"Plug" Has Another Spasm.

Out of the 30 Chinese pheasant eggs
received 10y DIR. Pogue, president OF the
Ontario Pheasant club, l6 little ones
appeared. Dan Kerfoot had the hand
ling of the eggs and placed them under
one of his trusted dominicks. The
Matching did not fl ish his work, as he
found that, unlike the domestic chick
en-, the little chicks refused 20 eat at the
bidding of the old dominick. Dan told
Or. Pogue about the state of affairs, and
he told our marshal to get an old alarm
clock, wind it full tilt and place IT in the
box with the tiny pheasants. This
saved the lives OF the little chicks, as
they Immediately fioeked around the
clock and, listening to the tick, tick,
tick, began to scratch and eat.
This is DIR. Pogue's story on Dan, and
the doctor says his pheasant book reads
that an old hen goes cluck, cluek, and a
pheasant hen tick, tick. OF course ev-
erybody knows the difference now-af-
ter the doctors explanation Ontario

PAYETTE STILL
HAS HOPES
II Oil Is Discovered Will Give
City a Population OF 10000.

PAYETTE, July l4.-It has already
been demonstrated that this city is in
gas belt and it seems more than prob
able that oil in abundance will be found
in .he we'll that is being drilled here,
when greater depth has been attained.
Work upon the Payette we'll, which is
down 2l3O feet, has been suspended for
a time, but it is understood it will be re-
sumed again at an early date and will he
prosecuted vigorously until depth OF
1000 feet has been secured unless the oil
reservoir should be found sooner.
The pressure of gas is very strong at
all times, coming up through a column
of water over 1000 feet in height.
While at work, the powerful pumps
which forced constant stream OF water
down through the four-inch casing to
the bottom OF the well to bring up the
6rillings also carried enough oil to
cover the water with a black scum.
Both the oil and gas are from the sedi-
mentary formation and can only be con-
sidered as seepages from the greater
depth in the older formation. That
both are so plentiful makes more certain
that the real source cannot be very lar
away.
The principal cause of delay in the
work az this time is the need OF supplies
that must be sent from Pittsburg, Pa.
fan oil gusher is struck as is conf
IDENTIFY expected, it will make Payette a
eity OF 2O, 900 people Within the next two
wears and would be OF great financial
advantage to all southern Idaho.
No attempt has yet been made to uti'
lize the gas, but the company has Soo'
feet OF two-inch pipe on hand which vii
he used to pipe the gas through the
town.

Kicked from Train. Dead.

Last Saturday several PaYette people
who took No. to Boise report that at
Ontario just as the train was leaving the
station the brakeman attempted to put
a Young man off the train who was at
tempting to beat his way. The young
tramp was struck over the head with a
lantern and then showed from the train
which was just moving out OF the sta
ton. He fell under the wheels and had
one leg crushed. The train was stopped
ami the crew went back and picked the
unfortunate young man up and carried
him TO the station platform where he
was left to the mercies of whoever would
look after him. 1t developed later that
the Young man was the son of well to-do
people OF Seattle and mis- brother came
Sunday to take care of him and Oh Mon
day of this week information was wired
to Glenn's Ferry, the end of the division,
and the brakeman was arrested. Par
ties from payette. who were on the
traih, state that the crew treated the in
jured man in a very heartless manner,
as when che train pulled out he was ly-
ing on the depot pavement face down
ward with but one or two Ontario peo-
pie on the platform and no one with
enough nerve to go near and assist him
A great many think the crew should
have at least held the train long enough
to have summoned physician.
Monday forenoon the young man diec
from his injuries and ON the arrival o
his brother it was learned that his name
was Arthur Jacobsen and that he wal
an engineer by trade and was at th'
time trying to make his way to Chicago
where position awaited him. The re
mains were taken by the brother bach
