Huff is fluff"

From Thursdays daily.
Louis Huff, who seems to have
the happy faculty of always getting
into trouble, was yesterday arrest
ed for resisting an officer. A search
warrant was sworn out at the in
stance of James Cornell, a carpen-
ter living in the vicinity of the ac-
cused, who charges Huff with hav-
ing in his possession tools and 9TH
err articles stolen from him. The
papers were handed to Sheriff M :
Lean, who proceeded to make a
thorough search, but was interior
ed with in performing the duties of
his office, by Huff. He Immediate
ly arrested Huff, who made great
efforts to do the officer bodily harm
but he was finally overcome and
placed in the Jail at Mt. Idaho
where he will be kept until his
trial is set. The warrant was
sworn out before Justice Hartman.
Huff has been constantly in diff
culties with his neighbors, having
been charged some time since with
maltreating small children who re-
side near him, and found guilty
by the Judge. There are grave
doubts as to his sanity and he will
no doubt be placed wher, he will
henceforth be unable to affend.

The latest reports from the So

them arrived yesterday afternoon
at lewiston by the boat, and the
residue will arrive in Lewiston on
today's boat, and that tomorrow
morning they will all start in a
body, arriving Mt Cottonwood to-
morrow night and there they will
remain over night making Grange

Of the men who arrived yesterday
the names Of Wood, Green, knorr,
Pearson aud Cook could be learned,
but 1t WAS impossible to get the
names Of the others. This does
not leave much time for the pro-
posed decorations, but they can be
made just the same, with u little
extra labor. The boys are now in
the hands of the committee who
were sent down to take care OF

they will have every want an

PREPARING EOR OUR BOYS
/ gsa Suggestions Regarding tae En-
tgrtAilmsgt Of 10. G.

A. thc time draws nearer whei
tie bays ~ Company e can be ex
pected to arrive in Lewiston, ex
peetancy grows greater and al
who have relatives among then
are joined BY those who are mere
" interested from the fact thai
they are the defenders of the coun.
try's honor, and also from the gen.
era feeling for the fellow citizens
who are directly interested, in one
grand desire to make the volun-
teers reception, at least in Il small
way, commensurate with the SER
vises which have been SO gladly
rendered by our boys.
Asa matter of fact, there are as
many people in our city and on
Camas Prairie who are working
and striving to make the affair a
thorough success, who have never
either seen or met the boys, as are
those who are interested both from
ties of either blood or friendships;
but it is merely one more evidence
of the great good feeling which
seems to belong to Camas Prairie,
that oldtimers and newcomers have
joined hands for the mutual en-
tertainment of-in the words of
the late Major McConville-our
lighting mountain goats" But
it is a grand and worthy cause and
not one stone should be left un-
turned to make the fete a glorious
success Let us throw all person
al considerations aside, in the shape
of business, private engagements,
etc, and just turn ourselves loose
for royal good time to be tender
ed to the boys, and let them be the
one and only consideration. just
think Of what they have gone
through, the privations which they
have endured, the trials which
have been their chosen lot, and the
dangers from both the enemy's
bullets and from disease of climate
which they endured, and then see
il few minutes taken from your
occupation, no matter what it may
be or how important, will be miss
ed in the great reckoning if you
give them to the boys. Now, are
you preparing to decorate your
buildings and homes? Please do
not leave everything to the com
mittecs; il is mpo-slblc to do
everything 20 make the city pre-
sentable with the funds st their
disposal Just Il littlc accomplish
ed By each and every individual
and you will form IA hypothesis for
the relation of, "Well, | viii never
forget the day we got home t.
Grangeville from the Philippine
war;" ETC., and that is worthy of
your consideration.
One more thing which the Pass
would suggkst is that those of our
citizens who have private convey
ances, utilize them in meeting the
procession at least short distance
from town and escorting them in;
together with the different secret
orders, who, we understand, have
perfected arrangements to act as a
triumphial escort to the returning

the consent of the governed.
Is it true or is it false? If that
doctrine is true, then this ma.

armed to fight against that
monarch.
