him from being scalded. Mrs. Emma
Renner, a trained nurse from Cincin-
natl, passenger, pressed a bottle
or whisky to McKittrick's lips and
told him to drink. The steam in

Market Day at Caldwell Big Sue

Market Day at Caldwell Big Sue
Regular monthly market day sales
held at Caldwell on Monday, April
6, was a grand success, $1,000 worth
of stock and articles were sold at
public auction. Altho three auction
GERS were employed they could not
dispose of all the stuff in one day at
the sale, which was continued until
the next afternoon, when a large
amount of stuff was disposed of. AL
tho the weather was very disagree
able on Monday, it is believed that
at least 1000 people were in atten-
dance.
Caldwell was the first town in this
part of the state to adopt the month
ly market day but now nearly every
town in Southern Idaho has it's
monthly sales day. Flattering re-
ports are coming from all the towns
that have tried the scheme and they
sally 1t is great success. 1t gives the
farmers chance to get together to
buy and sell and as the stores give
special bargains on that day it is of
great benefit to the farmers as well
as to the business men. What is the
matter of Star giving this scheme
trial? Let US get together and talk
it over.-Star Observer.

Rounding Up Chicken Thieves.

All the Fall farmers in the neighborbood
OF Swedesboro have suffered much loss
from chicken thieves and so frequent have
been these depredations that an effort was
on Monday made to locate the thieves
Tracks were followed from recent rob-
berry to the home Of a colored man, and
Constable Black, with a warrant made a
search. In an unused fire place he found
barrel of feathers, heads and legs, the lat
ter covered with fresh blood, and in an out
house, that was we'll nailed up, and which
he was warned mot to open because big
bull dog was in there he found about so
fine fowls, and in the cellar OF the same
house were stores OF provisions in quantities

honorably obtained.
The law arm OF the county should use
all its power to bring characters Of this
class to justice, because TO be robbed Of a
seasons labor by the law, indolent and
vicious taxes the good in humanity to the
limit. Loss OF property, even to the last
cent, through visitations of Providence. is
less tax on human mind than the des-
polling of the poultry houses of thrifty
and industrious farmers.
