The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1896-12-18

A cook stove, a couple of very irate
women and several male and female
friends as the leading actresses, played
a star engagement to large and en-
thusiastic Tor disgusted) audience, down
town, on Tuesday afternoon. The plot
of the play was that one of the women
had sold or loaned the other one the
stove and the possesser, having failed
to pay for or return the property, at
tempted to remove it, and the owner
stopped it ON the street, sat down upon
it and awaited the consequences. The
consequences were not long in coming.
The stove was very promptly upset by
the husband of the other lady, and
troupes of the friends of both parties
were at each other with stove legs and
other bludgeons in short order. Oh,
but it was lively play for few mo-
nents, and the sentiments expressed
were not couched in the choicest words.
The arrival of the constable changed
the style of the performance. He made
loud threat to lock all of the troupe
up in Jail, but considering the proba-
bility of a continuation of the play in
side the Jail walls, finally decided to ar
rest the stove and lock it up. This
done the curtain dropped, with the un-
derstanding that the leading actresses
might play it out in court. The stove
and the constable were the only cool
actors in the troupe.

goth, 1896.


After an illness of several weeks John
w. Plummer died in London, England,
Aug. %, 1896, at the age of 81 years.
The death of Capt. Plummer removes

Nevada, Montana, Utah and was mana
ger for the DeLamar mine in this state

of the Idaho Mining Exchange, that we
take this oportunity of expressing our
heartfelt SORROW for his sudden taking
off, and that we recognize that in his
death the state has lost one of its fore
most citizens, and the mining industry
thereof one of its most ardent promot-
ers and supporters. We recognize in
Capt Plummer gentleman Of integ-
rity and worth, and man thoroughly
devoted to the building up of the min
ing industry of this section of the
state, and to that end he took lively
interest in the success of this ex-
change, and we feel that in his death
the exchange has suffered the loss of
one of its most valued members.
RESOLVED, That the secretary convey
to the wife and family of Capt. Plum
mer the heartfelt sorrow ane sympathy
of the members OF this board and that
they be furnished with copies of these
resolutions. And be it further
RESOLVED, That these resolutions be
furnished for publication to the news
papers of this city and also to the Ava
lanche and NUGGET, newspapers pub
lished in Owyhee county.
I'VE regret that the foregoing tribute
of respect arrived too late for publica-
ton last week. Ed

pended on himself. And only the mother

reproached herself for ingratitude, because
there was In all the good fortune no way

when the mother and daughter were in tho
