A rather peculiar speoiman, and n
that is not often foundi in large a
titles in this section of the country,
has recently been unearthed by the
Iowa Central while excavating for the
side track recently constructed to the
Marshall Pottery Company's clay bed
at Clifford. The specimen found is that
of n petrified tree trunk, and SO far
as 1t has been uncovered is almost per-
feet, altho it's length is not known. 1t
stands in an upright position in the
clay, the top being near the surface.
Two or three feet OF the top have been
broken off and been carried away by
curio hunters. The fact OF Its being
there is rather peculiar, as nothing sim
lilar has been found neal the spot.

years for robbiug the Montpelier bank.

home near Fort Bridger, this county.
When Meeks escaped from the insane
asylum at Blackfoot, Idaho, last Aug
the result of fall from second-story
window This bruise has cost him no
end Of suffering since; and he now pre-
sents the appearance of decrepit old
in the city this week and was quite bold
in proclaiming the whereabouts of his
brother. He says that the prisoner rode
horseback for about five hundred miles
with his broken shoulder. The feat
was also accomplished with but one leg.
as it will be remembered that Meeks
suffered the lose Of leg while attempt
ing to escape from the penitentiary, He
is now total physical wreck and the
officers claim that it would be inhuman
to again put him behind the grated
bars
The officers of this county who were
serving at the time of the Montpelier
robbery were instrumental in securing
Meeks arrest. When he received u sem
tence Of thirty-five years, however, they
at once attested their disapproval by
openly declaring that the sentence was
far to severe. Previous to his arrest
Meeks was fine physical specimen and
was considered man of daring nerve.
His aged father and two brothers are
raMchers near Fort Bridger, where Bob,
has spent many happy years.
After his leg was amputated the pris-
oner became insane and was confined to
the asylum at Blackfoot. The insanity
plea, however, was evidently ruse, as

MIR. Woolley In Office.

Hou. H. Smith Woolley took formal
charge of the United States assay Office
in this city today. His appointment to
succeed Mr.. Cunningham has been one
of the widest advertised of any made
of late years IN the northwest, because
of Mr.. Woolley's prominence in the
Mormon church. If Senator Dubois
and the Idaho Statesman are sincere
in their declarations that the fight will
be pnshed in the United States senate
against his confirmation, Mr.. Woolley
will possibly be the cause of the news
alignment of political parties of Idaho,
If not in several other western states.
Personally the new chief assayer is a
good looking young man. affable, gen.
tlemanly, and Of good personal habits
and business integrety. His friends as
sert that the sole cause of the attac
upon him is the reflection OF personal
disappointment, coupled with the desire
of certain politicians to make an anti
church fight. Capital News.

Last Saturday evening few friends
assembled at the home of Mr.. and Mrs

depart, a knock was heard at the door.
Mrs. King answered it, and as she
opened the door a drunken man stag

lately led him out. In a few minutes
he returned and this time he had to be

the back just below the shoulder, and
then he realized that he was stabbed.
About this time he discovered that he
had also been slashed across the throat.
but the sharpness of the knife had pre-

done. He called to Mr.. Davis, who was
close by, to look out for the fellow as
he had knife.

him ON the chin but the knife failed to
reach Jeff's throat. Then the stabber
started to run, and in the darkness sue

later was captured. All those present
