Mr.. and Mrs. Val. Bowers, o1
: Dickey, visited in Challis last
week.
The Lady of Lyons" show
left for Salmon last Saturday.
The show is all right, and is far
better than nine tenths of the
travelling companies that come
through this country.
The lizard Times" st. Pat
rick's ball given at Challis on
Friday night last, by Mystic
Camp No. 5722, M. w. of A., was
a very enjoyable affair indeed, all
present report a pleasant time.
We do not think the Camp clear
ed much financially, but then the
boys say they had a HI of a
good time.
| Charlie Small returned to this
place last Friday evening from
Baltimore and Maine where he
spent the winter. At Baltimore
he was treated for neuralgia of
of the face, which has been a
painful affiiction to him for years,
and he comes back greatly re-
lieved if not entirely cured.
Fred Hagey, J. G. Talon and
Geo. Blake were brought before
Judge Steel last Saturday for
robbing HI. j. Jones. Hagey was
bound over to appear before the
district court on a charge of
grand larceny. His bonds were
fixed at $500. Talon and Blake
were found guilty of petty lar
ceny and each fined $50 and
costs.-Salmon Recorder.
A letter received from F. M.
Harnett, who is now at Buffalo
Hump, states that he has been
offered $1,000 for his claims
there. Which he refused. He says
he was one of the first to locate
in the new district, and conse-
quently had his pick of all the
ground in that vicinity. Frank
says there are quite number of
Salmon boys down there.-Lem-
hi Republic.
An exchange aptly remarks i
1--WE sometimes put on a long
face and look as though we
hadn't friend in the world, just
because some person has found |
fault with something they saw
in our paper. But why feel so
badly over spilled milk p The
merchant doesn't please all his
customers; the postmaster, too,
is kicked and cussed because he
makes mistakes; the station
agent is frequently backed up in
the corner by some old woman
and given to understand this and
numerous other things; the bar
ber is censured for his dull razor;
the baker is accused of fraud
and dishonesty; the butcher is
forever reminded of his tough
meat, and even the preacher
finds it hard to please all his
congregation with his best SER
