The county commissioners passed an ordinance recently, prohlbltng all automobiles from traveling the river grade out north of town. This was done because of the fear that some accident might occur by teams be coming frightened by the automobiles. All automobiles will be obliged to go the hill road. Some trouble occurred on the grade Saturday, when Mr. Baxter of Boise was driving; his machine over the grade and met Henry Cox, who was driving a team. The team would not pass the auto and Mr. Cox Insisted that Mr. Baxter should return and drive his machine over the hill road or he, Mr. Cox, would report him to the county commissioners. It seems that Mr. Baxter did not comply with Mr. Cox's request and was reported by the latter gentleman to the com missioners. What the outcome will be had not been learned. Boise Capital News.
