BAD BUSINESS IN EmmETT.


Complaint has been filed against
Condia Wilson charging him with the
crime of rape. The story told is sub
stantially as follows: Some time ago,
Condia Wilson of Emmett figured in
the courts as respondent in divorce
case wherein he appeared as rather a
malodorous subject. His wife sue
ceeded in securing the divorce. Laser
Wilson became quite intimate with a
Reed family, living in the neighbor-
hood, in which there were two daugh-
tiers, one of whom, it is said, is rather
weak mentally. subsequently Wilson
married the sister of the weak minded
girl, andmow, it is alleged, the latter is
enceinte, in consequence of undue init
macy with her present brother-in-law.
The case was set for hearing last Tues,
day and Attorney Smith was sent for
to conduct the preliminary examina-
ton but could not attend because OF
having case in Payette on the same
day.

Greater than Klondike or Cripple.

A Portland dispatch, dated March IA,
says: Not Alaska, but Buffalo Hump
will DO tue Mecca Of gold seekers and
others this season." remarked A. d.
Charlton, assistant general passenger
agent Of the Northern Pacific railroad,
who has just returned from Spokane.
Charlton Gays, as a result of mining ac-
tivity in Republic district, Boundary,
Camp Mckinley and especially Buffalo,
Spokane is unusually lively. People
there, he says, believe Buffalo Hump
will throw famous Cripple Creek camp
into the shade.
General Passenger Agent uurlburt,
of the 0. r. s. n, says: Great num-
bers Of people will pour into that dis
trict this spring"
while it is not possible to obtain
many details" said Mr.. Hurlburt, ere
garding extent Of mineral veins of
Buffalo Hump district, owing to snow
covering the greater part of the terri
tory, those who have studied COndi-
tions are very sanguine as to the future
of the camp. SO far there have been
bat 200 claims located; but there are
opportunities for thousands of others,
as the veins can be easily traced from
the Hump to Warrens, Idaho, dis
lance of forty miles. 1t is expected
that, before the season is over, mining
operations will be conducted on such q
! large scale as to astonish the world"

Bright Outlook In Lemhi.

With the coming of spring we may
confidently look for great enterprises
to be inaugurated in Lemhi county. \
great deal of capital will be invested
here in our mines. The heavy snow
fall in the mountains insures fine crops
for our farmers and will make the
ranges good for our stock interests.
Above all is the prospect for the build-
ing of our long expected railroad be-
tween Butte and Boise, which we are
assured will be commanded this year.
Old Lemhi is all right yet, and within
two years we expect to see population
of our onpretenLiOus town swell from
it's present number to at least 10000.
Let each one in our community cOnsti-
tute himself committee of one to
work for the interests of our town and
county, using all endeavor to induce in
vestors to put their money in here and
the much talked of and long looked for
boom will become a Certainty.-Salmon
Recorder.

eral allowance for an administration
that makes no claims for public ap-
proval except on tho score of whitening
economy. IL will be noted that the
$1,000 of deficiencies coming over from
the Mcconnell administration have
been omitted. In a paroxysm of econ

other reason except desire to cast
odium upon Republican administra-

the list is quite large enough to dem

1t has been noticed that the ad va.
loren tax levy made by the late legis.
lature was S245,OOO per annum, or
S490,O0O for two years, while the appro.
priations made were something in ex-
cess of Sc ~1l 30. This simply means
that the EXPOSES on this showing will
be nearly 100000 in excess of the in
come. say nearly because the SI5,-
600 appropriation for expenses in con.
nection with the volunteers may be
paid by the general government. How
ever, there have heretofore been some
sources of revenue which the public
had little knowledge of. There was a
considerable revenue accruing from
poll tax. This source has been shut
off. There is yet though docket fees
and fees in connection with the Office
of Secretary of State, but nOtwithstand-
ing these aud any other revenues there
will remain very large deficit to meet

issue will, Of course, delay it for a few
years, but sooner or later it must come.

to Do Extra Hazardous Work.
A Boise dispatch says: Letters and
papers were received here today from
Manila, which give more in detail the
part played by the Idaho regiment in
the two important engagements with
the Filipin0s at Santa Ana and Calico
can. They show that the sons of Ida
no won everlasting laurels In the first
engagement the Idahos chafed under
an order holding them in reserve for a
few hours, When the order was given
to move to the fighting line, General
King ordered more cautious advance,
but the commanders of the battalions
were unable to check their men. Fin
ally King tried to stop the on-rushing
mass of men. When he saw'his efforts
were futile, he yelled: "Let the damn
ed wild saVages go on" and the boys
went after the rebels like a whirlwind.
After the battle King paid the Idaho
boys high compliment. He said their
charge was one of the most brilliant he
had ever seen. The regiment was d.
yided on each side Of the Santa Ana
road Major McConville's battalion
captured the Krupp guns which had
prevented the American gunboat from
going up the river to attack the insur-
gents OH the flank. 1t was during this
maneuver that McConville received his
death wound. Before he died he was
breveted brigadier general. Major
Higgins battalion drove the insurgents
from their trenches, and captured %
prisoners.
In view of the valor shown by the
Idaho boys, General Macarthur, when
he anticipated the Caloocan battle and
sent for reinforcements, especially re-
quested that the Idaho regiment be in.
GUIDED Here again the Idahos uistin-
guished themselves. One company helG
an outpost position under a terrific fire
for several hours. They were relieved
by a Kansas company, which was
forced to retire in 20 minutes.
The Idaho regiment contains large
number of mOuntaineers who are con
sidered crack shots. A number of these
were sent out by General King to 81
lence lot of rebel sharpshooters. The!
killed a number, and drove the res
back. Ia one instance, two out Of three
rebel shaTpshooters in one tree weru
killed at distance of 900 yards. Gen
eral Otis took occasion to specially com

tie he gave orders to the quartermaste
