Idaho.

Oneida Republican: A Weston boy
is reported to have got down upon his
knees to a young lady in F'airview
the other day, and he was not making
love to her, either. AS the story goes,
the young man insulted the young lady
while she was riding along the road,
and the ladys father finding it out
hunted up the young man, and, using
q gun as a persuader, took him to the
house and made him get down on his
knees and apologize. The young man
will be more careful who he insults in
the future.
Congressman Gum told the Pocatel-
10 Tribune that he was very strongly
in favor of a union of all the silver

the preliminary steps for such an or

Stories About Klondike Greatly
Exaggerated.
SO SAYS JACK DALTON
PROBABLY THE BEST POSTED
MAN IN THE YUKON.
Statement That Miners VIII Starve
Is Also Much overdrawn-Rush
Next Spring Will Be Far Too
Great-Poor Show For a Man
Without Money.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. SACK Dalton
and his partner ]. NJ. Maloney, ar
rived here today. They are making a
business trip to New York.
THE statement that Klondike miners
will starve is much overdrawn," he
said. The food supply is short, but
men will not die from hunger. They
will suffer from short rations and are
sadly in need of relief"
How should relief be sent imp

foolish schemes are talked about Sup
plies could be sent to Dawson City,
but inexperienced men cannot land
them there.
DO you expect much of a rush over
your trail?"
There will be a rush on every trail,
far too great. Most of them will go
straight to Dawson City and then
start for home again. Unless a man
has money to buy claims he stands a
poor show of getting anything in that
vicinity
Where is the most promising coun-
try for prospecting?"
1T is hard to say. There were re-
ports of strikes on tributaries of the
stewart river, but nothing remarkably
rich. Almost every story that has
been told of Klondike has been ex-
aggerated. There is much gold up
there, but not enough for the thou
sands who are planning to co.

RAMsAY's BAD BREAK.
Paid S77 For S12 Worth of Barbed
Wire.

Richfeld, Dec. flames B. Ramsay,
Richfeld's city marshal-elect, who yes
terday pleaded guilty to the theft of
Rio Grande Western barbed wire, to-
day talked to The Herald correspond
cent about the case 1t was a bad
break" he acknowledged, but there
are some circumstances that L deem
palliating.
Along in July, 1895, the railroad I'M
loaded along its track barbed wire for
fencing its right of way. Soon after
wards the work of fencing began, and
continued through the summer. Late in
June Of this year Alex Frazer and l,
who both own land about a mile north
of the station, near the railway track
We're repairing bitches on the r. g. w.
right OF way on the east side of the
grade. We came upon nine bales of
barbed wire, covered with six inches
of mud and dirt. Neither Of US had
any idea before then that that wire lay
there. The earth concealing it must
have been deposited by the floods of
1896. We figured that the railroad had
either lost the wire or had abandoned
ii. The fencing had been done far be-
yond that point. A few days after we
found the nine bales, Frazer left on a
Mormon mission. Before going he spoke
to me about his farm, and l told him
/ would fence it with the wire we had
found. There are 40 acres in Frazer S
ranch, around which he had already
planted fence posts. got Lon Jensen,
Byrum Olson and Alex Jensen to help
me, and we stretched six bales Of the
wire around Frazer's 40 acres. Just
west of this another 40, owned half and
half by Farley Outzen and me- Out
zen is also away on a mission. I used
the remaining three bales Of wire fenc-
ing one entire size of Outzens and my
plat Outzen furnishing posts for the
whole job.
when Detective Brown asked me
about it / told him the facts, just as
I relate them now. Tuesday night I
was notified to appear in Justice Peter
Jensen's court Wednesday morning.
When the warrant was read to me /
noticed that Frazer's name was en-
tered as one Of the defendants. We
arranged that | should pay S36 for the
entire nine bales Of railroad wire, and
the case against Frazer was dismissed.
MY fine and costs amounted to SAL 60.
This, added to the $96 for wire, makes
6 total of ST. 60 which 1 paid into court
Tuesday afternoon. That S77.65 repre-
sents to me about $12 worth of wire,
hut I have learned a lesson worth many
times that amount"
Whether or not Ramsay will be al
lowed to serve as city marshal is not
known.
There are no further developments in
the baIted wire case today. If the Off
GERS have located any more of the Sto-
len property they are keeping it mum
