DR.. Shinnick returned yesterday from
Spokane where he went last week to
meet his wife who came west from
Chicago. Mrs. Shinnick accompanied
him to this place and they will probably
commence housekeeping in the near
future.
In an item last week gathered from a
Grangeville paper we stated that county
superintendent Elsensohn contem plated
moving To Pullman after the first OF the
year. We are now informed this is
mistake as he has no such intention at
present.
d. w. Arrison, our popular young at
torney, rolled up his tent like the Arab
and moved to White Bird Monday
where he says less fire is needed and
legal cases are apt to prove more plenti-
ful. We hope he may not be disapoint-
ell in his new location.

this week in John Funke's we'll at a
depth of about 30 feet. The well will be
sunk few feet lower so as to retain the

phoned his bid over to the sheriff and
secured bargain as the property is des-

figure.

edition is well cotton up and nicely
printed and sets forth the wealth and
resources of the county to good advant-
age. However we have one fault to ind
with it. In making up the pages the

as Chinese puzzle. Aside from this
mistake the edition is all right and
credit to the county.
Mr.. Potter, the aged father of Mrs.
Joslin and Warren Potter, died at the
residence OF his daughter in this city at
late hour Christmas night. He had
been bedfast but short time before his
death but had been failing gradually for
several years past. His death was
due principally to old age and had been

was highly respected by all who knew
him and leaves many friends to mourn
his departure, We print an obituarv
