Halloween passed off quietly and
DIS far as reported no serious mis-

figures could be seen flirting about
the streets occasionally, but they
were all orderly and had no APP
parent desire to disturb our Sob
ly inclined citizens.
An adjourned term of the dist
riot court was called last Saturday

say that he occupied the bench in
an able and dignified manner.
The Idaho County Stock As
ISOLATION is in session here today
and our town is chuck full of the
men who ride the range. They rep
resent an energetic, wide-a-wakt
element of our citizenship that ha,
done much to add to the wealth
and development of our country
and we trust this meeting will b,
sufficiently pleasant to induce
them to come again.
