she eloped with man named jack

named Harris to hunt her to earth,
particularly as she had carried away
81 900 OF his money. Harris found
the couple all right enough, but the
lady made such an impression on him
that he merely superseded Jackson in
stead of returning her to her husband.
The husband then started out to find
her himself, and succeeded in locating
her in Iowa. She was tired of Harris
by this time, so she paid the $50
reward her husband had offered and
bought tickets for her hubby and her.

Caldwell Record: Last week Rev.
w. S. Hawkes. of Salt Lake, while on a
visit to his son here, attempted to ford
the Boise river with a team in order
to get over to the station at Parma.
The team lost their footing in the swift
water, and wagon, team and all were
washed into deep water and the team
drowned. Mr.. Hawkes. went under
twice and only gained the bank by a
most desperate struggle. The wagon
and harness were recovered This ac-
cident emphasizes the difficulty and
danger being daily experienced by peo-
pie who are obliged TO cross from ROs-
well to Parma. Recently q party of
five eastern people crossing in boat
from Parma were washed down the
stream nearly a quarter of a mile and
got into the rapids before landing.
There were two ladies and one child in
the party, and they were all thoroughly
frightened. Not a day passes but
numbers of people are obliged to cross
the river at this point, and it is to be
hoped that before another high water

rendered passable by the repair of the
