The Northern Pacific Railroad COM
pany has made application to have the
odd numbered sections in the Occur
d'Alene Iddian reservation, recently
opened for settlement, set aside as a
part Of it's grant. 1t is more than prob

ground that, being reservation at the
time the grant was made, 1t cannot
subsequently become part Of the
grant.-Post Falls Panhandle.

Our citizens were Mortified on last
Monday afternoon at the intelligence
that John H. Duray had blown his
brains out and had been found lying
insensible at his residence on North
Terrace street. From the position Of
his body when found, the wounds in
his head and the bullet holes in the
room, it is supposed that he laid down
on the bed, placed the pistol to the top
of his head and fired, the shot coming
out Of his forehead. This wound, how
ever, was not . fatal one and could
have no more than stunned him for a
time. However, 1t is thought that he
emptied his revolver before he quit
shooting, - i've empty shells were
found on the floor. On his reviving he
undoubtedly reloaded the weapon,
and, going to the mirror, fired the fatal
shot while looking in the glass, ana
then must have pitched forward in
falling, and 20 broke the mirror, the
blood and brains Of the suicide spatter-
ing the walls Of the room nearly to the
ceiling. Salmon City Recorder.
Last Sunday morning, two very ten
der and extremely raw recruits of Uncle
cams army, who were delayed here a
couple Of hours, concluded they would
display their brilliancy-their brass
buttons before the untutored gaze OF
the wiley savages. They proceeded to

Nampa, like most other new towns
has an element In it's midst that are
always opposing radical changes. They
usually have their ''tale Of woe" tc
pour into every listening ear and hold
up their hands. and earnestly plead
"don't do IT.. we will run our town in
debt" There was spirit Of this kind
manifested at the Board Of Trade meet
ing, held Tuesday night, when the mo
ton was made to incorporate, and We
were surprised to know that 1t came
from some Of our prominent citizens
men who should be foremost in al
movements that are for the benefit o
our village. Yet the Leader Is pleased
tosay that large majority Of thoss
present favored the movement. A cit
isens meeting was called recently
and there Is no question but thai
Nampa will take the necessary steps Z
