to town, and lose their memory
and things.
Then we went over town some,
and Henry watched everything that
happened to us, 1--WE not being used
to town much), and then told some
of the things so that it "come out
in the paper" and all the folks at
home found it out-that's another
bad trait in Henry's character, tell
ing things.
Finally Henry asked US if we
would take dinner with him and
we said yes, and just as we were
passing the city jail Henry called
to a fellow with blue clothes and a
star on his coat and told him to
escort us into the back parlor till
after dinner, but just then the
whistle blew and we had to catch
the train.

were in town, she knew us, she's

Billy Boydstun Goes Back on
Charles h. Henry.

During our short acquaintance
with G. H. Henry, before he left
his country home in Long valley
and moved to the city of Nampa,
we had considered him one among
our warmest friends. We took him
to be a man that one could trust
and depend upon at all times. We
paid him our highest respects, in
fact we considered him a gentle
man in every sense of the word
this was before we thoroughly knew
the man.
Our first glimpse into the true
character of our pretended friend
was during our recent trip to Boise,
when, being anxious to reach home
at the earliest possible moment, we
took passage from Boise to Weiser
on the Cannon Ball" This is
supposed to be the fastest train on
the continent, leaving Boise at 30
a. m. it arrives at Huntington about
an hour and a quarter after dark,
covering nearly 1O3 ga miles.
Before reaching Nampa, we learn
ed from the conductor that the
train would slow up there to allow
the passengers to get their breath
and prepare for another swift ride.
Only having two hours and thirty
minutes to look up our old friends
and catch the train again, we told
Eph if we could find G.. HI. Henry
and talk with him for a few min
utes it would make him feel sc
much better, he would feel more al
home, everything in the city being
so strange to him like, it would be
to him like being in strange coun
try and meeting some of his folks.
We was just telling Eph how
tickled Henry would be when W.
met Henry and three or four more
high toned fellows that Away
