day came a letter saying that theil
aged father, who has been ailing fol
months, had passed away. We wish tC
express our heartfelt sympathy to the
grief stricken family in their hours OF
bereavement, which has robbed them
of both father and mother.
The people of Boise have been af-
flicted by ditch on Grove street in
tested with disease germs; ditto Salt
Lake City. How about those rush
swamps on the railroad land in the
center of the city filled with rubbish
and stagnant water; those swamps at
west end of town; that Pacific hotel
sewer; those waste bitches in the south
and west of town? These evils should
be looked after by the city board OF
health.
A party of young ladies are contem1
plating swimming excursion on th(
Boise this afternoon. The exact place
has not as yet been made public, but
we hope that they will not be bothered
as an untimely intrusion may prove
mutually embarrassing. The young
ladies are superb swimmers and with
proper encouragement and little
practice in the art they will sport like
nymphs upon the waves of the beauti,
full Boise.
c. P. Huntington is reported as say
ing that if our railroads were manned
by Chinese there would be no strikes.
This without doubt is probably true.
but the time to enunciate such senti-
ments is not propitiOus. The Ameri.
can people feel too keenlv the indus
trial depression to listen to such ex-
pressions with cOmplacency. If the
initiative Chinese coolie or other cheap
labOrer were substituted for the pres
ent employees the result could be more
easily conjectured that expressed.
Such an expression from such man at
this time is absolutely silly.
The people of Boise City were
greatly shocked and surprised when
it was learned Yesterday, that exPost-
master E. r. Leonard, of Boise, who
has been missing for several week. is
defaulter to the amount of 81 1893 IL.
The post Office inspector arrived from
Washington, last Sunday, and found a
shortage to the above amount, which
Leonard's bondsmen, John Lemp and
the Thomas Logan estate, will make
good. It is not known what steps will
be taken tc apprehend the defaulter,
but there is no doubt but what the
government will take it's silent and
easy course of bringing the defaulter
to justice.
Mr.. Newell, recently from Seattle,
who has taken up several acres OF land
near the Warm Springs ferry. was in
town Thursday. Mr. Newell has spent
several thousand dollars improving
his ground at that place. He cOntem-
plates starting hop ranch. where Al,
abundance of water can be furnished
from three large flowing wells which
he has on the place. Mr.. Newell is
we'll known in Seattle as An enterpris-
ing man and we are satisfied that in
the course of year or so, a new cOun-
try will spring up on the Snake.

Jimmie Turner, a gambler, was ia
tally slot by Billy Gilbert at the Free
Roll saloon in Boise City, at 1890 o'clock
Thursday morning. The shooting &C.
Cured within the doorway of the
saloon. An alteration between the
bartender. a Mead, and Maxon, friend
of Gilbert's, was what started the affray.
Maxon slapped bartender Mead in the
face, the latter reached for his gun
under the bar, when Maxon said:
"Don't do it Mead I'm not armed"
Turner drew his gun and advanced to-
ward Gilbert, who was trying to stop
the row, but observing the gun in the
hand of Turner, said: you'll pull a
gun on me, will your" and with this
flashed his revolver and shot Turner
twice DR.. Perrault was called, but
was unable to relieve the sufferer, who
died two hours later. The shooting
was due to some trouble that has been
brewing between the two, for some
time, but no one knows the exact cause.
Turner is we'll known AS being tough
nut with a gun, while Gilbert claims he
had to do 1t as Turner meant to kill
him.
