of the Congregational
church was favored with report
of the great International conven-
ton of the G. E. at San Francisco
by it's delegate, Miss Mabel Payne.
1t means great deal for the local
society, which has been organized
only year, to have been repre-
sented at SO great a gathering.
Judging from the enthusiasm
which Miss Payne evidently re-
ceived and which she impaired to
the audience her visit will greatly
strengthen the Endeavor work in
in the town. The meeting, accord
ing to her excellent report, was
grand success. When 10000 young
people cross the continent and spend
100000 in the interest Of a re-
ligious movement and q city
like San Francisco is a willing cap
ture for week the results cannot
fail to be far-reaching. Miss Payne
very pleasantly finished her report
by presenting the local society with
a handsome motto, For Christ and
the Church," which now decorates
the church wall.-A. S. III.
Tim Manning, formerly a resi-
dent of Rocky Bar, but now a prom
inent mining man of Placerville,
was brought into Boise on the 14th
with a badly broken leg. The
story of his mishap is decidedly
sensational. Wednesday morning
as Manning was riding horseback
about 16 miles from Placerville, his
horse fell on him, breaking his leg
In order to prevent the struggling
animal from killing him, he shot it,
and after a great effort managed to
get from under the animal. In this
crippled state Manning waited for
some one to come to assist him, but
the day wore away with no help
appearing. He was suffering in
tensely, but could do nothing to re-
lieve the pain. Thursday came with
still no aid. In the meantime the
people in Placerville had become
alarmed over Manning's absence
and searching party was organ
lied to hunt for him. The party
found him, Friday morning, after
he had lain in his uncomfortable
position for 4S hours. He was taken
to Piacerville and from thence to
Boise for surgical treatment.
Yesterday morning about 5 o clock
as Frank Boyd was driving out of
town on his way to his sheep camp
in the mountains, he discovered
that the Chinese wash house at the
corner Of Jackson avenue and Ben
nett street was on fire. An alarm
was given and the flames soon extin-
guished. The ash-pot of the fur
mace in the wash house is close to
the wall of the shed.reom, which
took fire from the embers, and the
blaze had reached the roof of the
main building before it was sup
pressed. The building belongs to
Jerry Cronin, and was damaged
but little.
you Know" the Castle Creek
correspondent of the Silver City
Avalanche, among other items, tells
that paper that "Mr. Turner, the
postmaster at Mountain Home and
mining expert, was over on Boulder
creek a short time ago taking in the
sights, and while doing SO he made
very close examination of the
Evans Bros. quartz ledge and he
reports that this property is one Of
great value. This report coming
from the source it did certainly can
be relied upon, and no doubt cap.
italists will be looking this matter
up before snow falls again"
The Republican has again adopt
ed the plan of printing letters de
rogatory to the BULLETIN purportinG
to come from other towns, but
which are doubtless written by one
fellow in Mountain Home. Their,
is but one man in Glenn's Ferry
who could stoop to inditing sucl
lies as was published in that pape
about us last week, purporting t,
come from the Ferry, and that maj
