to hire but one or two men and
their salary could be easily sub
scribed among our citizens. The
gate receipts would defray the ex-
penses OF the visiting teams and
all the town would have to raise
would be the lumber to fence the
ball ground and the salary for one
or two players. This ought not
stand in the way Of organizing a
ball team here. We need the at
traction both for the increased
trade 1t would bring and the.
amusement it will afford.

Those who were permitted to witness
her last moments could almost see with
in,the pearly gates, so joyous and happy
was her entrance there. She fell asleep
to wake in Jesus arms with the smile OF
an angel on her face. A few of her last
| precious words were: "Jesus is calling,
why don't you come hone,' 4 am
not afraid, He died to save me- and THE
Spirit calls

SPRING A SENSATION.

Quite sensation was created here
last Friday when the news was learned
through the Grangeville Standard that
an affidavit had been filed with the
county attorney, in the Lancaster case,
stating that Lancaster was innocent.
The affidavit was signed by Estella l..
Tefft, the complaining witness, and
stated that an Unframed person was the
guilty party instead of Lancaster. The
news of this affidavit was a surprise to
everyone as all saw where the unfor-
tunate girl was laying herself liable to
conviction for perjury as she had twice
sworn on the witness stand that Ian
caster was the guilty party. Immedite-
ly after the news became known III. w.
Teft, father of the girl, and the girl
went to the Office of local notary where
the girl made a second affidavit to the
effect that her signature had been pro-
cured for the first on the promise that it
should be forwarded to the governor
and not be introduced into court. 1t
is generally believed here that the first
affidavit was secured by unscrupulous
parties who led the girl to believe the
affidavit would in no way effect her
former testimony after promising faith
fully it would not be used in court. If
this is the case the parties working on the
ignorance of the young girl are fit for a
place behind the bars themselves and
are no whit better than the man con-
victed of the crime.

organizing their base ball teams

if Cottonwood intends having a
team this year it is high time ii
was being organized. 1t is quite
probable we will not celebrate this
year and we should certainly have
some attraction to draw people to
town this summer. Why not get
up good ball team, fence the ball
park and have good ball games
each week during the summer and
then arrange to have three or
four-day base ball tournament here
shortly after the Fourth for good
purse. It would prove great
attraction and paying PROPOSE
