Bundy Trial + Accidental Fire + Cooling Stations

Rise and shine, Boise! Let's get this Tuesday started off right.

The Boise Daily covers day one of the Ammon Bundy trespassing trial and investigators have released the cause of the recent fire at an abandoned elementary school in Boise. A physician has been released from a county health board and Boise Police have returned a child to his home in a child abduction case.

First, today's weather: Clear throughout the day. High: 106 Low: 77.

A new week is upon us and the heat continues to rise. The Boise Daily urges everyone to take precautions and check on each other. Also, don't forget your pets and animals outside. Make sure water is plentiful and they have shade to somewhat get out of this sun. As always, remember the Boise Daily is free to all our readers and if read in an air conditioned place, extremely refreshing.

Here are the top stories in Boise today:
