ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE.

A young man who lives less than
a half dozen miles from Brenbam
and whose frequent visits to Chap
pell Hill since a certain charming
young lady has been there on visit,
went down one day this week, the
same day on which the young lady
took her departure for Burton, but
of this he was in ignorance. He
went down with a countenance
beaming with anticipated pleasures,
and came back looking as sad as if
he had been attending his own
funeral. He went down with a
great flourish of lofty airs, but he
comes back humble as you please.
When he reached Chappell Hill he
inquired about his girl and learned
through some boys, that his most
dangerous rival had just left with
her for Buckhorn to attend dance,
and that by hard driving he might
overtake them. They showed him
the Buckhorn road and started him
off, and for all they know he may be
driving yet, looking for the dance
and the young lady. It's not proba-
bic that he came back through
Chappell Hill, and be won't tell any
thing about what is going Oh in the
vicinity of Buckhorn.

the tempting dinner his coat blew
down from where he had hung it up
as he came in, and when he went to
put it back she darted by him, got a
pistol and made him vamoose. Mr..
D. came in and was showing her how
the pistol worked and accidentally
discharged it. The tramp could not
be found by officers Thursday even

a letter from a gentleman at Eagle
Lake who has just returned from
Wharton and says everything is ripe
at those places for an effort at build
ing the proposed road from Bren-

the Brazos, and suggests that an eff
fort be made to get up a meeting of
the citizens of Eagle Lake, Brennan
and Wharton, to be held in Wharton
to devise means whereby the build
ing of this road can be accomplished
or to at least see what can be done
towards it. The BANNER does not
mind repeating that such connec-
ton would be desirable acquisition
to Brennan. It would place deep
water port at our door almost and
build up every branch of the trade
here.

BORN-April Z. 1891, to Mr.. and Mrs.
Russell Smith, of Boise valley, fine
SOC. All well and happy.

THE TRIBUNE has lost some pat
ronage on account of the city fight, but it
has word of praise for those who have
thus far seen fit to withdraw their sup
port. They have acted like gentlemen.
TO man they have come into the
Office, paid up all arrearages, and
requested their names taken off the list
or their advertisement taken out of the
paper. OF course we do not like to
lose a customer, but it is so seldom
that man quits his paper in this way,
we half enjoy the sensation. The usual
way is to tell the postmaster mot to
put that - dirty rag in my box
any more" and say nothing of the little
balance due the publisher. The aver
age Caldwell man is not built that way,
and whatever he does, he does it with
fairness and decency. THE TRIBUNE
may have been stung by hornet, but
there is no poison in the sting.
-TRlBuNE the big passed through
Nampa the other day and stopped long
enough to get lunch and glass OF

over the investment, and are using it
as the foundation of their spring boom.
AS the deal is more important and
somewhat larger than most OF those
we read so much about in the columns
of the great newspaper triumvirate,
the intense excitement may be in
measure accounted for. Now is the
time to buy town lots.

THE CITY ELECTION.
N. b. GwinI, s. N. Coffin, Isidor Mayer,
A. E. Galloway aud Frank
Steunenbcrg.

The election last Monday was quite
lively. Two tickets were in the field
namely: the peoples Ticket" and the
"Tax Payers Ticket"
The former was opposed to city
license on saloons, while the latter
favored the measure. The entire "Tax
Payers Ticket" was elected by a large
majority, and it now looks as though
the $500 year license imposed on
saloons, to take effect April Is, would
stand.
There were 1857 votes cast, as against
lis votes cast at the city election one
year ago. Counting voters who were
out of town and citizens who have not
been here the required four months,
Caldwell can easily muster 200 voters,
which is equivalent to 1000 population.
Following are the candidates and votes
c. st for each man:
