A large band OF horses from Oregon
passed through Emmett some ten days
ago and camped on Boise river near
Star. Information reached Boise soon
afterwards that the horses had been
stolen ia Oregon and in consequence the
men in charge Of the band were held by
the Ada county officers pending the ar
rival of an officer from Oregon to identi-
fy the horses.
One day last week as Messrs Austin
and Fifth ugh, the two well known Col
orado mining men, were driving down
the mountain from the lreton mine near
the Stephenson place above Rock creek
the neck yoke gave way and the team
started to run. The wagon pole ran in
the ground the whiffletrees gave way
and Austin who was driving was drag
ged from the wagon but fortunately was
not seriously injured. The team ran
straight to tho river and plunged IN and
swan nearly to the opposite shore then
turned and swan back to where they
could touch bottom where they stopped
and refused to stir until Austin waded
in and drove them out. Whether the
atmosphere took on blush cast in
that particular locality, deponent sayeth
not.
Myrtle Reed, daughter Of Charlie
Reed who lives down the valley, was ad-
judged insane in the probate court at
Caldwell, last Saturday, and committed
to the asylum at Blackfoot. The young
lady had been acting strangely since the
death Of her grandfather, Levi Reed,
which occurred some two weeks ago aud
it is thought that loss Of sleep and wor-
ry, incident to the care Of the old gentle
man who had been very low Tor several
months. was the cause Of her trouble.
The examining physcisians expressed
the opinion that it would require but a
short course Of treatment at the asylum
to restore her to her usual physical and
mental health. Ii is to be hoped that
such will be the case, for at the best the
case is a sad one.
Last Monday while Sheriff Camp
bell was down in the neighborhood OF
Parma serving subpoenas he had a mar
