gram to The HERALD. Wood River poll
oicians are on tip-t toe awaiting the Presi-
dents appointment Of United States Judge
for Idaho. Lyttleton Price, of HALEY, al
though endorsed by Idaho's three SEN
ators, being refused the nomination, it was
supposed the nomination might go to Judge
Beatty, ex-chief justice, who stands high
with Washington officials of the inner cir
cles. But Washington has an eye to the
election of '92 and does not care to antag-
onize the United States Senators from
Idaho. While not approving the nomina-
ton Of Price because of his influence in the
Idaho legislature promptly electing three
United States Senators, who now petition
for his appointment, the administration is
naturally looking around for a compromise
that would be no political handicap. In
quiries from Washington indicate that the
administration is now considering the
names of l. n. Sullivan, chief Justice of the
state of Idaho and Texas Angel his old law
partner. Both are lawyers of ability, who
have not been in politics much, but who
have at all times commanded respect and
honor.

age Wood River sentiment is in favor of
either Angel or Sullivan. 1t is the general
opinion that Angel, will get it. ssThere is
certainly no contest between him and Sui =
ivan. Politicians not in the political swim
had hoped Beatty might be appointed.

succeeded in allaying to great extent the
excitement under which the Indians labored
yesterday over the killing of Few Tails.
The general has issued orders for grand
review to take place at Wolf creek possibly

chiefs that they must not look upon the
movement of the troops in reviewing as one
directed against them, but rathera as an evil
dence that the campaign is drawing to
close.

agent, Captain Pierce, takes place to-mor-
row. Fifty-tive hundred people will be fed.
For the hrst time one beef will be issued to
twenty two people instead of thirty as
formerly. This increase grertly pleases
the Indians.

chiefs from both the Ogalallas and
Brules to send to Washington to set their
case before the interior department They
will be accompanied by +. M Lewis, special
Indian agent, who arrived for that purpose
