All kinds of fresh fruits and
vegetables for sale by William
Buster, Challis, Idaho.
Mrs. Irma M. Smith has re-
ceived the appointment as post
mistress at Ivers, loon Creek,
this county.
Theo. Cameron returned last
Friday evening from Spencer
where he has been for more than
two years past.
1t is now past the middle of
June and it is like winter, with
snow storms raging in the low
foothills. 1t is a very backward
season and crops in this vicinity
are making little progress. Last
Thursday night there was very
hard frost which did consider
able damage.
Deputy Game Warden Horton
is hot on the trail of the law vio-
laters. Last week he made a
hide and fur buyer by the name
of Pink, who was in Challis, pay
a fine of $1,000 for having a
beaver skin in his possession.
LaVinne, of Loon Creek, also
paid a fine of $1,000 for endeav-
oring to ship furs contrary to
law.
Supt. Sheahan of the Lost
Packer Mining company, Loon
creek, arrived in Challis Thurs
day evening, on a business trip.
He is in need of miners and lab
orers at the mines and smelter,
as the company are ready to en-
large their working force to COM
mence operations on a large
scale. The heavy snow of last
winter has been a serious draw
back to the industries of that
country. While at the present
time there is no snow at Loon
creek, yet on the the Jordan
creek summit, which they have
to freight over, there is at the
present time twelve feet of snow
and sleighs have to be used in
going over the summit.
A drunken row among a numb
er of Austrains in Harry Groves
saloon at Mackay, last week, was
the cause of some excitement.
In the fight one of the Austrains
received a shot through his
cheek, but was not fatally injur-
ed. Marshal Huffman appeared
on the scene and endeavored to
restore order, when one of the
Austrains- the one that did the
shooting-attacked him with a
knife. Huffman waited his op-
portunity and struck his foe on
the head several times with his
six-shooter, thereby placing the
fellow under the immediate care
of surgeon. The Austrian will
who did the shooting will have
his trial as soon as he RECEIVERS
sufficiently.
Tests with the government
submarine boats that have just
been concluded at Newport, in
dicatc that this class of vessels
has developed to the point where
it is no longer mere forlorn
hope, a death risking desperate
contrivance, but a legitimate arm
of the service that will have to
be definitely reckoned with in
future naval wars and in naval
building programs. The two
boats that have been tested have
not only shown speed on the sur
face and under it but ability to
stay down for "A hours at a time
without inconvenience to their
crews. They have shown that
the United States is in possess
ion of as effective submarine yes
sells as any power in the world,
and they indicate strongly that
the American coast will be a
mighty unhealthy region for any
hostile feet to navigate in should

At a meeting of the members
of the Congregational church in
Challis last week, Rev. A. J..
Hoar received the unanimous
vote of the members to remain
as their pastor for another year.
He has not accepted or declined
up to this time. Mr.. Hoar has
done good work here and is very
highly esteemed by all. We
are informed that he will remain
if conditions can be arranged
satisfactorily to him.
If Harry Hogan, alias Orchard,

is the lowest wretch to be found

country, and if it is manufactur-
ed evidence (probably most of it
isl, to implicate innocent officials
of the Federation, to save his
own neck, he is about as low in
the scale of human degradation
as it is possible to so. His whole
evidence on the witness stand
reads like it was manufactured
by others. and he has committed
the story to memory. He says

He was mixed up with the Goldaeld
Bank n Trust company when that in
%stitution failed in May. 1905. He
escaped prosecution on technicalities and
since that time has engaged in numer-
GUS ventures.
He was a man about As years of age,
large and handsome and of strong per-
sonality. Had he devoted himself to
legitimate enterprises it is said, he
would easily have been one of the
wealthy men of the country.
The only good ever heard of him was
the care he took of his invalid wife. VINO
Is a paralytic. Burton cared for her as
one would for a child. wheeling her
about in an invalid chair and attending
to her every want. as she was absolutely
helpless.

FRANCISL. BURTON KILLED
in SHOOTING SCRAPE

Francis L. Burton, well known in
Goldheld through his connection with
the looting of the Goldield Bank and
Trust company over two years ago. was
shot and instantly killed at Nina last
Tuesday by j. Holman Buck. editor of
the Western Nevad Miner and Rawhide
Rustler. The shooting was the outcome
of a scathing article published in the
Rawhide Rustler about ten days ago.
Burton had been located in Nina for
some time and had stirred up consider
able trouble there. and a couple of weeks
g went to Rowhide and was ordered
out of town by the citizens of that camp.
This was followed by the article in the
Rustler. and as there had been bad blood
between Burton and the editor for some
time. a shooting ARRAY was looked for
when they met. Burton had made
threats to kill Buck on sight and the
latter carried a sawed-off schotgun to
protect himself. Tuesday noon they
met in front of a hotel at Nina and
Buck emptied both barrels of his gun
at Burton. killing him instantly.
Buck gave himself into custody i'm
mediately after the shooting and at the
coroner's inquest held next day the YER
dict was non-committal. the jury falling
to either exonerate or hold Buck for the
killing. District Attorney Swallow, who
attended the inquest. is of the opinion
that Buck could not be convicted, as the
evidence showed the shooting was in
self-defense. and the chances are that he
will never have to stand trial.
Burton had an unsavory record of
many years standing. A few years ago
he was beaten up in a fight in Colorado
and started for his home in the east. He
was caught in a train wreck and
claimed to have been injured. On this
claim he received several thousand dol
lars from the railroad company. Soon
afterward 1t was learned that his claims
were fraudulent. He was arrested. con-
victed and sentenced to the penitentiary
in Massachusetts,. While serving his
sentence he won the friendship of the
warden. who secured a parole for the
convict. Not only this but be backed
Burton in a mining venture. giving him
about $4,000. Burton went to Colorado
broke his parole and came to Goldfeld
