IMPORTANT TRANSFER.

The 70 acre tract Of land near
this town formerly belonging to
Hon. w. d. Hill, of Ohio. he's been
purchased by a home syndicate
comprised of DR.. Smith, Roscoe
Smith, w. A. Reynolds, George l..
Cole, Geo. P. Hall, E. C. Helfrich,
Hugh Latham. Frank Axe, O. III.
Hutchins and ]. d. Helfrich, and
they will at an early day subdivide
it into small tracts and place it on
the market for sale. AS there will
be another small canal constructed
by spring that will convey water
from the reservoir to the land in the
northwest part of town, it will GER
tainly make this tract valuable and
of quick sale.
The BULLETIN is glad to note that
our citizens named above have the
confidence in Mountain Homes flu
ture to acquire more realty, as they
have had large holdings prior to
this purchase. 1t is by just such
enterprise and energy that a town
is placed to the front, and we pre-
dict in the near future of further
benefits to this place arising from
the united efforts of these same gen.
tlemen.
The matter Of storing water by
constructing reservoirs and enlarg-
ing the one that is here must be ac-
complished, and the old water COM
pany should sell out or fix up their
affairs financially and start in new,
as their present method of doing
business deserves the severest con-
demnation.

Bought FLOODED Stock.

Miss Kitty Wilkins is going to
add to the value of her already
famous Diamond brand horse ranch
near Mountain Home, Idaho, by
introducing some fast trotting and
pacing stock. To this end she has
just purchased the pacing stallion
Longitude, who was bred by F. w.
Burns of LeMars, and the trotting
stallion Parallel, also bred by Mr..
Burns. Longitude was foaled in
1889, and is seal brown in color,
with great bone and muscle, stand
ing 16 hands and weighing 1900
pounds. He has a mark of 2:1S
and showed trials in 2:13 at INDIE
pendence. Parallel, whose grand
sire, Harold, was the sire of Maud
S, 2:0S ga, and 81 others in the
2:3O list, is also a good individual,
with a mark of 2:2S.
Miss wilkins horses are nov OF
a very high grade, and she thinks
by infusing some fast pacing and
trotting blood that they will rank
better than native bred horses, as
they have the wind and limb and
style.-Omaha Bee.
These fine animals are now at the
Wilkins ranch in Bruneau valley
and they arc beauties to behold.

We get the following important
Gilmore county mining item by way
of Boise city and through the col
umns of the Statesman of the 28th.
1t says:
]. D. Helfrich of Mountain Home
was in Boise yesterday. He carried
with him a specimen of gold quartz
the equal of which has probably not
been seen in this city for many a
day. The quartz contained one
separate mass of gold that was esti-
mated to weigh at least $50. The
specimen came from what is known
as the Old Last Chance, near At
lanta The mine is about one-half
mile from the Last Chance, owned
by Major Hyndnan.
The old mine was abandoned sew
eral years ago and was relocated
last spring by Mr.. Helfrich and
others, who have as yet been doing
only assessment ork on it. The rich
specimen was found in the 5OO-foot
level of an old shaft, in the midst
of rich streak of free gold quartz.
Mr.. Helfrich has sent the speci-
men to Salt Lake to be placed on
exhibition for a few days, when it
will be returned to Boise and pre-
sented to one of Ada county's Of
ficials.

SPLENDID EN- NCOURAGEMENT FOR

| Showing Made Against the The Allied
Republican Force of the Whole Ma
tion Magnificent One-The
County Results Phenomenal.
Democrats have much upon which TO
congratulate themselves, though the
national ticket went down in defeat, not
| ignominious defeas, but with colors flying
and holding in remembrance the white,
scared faces of the Republicans, who will
not recover from their trembles for several
days A worse frightened lot of politic.
ians never got under one party flag in
this country, though they made ante
election claims that were absurd on their
face so as to keep the rank and file in
line.
So far as Stark county is concerned, no
other county in the United States was
similarly situated, never was so situated
before, and in all probability, never will
be so situated again. Here was the
center of the Republican campaign, with
all the entailed demonstrations, displays,
red fire, money and everything that goes
to make up the sinews of war, in cam
paign. In the face Of such demonstr0-
tions the Republicans of Stark county
would have taken to the woods. With its
help they could heap up less than 1000
plurality in the home county Of the presi-
Dental candidate Never were forces
assailed 10 a county as the Democratic
forces were assailed here. Never had a
county COMMITTEES the honor and incident
hard work Of fighting county commit
tee, a state committee and national
committee backed by millions. The
Democratic committee and the Demo
cratic forces generally had no money Yet
with all the conditions against them,
they kept the majority down SO that it
can easily be substantiated that had the
Republican hational campaign not been
operated hers, and had the candidate
been some one else, this county would
have gone Democratic. As 1t was, one
splendid, representative Demooart was
elected, and he defeated q man who, in
recent years, has been looked upon as a
leader Of the dominant faction in the Re-
publican party,
The Democrat party IN Stark county
is givon new life and will go on to future
victories. Next time the party will not
be compelled to 1ght the whole United
States and a large part of the medium of
circulation thereof. There Is nothing in
the county returns TO discourage Demo-
orats. On the other hand, the showing
made is substantially victory. 1t was
a magnificent fight in the face of colossal
odds, and the odds won by so small
plurality that the winners are rather
ashamed of 1t themselves.

