Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1901-08-02

Warren Potter this week brought his
stock back from Kamiah to this place
and will in all likelihood engage in the
livery business here again in the near
future. He says Kamiah is no place for
a livery stable, as man could not make
a living at that business there.
Last Saturday evening the Odd Eel
lows and Rehekahs gave surprise
farewell party in honor of Geo. S.
Bates. Mr.. Bates was always one of
the leading members of the lodge and
this gathering plainly evidences the re-
spect and esteem in which he was held.
Turn out, every body, and see the big
ball game between Eezperce and
Grangeville which will be played on
our grounds Sunday. Give the visitors
the best you have. Show them that
Cottonwood knows how to appreciate
honors.
Later.-The game at Cottonwood has
been called off and viii take place at
Grangeville.
1t would be great sight for an east
ern tenderioot to live in Cottonwood
these days and witness the daily exhi-
bitions of riding unbroken horses. To
see those boys (Hersch Wright, Joe
Jones and "Pars" Crooks) ride is sight
at which even a good many westerners
would be surprised. The boys have
oyer hundred broncos to break and
expect to be through working in less
than two weeks, when the horses Will
be sold to the cavalry OF America and
Great Britain.
A young man named Baxter was hc-
cidentally shot and fatally wounded on
Hornet creek near Council last week.
He was carrying a pistol in his shirt
pocket and stopped dow n to get drink
OF water, when the pistol fell out OF his
pocket, the hammer striking on the
edge OF the pail and the pistol was dis
charged, the ball striking the unfortu-
nate man just below the heart, passing
through the body. Young Baxter
leaves mother and brother who reside
at Cottonwood. STANDARD. 8
Geo. S. Bates left yesterday morning
for Grangeville but his ultimate desti-
nation is California. He will stop on
visits ct way points and does not know
just when he will see his old home.
Everybody is sorry to see "Buck" leave
as the numerous farewell parties given
and proposed in his honor will testify.
During his long residence here probably
no other man won more universal re-
spect and friendship than did "Buck"
and it is a very hard blow to a large
number of old acquaintances to see him
depart, probably to be never again seen
in these parts. Ii good wishes will do
any good he will be one Of the happiest
men the world ever produced. We all
hope he will go back, marry the idol of
his heart 1--WE see no other reason for
his departure) and then return to live
among his friends on Camas Prairie.
Davis & Wells is the name of firm
who came tc this place last Sunday to
take photographs of our people and
scenery. They are both very gentle
manly men and their work is some of
the best it has ever been our pleasure to
see. They have all of the modern APP
pliances appurtenant to first class pho
tograghy and can take any size picture
from the smallest stamp upward, but |
make speciality OF farm and home |
views. One of the latest inventions in |
the Photographic art, which will prob |
ably be in operation at the gallery by |
this time, is duplicating camera with
which you can have picture taken of |
yourself playing cards with yourself. |
shaving yourself, etc., and which will |
make it appear on the photo as if there !
were two persons of precisely your looks /
having group picture taken. 1t is
simply marvellous to which state of per- |
lection the art OF photography can be
brought when manipulated by compe-
tent workmen, and these gentlemen
thoroughly understand their business.
Their headquarters are in the old gal |
lery here and as they will only be here
short while before moving on to Dem
yer any person desiring good picture
would do well to see them Immediately. |
