Dave Yates, of Denver, was in town
one day this week with two of the finest
draft horses we have seen in years.
Mr., Yates is an enthusiastic horseman
and keeps his horses in fine condition,
While working at Bradfords mill last
Tuesday Orion Randall had the misfor-
tune to cut his left foot very badly. 1t
seems that the axe he was using slipped
and cut bis foot across the toes and in
step, making wound that will lay him
up for some time.
Two births are reported by DIR. Tur-
ner this week but we failed to learn the
sex of the infants. The first baby was
born to the wife of Preston Morris, on
Sunday, Feb. 2, and the second was
born to the wife of Ed Howell, on We'd
nesday, Feb. 5, 1902.
The enterprising citizens of Forest
this week had some half sheet posters
printed announcing dances at that town
on the 14th and 2lst of this month.
We haye always heard very fattering
reports of the dances at that place and
no doubt these will be well attended.
Math Lauer was over from Greencreek
this week on business trip, accompa-
| MED by his brother, a recent arrival from
| Minnesota, who has purchased Van
Wright's place for $4,000. Land in that
section commands higher prices than
elsewhere on the prairie. Press.
Owing to the sickness of Mr.. and Mrs.
Foster the Model restaurant at Grange
vile has been closed to the public for a
short time. This popular eating house
will be opened again in about week
and will be in the same position to ac-
commodate its many customers as be-
! fore.
We are sorry to see through the col
! umns of the Anaconda Standard that
Pat Brice, the hero of the Nez Perce war
on Salmon river and whom everyone in
this section has heard of, has been con-
fined to the insane asylum at Warm
| Springs, Montana. He had been at
Anaconda for many years doing odd
jobs.
Claud Robbins furnished four
horse sled to crowd OF boys and girls
last Wednesday night and gave them a
nice long sleigh ride lasting until nearly
midnight. The Blackbu boys were
out with their rig at the same time and
they also had on load of jolly boys and
| girls. These are red letter days for the
youth of the prairie.
The Board Of Village Trustees is in re-
ceipt OF letter from the Grangeville
electric light company requesting a
franchise to supply our town with light
when their new Clearwater river power
house is completed. This would be a
great thing for Cottonwood as electric
lights are just about as cheap as any
other kind and much better.
John W. Wedding brought suit against
Henry Koehler yesterday in Judge Rob-
bins' court for the recovery of $89, which
he claims is due him from Koehler for
board for several months. On account
of some irregularity in the papers the
case was postponed until February 18th.
Wedding is living on Koehler's farm
and the latter claims he made an agree
ment with the former which entitled
him to the board free of charge and
Wedding denies the agreement.
A week ago Thursday morning ]. H.
Hunt left this town with span of
horses and a buggy for Nezperce. His
team reached Nezperce but Mr.. Hunt
was not with them. A search party
was Immediately organized to look for
the missing man but they returned
without finding him. Later another
party was organized which found Mr..
Hunt at the residence of Mr.. John Sber-
idan, about six miles from Nezperce,
weak but uninjured. 1t was thought
for time he had frozen to death. He
had had q runaway
