anxious to get the girl we will
see that you get her, won't we
Dick ?"
Nov you touch my tenderest
point" answered Dick. "I feel
for these young folks who are
dying to get spliced and the old
man standing between with a
breech-loader double barreled
shotgun. I have helped steal
many girl for the boys, and |
enjoy the excitement. but, The
continued in a solemn undertone,
II don't lelieve these stolen
matches always comes out right
in the end. | have noticed that
generally they turn out poorly
and make lots of trouble and bad
feelings. But that's their bust
ness, not mine; we will get the
girl for you, and the sooner it is
over with the better it will be,
while the weather is good. You
know that the old Sheepeatel
linens hanging around the camp
say this is going to be the cold
est winter within the recollect-
ion of the oldest native, and
some of them are awful old.'
To make a long story short,
the parties then and there agreed
to start the next day for Salmon
City to steal away the beautiful
Juliann Shellbark and transplant
her in the fertile Loon creek
field of society.

CHAPTER II.

In due time the party OF three
-Josephus, Jack and Dick-ar-
rived in the vicinity of Salmon
City, and hid themselves and
their stock in the willows mile
or two below town. Josephus
managed to get note to Juliann,
and she was ready and equipped
for the journey when Dick APP
peared at the appointed place
with broncho saddled for the
journey.
Instead of returning by the
old Leesburg and Yellow Jacket
trail, the party decided to 'come
in by Yankee Fork and Jordan
creek to throw the elder Shell
bark off the track. 1t was a
beautiful moonlight evening, and
as the party rode up the Salmon
to the upper ford, they sang:
Zone more river TO cross; and
that's the river of Jordan" and
joked and laughed over their
success and the trick they play
ed on old man Shellbark.
On the evening of the third
day the party made camp at the
mouth of Jordan creek, above the
present town of Bonanza, and
about half way between where
the brewery is now situated ano

saddle horses and the pack mule
carrying Juliann's wedding outfi

and encouraged by a meagr,

After supper and a sociabl,
smoke, the boys gathered heal

were resaddled and the mule re

CHAPTER I.

early days OF Loon creek, t-en
a prosperous placer mining camp
lying twenty miles northwest of
Bonanza. 1t was on the first or
second day of December, 1870 or
III, or somewhere along there.
1t had been a successful mining
season at Loon creek, and the
town of Orc Grande was in the
zenith of it's boom and resplend-
ent with prosperity. Full purs-
es and good ground, with pros
pect of a coming season of big
clean ups, made the boys happy
and jolly. About 500 men and
several women were wintering
in the camp. The fall had been
unusually mild, and all were pre-
dieting an open winter and ear
ly spring.
On the evening above mention
ed, three miners, named respect
lively Jack Doe, Dick Roe and
Jesephus Donks, stood at the bar
of one of the big saloons of Orc
Grande smiling and talking
over their prospects. About the
time of the fifth "smile" the con-
yersation changed in this wise :
'Oh, by the way" commenced
Dick, addressing his friend jose
plus, II thought you were going
to get married all so fast this
winter, and bring your bride to
Orc Grande to spend the honey
moon p
WELL" replied Josephus, in q
drawing manner, 1.-The truth of
the matter is that old man Shell
bark, my intended father-in- law,
is wintering in the bosom of his
family at Salmon City, and he
swears by everything good and
bad that he will fill the body of
that Josephus Donks full of
buckshot if he ever comes around
his house to court his favorite
daughter Juliann. He says when
he goes to the trouble and ex-
pense of raising q gal he pro-
poses to have say in who she
shall marry" And Josephus,
when he had done speaking,
looked on the ceiling vacantly
and drew long sigh that seem
ed to come from the bottom oil
his chest.
"Oh-ho {! That's what's the
matter Then, why don't yor
steal her ~ whispered Dick.
''Steal her Well, now,
wouldn't want any better fun j.
I could get little help answer
ed Josephus, as his eyes bright
ened at the thought, "for the ga
loves me from the bedrock up
and don't you forget it p
How about the old lady ?" in
quired Jack.
"Oh, the old woman is al
right. you can let. When th'
old man is against fellow yo,
can just gamble on it that tn,
old woman is for him first anC
last and all the time. 1t is kint
o natural like, you see, for tn,
old folks to disagree on thes,
fine points," replied Josephus.
Yes" Clipped in Dick, VIII,
was o confirmed old bachelor; g
suppose it is, because after
man and woman have lived to
gether long enough to raise
family of children they disagree,
on most everything except tn
partnership of the children; an,
even on that particular point til
old man sometimes has his doubts
] have noticed this much myself
and hence | take no chances o.
the matrimonial lasso."
Maybe you are right" ans
wered Josephus, "but I dom
care for that if I can get m
Juliann. I'll take chances on he
and the old man can go an
drown himself in the Salmo
river, if he wants to. I wi
borrow no trouble over it,"
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1894-12-04

