LIST, 1900.

Leroy dlIlman, VINO went from
this place recently to Salt Lake
City for medical treatment, we
learn is much improved in health
and is expected home shortly.
Last Friday night while Chas.
RAIDER, Col. Shears, Doc. Adair,
and others, were returning from
town to the MCGOWAN ranch, and
when near Thos. Jose's ranch.
the wagon became uncoupled
causing the team TO Runaway.
Mr.. RAIDER was thrown out and
in striking the ground inflicted a
bad scalp wound. The others
were not injured to speak of.
Uncle Bill' Scott is just in
from a trip TO Custer county. He
knows that country like a book
and he says that there is not the
slightest doubt but that Custer
viii give nice republican mai
ority this year.-Pocatello Trib-
une.
Uncle Bill" is only talking
through his hat" He is poor
prophet to go by. Two years
ago. if we are not mistaken, he
gave out about the same valuable
information, and what was the
result ? The republicans got 60
out of the $50 votes cast.
Next Thursday the Democrats
of Custer county viii meet in
convention at Houston TO nomin-
ate county ticket. They viii
have as their allies the Populists
and Silver Republicans, and in
fact, all the friends of silver in
Custer county. They should not
be overconfident. however, but
should put up the very best
ticket possible, representing the
different sections of the county
in q fair manner. Be sure and
select good timber for the Legis-
lature as well as the balance of
the ticket. Those candidates
who stand no show Of election at
the polls. should be cast aside.
Edison's Waragraph Co. under
the management of Fleming
Bros. gave two exhibitions IN
Challis last week TO good houses
ON Thursday aud Friday nights.
This is, without question, the
best show its kind that has ever
visited this city. The moving
and other pictures and illustrated
songs Were excellent. besides the
slection in numbers and quality
could hardly be surpassed The
managers are fine gentlemen
sociable and accommodating.
From here they went to Clayton
and Custer, and from the latter
place viii go TO Idaho City over
the State road.
