said the patients last hours were
peaceful. Mr.. Morris, who Monday

the morning with his beef and pork.
Starts Packing House.
He started his packing house in
1862 and during the latter part of the

LETTERS MAY GO

WASHINGTON, ID. u, Dee. 14.-In
past years many communications have

Date for the Execution of
Buckaroo Jack Drawing Near

With the date which has been set
as the time his earthly career is to be
ended at the end of the hangman s
rope, Buckaroo Jack, the Humboldt
county Indian wife murderer, is un-
worried, and in the same indifferent
manner with which he listened to the
words that consigned him to his ignoble
end, he bides the fast-fieeting time as
the fatal day approaches.
Over in the state prison yard they
are preparing the scaffold, the altar
upon which the victims to outraged
Justice are sacrificed, and Jack from
his narrow death cell can heal the
ring of hammers, but he pays no atten-
ton to the pounding. He is going to

Pike, but although this may be allowed,
it will only prolong the days of the
