A Sorely Afflicted Family.

For the fourth time in almost as many
weeks it becomes our sad and painful
duty to chronicle another death in the
family of our friend Henry c. Johnson,
of Lake district. Such lamentable
record of mortality is, we believe, with
out precedent in the history of the
state, and it is certainly without par.
allel in idaho county.
March 80, 1891, Perry Calvin Johnson,
aged 7 years, months and 20 days.
April 10, 1891, Nina johnson. aged
2 years and l month.
April %, 1891, Charles Virgil Johnson.
aged 10 years, IL months and 13 days.
May 8, 1891, John Thomas johnson.
aged 8 years, 8 months and 10 days.
Thus out of family of seven prom
ising children four are taken in quick
succession by that dread disease, scarlet
fever. While other families escaped its
ravages, its wrath seemed confined to
and concentrated upon the johnson
household. In the presence of such
stern realities as these earthly honors
seem empty. earthly enjoy ments hollow
and earthly ambitions insignificant; for
when the presence of death might with
reason have been least expected. the
dark-winged messenger hovered near
and in quick succession bore away to
the spirit land four of the lambs of this
sorely stricken family, and the hopes
the fond parents had entertained of the
future of these promising children van
ished like chaff before a driving wind
In view of such mortality the words of
scripture cannot but inspire the most
thoughtless among us with the full
meaning of their true significance:
as for man has days are as grass, as a
fo,oer Of the field so he perishet.. For the
'ctnd passeM oUer it and it is gone, and the
place thereof shall kno,o it no more"
In cases such as this words of sympa-
thy and coincidence fall but coldly upon
the ear, and the task of consolinp the
bereaved ones must be left to the
softening influences of time and to him
in whose hands are the issues of life
and death. The three remaining chill
dren are girls.

The Reservation Right of Way.

The Indian conference of last week

them appraised and settlement made

Survey of County Boundaries

Some time this summer survey
must be made to establish the boundary
line between Shoshone and Idaho coun-
ties, in compliance with an act of the
late legislature. A. L. Scofield informs
a Wallace paper that as the matter now
stands there is no defined line between
the counties for a distance of seventy.
FIVE miles. Lolo creek was supposed to
be the boundary to the Montana line,
but Lolo creek, according to informa-
ton from explorers in late years, heads
seventy-five miles west of the Montana
line. The last legislature passed an act
making the county boundaries a line
surveyed from the head of Lolo creek to
Lolo pass, the latter in the Bitter Root
range, east of Pierce City.

the killing Of Q servant in an inn in the out
skirts Of Leeds The girl had been left alone
in the inn and was found dead. with her throat
cut. on the return Of the housekeeper. Stock
well was suspected. more on account Of the
fact that he had disappeared suddenly than
for any other reason. He was searched for by
large bodies OF citizens and officers for several
days. but managed to elude his pursuers. FL

induced to confess. and the stricken mother
fulfilled her sense Of duty by informing the
authorities Of his whereabouts. He had un.

The murder was committed on the impulse
