in Challis. The exercises were
very appropriate, and the build

flowers.
Friends are anxious to find the
whereabouts of the relatives of

killed at Houston, Idaho, May

his relatives live at Winnipeg,
Manitoba, or Calgary. Winnipeg

A lawyer in a courtroom may
call man liar, scoundrel, vii
liam, or a thief, and no one makes
complaint when court adiourns.
If newspaper prints such re-
flections on a mans character
there is a libel suit on hand. This
is owing to the fact that the
people believe what an editor
says; what the lawyer says cuts
no figure.
A considerable amount of hay,
grain, vegetables, ETC., are being
