That on December l., 1890, defendants,
without the consent OF the plaintiffs,
connected an ordinary stove inside the
the building with tin oil can outside
by means OF a pipe, through which they
ran crude oil into the stove. One
week later, to-wit: on December s,
1890, Mrs. Smith had some callers
at the house. and as it was little
chilly she attempted to light the stove,
but not understanding it, accidentally
upset upset the oil in the pipe, with the
result that the house was burned to the
! ground in few minutes, che and her
friend barely escaping with their lives
from the building. For the loss OF the
building, fence and a quantity of
shrubbery and plants plaintiffs seek to
recover damages in the sum of $1,000.

AGEgAT WRECK AND AN IMPRESSIVE
LESSON.

There is a remarkable resemblance
between the Grant-Ward failure and
that of young Field and his business as
sociates. In both cases great name
had been traded on, and the public was
yictimized unsparingly. The conven-
lent plea of insanity may serve with a
few indulgent people of weak intellects,
but to people of well-ordered minds
the whole thing resolves itself into a
mania of rampant and interruptions
speculation, to which the degenerate
son OF great father lent himself with
giddy eagerness.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-19

the whole connection, the thing is dis
piriting in the extreme. 1t is lament
able conviction to have borne in on one,
though it is confirmed from 80 many
sources, that single unconscionable
scoundrel can uproot his whole family,
far and near. This Field episode is an
other impressive lesson against reckless
and unscrupulous speculation.
What is wanted in the United States
ia little common honesty.

A CHRONICLE ESPECIAL"

The San Francisco Chronicle OF Thurs
day contains an alleged Especial tele-
gram from Yuma, telling the story OF
the Yuma Indians now in the county
Jail here, under sentence OF death Tor
killing their medicine man. A peculiar
feature about the Especial" telegram is
that it contains almost word for word
an article which was written Tor the
HERALD by Mr.. J. s. Bancroft OF this
city, and published in the Sunday ed,
ton of this paper. Such a special
evidences a decided enterprise, besides
a peculiar sense of the ethics OF newspa-

Aaoslscr Company seeking Route
through tire Gomsh Boise Pass.

From the Statesman we learn
that O. L. Miller has charge OF the
party deputed to make a prelim-
mary survey for a railroad between
Butte, Montana, and Boise City.
They left Boise Oh the Goth, and
Mr.. Miller said they would go 10
Rocky Bar first, and expected to
reach this place about the 9th.
From here the party will 60 through
. country rich enough in mineral
and timber sufficient Of itself to sup
port the road. which Miller feels
confident will soon follow the sur
vey. He expects I'd return TO Boise
in less than ninety days and make
his report, and does not seem to en-
terrain a doubt OF success. ID. T.
Babbett, formerly assistant engineer
on the Union Pacific, will do the
surveying, and ID. +. Miller goes
along to write a description of the
country. Our people should well
come this surveying party and rem
der them all possible aid and in
formation--for we need a railroad
outlet, and need il badly.
The Statesman Of a later date
says: The proposed railroad to
connect Butte City with Boise City
Through the Rocky Bar country, J
and to be extended hence to some
point on the shores Of the Pacific
may be fairly assumed TO be among
the probabilities of the early future
The fact that such a road will ira.
verse region rich in mines, timber
and agricultural and pastural re-
sources leaves no reason for doubt
that ii would be a good paying i'm
vestment from the very beginning.
The surveyors are now in the field
for the purpose of examining the
country between Boise and Butte
and determining tho best route for
the line of the road. The result Of
their labors will I've watched with
intense interest at both ends of the
line"

sroIi.rSo A MINING DEAL.

The Idaho Avalanche says; Quite
an important mining deal was on
the eve OF being closed here few
days ago. which would, in all prob
ability, have Increased the output Of
bullion and the business of the
camp very materially, but just on
the eve of the contamination of the
trade a man who had an old grudge
against some of the parties in the
deal, got to the ear Of one of the pur-
chasers, and. by telling what many
here know to be most willful false
hood, stopped or delayed the deal.
The man who did this is trying to
dispose Of mining property HIM
self, and when parties come TO in
quire into its merits the other fellow
will have his revenge and will bring
every influence he can bear to pre-
vent sale. Thus matters go in
this camp, and thus they have been
going for many years. Many of the
people have been here so long, and
this practice Of venting personal
malice has been so long in vogue
that there is scarcely property
owner in the camp wishing to make
a sale, who will not find some one
ready to give the property bad
name. We have known of several
instances of capital being frightened
away from here by this cut-each-
other's-throat idiocy. Any man
with a grain of sense ought 10 see
that mining is in no way a eompc-
ting industry, and every disparag-
ing remark about neighboring
property, indirectly Injuries the en-
tire industry. If A succeeds
in disposing Of his mine, his neigh
Dor b stands all the better show of
finding q customer for his, provided
A has not swindled the purchaser.
But here, If A finds a buyer, d will
try to spoil the deal by saying dis
paraging things about AS property,
in the hope that the buyer can he
induced to take his instead. BY
this means the buyer is frightened
away and neither make a sale. II
is time to stop this kind of idiotic
procedure. This country is full of
good mining properties, the greater
number of which belong to persons
who have not means enough to de-
velop or work them. The majority
of such owners are willing to sell at
reasonable prices, and no one of
them ever improves his chances by
preventing the sale Of his neighbours
property.
So far as the above goes. a better
word-picture of the actions of some
men in this section could not be
painted. But this is not all. If
they, by chance, hear Of a sale pend
ing, they forthwith resort to letter
writing, intimating that they are in
possession of facts regarding the
property which a little "hush"
money would cause them to sup
press. If sale is made, they
trump up imaginary "prior rights"
and harrass the new owners by law
suits with the sole view of being
bought off. If patents are applied
for, in some instances, the original
stakes are removed and a contest
attempted for the only purpose of
blackmail. Such men have been a
serious drawback to the prosperity
of this mining section for years, and
summary action by our good citi-
zens may yet become necessary in
order to rid ourselves of these sneak
ing blackmailers.
