Death of an Idaho Desperate.

Shoshone, Dec. 21.-Last We'd
nesday night an alteration took
place between Marion Garner and
Harry Kline, alias "Broncho Pete, y
at Hagerman, during which Pete shot
and, it was supposed, fatally wound
ed Garner.
Pete at once mounted his horse
and struck out for the cattle camp OF
the Shoe Sale outfit.
A posse at once started in pursuit,
and, as he stopped to see a woman
TO whom he was engaged to be mar
ried, the posse overlook him.
He was ordered to throw up hi
hands and replied by opening fire OIL
the posse, who in turn shot him dead
Garner is recovering, although
shot through and through with 6
45-calibre bullet.
Broncho Pete was a cowboy ant
all-round bad man from the locality
where Diamondfiield Jack and Others
recently killed several sheep herders
The general belief is that in killing
him the county is saved much ex
pense.

Boise Fruit Trees Damaged-Unhurt IN Weiser

Quite furore was created in fruit
growing circles last week by the dis
covery that fruit trees were killed by
the wholesale in some parts of the
state. In Boise valley and other
parts trees were killed, by freezing.
to frightful extent. The remark
able cold snap in November did the
work, rs the sap had not all retired
to the roots, and the cold froze the
body Of the tree, many bursting open.
Orchardlsts report that the inner
bark has turned black, and where
this is the case the tree is dead 1t is
noticed that this has happened where
the trees had water late in the sea-
son Trees that were on high
ground and those that were not
watered during The latter part of the
fall have escaped Some orchards
in Boise valley are totally ruined.
Mr.. Eof, and his tree man, Mr. Har-
old, came down from Boise Sunday
filed with alarm for the Land & I'm
provement Company's orchards at
Weiser, but an inspection failed to
show single tree here damaged,
and they went home much relieved
Reports from about Weser show that
no trees here are hurt in the least,
which speaks much for our superior
ity as fruit growing section. Less
fortunate neighboring localities will
probably not have sufficient fruit
next season to supply local demand.

Congress. Bassett is at present pos
ing as a Populist reformer and anti
monopolist. Last year he Joined in a
pretended railroad scheme to construct
a transcontinental railroad with
branches to every conceivable inlet on
the Northern California coast. The
enterprise was incorporated with Bas-
sett as President and a Kansas City
sharper as financial manager" The
other directors" were made up of ma
teriaI imported from Oregon more
wooden than dummies. They hood
winked the people of the northern coast
into subscribing 100000 to the second
mortgage bonds and tried to collect 3
percent. of the subscriptions, and did
collect $4,000 or $1,000. The road has
never materialized and the deluded
people who subscribed have lost all

cover the 81 900 that he paid in. Bas-
