If the somebody at DeLamar, who,
with the request that we please publish,
sends US an account Of somebody beat
ing his wife up terrible and then skip
ping to Jordan Valley, leaving her desti-
tute, would have attached his own name
to his letter instead Of subscribing himself
'Citizen Of Humanity" Nugget might
have used the item, even if it did assert
that this same man had "a first wife and
three grown children back in Colorado. .

The Finlander, who few weeks since
broke into and picked up %, 600 volts OF

and over into that county as far as Salmon
river, to call upon stoclxmen who Craze
their herds in this county. Everywhere
he reports the ranchers and stockmen are
prospering, and that the losses in their
bands have been very light during the
winter and that the amount of feeding
they have had to do has left their hay
stacks almost intact. He estimates that
number Of sheep he will place on the roll
this year will exceed that of last year by
not less than $4,000, counting the increase
