Idaho State Tribune: On last
Monday, w. D. Waite, single
man 36 years old, was shot by
George E. Dunkle, at Eagle City,
near Murray. The ball struck him
about one-half an inch above the
left ear and came out about the
center Of the forehead. He lived
until 2 o'clock, about three
hours after the shooting occurred.
After full investigation of the
causes which led to the shooting
before Justice of the Peace McC Cork
indale at Murray, the defendant
Dunkle was discharged on the
ground that he had killed Waite
while acting in the defense of his
own life.
!. The same day that the homicide
at Eagle City occurred, another
similar unfortunate affair happened
at Wardner. It seemed that James
Bradley caused a quarrel with John
Todd over q glass of beer, in the
latter's saloon. Todd then procured
his shotgun and shot Bradley and
killed him instantly. Mr.. Todd is
a man about so years of age and
has large family and is in Jail in
this city.

proved to be unavailing, and the
unfortunate lady died next morning
about 10 o'clock.
The past few weeks has witnessed
q decided improvement in the bust
ness of the town. Animated by the
reports Of the starting up Of the
mines many parties have come in
and embarked in various enter
prises. Nearly every business house
in town has found q tenant. The
continued operation Of the mines
and the possible resumption Of
others will result in a solid and
permanent growth Of Wallace and
the surrounding towns. The fact
that 90 many of the mines have re-
sumed at the present low price Of
lead and silver creates : belief in
their continuance and q hope that
others may be enabled to fall into
line.
