No doubt Boise residents will be
somewhat surprised to learn that they
daily live in great fear of being sub
merged by waters from the Arrowrocli
dam when they read the following from
the Miner, published at Maekay. This
item appears as a result of the recent
action of the land board entering into
a contract for the construction of the
Big Lost river project. which will ne
cessitate the construction of dam
above Mackay. The item from the
Miner follows:

sustained in an opinion handed down
by the supreme court. The case was
carried to the supreme court on appeal.
1t seems from the facts as stated
the First National bank of Wal

j. H. Robbers and A. l.. Riley were
paying. They took up 224.000 shares
and when they paid for 10000 shares
the mining company notified the bank
not to deliver the stock. Robbers and
Riley directed the bank to stop pay
ment on the company's checks and the
bank sought relief in the courts. The
lower court held that the mining COM
pany had the alternative Of delivering
100000 shares to Robbers and Riley
and allow them to surrender old Gala

She believed Dick anthony behind

Reasoning, in her Wild, swift-twist-
Ing way. ignoring facts and trusting
only prejudice, she had deduced that
Dick was afraid to keep the city he
had won. She believed him now to be
waiting for reinforcements, and per-
haps TO be arguing with a swarm of
Disseminated men. The only alterna-
tive suggestion she could make was
that he meant to watch for the re-
turning guns and then slip back to
his mountain top where he would
think that he was safe.
She wrote another message and sent
six more gailopers careering through
the night, and this time each bore a
little map that showed the line of
Dicks probable retreat. The infantry
were told, instead of following the
guns, TO climb into. the footbiils-hunt
for Dicks treil--and lie on II in am

down at long range by 8 rifieman.
Within ten minutes the dead man
had been stripped and his letter was
