killed during the recent mining distur-

there has been some doubt as to wheth.
er or not the fatal shot was intended for
the victim.

One thing the county conven-
ton should be careful about this
year is to put up good men for
each office and men who can sup
ply their own official bonds. We
have it on pretty good authority
that with but a couple exceptions
the officers for the past two
terms have secured their bonds
from eastern bonding companies
and the county has paid the
freight. This is not as it should
be. Each county official should
supply his own bond without ex-
pense to the county.

From the way people are flock
ing into Cottonwood from the
different sections ofthe country
and from outside points we are
forced to believe that our city is
gaining considerable prestige
abroad. Of course the railroad
construction near this place is re-
sponsible in part for the influx
of people but at the same time
trade is excellent in all lines of
business here while at the larger
towns of Grangeville and Nez-
perez it is said to be pretty slack.
Considerable building is also be-
ing done here and if present con-
ditions continue Cottonwood will
soon hustle the city of the county
seat for the honor of being the
largest town of this large county.

ed here that the steamer Mountain

above the mouth of the Snake river
that she could not run and has re.
