United States Commissioner, and
Mrs. Mason and Oakley Lawson held

Joe Lawson his life, and for which Jen-
sen is held. Mrs. Mason was held I'M

which they being unable to give, were

Two stout, healthy looking women
were doing DeLamar several days, this
week and last, as professional beggars.
They worked the old professional gag,
of a book with printed Certificate in
it, which failed to tell who they were
or where they were from, or where the
doctors and clergymen whose names
were attached existed, if at all, yet they
made big wages while here. 1t is worse
than throwing money away to give it to
such people, for it is encouraging
fraud. Send the next unworthy pair
away empty handed.
Now that the weather is becoming
colder and fires are necessity, it is IA
good time for our recently created
board Of fire wardens to put in day
examining the ramshackle stove pipes
and chimneys in town. Only the even
ing before last disjointed stove pipe
in shack occupied by cyprian in
the lower town caused an incipient
blaze in the roof, which but for timely |
discovery endangered the entire town.
In some of the orgies which occur in
that and similar places we are liable to |
all be burned out. If the fire wardens |
will cinch some of of the owners of such
places they will learn to be more
careful.
The DeLamar Cornet Band is put
ting in some steady work at practicing
now in anticipation of the week it will
play at Boise for the fair. For band,
every single member of which is n
miner or mechanic earning livelihood
by hard work, DeLamar has occasion
to be proud of the music they treat us
with these fine evenings; but we are
too modest to assume that, in Boise
they will excel all the other bands
which will play at the fair We only
hope we will hear a good report of
them. They will play in sacred con-
cert to be given at the Columbia Opera
House, on the Sabbath night preceding
the opening of the fair.

year or more, though most OF the time he

MAY NOT BE TRIED HERE.
Portland May Not Have a Chance to
See Maxwell After All.

No decision has, after all, been reached
regarding the trial of Maxwell, the man
who Is charged with having committed
murder on the high seas few weeks age.
Last week despatch was sent out from
st. John, N. b.. where Maxwell Is being
held as prisoner. to the effect that 1t
was probable that the man would be
brought to this city and tried In the
United States Circuit court. The an
nouncem. mt may have been premature.
The grand jury Of the Decsmber term
convened Tuesday, but 1t Is not thought
that the officials have made any plans to
hiring the Maxwell case before that boay.

ternoon United States Marshal Saunders

He Will Accept Charity Of the Saints.

Knoxville Tenn, Nov. 14.-Impressed
with the advantages of polygamy over
pauperism, the Rev. DIR. Sharrett, a
nonogenarian inmate of the poorhouse
in this city, departed from that institu-
ton on Saturday night, taking with
him no less than five female paupers
1t is the declared intention of the aged
clergyman and his infatuated followers
to walk to Utah, where, under the pro-
lection of the Mormon church, they
hope to be permitted to enjoy their new
faith in peace. DR.. Sharrett's followers
are all women of advanced years.
Dr. Sharrett, who not long ago cele-
brated his 91st birthday in the poor
house, which had been his home for
many years, recently received a circular
explaining the peculiar doctrines of the
Mormon church and advocating plural
matrimony.
The arguments made a deep Impress

Not only was he converted, but he be-
came an active propaganda and
preached his new faith with such dill
gence that he soon made many converts
among his photographers Of the fair
sex, to whom his arguments were prin-
cipally addressed.
AT first his ministrations were the
subject of merriment among the au-
thorities of the poorhouse, but yester-
day morning the discovery was made
that he and the five old women had
secretly departed from the institution
during the night
Their intentions were revealed by the
discovery of a letter addressed to the
superintendent of the poorhouse, which
was found inside the bed occupied by
DR.. Sharrett. 1t was signed by the old
pastor and his five companions, all OF
whom announced that they had en-
braced the Mormon faith, and that
being penniless, they had decided tC
undertake on foot the long march to the
new Zion.

George s. McClelland and Chester
Doten had a fox hunt yesterday which
they enjoyed in spite of the weather,
They went out to Stonehouse hill to
chase the willy reynard, bringing with
them A. B, F. Kinney's promising
young hounds Keno and Duke. The
hunting grounds were reached about Z
o'clock. AS they put UP their horse in
farmers barn the owner told them
he thought they would start a fox If
they went over the hill to the rear of
the barn, and they headed in that d.
rection. Hardly had they turned the
corner of the barn when Mr.. Doten
called his companions attention to an
object standing on a hill about quar-
ter of mile distant Mr.. McClelland
recognized it at once as a fox and they
walked toward him as fast as they
could. The fox saw them and scam
pered off.
In the meantime the dogs were work.
ing over to the left and by the time
the hunters reached the place where
the fox had stood the dogs came there
also and were put on the scent. 1t was
fresh, and they went off like a streak
of lightning. The scent carried the
chase away from the men and soon
after such heavy fog settled down
that they could see but few rods
before them. The chase lasted about
six hours. The fox did not come near
the hunters once but they heard the
tonguing of the hounds all the time.
The hounds were still driving when the
men came home in the afternoon, but

Nyack, N. Y, Nov. 15.-News at last

up the mysterious disappearance of the
Rev. William Hart Dexter, who went
to New York about a week ago and
concerning whose whereabouts the po-
lice Of the metropolis have been I'M

FAMILY COMPLICATIONS.
Jersey Minister Will Wed His Own
Adopted Mother.

Railway, N. j., Nov. 15.-The Rev.
Frederick C. Mooney, pastor of the
First Methodist Episcopal church, is
going to marry his adopted mother
today, she being So years old, and he
a.
If children bless the union, Mrs.
Mooney will enjoy the distinction of
being both grandmother and mother of
her own offspring.
The father of the children being the
son of their mother, must, necessarily,
be their brother. and this would put the
children of the minister under the pain
full necessity of choosing whether to
call him papa or brother Fred"
Being the husband of the grandmoth-
er of his own children, he would per
force be their grandfather and this
triple relationship would lead to other
complications, which Railway is toe
weary to figure out.
