THE DEATH-DEALING DIRK.


Effect Last Saturday Night.
Between the hours Of 10 and II
O'Clock last Saturday night A. s
Abbott left his room and started
upon the streets with the evident
intention of carving" some one.
1t seems that his brother, Eugene
Abbott, had that night become in
toxicated and was taken to bed by
some friends. Asa was anxious to
find his brother, and first visited
the Private Club saloon in search
of him, in company with a party
who will be an important witness at
the hearing. He then retraced his
steps to the Turner House where he
found John Arthur, the steward,
and, asked him where his brother
was. Arthur reolied that Eugene
was all right" Abbott then invited
Arthur out doors and, using very
abusive language, Arthur threatened
to slap him, whereupon Abbott in
vited him to do SO, but upon second
thought Arthur replied. NO; my
mother taught me never TO strike
fool or cripple and turned to re-
enter the hotel, when Abbott struck
him upon the left shoulder with
knife. Arthur grabbed cane
from the hands Of boy close by
and attempted to defend himself.
While the scuffle was going on
Justice Joe T. Sprague happened to
pass along the sidewalk as Abbott
made desperate lunge at Arthur's
left breast with the knife, and threw
up his left hand to ward off the blow,
If possible. He doubtless succeeded
in saving Arthur's life but at the
same time received q wound that
will incapacitate him for work for
months TO come. An artery of his
left wrist was nearly severed, but
this did not prevent the long dirk
penetrating Arthur's left breast just
above the nipple to considerable
depth. making a serious but happily
not fatal wound.
Drs. Smith and Baugh were i'm
called and dressed the
wounds Of Arthur and Sprague and
they are at this writing getting
along very we'll.
Abbott paced himself under the
Sheriff's protection, and on Sunday,
Abbott claiming that he was unable
to leave his room, Judge Clinton
named Wednesday at 0 o'clock as
the day and hour for the examine
tion-which has since been deferred
till next Monday at 8 o'clock.
Abbott's bonds for his appear
ance for preliminary examination
were placed at $4,000, which he had
great difficulty in obtaining, but
which we're finally filed Wednesday
afternoon with Geo. r. Mahoney,
Geo. ID. Bell, T.. T. Rohrer, r. Ben
nett, A. J. Bruce, w. III. Baker and
A. j. Griffin as sureties.
As the case will receive thorough
investigation before Judge Clinton
on Monday, the 18th instant, at 8
o'clock, and not wishing to do either
party an injustice, we refrain from
comment until after the examina-
ton, when we purpose publishing
all testimony in the case.
While both of the carved" gen.
tlemen have the sympathy Of the
entire community, the condition Of
Judge Sprague is most deeply de-
plored. as he has a large family
depending upon him for support
and is rendered by this act helpless
for some time to come.

Progress OF the Great Irrigation
Enterprise nj Mountain Home.

Progress OF the Great Irrigation
Enterprise nj Mountain Home.
Mr.. Wilson, the energetic travel.
ing agent Of the Boise Statesman.
was here a few days ago and sent
his paper the following letter regard
ing Improvements in and around
this place.
MOUNTAIN HoME, May s.-The re-
cent change in the management of
the Mountain Home Canal & Land
company's land and irrigation enter
prise at this place seems 10 be meet
ing with more popular sentiment
and the immediate support of Noun
tain Homes enterprising citizens.
The irrigation company's manager,
William NJ. Ingersoll, is western
man, having been located in Denver
and Rocky mountain regions
number of years, consequently he
has long ago fully adopted western
mans ways, and is taking hold of
this enterprise with great energy
and pluck, which is certainly the
foreruner Of success. Over 800
acres of sagebrush land has been
cleared within a distance of one
mile of Mountain Home this spring.
This land will be put into oats,
alfalfa and potatoes and irrigated
by water from the large reservoir
which is located in the foothills
about three miles northeast Of town.
This reservoir has a capacity of 49,
SOC. 600 cubic feet of water and is
capable of furnishing an absolute
and unfailing supply to irrigate TO-
600 acres Of land.
The present management, how
ever, are figuring on the construc-
ton of another reservoir farther
back in the mountains, which when
constructed will more than double
the capacity.
Your correspondent was driven
out to the reservoir by Mr.. PAYNE,
Of the Mountain Home BULLETIN,
and was greatly surprised at find
ing such large body Of water. Tn
fact ii is more like lake than what
most peoples impression is of
reservoir, and it is over four and
half miles in Giro 'mferance and has
an average depth of % feet; in some
places it is over 80 feet deep. Just
now the reservoir is full and great
quantity Of water is going to waste
which, with an additional series of
reservoirs could be saved. As water
is the necessary commodity required
to make the sage crush plains
around Mountain Home blossom
like a rose, it is only a question of
short time when capitalists who are
seeking investments will find that
there are but few more promising
than the promotion of irrigation
enterprises in southern Idaho.

Mr Cleveland showed a fitting respect
TO the memory Of ex- President HAYES in
deciding to attend his funeral Il has

the outgoing President, bat when Mr..
Hayes himself was inauguraied there
were none at all, except the outgoing
President. General Grant.
Washington Was alive when his sue
cessor, John Adams, Was elected, but
died soon after. The next ex-President
10 die vas Madison, whose death occur
red during the first term Of his immedi-
ate successor. Then came the simultane-
Gus deaths Of the elder Adams and JEFF
erson during the term Of the younger
Adams. Monroe died during Jackson's 5
frst term, leaving John Quincy Adams
the only ex-President From that time
until the term Of Polk there were no
deaths n the ranks Of ex-Presidents, OF
whom there were four when Polk was
inaugurated, J. O. Adams, Van Buren,
Jackson and Tyler. The elder Harrison
was the first President to die in office.
Polk lived 10 witness the Inauguration Of
bis successor, Taylor, but lot much long

old rissls, Adams and Jackson, passed
away. There were only tao ex-Presi-
dents during Fiilmore's time, Van Bur
