ing, and left for Bonanza the
same day. He is one of the own

that 600-foot cross-cut tunnel

The Mt. Home Herald speaks
a heap of truth in an article
headed BE Consistent. Itsays:
Home trading helps home bust
ness. A dollar spent at home
comes back to the spender. Home
trading helps build up the home
town Home trading permits
the buyer to examine goods be-
fore they are paid for. Home
trading encourages home mer-
chants to keep a larger stock of
goods and to reduce prices to the
lowest margin of profit. Home
trading gives opportunity for
profitable employment to many
clerks, statesmen and other en-
ployes. Home trading helps
your business, whatever it is. Do
you trade at home ? If not. why
not Doubtless every business
man in Mountainhome, on read
ing the above, will exclaim !:
That's the stuff-old Payne's
head is level for once But are
they all consistent? Do they all
trade at home ? Not much when
it comes to printing. Some-not
all-send outside for their bill
heads, letter heads. envelopes,
etc. Yes, home trade is best for
all home people and bad for the
foreign mail order fellows. So
by all means. patronize home
merchants-and home printing
offices"

came over to Challis and swore

She alleged in her complaint
that her husbands conduct had
been very bad of late-so serious
that it was of criminal nature

State of Idaho, was made party

that her wicked husband had
threatened her life;that he struck
her with a rope, and divers things
that was unbecoming for a once
devoted husband to do. The trial
was held before Judge Finnell's
Court and the jury discharged
the defendant. The matter did
end there, however, for Thomp-

before the Justice of the Peace
court in Challis last Thursday,
and at the hour of 8 o'clock p. IN.
of said day, this court in its wise
conclusions, found the defendant
guilty and put him under $3.50
peace bonds. 1t is time to put
an end to these family quarrel
