Caldwell Tribune: The following
thrilling story comes over the wire
from Silver City: The daily stage
due at Silver City, Wednesday,
January Is, encountered q severe
snow storm on Reynolds Greek
summit, where the horses became
unmanageable, and ran the stage off
of the grade. The driver. Mr.. Lee
Folsom, being unable to handle the
now thoroughly frightened horses,
sought to reach Bonneville, tavern
abont six miles from the scene of
the accident, on foot. He became
quite bewildered in the storm, lost
his way, and was surrounded by
hungry mountain wolves. His on
" resort was to fight the animals
for his life, which he heroically did
until daylight the following morn
ing, when he was rescued by party
from Silver City in search of the
stage.
Avalanche: Word was brought
to this place yesterday of the hor-
rible death of a young man named
Newall, comparative stranger in
this county, who belongs to party
of immigrants camped about one
half mile below Walters ferry, on
Snake river. 1t seems that on the
9th instant the young man above
named started out for goose hunt,
but not being fortunate enough to
find that game, started across the
sage-brush plain for rabbits. After
hunting while he started for home,
but lost his way, and when within
about one mile of the camp laid
down and froze to death. His par
ents Immediately instituted search
for him, but did not find his
remains until the 14th inst. This
is indeed very sad incident and
the bereaved parents have the SYM
pathy of all, though strangers to
them. There were several families
of them, all from Colorado, on their
way to Oregon, and had concluded
to winter here, and it is heart-rend-
ing to realize that they must leave
one of their loved ones "under the
snow"
Pocatello Herald: U. S. Indian
Agent s. G. Fisher has received q
notice from the acting Governor of
the territory, requesting him to re-
move an Indian called Medicine
Jim from the vicinity of Glenn's
Ferry who is there with band of
diseased ponies to the annoyance
of the citizens fthat neighborhood.
This may possibly be an Indian be-
longing to this Agency, but of this
we have our doubts, as there is not
an Indian belonging to either of
these tribes, by the name of Medl-
cine Jim. but the good people of
Glenn's Ferry can rest assured OF
this one fact in all confidence and
that is, that the present Agent is
very active in the discharge of his
official duties, and will SO far as
comes to his knowledge correct in
trusions by Indians at once, and
with dispatch and that there will be
: no dilly-dallying about it either
from day to day, but that when ne
speaks it means business.
Statesman: "Rube" Short, a we'll
known farmer of the Boise Valley
was in the city yesterday. He says
that he saw yesterday on the sage
+ plain between Nampa and Boise
large herds of starving cattle. Be-
tween Five Mile Greek and the
Boise river there are at least four
hundred head Of cattle, nearly the
entire number of which are in
a starving condition. He says that
the greater number of these cattle
are branded F F, this being the well
known brand of James Wilson, one
of the wealthy men of Boise Valley
, and the largest stock owner in this
section of country. "Rube" says
that he is not easily moved to COM
plain, but that the sight of these
poor starving animals made him
wish that something could be done
, to provide for them. Surely, if the
owner or owners knew where their
!, property could be found in this
, condition they would gather them
! in and feed them, or if unable to dc
this they would kill them and thus
, end their sufferings. Sucha state
/ of things is standing reproach t.
the country, and every one should
a feel the necessity of finding some
, remedy legal or otherwise to put al
end to it.
