The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1897-08-17

10 De sized up Dy tne SnreWO OD-
server as a good one to keep
away from. 1t is worth while
then to see that the town news
paper is encouraged to do its
level best, and the way to show
this appreciation is to rally to
it's support at all times and stand
solidly back of it, when its col
umns are engaged, either in de-
Tending a righteous cause or in
promoting the interests of the
com munity where published A
live, progressive, representative
newspaper is always credit to
a town, and its surroundings,
and is one of the most potent
factors in local development
Therefore, it merits and should
receive strong and generous
support.-Caldwell Record.
The Lewiston Teller says A
test case of the gambling law
should be made at once in order
to get the business back within
the pale of the law. 1t is a well
known fact that gambling never
entirely ceased even when the
LEGALITY of the measure was un-
questioned, and now that the re-
cent decision has cast a doubt
upon the matter the violations
will grow more and more flag
rant. A return to the old condi-
tion of licensed games would be
more preferable than the present
star chamber games that fleece
both the sucker and the state
Under the old law the license
money made a neat source of
revenue for both the city and
the public schools. This reven-
ue is shut off but gambling still
continues. 1t will be better to
return to the old conditions and
it would be question of good
citizenship to test the law and
place games under legal surveil-
lance.
Roaming around the hills
, somewhere in Idaho or Montana
, is Chas. A. Kelley, alias Charles
: A. Boone, who is much wanted
by the sheriff of Lemhi county.
, He is wanted for stealing a IA
/. year-old girl. three horses, two
rifles, 100 pounds of -four, 20
pounds of bacon and $12 from a
rancher named Young. He is
E also wanted on the charge of
committing an awful crime upon
! a 11-year-old girl who is a sister
to the one he took away with
him. He has been gone about
two weeks now, and the sheriffs
!. have been securing the country
( for him ever since he departed.
h About six weeks ago Kelly came
9 over to Lemhi county from Boise
/ City. He was about Salmon for
! a few days and the officers there
: looked upon him as suspicious
n character. 1t is said that he OBJ
# tanned work just in time to avoid
/ being locked up on the charge of
t vagrancy He hired out to a
8 rancher named Young, where he
e worked only little over three
d weeks, during which time he
: committed a serious assault upon
O the 11-year-old daughter of Mr..
a Young. This, however, was not
!. learned of by the girls parents
@ until Kelly had flown with Flor
n ence Young, the 14-year-old
daughter. He influenced Flor
ence to elope with him. They
1t started out in the dead of night
g and succeeded in getting away
g while the rancher and other
members of the family were
c asleep.
n In the Klondyke region in mid
e winter the sun rises from $50 to
s 10 o'clock a. M, and sets from 2
e to p. M, the total length of
d daylight being about four hours.
t. Remembering that the sun rises
10 but a few degrees above the
Y horizon, and that is wholly OBJ
al scured on great many days,
y the character of the winter
,e months may be imagined. We
i. are indebted to the United States
lie Coast and Geodetic Survey for q
n series of six months observa
lie tions on the Yukon, not far from
S. the present gold discoveries
ar The observations were made
D. with standard instruments and
re are reliable. The mean temper
