Coat of Tar and Feathers

The hobo who tried to hold up
the Jap section hands last Sunday
morning and who was thrown into
Jail by Marshal Tanner in apple pie
order isn't likely ever to return to
Mountain Home again as long as
he lives; neither is the other bestial
brute, whose unmentionable offense
on Sunday afternoon served to land
him in Jail, ever likely intrude him
self upon the community during the
course of his natural life. 1t is
credibly reported that upon the re.
lease of this precious pair from the
Jail Monday evening they were met
by a committee of citizens who
escorted them to the edge of town
and administered a very much
needed coat of tar and feathers after
soundly thrashing each with a
brand-new buggy whip until they
howled for mercy, which was tardi-
y extended. Then they were ad-
monished to shit the grit" which
they did, going east. so we are told,
and one of the pair being ridden on
rail for several hundred yards en-.
cased in his sable coat.

Pioneers of the Sixties

Uncle Ben Nordyke came down
from Rocky Bar Monday in order
to be with his wife, who has been
quite i'll for some time at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Dorsey here in town.
Yesterday she was quite low, but
Uncle Ben nevertheless has great
hopes that his good wife will pull
safely through, hopes in which the
numerous friends of the aged couple
pray there my be abundant war
rant.
Mrs. Nordyke enjoys the distinc-
tion of being the first white woman
to make her home in what was then
known as Boise City, reaching there
July 7th, 1868.
When Uncle Ben ca re to Idaho
in the early SOS, Alturas county
formed in 63) embraced two or
three adjoining states, and the Of
ficers could ride all summer and
still get nowhere outside the
county lines. He was at Rocky
Bar, too, when the first big "kill-
ings' in gold were made, and re-
lates how the Kelly brothers clear
ed fifty and sixty thousand dollars
week; how the stranger down on
his luck could come into Rocky
Bar and live off the fat Of the land
for any old length of time, and all
at the expense of the two brothers
who kept open house for all at all
times and seasons; without money
and without price" made no diff
ference-everything was free. Seven
or eight thousand people were at
one time living prosperously in the
old district, where today scarcely
that many score could be scared
up. The old camp is a mere
shadow of it's former wealth and
splendor, and the old gentleman
after more than two years absence
returns to find it less prosperous
than at any time in its history, but
still with a future pregnant with
promise.

The remains of the late Charles
r. Kelsey, who died at Redlands,
CAL, on the morning of Friday,
June Oath, we're brought back as
far as Ogden, where last Monday
they were deposited in a temporary
receiving vault, later to be trans
ferred to Omaha, Neb., when a vault
for their final reception shall have
been constructed there.
The removal of Mr.. Kelsey takes
from our midst one of the very
foremost and successful men of
affairs, whose uncommon sagacity,
energy and resourcefulness have
been the marvel of associates and
competitors, both in Mountain
Home and throughout the country.
It also deprives his family of a
husband and father ideal in every
relation, and renders their desola.

deed.

man Mr.. Kelsey came west locat-
ing for a short time at Cheyenne,
Wyo., from which place he went
to Omaha to accept position as
head book-keeper and general man
ager for Max Myer & Co., wholesale
merchants. Here in 1881 Mr.. Kel-
sey was united in marriage to Miss
Altha Belle Houck, and the fruits
of this union are one son and a
dau ghter, who with their mother
surv i've. About 1889 Mr.. Kelsey
removed with his family to Rock
Springs, Wyo., where he quickly
acquired extensive coal interests,
becoming a one-third owner in the
Sweetwater Coal company, and oc-
cupying for seven years a COM
manding position in this industry,
controlling fully two-thirds of the
western trade. After .disposing OF
his interests here Mr.. Kelsey spent
about eight months in Nebraska,
engaging in the grain and mercan.
tile trade, during the well-remem.

operations in the Chicago grain pit
Some six years ago Mr.. Kelsey
came here, put in a modest stock o

to occupy tenth part of the fool
