Hearts that like theirs did burn.
But she became a victim

To hold the wheel in place.
She fell and bruised her elbow
Then fell and cut her cheek;
And the love they knew

Frank Tomalson, nephew of ID.
n. Baker of our town, met with a
severe and painful accident on
Wednesday, the I'd inst. He was
staying out near Mineral and on the
day mentioned went out hunting
carrying with him a Winchester rifle.
Stopping to rest he placed the bntt
of the gun on a log and laid his right
hand upon the muzzle and rested his
left arm upon his hand, thus leaning
his weight while standing upon the
gun. Unfortunately the butt Of the
gun slipped from the log and striking
the ground gun was discharged, the
ball passing through the right hand
and tearing the bone of the left arm
into fragments. The unfortunate
man is at Uncle Jake Moore's tent
near Mineral and cannot be mooved.
DR.. Numbers was called and dressed
the wounds. The wounded man is
some twenty. five or thirty miles from
Weiser and owing to the isolation
cannot receive proper medical attend

The company have now about $500

The people appear to be rather slow
about taking shares. This is in
explicable as it devolves upon every
man of means and every man who
has any farming interests to come
forward and take stock and help push
the enterprise. Nearly all the
farmers are backword about risking

few days he is getting his name way

good work, too, in his efforts to
awake interest in the building of

plan somewhat different from what
is usually pursued. Instead of pull
ing subscription paper on one he
strikes the farmer for a few days
work with his teams, the merchants
for ''store grub" for the workers,
the mill for -four, etc. One of the
first he met was old Cap Haven, who
readily agreed to "give two teams
five days" Others followed suit in
like manner and at last accounts he
had the promise of tweDty-seven
teams and total of III days work.
Many said Eyes, l, Il work and I'll
stay with the road until the last stone
is turned" Some of the merchants
have agreed to donate all necessary
canned goods and the mill all -four
needed for the laborers. The Idaho
Commercial company will furnish
scrapers, ETC., while the SIGNAL will
close in on the home stretch and
boom the whole works and render any
other aid in its power. This is q

Horace got kicked over five times
by fierce Texas bovine, but came

Mr.. Rhodes, while ont hunting one
day came upon some strange objects.
After picking one up and shaking the
