Fatal End of a Ornnken Frolic
Hailey, Idaho,- March 17 At 4 o'clock
this morn inc. in the bar -room of tbe
Star brewery, this city, Lei Hallstrom
a Finlander, aged 30 years, 'was shot and
instantly killed bv Jobn Hendell, tbe
proprietor of tbe brewery. Hallstrom
aud other Finns went to tbe brewery at
midnight and imbibed freely of beer
without molestation until 3 o'clock, when
Hendell decided to close the bouse ana
ordered his patrons out. This was dis
regarded by tbe now well intoxicated
men, who desired to continue the drnoken
frolic till dayiigbt. This led to a per
sonal encounter between Hendell and
Hallstrom. The latter being much tbe
stronger man, Hendell broke away and
ran ior a pistol. At the same time Louis
Schrotder, an attache ot tbe brewery, also
appeared on tbe scene with a gun and
both be and Hendell Urea n snot each
and instantly killed Hallstrcm. Tbe
sheriff was on band promptly and lodged
both Hendell and Scbroeder in jail. At
tbe coroner's inquest held todav before
Justice Ervio Johnson, the iury returned
the yerdict that Hallstrom met bis death
with a bullet from a pistol in John Hen
dell's hand. Hendell does not appear to
realize tbe gravity of tbe situation. He
has a violent temper. He is thought by
some to be insane. Hallstrom came to
.Afcierica ' eleven years ago. He bus
worked in tbe mines of Park City, Utah,
where bis brother Sam now resides. He
was naturally inclined to be ugly wben
drunk:.
The Sliver Question.'
New York, March 17 Ex United
States Treasurer Huston, speaking of the
currency question, said be thought Cleve
land was going to have a hot time trying
to get congress to legislate to suit bim
in an etdeavor to havo the Sherman sil
ver purchase act repealed. He said:
1 believe the majority In co
tot fe eilvcr, and if the pres.d
not give the members what the
"I believe the majority in congress is
ent does
give the members what they desire
in the way of patronage I predict a reg
ular war on bim. It rather looks like
war now, and wben the fur begins to fly
the country will have infinite amusement
I do not think a single gold bond should
be issued. We should stop the coinage
of silver, tor that is the only way toeolve
the financial problem.
It is said you advocate ex- Jfresident
Harrison lor tbe presidency in 1896?"
think he would be a logical candi
date. When tbe people have bad time
to consider bis administration he will be
a more popular man than now. Tbe re
sult may be bis nomination again in
1896."
' Italian Anarchists.
Rome, March 17. A bomb was ex
ploded io tbe Aocini Mattel palace, tbe
official residence of United Slates Minis
ter Porter earl; tbis morning. Fortu
natelv nobody was burt and bat little
damage was done to tbe building
No
cause is known for tbe deed.
Tbe building was occupied by two
other families besides that ot United
States Minister Fprter.. As a similar
uutraere was perpetrated in the same
buildmp; id loUa, and as roiur Dad only
engaged the building for occupation in
tbe cloeiDK days ot that year, it is be
lieved tbe fact of tbe place being inhabi
ted by an American minister bad noth
irg to do witb the outrage, but thai tbe
motive for causing the explosion was to
gratify a desire lor vengeance upon tbe
proprietor of the place, irrespective or
whether tbe "residents were iniired or
cot. This was tbe motive sospected at
tbe time of tbe first explosion, and there
is no reason to take a different view.
Complaint Against Tnrctfnh Officials.
Boston, March 17 Owing to alleged
outrages by Turkish omciils upon tbe
rights of American citizens in Turkey,
Rev. Dr. Judson Smith, jr , foreign ecre
tary ot the American board ; Rev. C. C.

key, and Kev. Ur. Jidwin (J Webh, one

ican board, bave gone to Washington to
lay tbe facts before tbe government
There are recent complaints that Turkish
officials bave interfered witb tbe mails of
tbe missionaries, and even witb tbe tele-
prams of United States government offi
cials. Tbe statement is made that a
telegram from tbe United States consul
at Sivas baa been suppressed. It is also
said Minister Thompson reports he sent
telegrams to the United States govern
ment, and bas not received any reply,
aud toncluded that those dispatches bave
also been stopped by tbe Turkish gov
ernment. i . .
Indignant Canadians.
Ottawa, March 17 It is 'probable
that if the indignation in official circles
here does not subside Sir Cbarles Tapper
will be recalled as high commissioner in
London. Tbe government is angry over
bis action in regard to tbe French treaty.
draft of which is now before tbe Cana
dian parliament, which Sir Cbarles nego
tiated. He says one tbin and tbe mem
bers of tbe government say another in re
spect to . tbe negotiations prior to the
signing of the treaty. The matter was
ventilated in parliament last nigbt, and
tbe records were produced. Mr. Foster,
who leads the commons, adheres to what
be bas already said in regard to the ne
gotiations, tbe cabled interview with tbe
bigb commissioner to tbe contrary not
withstanding.
Will Sot Heed tbe Protest.
Washington, March 17 Tbe state
ment in tbe New York papers that a pro
test, numerously signed oy prominent

be sent to Secretary of State Gr-sbam,
was shown to tbe secretary tbis afternoon.
He said be bad not received tbe protest.
and, in reply to a question as to whether
it would avail anything, said be thought
not. He bad never beard of the with
drawal of a treaty by either party to it
after it bad been ratified and pending the
exchange of ratifications. Tbis is tbe
position tbe Russian extradition treaty
now occupies. It bas been ratified by
the senate of tbe United States, and the
exchange of certificates of ratification is
expected to take piace in St. Petersburg
within a very snort lime.