keeping of prisoners there. The law speoi-
fles that prisoners between the ages Of 16
and 30 years can be sentenced by the
court to the Onio Reformatory. 1t makes
no provision for sentencing prisoners
under l6 to that institution. These boys
were sent TO the Columbus penitentiary.
Then an effort was made to have the
youths transferred to the Boys Indus
trial School at Lancaster by Governor
Bushnell. The discovery was then made
that in tinkering with the law last winter
the section authorizing the governor to
transfer youthful prisoners to the Ian
caster institution had been repealed.
Governor Bushnell and Attorney General
MOnnett held conference over the mat
ter, but took no decisive action. They will
try to bend the law somehow so as to
send the boys to either the Lancaster or
Mansfield institution.

berger, in west William street, last night.
Mrs. BON berger and her daughter. Miss
Annie, had closed up the house and had
gone to the postofllce to mail some letters.
They also called upon DR.. Blechele and
it was about 10 O'Clock when they ar.
rived home. 1t was observed that the
curtains at the east end Of the parlor were
disarrapged, and a neighbor, Mr. Stone,
was called, who made an Investigation.
The burglar had taken nothing down
stairs and seems to have been looking
for money or something that could be
Immediately transferred into money.
In Miss Bomberger's room upstairs,
dresser drawers were ransacked and a
quantity Of jewelry taken. Miss Bonn
berger furnished Officers Ribillet and
McCammon, who investigated, the fol-
lowing list Of articles taken:
A solitaire emerald ring,a gold ring set
with three small diamonds, an emerald
and pearl ring, gold band ring marked
Annie, turquoise ring, garnet brooch
and stick pin set with pearls, a gentle
mans gold watch with double chain
and lady's gold watch, with Annie
Bomberger" engraved in the back case.
a Columbian 5O.cent piece, which was
in the jwelry box, was also taken.
The gentleman's watch belonged to
Miss Bombergers father, and the jewelry
taken was mostly presents from him.
They were highly priced on this account.
The burglar was evidently in hurry
and must have expected the return of the
members of the household at any
moment, as he overlooked considerable
money in Miss Bombergers pocket-book.
mum Der of solid silver sets were also
portable, but were not taken.
In the soft earth the footprints Of the
burglar were plainly seen, and it is be-
lieved that by prompt action he could be
trailed. The officers sent to the work
house for the blood hounds, and Mr..
Pontius kindly loaned them. The dogs
were not in good condition for work and
did not take the trail readily. Officers
are doing all in their power to locate the
burglar and secure the stolen jeweIry.

STARVED TO DEATH.
Autopsy Over the Body of Il. NJ. Corl
Reveals a Condition That is
Interesting.

The autopsy held over the body of the
late Rev. +. M. Corl, of Msssillon, Fri
day, revealed the fact that death had re-
suited from an irregular dilation of the
stomach and oonstriotion Of the pylorus
and duodenuIn. In plain words, death
was caused by starvation. The stomach
was dilated to three times it's normal size.
The pylorus and duodenum were SO badly
CONSTRUCTED that no food could pass
through them and caused an a,cumuls-
tlon of gas in the stomach. The latter
was absolutely incapable of action.
The body was reduced almost to a
skeleton, and Life for some time previous
to death had apparently been prolonged
by the absorption Of the flesh.
The examination was made by Drs. 4.
]. and t. y. Reed, Neil Hardy and DR..
Culbertson, of Massillon; DR.. Shelter, OF
Navarro, and DIR. Corl, brother Of the
deceased Of Middletown.