and flew all to pieces, scattering
the limbs and splinters in every
direction. The horses and mule
stood still as death; and when
the Thermometer took another
dip down and tied up at the 4OOth
degree below zero, an ague shake
came over the party for a quar-
ter of a second, and then every
thing was as quiet as it was be-
fore the creation. All four were
frozen solid and cold as Alaska
marble, and stood there in their
tracks with their arms extended
out over the fire, looking natural
as life. Even the blaze CT the
fire was frozen solid, and all
though it looked warm and cheer
full it was cold as Norwegian ice.
1t was sad sight, and enc long
to be remembered.
CHAPTER III.
When old man Shellbark woke
up the next morning after the
elopement and discovered that
his darling daughter, Juliann,
had left her bed and board and
gone he knew not where, hepull-
ed his hair and rent his clothes
and girted his loins about in a
gunny sack and sat down in the
ashes of his once happy chimney
corner.
But the old man was born of a
tough, hickory race, and he soon
got his thoughts together, and
thought a minute. Then he
thought of Josephus, and went
out to look for tracks. He found
them. He at once organized a
party of six strong young men
(aspirants for the hand of JUL
ANN, and two thoroughbred
Lemhi Indians to do the trailing.
The old man put red paint on
his left ear and a double barrel
ed shotgun on his right should
er, and started with his'party of
rescurers.
They reached the mouth of
Jordan creek on the evening of
the second day, tired and hun
CRY. The polar wane had done
it's worst, but it was yet many,
many degrees below zero. The
old man sighted the horses in
the willows, and all dismounted
and crept cautiously up to
surprise the boys and Juliann,
and capture them without firing
a gun.
Throw up your hands p the
old man yelled when he saw the
group standing in a circle around
the fire. No one replied. Throw
up your hands, you villains, OF
I'll shoot" the old man exclaim.
ed the second time. No answer.
Then charge p he shouted, and
rushed in and grabbed Miss JUL.
ann. She fell into his arms like
a cast iron girl in a corset store,
and the old man fell over in the
snow and tainted away.
For a time the camp was up
i side down with excitement; but
men soon rallied, and when the
old man Shellbark came to him
self again a council was held anc
it was decided to return at once
to Salmon City with the sole
, remains of Juliann for burial
and from there send messenger:
across the mountains to Loo1
| creek to notify the miners of the
} fate of their comrades.

t and fastened upon a trusty horse
and borne to her mourning anC

The FishersviIle Club and the Road
Question.

The club was called to order Saturday by
DR.. Hanger, and the following members
were PRESENT.. S. Cecil, David Coiner,
M. L. Leonardo D. Conner, B. T. Hide
brand, A. H. McCue, Dr.. NJ. G. Hide
brand, w. A. Freed, G. w. G. Karnes, J.
w. Churchman and J. r. Kemper.
DR.. Hildebrand, from the commi ttee on
roads, stated that a full meeting of the
committee had not been held, but that he
had looked over the Rockingham law and
read the same before the club.
MI. Leonard said it was in order either
to receive OIL reject this paper as the report
Of the committee. 1t was received as their
report.
MI. Churchman said he understood that
this was simply report of the road COM
mittee, and he moved that it be read by
sections and adopted, rejected OF amended
us the club saw proper.
The bill was then read and numerous
amendments were proposed to the same,
two of the most important changes sug-
gested being to allow each district to con-
troll its own roads, and to spend it's own
money within the district in which it is
levied.
MI. Coiner said if each district paid its
own road expenses, it should not be called
upon to pay any county levy fol- road eX-
penses.
Mr.. McCne said if the district road
board did levy our road tax. We would be
liable to county levy, which would be
spent elsewhere and lie OF no benefit to us.
The main proposition is to work the roads
by contract, allowing the contractor the
two days labor Of each person as now, and
to supplement this by a road tax sufficient
to keep the roads in good repair.
A committee was then appointed to in.
corporate in the bill the amendments agreed
upon and to report to a full meeting Of the
club on Saturday, Jan. 9th.
Capt. Conner was elected member of the
club.
1t was moved that this club request the
legislature to pass the stock law asked for
by the recent petition. The club then adj
journed.

we perish iii tile struggle. should some i'll
fated missile spill our hearts blood reekina

your lovers soon emerge from the dark cloud
Of war and tip with their bright smiles the
