Silver Messenger: Alex. Nc
Leoad, miner who used to work
at the Poverty Flat mines, near
Clayton, was thrown from his horse
on q trail below Salmon City over
an embankment of rocks, 800 feet
in height, a few days ago, and in
stantly killed. It is said that nearly
every bone in his body was broken.
Custer county will be tried to
be won back to its first love-the
republican party, this fall, but it is
too far gone; the mines closed
down; the ranchers with big crops
and no market; the country fast
becoming depopulated all on ac-
count of the low price of silver. It
is no wonder that the people are
shouting for the peoples or silver
party in this county. Custer county
has always been the banner repub-
lican county, but this year a great
change has taken place. Good bye,
old parties; good bye. You have
left US, and we now part from you.
The Dickens Custer mill, at
Custer, started up Thursday morn
ing on ore from Col. James A. Nc
Fadden's Yankee Fork mine. The
mill will make a run Of between
two and three months. it is thought.
It has been long time since the
Obstetrics have had the pleasure Of
listening to the dropping stamps Of
this old reliable thirty-stamp mill,
and their noise makes the once quiet
cannon vibrate with welcome ring.
The mill has been overhauled
throughout, and under its efficient
management will do good work. It
is hoped that the mill will continue
to run steadily, for when Custer is
running the whole county "do
move"
Payette Independent: A. J.
Crook, peoples nominee for Gov
ernor of Idaho, has heretofore been
a republican. Socially he is said
to be one of the most popular men
in the state. From the best infor-
nation we can get, it is clearly ap-
parent that he was the strongest
candidate the populists could have
selected, and will run several hun
dred votes ahead Of his ticket
Judge Pilmer is spending few days
at home this week. John is one OF
the stalwart republicans of Idaho,
but he is at loss to know what he
will do with his vote this fall, since
his old friend Jack Crook has been
nominated for Governor by the peo-
pies party.

the Butte Miners Union is here.
He fell in with the ranks of the
prisoners to-day as they were COM
ing from their meals and had a talk
with them. Frank Gapahi, whom
everybody now recognizes as His
Anarchist Fatness," is in attend
