ss2.5OO FORECLOSURE SUIT.
Bruneau Land & Irrigation Company
Is Defendant

The Boise Capital News gives the
pros and cons as follows. of the trou-
bles of the famous Bruneau compan-.
There was filed in the United States
circuit court Saturday, by A. A. Fra
ser, its attorney, the complaint of the
Southwestern Trust company of Mis-
souri, trustee, vs., Bruneau LAM K
Irrigation company, limited, of Idaho,
praying for a judgment against the
company in the sum of 100000 and
interest at the rate of even per cent
per annum from the first day of July
1904, together with $2500 attorneys
fees; also for a decree of foreclosure
of trust deed executed by said Bru-
neau company July l, 1904. to secure
the payment of bond issued by the
company in the sum of 100000. con-
veying all the bitches, lands. water
rights, dams, reservoirs, incomes and
other real, personal and mixed prop
critics and rights belonging to said
company, which are mainly situated
in Owyhee county, Idaho.
The complaint states that of said
100000 of bonds, 100000 have been
issued and disposed of for value and
that no portion thereof or interest
thereon. though due, has been paid
The complaint further states that
the Bruneau company is insolvent: :
that II has ceased work on the con-
struction of the dams and bitches
covered by said trust deed, and that
the company has permitted liens to
be filed on the property covered in the
trust deed to the amount of $4,000.
That said Bruneau company is the
owner of notes, mortgages and other
personal property to the value of over
$4,000 and the complaint asks for
the appointment of n receiver to take
possession of said personal property
| and to otherwise aid i'm the foreclosure
of said trust deed and the sale of the
property and rights described therein.
1t is claimed the Bruneau company
could finance its project If II had a
clear title not entangled with debts.
The foreclosure proceeding will no
doubt clear up matters when the
property is bid in. When this is done,
there can be no question but what one
of the best irrigation projects-that
of storing the water of Jack and
Wickahoney creeks Tor use on Bru-
neau valley lands, will be financed
and completed.

STAGECOACHING DAYS.
An Old World Era With Decided
Flavor of Romance.

The old coaching days, as far as con-
venience for travel was concerned
were the dawn of the great days Of our
present rapid means of communication.
The seventy years or SO in which mail
coaches waXed and flourshed and
finally died out before the incursion Of
railways and steam engines have de-
cided favor Of romance attached to
them, and no doubt the coming and
going of stagecoaches lent a certain
amount of color and interest and life
to the country places and towns
through which ran the great main
coaching roads. The Bath road, the
Dover road, the York road were high
ways of communication along which
rolled the heavy private coaches and
chariots of the country magnates, and
the stagecoaches with their steaming
horses passed the various stopping
places with the regularity of clock
work.
These stagecoaches, with their com.
plement of coachmen and guards, af-
forded endless subjects of interest and
illustration to the artist and the liter
airy men Of the day. Imagine Charles
Dickens without stagecoaches and de-
nuded of all his vivid descriptions Of
the scenes such as those in the yard Of
the White Hart inn, High street, Bor-
ough, in "Pickwick," or of the mail
coach on the Dover road in "A Tale Of
Two Cities" 1t is difficult for the pres
ent generation to realize the fatigue
and the wintry cold Of such long jour
neys, when frozen feet were envelopee
In little straw, and shawl folded
round the neck was thought to be tit
protection against the keen night air.
