Globe-Republic.
The reformers in Chicago, after
having tried to run down the al
legged election frauds found that it
involved about as many Republicans
as Democrats so they gave up the
| job.
Doctors who diagnosed the throat
trouble of General Grant predicted
almost immediate death, but the
general had lived quite while and
was still alive and working hard on
his memoirs.
The Idaho Register, published at
Eagle Rock, had said that when
there was a proposal to build a
court house at Malad, the people Of
Blackfoot had thought it was too
great an expense, but now that it
was proposed to build a larger one
at Blackfoot, the people of the vii
lage thought it opportune.
A filler line or two at the bottom
of column said, "All kinds of job
work at The Herald Office" by
which they meant that they solicited
orders for printing letterheads,
envelopes, billheads and various
other things.
A foul murder is described as
having been committed at Blackfoot
by E. ]. O'Calahan, Thomas Breen
being the victim. The paper states
that O'Calahan was about to be pro-
secuted on some charge and that he
had summoned his friend Breen and
talked to him about suppressing
certain facts which Breen happened
to know. O'Calahan had also been
going from one saloon to another
during the Afternoon and doing a
lot of talking about who he was
going to kill on account Of the ex-
pected prosecution. During the
early part of the night, Breen had
taken care of the doctor, and at 1
O'Clock in the morning he sent
Breen into Shannon's saloon for a |
bottle of whiskey land while he was
returning by way Of the rear door,
shot him twice thru the window,
one bullet piercing the heart.
Excitement ran high, and C. ].
Bassett, county coroner, held an
inquest and charged O'Ca1ahan with
the murder of Breen. The coroner's
Jury consisted of B. S. Holbrook
(Sr.). C. E. Ash, H. H. Spencer,
Fred S. Stevens, P. j. Ansen, Will
