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. Ivnapp,
his brother-in-law. 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. He arrived in
this, city Thursday morning in charge
of Mr, Ellis, and is now in jail. He is
about 27 years of age, and was always
considered a quiet and peacable man.

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,

The palyamists aro having as hard a
timo in thii territory as ill Utah. 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.

Tlio nuxillnry publisher;) of tho

greatest work of Jules Verne, at an

pect a raro treat. This wonderful
piece of literature will not bn out in
bqok form till Fomctiiiic during the
winter. It is' historical in ehanlctcr,
and is founded on incidents connected
with the Hungarian troubles in Aus
tria. It well illustrates I lie gradual,
but suro ndvanco of tho principles of
liberty, oven in tho Old world. Al
though at times, tho aspirations of
tho masses may be temporarily checked
by tho power pf moijcy, and influence
in the hands of tho ruling ui istocrnpy,
who have so long used their advan
tage to keep down that sciitipicnt,
right iiiiis in the CI1(I triumph. The
lesson of tho story is in harmony wjth
this spirit, which is rapjdly gniiing
ground, in both tho Old nnd Now
world. As n novel it is realistic and
thrilling, surpassing any previously
produced by tliH great writer, whoso
realm Is tlio universe, and whose pop
ularity is not excelled by npy living
novelist, Tho story will bo profusely
illustrated with twenty-six doublc-
