Yesterday was great one for fun
with the Indians. One buck brought
. race pony TO town and offered to
sell him for $65. Finally, he ran
across an individual who offered him
$50 for the pony, which the Indian
accepted, provided he could have the
privilege of playing of the money Al
poker with the buyer. As the buyer
was on that lay himself be jumped at
the offer, but later on jumped the
game with Mr.. Indian $35 winner.
Mr.. Whiteman did not care SO rnuch
about the money, but he hated to
have the laugh on him.
Then some one sold or gave the
Indians whisky, violation of the law
at which the party had better not be
and the Indians tanked up,
got obstreperous and were hauled up
before esquire Duval and four OF
them fined $40 apiece and costs and
ten days in the county Jail. Dick
Butler took them up to Silver City
last night and had them incarcerated.

vides that when prisoners have lost
by misconduct their time allowance
for good behavior, the Board of Par

not exceeding seventy-fve per cent.
of the allowance so lost. The Board
of Pardons on Tuesday reinstated IF
ty per cent. of the time lost by Moro
ney Hicks, which was sufficient to
release him, and he was accordingly
discharged from the penitentiary yes
terday. Hicks was serving four
teen years sentence for murder in
the second degree, committed in
Oneida county in 1879. He twice
escaped from the pen, and on one
occasion took several shots at Hon.

Marshal, who recaptured him.

COOKED to death would be putting
it in mild form if the villain or vii
lains could be apprehended who re-
moved the joint splice and several
spikes from number of ties and then
forced out the end of the rail which
caused the wreck of No. l near Nc
Cannon on Tuesday morning. Such
wretches, who would murder people
by the wholesale, deserve the worst
punishment known to a civilized peo-
pie, and il is our sincere wish that the
railroad company will be successful
in hunting them down. The track
master and officials, as we'll as en-
ployes, are all careful, painstaking
men, and 1t is an outrage to have vii
lains in our State who would be gull
ty of such an act. Fortunately no
one was injured, except the engineer
and fireman. and their injuries were
trifiing, but it is really wonder that
these two employees escaped without
being horribly mangled, and so too
with others on that train when 1t was
wrecked Idaho Herald

that, like all miners, his resolution
may be upset at any time and be
knocked out by returning fascina-
tion for the old occupation with its
charms, hardships, excitements, ups

it is possible that he will return to

julius MAUTz and family had a
narrow escape last Friday evening,
about dusk. They were returning
from the Warm Springs, and in COM
ing down the hill just this side of the
Springs, in a single horse buggy,
they met loose horse in the road
The horse stubbornly kept the road,
and Mrs. Mautz, who was driving,
turned out, whereupon the loose horse
wheeled around and let his hoofs fy
at the buggy horse, breaking some
part of the shafting, and also striking
the horse. The sudden conclusion
threw Mrs. Mautz out of the buggy,
and alighting ON her head received
painful bruises, but was not other
wise hurt. The horse started at full
speed, and in coming up the hill Ju-
lius saw it was a good time to jump,
as the lines were on the ground and
he had no way of stopping the runa-
way horse. He took the little girls,
one under each arm, and leaped to
the ground without injury to himself
or either of the children. On reach
ing the top of the hill the buggy up
set and the horse, breaking loose
from it, came on to town. 1t was a
lucky escape all round.

STATESMAN: About s o'clock last
evening Mrs. Richard Barnwell, who
resides on Franklin street near the
corner of Eighth, took an evening
ride in her two wheeled vehicle IN
company with her daughter Alice.
While in the vicinity of the high
school building they undertook to go
by passing team. The horse, who
had been heretofore uniformly gentle,
took fright and kicked the dashboard
to pieces. Mrs. Barnwell and Alice
both fell out, and in doing SO the eld-
er lady broke her left arm above the
wrist and dislocated the shoulder,
while Miss Alice's left side was much
bruised. .....A great many fish were
to be seen in the lateral running
down Fifth street from the WalIing
ditch yesterday. They will never
get back again into the river. A
thousand are thus destroyed where
one would be by netting. A dead
sucker, more than foot long, lay in
the bottom of the stream, showing
that some boys had been having their
sport. Another accident occurred
upon Tuesday, of which no informa-
ton was received until yesterday.
Enos Walling was kicked by his bay
mare, the shoe cutting his right arm
to the bone, which it fractured. i.
There were nineteen prisoners in the

THE DeLamar Nugget says: Mi
ners have some odd fancies on names.
They have fixed the name of "Blaz-
ing Rag" on the lively little village
growing up around the boarding and
lodging houses at the DeLamar mine.
The worst feature of it is that such
names stick after the people are tired
of them. For instance, the quiet and
delightful little town, full of business
and industry, whore the people fol-
lowed their pursuits as peaceably and
quietly as in quaker village, has had
the name of "Toughtown" foisted up
on it, and this is really working an
injury to the residents there. The
people who want to start a Sunday
school down there are handicapped.

DELAxAR NUGerT:

DELAMAR NUGerT: There have
been parties in here recently quietly
Investigating plan Of transmitting
power to run the mill machinery by
electricity, supplied by water power
on Snake river. Had they consulted
the engineering staff Of this great pa
per they might have been informed
that abundant water power could be
obtained much nearer than on the
Snake. Sixteen bars of bullion,
valued at 900, were shipped from
the DeLamar mill on the 9th instant,
the final cleanup for the month of
July. With the previous shipment.
worth sl7,5OO, this makes the mill
output for the month of July $49,500
These figures are not strictly correct
but approximate very closely the
amount. The estimated value of ore
shipped is $4,000. !. We saw in
Jordan Valley the report of an assay
made by a Boise City assayer, on
some samples from Oregon, which
run, SO the report says, sixty-seven
per cent copper and forty-two per
cent lead. Such ore is entirely too
rich to be found in Idaho, but an Ida
no assayer has had the honor of dis
covering its value. The report,
which cost the prospector three dol
lars, rather staggered him.
