A shooting affray occurred at Sparta, on Tuesday last, which resulted in the instant death of James T. Maloney, the hotel keeper of that place. The shooting wasdono by Jacob T.

The facts as near as wo can get at them are as follows: Moloney Suid his wife, accompanied by an adopted daughter, about 10 years of age, by name Miss Laura Ejlwards, came from the Malheur country to Sparta about a year ago and opened a boarding house. The wholo family were in the habit of indulging in peri odical rows, which were kept up to such an c;:tcnt that tho neighbors cpascd to pay any attention. On Tues day morning, however, Maloney who was in tho house with his wife and the girl, started in to give them both a beating, which raised such a distur bance that several men who were up the street started for the house to see what was uoing on. Knapp, Mrs. Maloney .s brother, running consider ably ahead and entering the house first, before tho others git thorc thev they heard the report pf a revolver, and Knapp emerged from the home with a revolver in his hand, and shut tho door, instantly the door was opened by Maloney, who staggered out and exclaiming "Boys I'm killed," fell over into the arms of Win, lUhs, and was carried back into the house where lie expired in about ten minutes, without sneaking again, Knapp gave himself up to tho authorities and was taken before Justice ruel, anu waiving ex amination was lield to await the ac tion-, of the grand jury.

It is a matter of surprise tp me that the Scqut is not taken by every man in the county. It is acknowledged by all to be the best paper.

I hardly over get my cony of the Scqut half read, be fore a dozen or more are wanting to borrow it.

Whctliorco.il will bo gen- erallv used hero or not is hard to say. Wo think not, unless it. can bo deliv ered at n mudi lower cost than it now is.

Doisc City, Idnho Oct. LS. 1SS5 KniToit Scout: Saturday last (.Oct. 21.) witnessed the close of an Interesting week of racing at the Idaho Agricultural Park Association's ground at this place. Groat interest was manifested and the owners of livers had po lai-k of opportunity to oxhiblt the metal of their thoroughbreds. It would probably b'o n matter of interest to some if I should gvc a detailed account of each (layt ra cing; but the limits of this letter will ad mit of only saying in hriof, that in the management, general satisfaction was glv en, and. that all went away assured that the Idaho Park Association will soo the fait thing done at (heir meetings, at nil hazards. Tho city is full to ovcsflowing with all kinds, cl.-uses, and conditions of people; the sporting fraternity being largely repre scntcd, and the salooii3 and billiard halls show a heterogeneous mass of excited hu man beings, each intent on turning aii, hpnest.mil in many cases, a dishonest pen ny. It is rumored that there is a gang hepc engaged in "shoving the queer." Their operations arc confined to counter feit fj and ?i0 greenbacks. So far no ar rests have been made and as all pf our bus incss men have been warned to keep r brijht lookout, it will he n diillcult matter foqihe rascals to "work" oil" much of the stall here. Iloho City i-ccins to bo the objective point of a number of railroad systems. The 1) and It. G. ralroad intends extending their line to the I'atitic ocean via Doisc City as an objective inland point, also tho North western railroad from Wyoming, with tlje same purpose in view. Krom Yaquina Ilay, tho Oregpn Pacific is said to bo look ing to this plaC,e as an important point, and it is very evident that one, and possibly nil of these roads will center here in tho near future, , "A youth to fortune and to fame un known" attempted a shark trick in larceny the other day. lie entered a store and asked tp be shown a pair of pants.

The United States grand jury in session il Illnckfoot, last week, found twenty-nine indictments for unlawful cohabitation. Chief Justice Hays in discharging thoju rv, remarked that "if the trial jury did their duty as well, the'laws o'f our country will bo rigidly observed." This seems to pprtend as lively a timo for tho polyga mists in Idaho, as Judge Zano is giving them in Utah at tho present time. Ail right minded citizens aro rejoicing that the 'twin relic of barbarism" will bo destroyed, root and branch, under the administration of 6ur new judiciary, and the feeling against Mornionism is so fierce 'and bitter that nothing short of the utter annihilation of the "cjiurch" that "plucks tho rose from the brow of modesty and replaces it with a blister," will satisfy our people.
