the well-known mining man, VIII
is largely interested in the Big Cop
, per, near Houston, was in Challi
Wednesday and Thursday. From
, Mr.. Brown we learn that it is a yer,
wealthy company who has takel
hold of the Big Copper this TIM
and that active work has been com
menced and will be continued. Mr.
Carl Henrichis superintendent
Samuel Huffman was seriously in
jured on Wednesday last by being
thrown from and run over by the
Clayton stage near Casper Mock's
! place. The accident occurred by
the seat breaking, causing Mr.. Huff:
man to fall out and carry the lines
with him. The team ran away, but
the lines were secured by Geo. TAFT
one of the passengers, and they
were stopped after running some
distance, without further accident
or damage. The stage was loaded,
and it was great luck that there was
no one else hurt. Mr.. Huffman was
brought to Challis and found to be
badly bruised although no bones
were broken. Under the skillful
treatment of DR.. Roney he is get
ting along nicely and will be out in
a few days.
Montpelier Observer: It is on
this ground that we base the proph-
esy that the democrats in this falps
election will poll a vote that will
not only astonish their opponents
but also themselves. However, it
does not follow that the democrats
are sure of carrying the day, as there
are many things to take into con-
sideration. The republican party
has been in power so long that it
considers it has special mortgage
on all the territories under the ju-
risdiction of the federal government,
and has lost no opportunity to in
crease its influence, working dill
gently not only for present benefit
but also future results. The mem
bers of the republican party have
not been laboring simply for state
hood, but also to control and govern
Idaho after her aI...i5si =. .~--....
Silver Press: Cord wood is being
hauled into the Custer mill yard by
teams, and there are about one
thousand cords being foated down
the Yankee Fork to the mill. The
owners must have some assurance
of selling or they would not move
it.-The Dickens-Custer..Co. have
put small force of men to work
on the Dickens mine again.
Caldwell Tribune: There has
been considerable excitement in a
quiet way in town the past week on
account ola supposed gang of horse
thieves, disposing of stolen stock
in this vicinity. Horses in posses
sion Of a man working on the
Phyllis canal were identified by a
man from Grand Ronde Valley as
his property. Other stolen stock
was found in possession Of innocent
parties. The stock was brought
into the country by apparent immi-
grants who traded it to unsuspect-
ing parties. They were traced to
Caldwell from whence they went to
Boise City, and from there they
took the Haley road. A deputy |
sheriff from Seattle is hard on their
track. A supposed accomplish was
arrested in Caldwell, but turned
loose again upon his promises not
to leave town, so he can be found
when wanted. That there is gang
of horse thieves working in eastern
Washington and Oregon and west
ern Idaho there is no doubt, and it
is to be hoped that the authorities
are on the right track. In the mean
time people cannot be too careful
in trading and baying horses from
strangers.
Eagle Rock Times: Still the
sheep go by, and the 10000 be-
longing to Mr.. Ormsby have not
yet all passed. Only about 5000
have gone and the rest are still to
follow. The outfit left Oregon early
in the spring and intend reaching
Nebraska in October.-E. Bit
shaw, of Chicago, was in town yes
terday. He is looking up the coun-
try for an eastern house and is very
enthusiastic over our outlook. With
The admission of Idaho as a state
he eastern people are commencing
20 look toward Idaho with wish
jul eye and are sending out agents
20 look the country over.-Every
precinct in the county should or
5anize democratic clubs. Pocatello
1as organized with nearly two hun
lred members, and Eagle Rock will
next week organize with
nearly one hundred. The quicker we
get to work the better for us. Come
IN democratic brethren and get a
move in your precincts.
