Armentimtro Horses Exhibit Draws Attention and Tuition
Local intelligence notes Prof. A. A. Antrim displayed trained horse feats on Monday afternoon at Holbrook's stable with an audience of paying spectators. He also taught horse disease treatment to several gentlemen for three dollars each, issuing printed recipes. Additional items report scouting by McChive and Canby near Masons, Sawyers canyon, and Salmon river with no Indian traces, plus Patents pending at Lewiston Land Office for Wm. Taylor, Joseph Mordeane, John Oliver, George Sears, and Frances M. St Clair. Howard’s delay on Gibbon’s battlefield aids Indian avoidance. Four or five Indian prisoners are at Lapwai from Wheaton’s command, which will soon return to Lewiston except for two companies.
