L. II. CaIaWay mas Deen appointed
referee in the case of J. w. Hollenbeak
VS.. Robt. Young, and is holding court
trying to bring about a just and AMIGA
BILE settlement.
Mrs. Chas. A. Hand is quite sick
with the grip and pneumonia. The
other members Of the family are also
indisposed, and the mansion on Wash.
ington Heights is converted into tenn
rary hospital. Friends earnestly hope
for speedy recovery of all.
Mr.. T. T.. Danilson, the merchant
prince of Ontario, Oregon, was in town
a few days this week renewing acquaint-
ance with old friends. Mr.. Danilson
was one of Caldwell's pioneers, and
that he did not stay here has been
cause for regret by those who knew
him.
We cheerfully acknowledge scoop
on the part of the Boise Statesman in
discovering "the first robin, the harbin-
ger of spring" We come right back
at them without fear of contradiction
that this is the only paper in the state
which has discovered that winter is
lingering the lap of spring."
Geo. F. Mahoney, assessor and tax
collector of Gilmore county, was in
town Wednesday and strayed into THE
TRIBUNE den. Before he could back
out his retreat was cut off and he had
to face the music. He says Gilmore
county is prospecting as she never pros.
pered when a part of old Alturas.
There is moral in this fact for Canyon
county people.
Mrs. r. E. Gwinn, of Chicago, Illinois,
but formerly of this place, arrived in
Caldwell last Tuesday, for visit with
old friends and relatives. She is at
present stopping with her daughter,
Mrs. H. d. Blatchley, but intends going
to De Lamar, to visit her son, James H.
in few days. The many friends
Mrs. Gwinn made when residing here,
are pleased to see her.
1. H. Holland, of Vale, Oregon, was
in town last Tuesday. He had just
returned from the far east, where he
took three cars of horses Mr.. Holland
says that the market is very poor in
deed. Since the advent of electric and
motor cars, street car companies have
horses to sell instead of being purchas-
ers. 1t looks as though the. march of
progress had spoiled great industry
of the range raising horses.
The Caldwell sports were not in it at
the horse race at Nampa last Saturday.
Capt. Demands horse won the race and
incidentally few Caldwell shekels. A
race is arranged for Caldwell week
from today, when more money will
change owners. Their races seem to
be for BLOOD" and although the Kinds
horse has been beaten twice, his back
ers stay with him with probably more
pluck than judgment.
The Board of Trustees having had
the proposition to purchase hook and
ladder truck for the fire department
under consideration for some time have
determined to call mass meeting of
citizens, taxpayers and those who
have property to bum, to explain the
situation and consider ways and means
whereby suitable apparatus can be
obtained. The meeting will be held in
Reed 4 Dorman's Office or in the town
hall Monday evening.
That COMPOUNDED ground hog has got
things into pretty mess by bringing
six weeks more winter last Tuesday
We never could see why that meddle-
some critter could not stay in his hole
and behave himself on February 2, as
on any other day. lie evidently sue
ceeded in his tiendish mission, for the
coolest day we have had this winter
was Wednesday. We still have an
other chance however, as Amos Lively
says that the old Missouri ground hog
which infests these parts, does not
como out until Feb. l4th.
Caldwell people are generally honest.
True, last winter we did steal coal, but
we made no secret Of it. 1t was a
necessity. The railroad company re-
fused to sell it and it was steal or
freeze. This year coal has been plenty,
and in no place on the line is coal-steal
ing frowned upon as in Caldwell. Take
Cooper's yard for instance. lie has
