(BoiSe Statesman.l

Boise Statesman]
Richard Peeke, one of the TRUSTEES
at, the penitentiary, is one Of the
most interesting characters there.
He was convicted, Of murder in, the
second degree and given life sem
tence at the court which convened
In Boise county in the fall of 1885.
At that time he was 56 years of age.
The man he killed was Prosper
Langrois. This man had been work
ing for Peeke off and on for several
years and finally at the instigation
of others, as Peeke says, jumped
mining claim which had been
worked by him for over a year, and
to which there had been no doubt
raised as to the validity of his claim.
Peeke. says he ordered the man off
the claim several times and that
finally an alteration arose in which
the man Langrois was killed. The
testimony was conflicting regarding
several points and though there
seemed to be mitigating circum-
stances connected with it the man
wss convicted of murder in the
second degree.
After Peeke had been in the pen
.itentiary for eleven years, he was
entrusted with the care of the gar
den, and after watching it during
one summer he remained living in a
cabin out in the garden during the
entire winter going up to the house
only for his meals. The man is now
So years old and one of the mos,
faithful of men. He has a corner in
the garden which he tends himself
and supplies quite quantity Of
vegetables for the table of the prison
There never seems to be any idea
of escape in hrs mind, but he has a
lingering hope that the pardoning
board will eventually set him free.
He came to Placerville in the
year 1868 and after that spent his
time mining i'll various portions of
the Basin. The placer claim upon
which he killed Langreis is said to
be still kept for him by the citizens
of that vicinity. There has not been
a stroke of work done upon it since
the conviction of it's owner. The
application for his pardon has been
before several boards and is before
it at this time. Some of the mem
bers take the position that the man
is better off at his age in life where
he now is, as he is not possessed of
sufficient means to support him.
A B. Anderson Of Weiser is said to
have offered him home for the
rest of his life if the board should
see fit to pardon him.

A line from the old camp of
Smoky to show that life is not en-
tirely extinct may prove of interest
TO those who know the place
The season opens with three
properties working. Mr.. Schultz.
at the Isabella, has several carloads
of ore out ready for shipment, and
his showing for further production
is most favorable. He is, however,
terribly handicapped by snow; a
succession of slides having piled
themselves upon his tunnel, ore
house and dump 10 a great depth.
It was necessary to sink a shaft
through the snow thirty feet deep
to locate the ore house; but 1t Is
Mr.. Schultz's intention to- continue
onerations Notwithstanding the dis
advantages occasioned by the snow.
Frank L. Collins arrived at Smoky
on April 18th, much fatigued by
his snowshoe trip. He was accom-
panied by Bob McQuillan and John
McCann, and work upon the Star
of Smoky mine was Immediately re-
sumed for the summers campaign.
The Tyrannis group is being
worked by crew Of Eve men, and
is showing up to the best antlclpa-
lions and perfect satisfaction OF
the recent purchasers. Additional
miners will be put on colncldepi
with the opening of the roads tor
the transportation of supplies, and
other improvements will follow as
necessity demands.
The snow is leaving very rapidly,
and were it not for the vast amount
accumulated on the roads In the
gulches, caused by slides, one might
reasonably look for an early spring.

Placer Mining at Gibbonsville.

Salt Lake Tribune: Advices re
ceived at the Offices of the company
in this city yesterday indicate that
the washing of gold on the Bing-
ham Placer company's bars at Glib
louisville, Ida. has been commenced.
Since the ground was acquired by
the company many improvements
have been made and the assurance
is that more gravel will be handled
the present season than has been in
any corresponding period since
the sluicing of the sands was com
,Denced many years ago. An ex-
hibA ut the Offices Of the company
affords abundant evidence of the
possibilities of the ground. 1t is
estimated that nearly $4,000 has
been expended in putting the plant
in condition for the run.

Shoshons Journal: Samuel Bird,
who has been mining near Hager-
man, had received returns from a
cleanup, and in going to his cabin
from Hagerman, stopped at Clark
and Norwood's cabin, short dis
lance below. Norwood went up. to.
his cabin with him, and just as Bird
entered his door Norwood struck
him with a pick handle, knocking
him down and cutting bis head
open. He continued beating him
until apparently dead. When Bird
came to Norwood was about to tin-
ish him. but he begged so hard the
assassin desisted and made him
promise that he would say he fell
into the ditch and some rocks fell
on him. He then forced Bird to go
to the ditch and remain until he had
covered a lot of rocks with blood,
and then, dragged him back to his
cabin, and after searching the place
for money left him unconscious.
Fortunately Bird had left his money
in safe at Hagerman. The next
morning Norwood told that. Bird
had been hurt by some rocks fall
ing on him. Parties did not bslieve
it and went to the cabin where they
found him nearly dead, but able to
tell the circumstances. Norwood
was arrested and apon examination
was bound over, but came very
near being lynched.
7 Boise Statesman: A distressing
accident occurred nearPearl Friday
evening, the victim being Frank
Wyman, the eleven-year-old son OF
George H. Wyman, superintendent
of the Checkmate. The lad, with
his elder brother, George, Is years
old, was about two miles from home,
hunting rabbits. lie saw a rabbit
and called to his brother to hand
him the gun. George handed him
the weapon, shotgun, the muzzle
first. Clarence took it by the bar
rel. He noticed it was cooked and
attempted to push it to- one side, as
the stock caught on a rock. The
gun was discharged and the charge
was sent through the little fellows
arm above the elbow. He died on
Saturday.
