merchant, was up here yesterday and
qualified as justice of the peace for
Murphy precinct. The gentleman was
elected last year but did not qualify,
and only did SO now at the urgent re-
quest of the business men, it being
necessary to have an officer there to
inspect livestock being shipped from
that place.
Barlow, as harbinger of the APP
proach of the good old summer time,
has had his soda fountain and ice
cream apparatus in fine working order
for a number of days. But alas the
ladies still wearing winter wraps, do
not deem it just the proper thing to
drop into his pleasant parlors just yet.
Barlow will become disconsolate if
Owyhee weather does not soon become
more propitious. This is our weather
item this week. 1t is still uncomforta-
bly, cold in these hills of ours.
o. D. Brumbaugh. since reopening
the War Eagle hotel, has been refitting
up the bar room and has had it stocked
with the very finest of wines and
liquors of every character, and engaged
James Cunningham to do the polite
act behind the bar counter. 1t was
always quiet place where gentlemen
could go without meeting a rough
crowd, and it will keep up that reputa-
tion while in Mr.. Cunningham's charge.
The War Eagle is filing up with good
people who enjoy good fare, homelike
comforts and companionable associ-
ates
Last week, Jap Spencer's business
place at Bruneau was burglarized and
about S23 taken from the till. Sus-
picion pointed TO a young man named
Fred Whitley, who was arrested and
"'fessed " up" as Topsy would say. He
was committed by Justice Slime of that
place, and Sheriff Duncan went to
Bruneau and brought him here last
Friday, and placed him in Jail to await
trial, and the court now sitting will
deal with the case. The boy is only IL;
has heretofore borne good reputation
and all parties are disposed to wish
him dealt with leniently.
L. A. York, publisher of the Ava
lanche in more fiourishing days of that
once popular paper, and now editor of
the Weiser World, flourishing publi-
cation, arrived here saturday, paying
his first visit to his former home since
he left here, more than three years ago
Mr.. York was accompanied by e. NJ
Barton, leading banker and business
, mon of Weiser, and they together
; visited DeLamar and Dewey, and
tramped over War Eagle, looking at
mines and prospects, scarcely leaving
: Bre'r York time to shake hands with
his hosts of friends here. They re-
turned home Wednesday. Come again,
gentlemen.
The Sunday closing law was knocked
into the everlasting smithereens by the
county dads of Owyhee, last Saturday.

last winter gives the commissioners

Lamar. Dewey, Grand View, Guffey,

know how many othrr places, and in
5 consequence, all the places of amuse-
ment we're opened on the Lords day
and the old soaks did not have to make
r provision on the previous day for their
Sundays sustenance.
