ran across the bridge and up the street
until the wagon collided with and knock
ed corner off Wilkins residence, then
ran down through the lower town until
I it got tangled up and one horse fell down
while going up grade, and man caught
and quieted them. But little harm was
done, but some narrow escapes were
made
Mrs John p Nugent, of Boise, and
her son, Ainslie, left last week to spend
the summer with her sister, Mrs. DR..
Perrault, in San Francisco. They were
there to enjoy the festivities attending
the arrival of the big war fleet. Mr.. Nu-
gent is left alone to continue his battle
against the Dubois anti-Mormon faction,
seeking to control or bust the democratic
party in Idaho, but with the help of
Perky, Paine, Flenner and others, his
chances for success are more than good.
William A. Austeon, the oldest and one
of the best working miners in the camp,
who for several years has put in the win
ters at the Trade Dollar mines and his
summers developing some promising cop
per properties which he owns over the
line in Nevada, about 20 miles from
Three Creek, Idaho, took his departure
from here Wednesday, for the latter
camp. He has his properties now opened
so they show extensive and valuable de-
posits OF the red metal, but the trouble is,
they are so remote from the lines of travel
that it is difficult to get mining men suf-
ficiently interested in them to go so far
out Of the way to see them. However,
the construction Of the proposed railway
from Gooding to Wells, Nevada, will
bring a line within 80 miles OF them, and
make this new mining district in the Elk
mountains sought after.
Mrs John slattery received telegram
last week, Wednesday, from her sister,
Mrs. Paguin, of Goldfeld, New, sum
moning her to the bedside of their father,
James Doherty, very ill at Mrs. Paguin'
home in that camp. She started for there
the following morning, and since arriving
has written her husband letter stating
she had found her father somewhat bet
ter but looking awfully bad, and she had
very little hopes of ever seeing him up
again. He has heart trouble, and his
physician says be is liable to drop off any
minute. Daddy Doherty, as he was
familiarly called by his friends, was
well known parsonage in DeLamar, where
he resided for good many years, with
his wife, since deceased, one son and two
daughters, since married-one Aggie,
now Mrs, Paguin, and one Mrs. Slattery
The old gentleman is now in his 64th
year.
Commissioner Brunzell returned yes
terday, from weeks inspection of the
public roads in the western and north
western portions of the county. He went
4 fror, ba,o A., U,,.o,,4 a.oo1 l ~ 41
line near Jordan Valley; thence to Dairy
and South Mountain; thence via Flint
and Cottonwood to DeLamar; thence to
Homedale via Cow creek, Rockville and
Succor creek; thence back, through Poi
son creek precinct, Enterprise and Will
son, to Murphy. He says he found the
roads generally in better condition, at
this season of the year, owing to the lack
of rain. A large amount of wool is being
hauled to the railroad from this portion
/ of the county and from Jordan Valley,
for storage. The fruit crop on Succor
creek and about Homedale and along the
river, he thinks, has been considerably
injured by recent frosts.

nal of April "a, the following, relating

old gentleman who few years ago was,
with his family, resident of this place.
