Grants Pass Choral Union Has
Commenced Work.

There was good attendance at the
meeting of the choral union on Mon,
day evening and the first rehearsal OF
the sacred cantata Esther" was
held This cantata will lie given
probably some time in December.
" Esther" was once before given in
this city by the choral union, some
II years ago, but the arrangement
now in the hands Of the organization
is quite different from the ono for.
merly given. Much Of the music is
the same. but there are many addi.
tions, changes and improvements. so
that the piece is virtually new to this
city and the changes, 1t may safely be
said, are all for the better and are n
distinct addition to the life and in
terest Of the cantata The solo parts
are not yet assigned.
Esther" though the theme is
serious, is not heavy nor solemn
production, but is bright and full Of
life throughout with good Opportunity
for dramatic as we'll as musical effect.

TRYING CRIMINAL CASES
Two Convictions, Two Acquittals
and One Disa sreement.

Criminal cases have occupied the
attention OF the circuit court during
nearly all Of the past week. On
Thursday the trial of John Knapp
was held, the charge being assault
with intent to commit rape The jury
brought in verdict Of guilty and
on Wednesday the defendant was
sentenced for term OF five years in
the penitentiary.
The trial of Andy Grimes, charged
with assault on Rev. Joseph Sans,
was held on Friday. The trouble oc.
Cured last summer at Williams Bros. ,
saw mill on Cheney creek. Sans
who was engineer. blew the mill
whistle, which so frightened Grimes
horses, that they broke away from
him. Grimes then came up and
threw rock at Sans as he stood by
the engine. The prosecution claimed
that Sans was saved from serious in
jury, only by an intervening brace,
which was struck by the rock. A
disagreement was tho nearest the jury
could approach toward verdict.
5. j. Cannon was tried on Saturday
ON the charge Of taking money
and revolver from the saloon of A.
Lempke, while acting as bar keeper
Tor the latter at time when Mr..
Lempke was partially incapaci.
tated from looking after his business.
Mr.. Lempke proved very fluent
witness, taxing the powers of Court
Reporter Calkins to the utmost, to
keep pace with his evidence. The
jury returned verdict of not guilty.
The trial Of Arthur Conklip.
charged with libel was held ON Mon
day and Tuesday. The case had it's
origin in the campaign preceding the
June election, when the Mining
Journal published an article which
virtually charged r, G. Smith with
embezzlement. A verdict of guilty
WAS returned by the jury, and on
Thursday the judge imposed a fine of
s25ol. Steps have been taken to appeal
the case.
Joseph Williams, who was held for
the murder of Mrs. Florence Chaplin,
was released by the grand jury, the
evidence being insufficient to connect
him with the crime.
The case of Henry Williams and
James Yokum, charged with assault
with intent to rob, was continued |

Our school is progressing nicely
with large attendance.
People are coming here to get worK
as this vicinity has been advertised
for giving work for ali willing
hands.
Cattle are holding up we'll on the
range. Ed Light is furnishing feed
for Leland also placer and Greenback
he reports business goud.
We are having fine fall weather for
doing up fall work, although too dry
for plowing our late rain did good,
but not enough for plowing.
We are receiving some immig-a-
tion from Wisconsin, bat of the
laboring class. We want more people
with money, that helps build up a
country.
A large amount of work is being
done on the railroad bridge in tins
vicinity. Carl Stout is running the
boarding car; all white men OH the
sections.
We have no sickness to report.
Some have had colds but that is
result of getting too warm, then cool
ing off too quickly, and that is their
own fault
A large amount of freight is being
hauled to Placer and Greenback
mines. From the amount Of business,
we think there will be demand for a
railroad from Leland to Greenback
as new mines are being opened.
Mr.. Bennett who has quartz mine
near Placer was in town last week !;
he says his ledge is showing up all
right; lie has been remodeling his
machinery, so as to work his ledge
this winter with larger force of
men.
We hear of hard frosts in many
places in the states, here the weather
is like summer; the nights are warm,
so all kinds Of vegetables will ma
ture. AS a rule our frosts hold off
until all gardens are matured, so we
can count ON raising all late vegetables.
Several families have come here for
their health, and have been much
benefited, also found ready employ
ment. One lady said that we have
such delightful climate here,
scarcely any wind, and the air is SO
invigoraing, they feel so much better;
her husband has regained his health
and is getting two dollars q day work
ing for 7. J. Mackin.
Bountiful crops are raised here,
which bring good pric S, as we are
close TO several big mines; without
doubt the wagon road will be built
from Galice Creek to Leland as it is
the shortest route, also the most FEAST
BILE and can be made on an easy
grade; that means a big business for
this vicinity, then the other little
towns along the railroad will be en-.
vious Of Leland as we are in the cen.
ter of attraction, it is all right.
We have no marriages to chronicle
this week. Wide Awake.
