lodge officers, and Mrs. August Crete,
who is grand representative, will also at
tend They will leave tomorrow morning
and it is a sure thing that they will have
jolly good time.
disastrous landslide occurred near
the town of Roosevelt, the Thunder
Mountain mining camp, which has
damned the canyon to such an extent
that the town is inundated by the water
and mud, causing loss Of the entire
town. A well equipped rich placer claim
has been covered to a depth Of more than
hundred feet by the soil, rocks, trees
and other debris from the steep mountain
side. The town is being rebuilt on bet
ter locality farther up the creek.
Sheriff Krieg returned from his trip to
Bruneau after Clayton Banks, the man
who has been causing so much trouble in
Haley and other localities. Banks was
shot in the right shoulder while resisting
arrest and though no bones were broken
he has quite serious wound. He made
quite a sensational get away from the
Grand hotel at Nampa, but was shortly
recaptured and as he was wanted in
Blaine county on a more serious charge
than in Owyhee, Mr.. Krieg turned him
over to the officers of that county, as they
have clear case against the man.
John Shaw of Breckenridge, Neb., was
in the city today Mr. Shaw was form
erly engaged in mining in Owyhee county
and is remembered by many of the old
time Owyhee citizens. He is guest Of
Mr. Brunzell OF the Grand hotel, with
whom he was formerly associated in min
ing interests. .-Nampa Leader-Herald.
Mr.. Shaw has been in Silver during the
past week looking over his mining inter-
ests in this place and greeting his many
old friends. He has gone to Mountain
home for few days, but we understand
that he will return to Silver City for the
summer
Talk about luck Just ask Thomas
Nelson, Secretary Treasurer of the Banner
Mining & Milling Co., how it feels to be
one of the lucky ones. Here he has had
the good fortune to become heavy stock
holder in one of the most promising
mines in the west, to be blessed with a
lovely wife, and now draws lucky num-
Der in the Dietrich land opening. He
was called up yesterday morning on the
phone and offered $1,000 for his selection
of land, but learning that said land was
adjoining the townsite, he concluded to
turn the offer down as he thought dame
fortune would continue to smile upon
him. There may be something after all
in having high forehead.
On last Sunday services were, held at
the school house by Rev. S. E. Yaggy,
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church
of DeLamar, IDAHO Rev. Yaggy was
appointed pastor Of this locality on May
1st, 1909, being transferred from Iowa.
He was educated at Cornell college, Mt.
Vernon, Iowa, and is graduate of the
Theological Seminary of Madison, N. j.,
ost-graduate student in philosophy
and sociology at Columbia University
New York city. Rev. Yaggy gave us q
s very interesting discourse, and is a broad
y minded minister, who does not believe il
S intolerance, recognizing the right o
Il others to a difference in belief on all sub
:. jects. This is a commendable, though
II rather unusual, trait in minister of thu
n gospel, and speaks well for his success il
l. the work. Services will again be helC
= here by Rev. Yaggy on the Goth inst.
and he should be greeted by a larg
Is audience.
