The friends of MIR. q. ID. Stafford will |
be grieved to learn that his barn and |
about forty tons of hay were destroyed |

blaze was either started by careless !
tramps or are incendiary.:

is so modest that she retires to the

Mr.. Fletcher Lovejoy, of Lower

kept from the door a few days longer,
for which fact we are duly grateful.
At recent meeting the town trus-
tees appointed J. NJ. Martin night

c. J. Dobson, clerk of the board of
trustees of Franklin district, reports
one of the most successful schools in
the county under the management of
Mrs. Gillespie. Out of an enrolment
of less than sixty there is an attendance
of fifty-twO.
Tonight is Halloween and the boys
will undoubtedly be up to all sorts of
tricks. We advise the night watch to
Keep his eye on Willie Dryden. Jimmie
Apperson, Reuben Cox, and that little
Schnabel boy. They are bad eggs when
they get together.
Sheriff Oldham was a Caldwell visi-
tor last Friday, but did not call On THE
TRIBUNE. The oversight will cost him
at least two votes should he again be a
candidate for public hon6rs. He occu-
pied too much of our valuable time
before election to throw off on us now.
The Aamold concert at tho Presby-

The mail route from this place to
Emmett has been ordered discon-
tinued and a six-times-a-week service
will be put on between that place and
Boise City. The people in that coun-
try are entitled to a daily route and we
are glad they have got it, hut we can
not see why our tri-weekly service
should be discontinued. 1t is almost
an absolute necessity.
The Baker City ball team sent an
invitation to the Caldwell team to

| Rev. J. s. Mccain, pastor of the NJ. E..
church arrived in Caldwell last Friday
evening. The NJ. E. people have had
considerable trouble in getting pastor
this year, Rev. Mccain being the third
since conference. THE TRIBUNE is of
the opinion that they have found good
man who possesses tho necessary west
ern qualifications Of being both rustler
and a slayer in Rev. Mccain, and pre-.
diets that he will soon have large con-
grsgation.
Mr.. A. !. Reagan, one of Boise
valleys Oldest settlers, who has 4 fine
ranch few miles above Caldwell.
started last Thursday for Sedalia, Mis-
souri,, to visit the scenes Of his early
manhood. Mr.. Reagan came to this
country in 1852, and this is his first
trip back. He says when he left Mis-
souri, he could have purchased whole
sections for two bits. We prophesy he
will find real estate more valuable now.
A car load of machinery for boring
artesian wells arrived from Salt Lake
this week and is in operation just back
Of the barn on the old Strah0rn place.
| If water is struck there, wells will be

The projectors are enthusiastic and feel
sure that they will strike artosian water
