The year 1892 will long be remembered
all over the United States for its uuusual
climatic conditions. In this portion of the

the weather was the extremely hot days OF

isted and that was promptly placed under
quarantine two miles out of Nampa with

The report that the supposedly infected
Japs were driven out of Idaho into Hunt
ngton is without foundation.

recently went from the Palouse country into
that region for the purpose of running in a
band OF horse. thieves had met them in their
camp at Thorn Springs near the forks of
Salmon river, and after calling on them to
had opened up a running fight
with them. Five of the horse thieves we're
killed and four escaped. This report is con-
irmed by two or more different parties, but
nothing more definite could be learned at
the time.

purchase of counterfeit mopey. Somewhere
IN this series of circumstances there is
