ISLANDER AND ASSAULT.
Ephraim Girl Set a Trap For Erastus
Jensen.

Ephraim Enterprise: Chris Jorgen-
son and Sophronia Brienholt We're ar
rested Saturday on the charge of as
sault with intent TO commit murder.
County Attorney Reid was present to
prosecute, and after investigation al
lowed the prisoners to plead guilty to
the charge of assault, and they were
fined SIS each, which was promptly
paid. AS near as can be ascertained,
the facts are these: The girl who is
about Il years old, had been told that
-Erastus Jensen, the prosecuting wit
ness, had circulated slanderous reports
about her, and, together with Jorgen-
son, planned to get Jensen out where
the reports about her, while Jorgenson
was to be in hiding where he could
hear the conversation. 1t worked all
right. and one evening about two weeks
ago the girl and Jensen walked out to
the South ward school house, where
Jorgenson was in hiding behind fence.
She accused Jensen of making bad re-
ports about her, which he denied She
then called him a liar and he called
her the same complimentary name,
whereupon she drew a gun from her
pocket and pointed it at him He
Srappled with her and knocked the
gun from her hand. She then called
for help and Jorgenson started to climb
over the fence. Jensen, seeing him
coming, ran away; shot being fired
after he started, lent wings to his feet
The father of the girl now threatens to
bring suit against Jensen for SANDER.

Condition of Idaho Stock.

Haley Times: The stoclzgrowers in
Blaine and Lincoln counties are con-
graduating themselves upon the way
in which their stock is wintering.
As there have been no bad storms,
and the weather has been just about
cold enough to keep their stock moving
about TO keep warm, cattle, horses and
sheep have been and are in splendid
health, and the percentage of loss is
small-much smaller than it is almost
anywhere else in the inter-mOuntain
region.
Then, too, the feed has been excel
lent. Although all the growers laid in
a good supply of fodder they have not
been obliged 70 feed more than a part
of the time. so that unless the winter
should be prolonged unexpectedly, they
will have an abundance of feed on
hand when the stock is turned out to
new grass.
Altogether the outlook for Idaho cat
tie and wool growers is for a very pros
porous year.
