Our county game warden,

Our county game warden, J.
H. Horton, last week received
word from the State Game War
den that there would be no sal
ary for our county warden for
this winter at least. Now is the
time to protect deer, sheep, etc.,
from slaughter by the Indians.
But the State Warden does not
care for that. He evidently is
endeavoring to see how much he
can spite Custer county. In the
first place it took a great deal of
begging to get deputy warden
appointed for the county, and
now, when most needed, to have
the warden cut off and the game
left without protection, is a dis
grace and uncalled for. But
we'll bet the policy" paper at
Mackay will be silent, as before,
on this matter.
The Valley Creek mine at Stan
ley has closed down for the win
ter after the most successful sea-
son in it's history. Quite a large
quantity of bullion has been
shipped and late discovery by
Mine Superintendent Williams
bids fair to make it one of the
most profitable mine in the
State. 1t is understood the COM
pany will install an electric pow
er plant on Valley creek to gen.
crate power for both mill and
mine; also improve the mill by
the addition of new machinery
to better facilitate the saving of
the values. Arrangements are
being made for the machinery
and the company proposes to ex-
pend $50, 900 in these improve
ments as early in the spring as
the roads become passable for
freight teams. w. A. Hutchin-
son, the general superintendent,
George V. Tingle, the superin-
tendent of the mill, and J. M.
Williams mine superintendent,
came to Haley last night

Three Pioneers Of Custer County
Have Been Called.
JAMES BIRNEY MORROW.

JAMES BIRNEY MORROW.
Boise Statesman. Nov. 15.)
Death has claimed another of
Idaho's pioneer in the person of
James Birney Morrow, who died
yesterday morning al $3.50 o'clock
as the result of of a stroke Of
apoplexy experienced last Wed
nesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The Elks' lodge had charge of
the funeral services at the cem-
eetery, and short service was
held at the family residence in
this city.
Mr.. Morrow leaves wife and
four children to mourn his loss ::
Bayard, who was recently mar
ried and lives at Gem, Idaho, and
is chemist for the Hecla mine;
McKeen, who is one of the
Rhodes scholars at Oxford; and
two daughters, Beryl, who is at
home, and Hazel, who has been
in California for her health.
Mr.. Morrow is a true pioneer
of the west. having lived either
in Montana or Idaho since '55.
He was born in East Aurora, N.
Y, Oct. 2, 1841, and enlisted in
the army in the spring of 81 as
private in Co. b, 72nd New York

He was taken prisoner at the
battle of the Wilderness and was
confined in Libby prison for six
weeks. Later he was transfer
red to the 64th New York Vol
unteers as lieutenant and was
again taken prisoner, this time
being confined for nearly seven
months at Libby, Salisbury, N.
C., and Danville, Va, prisons.
When released his health wasA in
so precarious a condition that he
was sent home on leave, his wal
experience lacking two months
of covering a period of years.
His parents were strong ab
olitionists and he was named af
ter James G. Birney, the frs
candidate for president on the
abclitionist ticket. The spirit
of the west called him soon after
the war and he started with {
train, driving an OK team, but
not liking their treatment by tht
leaders of the party, he and two
friends started on foot to over
take another train which hat
passed them. Joining this trair
his destination proved to b.
Montana, and it was not until l.
years later that he returned t.
the east. While in Montana h
was engaged in placer mining
but meeting with Geo. L. Shour
he and his partner, L. e. Morse
leased some stock and from tina
time On cattle raising becam
his main business.
o Mr.. Morrow was one of tn
0 early settlers in Pahsamaroi va
4 ley, where he ranged his cattl
8 and owned a farm. He was mar
= ried to Miss Vira r. Skiff in 18e
0 at Hume, N. Y. He and hi
bride came at once to Challi:
where they lived for 9 years an
then moved to their Pahsamart
ranch where they lived for hin
y years longer, coming to Boise i
y 1893. Mr.. Morrow has been
one fourth owner in the Idanh
. hotel property since it was o
% ganized and has taken an actiy

