was
busy hive of Chinese industry. To-
day, owing to the exhaustion of the
ground, the Celestial population has
dwindled away until now they scarce
ly equal the white men in numbers.
Elk City and Pierce City have under
gone similar experiences, and the last
two summers witnessed very large
exodus of Chinese from this county.
May their stay be long.
