the most improbable hunting yarns,
honest and improvident, everybody
liked him.
Considerable anxiety is felt here over
the condition Of Mrs. Il. Nugent, wife
of Judge Nugept, whom she has so long
been nursing and caring for, in St. Al
phonsus' hospital, Boise. The husband
has for more than two years been in
the hospital, afflicted with softening of
the brain, and the splendid mentality
whivh once DISTINGUISHED him as one of
the foremost among the legal lights Of
the West, is now hopelessly gone. The
elderly lady who has so faithfully stay
ed by his side, during all this time, is
now reported to be very low, with
pneumonia. Her son. John + Nugent
Esq, aud wife, now reside in B Use and
OF course are doing everything possible
for her. But her many friends
who learned to love her during her long
residence here are very anxious and
hope that She may speedily recover.
Mrs. Margaret Booth, the mother of
Mrs. Charles E. Kingsley, with whose
family she has made her home for sew
eral years past, after brief illness,
passed to the Great Beyond at an early
hour, Wednesday morning, January 2,
1907, and was buried at o'clock today,
in the Knights of Pythias burying
ground, her funeral taking place from
the Catholic church. Her age was 73
years.

Ireland, in 1888 came TO Boston with
her parents when 12 years of age; went
to California when 10, and was married

Beginning Wednesday evening, our
mountains have been treated to an '.old
fashioned" snow storm, accompanied
by high wind, which has beeu piling
the beautiful into heavy drifts. The
stage started out the next morning but
was forced to return, not being able to
get through the drifts beyond the sum
nit.
This condition OF affairs will greatly
Inconvenience miners operating upon
the mountains, but will please the
ranchers in the valleys, by insuring
them supply of moisture for ~ xt
summers crops. Big drifts piled up
this early in the year get packed solidly
and remain longer than those made
later on. They become great storage
reservoirs to gladden. the hearts OF the
rauchers in the summer. 1t is oul
mountains which make our arid valleys
and plains such prolific producers. We
who dwell among them suffer inconveni
euce, but can bear it the more com,
placently, knowing the good results the
snow effects.
