Jim Patterns Legacy.

jim Patten, one OF the old timers
OF Caldwell, has just received word
that he has inherited legacy from
his grandfather's estate In Pennsyl-
vania. 1t appears that his ancestor
invested some money In the stock of
the Baltimore & Ohio r. r. over 60
years ago, the stock was lost and II
Is only about two years ago that the
necessary proof was discovered that
would Justify the courts In allowing
the claim. This has now been done
and Mr. Patton will come into the
possession OF his share of the amount
of his grandfather's investment lin
said that when he received the notice
he was so excited that he could not
at first determine whether the figures
read $29,S5O or $29.S5, but after his
nerves got steadied down he found
that the latter amount was correct
jim says that II he had not had so
many relatives his share would have
been much larger.

At Boise, John y. Nugent declared
that no had spent time and money for
the election aud success OF the Dem

was spent under his direction to elect

spent under the direction OF any 9TH
or man In the State. Mr.. Nugent was
doubtlessly telling the truth II will
be remembered that during the last
campaign no was one Of the attor-
neys for the Western Federation OF
Miners Al that time II was charged
thht the Western Federation had
raised an immense amount of money,
and that good portion of Il was
being used In defeating tho Repub-

never expected such nm admission
from John Il, Nugent, hut he comes

he was good one. He was at one
time In the employ OF Uncle John
HALEY when he had the stage line
from Walla Walla to Boise. His work
was to look after the horse shooting
and repairing. or course he had a
number OF helpers under his charge
but the drivers always preferred to
have Al shoe their horses In prefer
ence TO another. for he is considered
one OF the best In the northwest.
