Mr.. Editor:-I understand that Lin
coin county is almost entirely supported

Editor Harris. of the Montpelier Ex-
aminer, passed through Shoshone Tues
day morning enroute to Huntington.
We informed him that both Huntington
and San Francisco were too far from Sho-
shone to ever amount to much, and adj
Yised him to tarry in this place. AS he |
had Ike Hill for a travelling companion,
he would have none O. it, and again |
boarded the train, with smile on his |
classical phiz, which implied-that he
knew good thing.
Tuesday as a couple of trains were do
ing some switching in the yards, brake |
man named Edwards had a narrow es
cape from instant death. As Edwards |
stepped from between two cars he was |
on the passing track, an en-
CINE came from the coal chutes, backing |
up, and the tender struck him and roll |
ed him along between the two tracks, |
Had he fallen trife nearer the rail he |
would haYe been ground to death, but /
Is it is. he is badly bruised and was sent |
20 the hospital on the first train.

ion and insures for Shoshone another
EXCELLENT term of school, under the di-
ection of the Professor. We had the
'est school in Southern Idaho last year,
nd are now sure to have it again this
ear.
