The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1907-01-17

The funeral OF Phil Richter, the
suicide, was held at the Methodist
church Saturday afternoon. 1t was
impossible TO get word TO his sister,
so the funeral was taken 10 charge
by friends who had known him for
the past dozen years.
There was young man brought to
town from Spring Mountain last
week who had bis feet and hands
badly frozen. The sufferer was taken
out 10 the Hot Springs the last OF
the week We understand portion
OF bis feet will have to be amputated.
As strange as IL may seem 10 some
people there Is not now a colored per-
son In town since the death Of Auntie
O'SuIliyan. There was colored man
10 Salmon few years ago, but be
got so impudent that IL was made to
appear 10 him that IL was healthier
In other parts OF the country.
Two mornings this week the ther-
mometer has been as low as twenty
degree below zero. the coolest OF the
winter so far. IL was so still how
ever that II was necessary to hunt up
thermometer to fiBd out how cold
IL was, and even then 1t was hard to
convince yourself that II VS. so cold.
The county commissioners con-
vened Tuesday and settled up with
the old officers and swore In the Of
ncers elect. The board will more
than likely be In session until the
first OF next week, as they have a
large amount OF business TO look
after at this session. Mr.. Hull and
Mr.. Wilson seem To fit la as members
OF the board very nicely.
On account OF being unable to get
coal as rapidly as desired the wood
haulers find a ready sale for all they
can deliver In town. and then the
supply OF good wood Is hardly equal
To the demand. The shortage OF
coal Is due to the fact that there has
been several caveins at the mine,
which has greatly impeded the work
OF the miners.
In giving the list Of new officers
last week we omitted the name Of Y.
u. Cowen, county attorney elect.
To refresh our memory we were re-
ferring to the democratic ticket, ant
as there was no candidate of tina,
party for county attorney that change
In the personnel for that Office slip
n ped our mind. In any event, Mr.
T. Cowen Is now the county attorney
Judge Sinclair retiring.
