LOCAL NEWS NOTES.
(partial)

The boys of the Golding Hop ranch have a pet eagie that is beginning to fly, 
and he sometimes follows them nearly to town.  Don’t shoot the bird if you find 
him loitering along the road.  He is not a chicken thief.  

John S. Thurston, of Payette, Idaho, sends to this office a copy of the PAYETTE 
INDEPENDENT, containing an account of a big cucumber and a mammouth 
watermelon.  The cucumber weighs 17 pounds and was grown in 45 days.  The 
watermelon weighs 136 pounds.  Mr. Thurston evidently has a grudge against this 
office and wants to show us how happy he is in his prosperity, feasting on the 
fat of the land, while the drouth here has not left us a decent cucumber.  That 
is a nice country out in Idaho.  The soil is very prolific and it was out there 
that Jack the Giant Killer raised his famous hill of beans.  If the wind don’t 
blow your hair off or the flying sand put out your eyes you can have a right 
good time in Idaho.—Central City, (Neb.) Democrat.  

Bert Gilmore, son of the proprietor of the Gilmore House, met with an accident 
Monday afternoon that resulted in a broken leg.  He was assisting Billy Barrett 
in tearing down a chimney on the Zimmerman & Adam building, which is now being 
remodeled for James Lauer’s new store.  It seems that the ladder gave way, and 
Bert went tumbling to the ground, with bricks, boards and Barrett on top of 
him.  His left leg was broken just above the ankle and one of his fingers was 
badly mashed.  He was carried home where Dr. Stephenson set the broken limb and 
dressed the finger, and soon had the boy resting as comfortable as could have 
been expected under the circumstances.  Bert is a popular little fellow with 
all the boys and girls and they will be very glad to see him out again.  
Barrett was not hurt to speak of by the fall.
