The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1894-08-04

where he will be joined by rev. L. ,
Hicks and wife and Miss Mary Gipson
who will leave next week.
The Idaho Press Association will
meet at Boise City, Monday, September
"a, 1894. 1t is expected that all thu
newspapers of Idaho will be repre-
sented as business of much importance
will be transacted. An interesting
program will be enacted.
News comes from Leona, Idaho,
great gold excitement prevailing Oh
the Yahk river. Bonner's Ferry is a
most depopulated, owing to the STAN
pede for the gold fields. Gold hunters
returning from the Yahk river, report
as high as 50 to the pan.
Since the building boom struck
Caldwell the town has been overrun
with contractors from Boise City
From all that we can learn from these
parties there is more progress in the
building line going on in Caldwell
than there is in Boise City at present.
1t is reported that the japanese and
Chinese navies came together recently,
resulting in the defeat of the latter.
From all accounts we think it much
better, set to than the recent Corbett-
Mitchell fiasco. 1t also shows the eff
cacy of the torpedo in modern warfare.
The supply of groceries ordered by
Mr.. C. r. Smith, of the c. y. d. store,
should have arrived several days ago,
but have been delayed owing to the
strike. Mr.. Smith expects to be in
readiness to supply all his old custom
ers with groceries about the middle OF
next week.
An addition to the plank walk on
Main Street from A. A. Hoover's to
the depot walk was put in place this
week at the expense of Messrs. Isidor
Mayer, B. b. HALEY and the city. 1t is
a great improvement, making it much
more convenient for pedestrians going
to and from the depot.
Mr.. Newell, the enterprising hop
raiser from Snake river, was in town
this week. Although Mr.. Newell has
several large flowing wells on his ranch,
he has engaged Mr.. Dodd to drive pipe
for at least a half dozen more, which
will furnish him with an abundance of
water for all purposes.
Mr.. N. b. Sebree, water master for
the Sebree Ditch Company, who was
badly cut with shovel, while engaged
in a fight over water with man named
Shell, has been confined to his bed ever
since the unfortunate affair, suffering
severely from internal injuries. The
friends of both parties are at loss to
understand the true cause of the row,
as they had always been good friends.
The body of man was found float
ing in the Boise river near Hamilton
Davis ranch about six miles from
town yesterday morning, by party of
small boys. Coroner Ed. Maxey was
notified and had the body brought to
the city where it was placed in coffin
and inferred in the Canyon Hill Gem
etery. The body is that of Henry Horn
who was drowned while trying to cross
the Boise river between Star and Mid
dleton about month ago.
w. E. Bowen, editor of the Ne,cs,
met with very severe and painful &C
cident last Thursday morning. In
moving a large Gordon job press, in
some unaccountable manner it was
overturned, catching Mr.. Bowen as it
went over and pinning him to the floor,
causing very severe sprain of the left
ankle. Mr.. Bowen was held down by
the weight of the big press for some
time before help arrived and he was
removed Ne1Cs.
The ranchers down the valley have
been caused a great deal of inconven-
fence by several freight cars blocking
the wagon road crossing going to
Young's field the last two days. There
isn't day passes but what one of the
crossings is blocked and very often
farmers and pedestrians have had to
wait for hours before being able to
cross, when it would take but few
seconds for the railroad hands to un-
couple the cars to allow wagons and
pedestrians to pass; but through bull
headedness or laziness they don't do it,
and chances are they never will until
something is done to learn them les
son.