Mr.. DOOLEY IN
POLICE COURT

Mr.. Dooley and Mrs. Tracey were
at police court this morning with
grievances against each other and, as
a result, Mr.. Dooley was locked up In
default of 5000 bail on charge of
assault and battery.
Mrs. Bridget Tracey, who came to
this city from Ireland thirty-seven
years ago, appeared before Recorder
Pickersgill yesterday and swore out
a warrant for the arrest of Thomas
5ooleys sforty-eight years old, of 681
Charles street, on charge of assault
and battery. City Marshal Weit~rs
served the warrant.
The complainant said that Dooley
had annoyed her for the past twenty
years and he had refused to leave her
alley a few days ago. She said tnat
she owned the alley alongside of her
house and ordered Dooley to go away.
AS he would not do SO, she tried to
push him away and Dooley, she as
serted, pushed her back and bruised
her.
Dooley denied the charges. He adj
mitted that he had been sitting In
the alley, but said he had refused to
leave because she did not own 1t and
because he thought he had right
to remain there. He declared that
he had not hurt the woman. Dooley
seemed to think the case a joke and
smiled during the hearing until the
recorder admonished him.

FUNERAL OF
Mr.. WATSON
Will Be Held Monday After
noon--Survived by z Chill
dren, 8 Grandchildren.
HIS BUSINESS CAREER

Funeral services for Samuel ].
Watson, who died at his home, 2S4
High street, yesterday afternoon,
will be held from the house at 3:30
o'clock Monday afternoon. Rev.
James H. Northrup, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, will off1c-
late. The body will be placed in the
family vault in the Alpine cemetery
Mr.. Watson was in the fifty-ninth
year of his age, having been born in
October, 1850, in the family home
stead at Jefferson and Rector streets,
now occupied by Edward r. Pierce
and family. He was a son OF William
B. Watson, who came to this city
from England and married Miss Cor
nelia Compton, of Metuchen. His
early schooling was obtained in this
city, but later he attended a boarding
school at Essex, Conn.
In 1871 Mr.. Watson former part
nership with his brother-in-law, Ed
ward r. Pierce, and started dry
goods store at SO Smith street. The
business prospered and less than a
year afterward Mr. Watson took Miss
Ella l.. Naylor, of Brooklyn, as his
bride. After living with his parents
a short time Mr.. Watson and his wife
started housekeeping over the firms
store, where they lived for thirteen
years. Mr.. Watson then erected a
residence at .284 High street, where
he lived with his family until his
death
The firm of Pierce & Watson, dry
goods merchants, was very successful
but the proprietors sold only gentle
mems furnishings and did an insur-
ahce business on the side. About
1885 or 1885 the firm decided to
drop the furnishing business and de-
vote their time to real estate and in
surance. The firm continued to pros
per as real estate and insurance
brokers, and last March merged with
Boynton Brothers, forming the firm
of Boynton Brothers & Company
with Offices at 81 Smith street. When
this company was formed Mr.. Watson
retired, as his health was not of the
best. Two weeks ago he was taken
seriously Ill and the end came yester-
day from a complication Of com
plants.
He is survived by a widow, two
daughters, the Misses Cornelia and
Elizabeth Watson, of this city, and
three grandchildren, Helen, Emily
and Allen Bliss, of Brooklyn.

CALLAHAN MUST Sc RYE
HIS Term IN PRISON

Sea Girt, July 31:-The Board of
Pardons yesterday refused to interfere
in the case of James Callahan, of New
Brunswick, sentenced to two years in
state prison for keeping a disorderly
house.
This action destroys Callahan s last
hope of keeping out of state prison. He
was convicted in 1907 of keeping a dis
orderly house on Burnet street, and
Judge Theodore B. Booraem sentenced
him to two years in state prison and
to pay fine of $500. He had been tried
before on similar charge, and acquit-
tied.
The case was appealed to the supreme
court and court of errors and appeals,
both of which declared against Gala
han. About a month ago one of his
lbondsmen surrendered him and he has
since been in the county Jail. Appli-
cations for new trial and reduction
of sentence were refused by Judge Lyon
and as last resort Robert Adrain coun-
sci for the prisoner, appealed to the
Board of Pardons

DOG CATCHER
TO Be NAMED

At a committee session of the
Board of Aldermen last night 1t was
decided to appoint Louis Conoly as
dog catcher for August and Septem-
Der. He will receive fifty cents for
each dog he collects. Conoly and
Philip Ernst, the poundkeeper, were
present at the session and talked
with the aldermen. ConoIy was the
dog catcher last year.
One of the acts of the council at
their regular meeting Monday night
will be the appointing of the dog
catcher, SO that he may start work
Immediately.
As the majority of the property
owners on High street, between
Smith street and the park. are said
to want the street paved with asphalt
block and are willing to pay the price
bid by the Hastings Paving Company
the aldermen will probably award the
contract Monday night.
