From the tone of letter received
from the Caldwell bows at Boise we
would infer that the only one thing
now lacking to put them in fighting

Mr.. C. S. Loveland, of Payette made
the TRIBUNE a friendly call while in

is interested in life insurance and we
have no doubt but that he would be a
very pleasant gentleman to do business
with.

both young men are residents of this

Governor Steunenberg's selection is a
wise one as both of the men are thor

recognition.

a conclusion was knocked all to pieces
last Saturday when the news arrived
announcing Dewey's grand victory. No
sooner had bulletins been posted giving
particulars than the town awoke and
the pent up patriotism of the people

work of building Boise city" and "the
needed rest aud recreation" enjoyed at
the Home has been as beneficial to Mr.
Clark as the news of his resign alton is
to the people. The discharging of de-
cripid and intirm inmates from home
intended for them seems to have
afforded most agreeable recreation,

various other "recreations" enjoyed at
'the Home" have been the means of
restoring lost health and vigor.

THE YELLOW POND MURDER.
A Possible But Very Doubtful Clue from
New haven.

Bridgeport, Conn, September l9.-The
forenoon developments in. the Yellow Mill
Pond mystery were of the most meagre
character.
The remains of the victim, now fright
fully distorted from the effects of much
exposure, and the embalming fluid, are
still above ground and this morning plans
were made for an early interment at the
Door farm, Notwithstanding the burial
process was held up by order of Medical
Examiner Downs, who has not yet reached
a decision as to the wisdom of permit
ting the burial of the head with the dis
mem bered portions Of the corpse.
The only tangible piece of information
thus far obtainable today caused New
Haven to once more loom up as highly
important center of activity In connec-
ton with the tragedy.
New Haven, Conn.,, September l9.-The
detectives of the New Haven police de-
partment are busily engaged today IN a
search for a young woman VINO has Deen
missing for some timeaand who may nave
been the victim of the notorious Bridge
port tragedy. Capt. Cowles of the de-
tective force said: SIT is true that we
are looking up a New Haven girl as q
possible victim of the Yellow Mill Pond
mystery. This girl, whose name ! can
not disclose just now, has been missing
between two and three months. She was
the daughter Of New Haven parents and
we aro told she was in trouble at the
time of her disappearance. She was
abou 81 years of age. 1t may turn out
that the girl to whom refer may have
been the Victim of the Bridgeport trag.