Is There a Dealt '
New York, March 18 Tbe Wall
Street Journal say n: "We understand tbe
change of plan in connection with tbe
Northern Pacific's debt is full of signifi
cance, and means also a change, sooner
or later, in the management of tbe com
pany. Tbe verdict seems to be that Yil
lard must go. Not only public sentiment
bag made tbis course very clear, bnt tbe
people wbo propose to lift the company
out of its present difficulties from its
floating debt made tbis condition abso
lute before tbey will proceed any far
ther in the matter. Inasmuch as tbe fu
tore good ot tbe Northern Pacificls debt
demands immediate action on the ques
tion of tbe floating debt, it is thought
Yillard will sacrifice personal pride in
the matter for the good of tbe company."

cold both in Europe and American. Dur
ing the early part of February the uolden
Horn ol Constantinople was irozeo over tor
tbe first time since 1854, a period of 39
years. At tbe same time the continent ot
North America, . excepting a narrow strip
along the Pacific coast, was frozen solid as
far south as tbe Unit of Mexico, and the
ice in the Potomac river at Washington was
two feet thick.
It is now unlawful for any person with or
without malice to kindle any fare in any

crops, cord wood or timber, tbe party who
started the fire will be aubjeot to pay a fine.
This law prevents hunters and fishermen
Irom kindling fire in the forest and mount

the law is now in effect. r :
The game law went into force on March

Daring the closing hour of the legisla
ture of California, a bill was rushed through,
submitting the question of changing the
capital from Sacramento to San Jose to the
electors of the state at the next general
election. It la alleged that this was done
in revenge for a cartoon published in the
Sacramento Bee, in which the legislators
were repreanted at a midnight orgie witb a
bountiful supply ot wine and women. ' Yery
many of tbe merchants holding the See re
sponsible for tbe action of the solona, bave
withdrawn tbeir patronage from the paper.
Hon. O. P. Hubbard, the agent of the
government, finished the work of examina
tion of claims for Indian depredations, and
left on the Regulator this morning. He has
worked very faithfully, and bas frequently
given his time nntil midnight to hear testi
mony. On bis return he will make a tiip
to Canyon City, here some witnesses re
side aud where some claims will be pre
sented. Mr. Hubbard spoe very favora
bly of the justness of tbe demands made by
the pioneers in this vicinity, and feels quite
positive they will be paid in fnll in about a
year. Some of these go back forty years,
and many of the witnesses are dead.
The Nez Perees are willing to dispose of

The justice court was very quiet to day,
and tbe docket had nothing of importance
on it. Daring our reporter's visit the judi
cial ear was attentively listening to a very
vivid description of the proper manner of
catching fish in a shallow stream. The nar
rator recommended heiding them. He said
a wing dam should be built across the creek,
and then the trout should be driven down
into a gunny sack fixed at the outlet. By
this means he stated be had caught bushels
of tbe finny tribe. 1'his canal and lock
method of fronting would operate well in
Chenoweth or Mill creeks; but it would be
useless to attempt to cath salmon in such
a manner. Oar reporter demurred to tbe
first part of the pleading, bat sustained the
latter part, and so did the court.

Lewiston Teller: The Annie Faxon
missed a trip last week on account of an
accident which occurred at Goose Island,
about ten miles this side of Riparia. Tbe
boat bad tied up there for the night, and on
clearing away early tbe next morning, just
before day, the boat caught and grounded
heavily. In trying to yn'l off, the rope
broke and the steamer sarnog full against
the current. The wheel caught in the rocks
and smashed out five paddles, and the
shock bent the eccentric rods on one side
and tbe boat was helpless. There was
nothing to do but to send men to Riparia a
foot. Harry Bauguman and Sage Akin ran
the entire ten miles to Riparia, in order to
catch the north-bound train They took
that to Colfax, then got a back and drove to
Almota, and got the Almota from winter
quarters, steamed np and went down and
took the Faxon in tow back to Riparia,
where she was repaired in the shops, and re
turned Saturday on her usual schedule time.

Aa exchange says: Would it not be well
for some of our farmers ta tarn their atten
tion to raising hogs and converting them
into smoked meat. Hams are selling for 18
aud 19 cents a pound and pork is selling
for 7i to 9 cents a pound. In Illinois peo
ple thought they were doing well wben they
could sell their core-fed pork for $2 50 to
$3.75 a hundred pounds. Here people
growl when tbey oared meat, haaon and
hams, are worth 1 only 12 to 14 cents a
pound. At the last named prices oar farm
ers got tired raising and tatting hogs and
quit the business, to such an extent that
very few bogs are raised at the present
time. Hogs can be simmered on alfafa,
that is stock hogs, and they can be kept
growing the summer through without any
other food.

tbe state, and of coarse be keeps well posted
on matters of interest to the sheep industry.
When asked by a reporter of the Review
what the outlook for wool was this year, be
said it was better than last season, owing to
the fact that the large stocks on band at
this time last year haye been worked up, aa
well as tbe greater portion of tbe clip of
1892. Tbe recent cold weather in tbe east.
be says, has caused a large demand for
woolens; benoe the manufactured goods
have been pretty well disposed of. For
these reasons be anticipates prices will be m
advance of what they were last year. He
says the aheep belonging to tbe B. 8. & L.
JBo. will be heavy and of good quality,
whioh is true of tbe majority of tbe sheep in
the county.
