A fire originating in the project ing room of the opera house, used as a picture show under the management of Mr. William Switzer, did consider able damage to the interior of the building and the picture show equip ment Saturday evening. Only a few persons were in the opera house at 'the time, it being about supper time, so nothing like a stampede occurred, though those who were present made a rather hurried exit. It is understood that Mr. Switzer will be ready for business again in a few weeks. SPCIAL NOTCS. Wanted-Sone speckled peas.

Chief Justice Ailshie of the supreme court of Idaho makes the following comment in Fall Creek Sheep com pany vs. Walton on the effect of a statute gelating to trespassing hogs: "The man who drew the'amendment made swine an exception in the laws of Idaho from all other kinds of tres passing animals. So npw when that cloven-footed quadruped of ancient no toriety goes foraging beyond the pro tecting care of the swineherd he at once loses his character as a domestic animal and becomes forao naturao, subject to capture by anyono on whose promises he may at any indiscreet mo ment find himself. Of course the hog doesn't care much about his char acter; he would ordinarily just as soon be treated as a wild animal as to be treated as if he had been domesti cated for centuries. His fate is gen erally about the same either way." Conscience Fund Grows. The United States treasury con science ?ind is growing.
