Three men were drowned in Snake
river at Wawawai last Saturday even
ing and two men from Pullman were
drowned in st. Joe lake Monday even
ing. Two of the men drowned in
Snake river were brothers of Mrs.
Wilson who kept the millinery store IN
this city until last winter.-Moscow
Mirror.
James Eastman, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
o. F. Eastman. is supposed to nave
been drowned in Snake river last Mon
day. About 8 o'clock with fishing tackle
he started for the river and that was
the last seen of him by the family. AS
night approached and he had not re-
turned his relatives became uneasy, and
with lanterns started down the river
in search of him. At a point of rocks
just below Bromley's ice house. where
he had been seen about o'clock, they
found one Of his fish poles set, string
of trout and his bucket of minnows.
MIR. Eastman was subject to epileptic
fits and it was evident while in this
IcOndition he had fallen into the river
and drowned. As diligent a search as
possible with boat and hook was
made, but the body could not be found.
Dynamite was then used, but not to
the effect desired. It is quite likely the
body got into the current and was car
ried miles below.-Idaho Falls Times.
About o'clock p. m. yesterday a man
by the name of Corron rushed into
DR.. Lees office explaining that a man
named McCullum had hit him on the
head with a shovel, and that N. B.
Sebree had been terribly beaten by a
man whose name we failed to learn.
Uncle Bill Kinkaid is authority for the
statement that Corron ran so quick and
lstreakful to get away from McCollum
that he couldn't possibly know who
beat Mr. Sebree. The extent of
Sebree's injuries are not yet known, but
he was no doubt terribly beaten and
cut UP about the face and head. The
trouble is supposed to have commenced
over some mule nsaction.-Caldwell
Tribune.
Hon. J. I. Crutcher, of owyhee coun-
ty, was on Monday nominated by the
President to be United States marshal
| for Idaho.
| Mr.. Crutcher. Kentucky Democrat
of the old school. is a pioneer of Idaho.
In the early days he served two terms
as sheriff of Boise county, which he
also twice represented in the legisla-
ture. Later on, in 1885, he was joint
councilman for Owyhee and Washing
ton counties. and was also a member
of the constitutional convention.
For twenty or more years he has
been resident of Owyhee county, the
most of which time he spent in min
ing operations.
| He is a gentleman of great culture
and wonderful conversational powers,
| of remarkable nerve and enviable pop
ularity. His appointment will give
perfect satisfaction to his party, and
be we'll received by all, irrespective of
politics.
| He is emphatically a Stevenson ap-
pointment. Ex-Governor Stevenson,
while in Washington a year ago last
spring, called upon the President, and
personally and strongly endorsed Mr..
Crutcher for the position, and stayed
with him until his name landed in the
Senate chamber, although the eX-gov-
ernor could have at any time secured
the place for himself, for it was Of
fered him. This fact is an instance OF
Stevenson's faithfulness and loyalty
to any friend or cause espoused by
| him.-Boise Democrat.
Colonel George V. Bryan yesterday
made a small payment on the bond
that he secured some months ago on
the Lepley group of mines at Della
mar. and the bond was extended until
| January LIST.
This transaction is OF the highest i'm
portance, as it shows that Colonel
Bryan is pleased with the property
and indicates that he expects further
development to justify him in taking
the property at the price fixed $500 900
