Tragic incidents and political turmoil flood Idaho news
A jumble of wrecked lives and bold political maneuvers fills the Boise and Weiser pages. Reports include a suicide attempt by Albert Clark, a drowning of Edig Uiwndler, and a death from a horse kick near Pocatello, alongside Governor McConnell reshaping county attorney appointments and a tense note from W Avers regarding the expected governor’s actions. Also covered are mining ventures, court rooms, and community events across Idaho, with local gossip, marriages, theft accusations, and a looming masquerade social.

A Dawson Day dinner honors Mrs Day’s 80th birthday with four generations present. A New Year keeps a calendar of advertisements, curiosities, and a quarterly publication from Pittsburgh.
