The History of Idaho, by John Haley,
recently published by the Syms- York
company, at Boise, will undoubtedly meet
with a large demand, as it is true and
accurate account of the history of this
state by one who has passed through the
trying period of the early settlement of
the northwest territory. The writer has
made his home in Idaho since its organiz-
alton as a territory, and writes from per-
sonal knowledge of events that occurred
during the first settlement of this country
up to the present time.
A too hasty use of his gun as an officer
is causing the former chief of police of
Nampa much regret and trouble Flem-
ming shot man by the name of Moore
while making his arrest and as Moore
has since died from the effects of the
shooting, Flemming was arrested for
murder and put under bonds for trial.
As this man Flemming has a reputation
for being "gun man." having killed
man at Oreana some time ago, it is re-
ported, in manner that did not meet
the approval of the community, It's liable
to go pretty hard with him. This is one
of the instances where a more conserva-
tive force should have been used.
