The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1891-11-28

Thanksgiving. Billy Isaac and Newt.
Paynter won on Il tie.
Billy Schnabel says if any one will
help him he will take Il day off and put
Caldwell's fire apparatus in shape.
This is patriotism for you.
Burglars attempted to enter the resi-
dence of Chas. Sebree the other evening
but were frightened off. There are too
many of these birds in Caldwell lately.
THE TRIBUNE advises the shot gun
remedy Oh a few.
W. +. Wardwell, of Emmett, had
Delos Knox, of the same place, arrested
on charge of assault and battery, and
the case was tried before Judge Beatty,
of this place, last Monday. The jury
brought in verdict of mot guilty"
and the case was dismissed.
The dance at the Commercial hotel
last Thursday evening, was what
might be called a crowded success as
the only thing to mar the en-
joyment of the evening was the want
of more room. Caldwcli's most press
ing want is q large hall suitable for
such occasions.
People in Caldwell generally consider
they have something to be thankful
for. Business last Thursday was ell
tirely suspended and the day given to
the usual time-honored exercises, not
excepting the faithful turkey. The
NJ. Z. ladies gave magnificent dinner
and enjoyed a good patronage. DR..
McCain's Thanksgiving sermon was a
masterpiece and was fully appreciated
by the large congregation.
A. A. Hoover had the body of a
young man named Bert Earnst, in
charge yesterday. for embalming. He
died of quick consumption, and was
brought over from Jordan Valley Thurs
day. His mother, who lives at Amhurst,
Ohio, had been notified and the body
was shipped last night to that place
for burial. Earnst drove the Jordan
Valley stage for Billy Schnabel for
some months this summer and was well
known rs steady, Industrious man.
Billy Carlton has a new invention
and this time it is continuance for
raising the waters of Snake river for
irrigating purposes. Water wheels
with buckets for this purpose have
generally failed for lack of sufficient
current to turn the wheel, but Mr..
Carlton seems to have surmounted
this difficulty. Should the invention
prove successful it will be grand
thing for Snake river valley, both for
mining and agricultural purposes.
Mrs. Mccain, wife Of Rev. J. S. Nc
Cain, arrived in Caldwell from the east,
last Saturday morning, very sick with
pneumonia contracted on the trip.
She is very little better at time of going
to press. Mrs. Mccain was on the ill.
fated train that was recently "held up
by ten or twelve highwaymen near
Racine, Wisconsin. The passengers of
the train were not disturbed, but the
express car was blown open with dyna-
mite and the safes thrown out and car
ried away in wagons.
York, of the firm of Lamb & York,
proprietors of the Silver City Avalanche
and DE Lamar Nugget, occupied the
seat Of honor in the holy Of holes of
this Office last Wednesday. Horn, of
the Nampa Leader, was also present,
but refused to sit down, as he looks
upon THE TRIBUNE with suspicion
since he got into the delinquent sub
scribers' chair one day last summer.
They arc both jolly good fellows and
seem to enjoy the immense wealth they
make out of their respective journals.
THE TRIBUNE succeeded in borrowing
two bits and a chew Of tobacco, and
consequently did not feel embar raised
in the presence of the millionaires.
Although not generally known, Cald-
well has narrowly escaped destruction
by fire twice tuis week. The old Has
kell house took fire in the kitchen one
evening and it was only after hard
fight that the flames were checked.
The next night lamp fell at the Com
mercial hotel and caused considerable
rustling in that neighborhoOd to save
the building. But these fires were
checked at the very start, for if decent
blaze ever gets half show in Caldwell,
