FATAL SHOOTING
AT OROGRANDE
Joe Mitchell Killed By Mike SWeeny
and Andrew Prader.
TROUBLE OYER MINING CLAIMS
Both Men Surrender and Claim
Self Defense.

Az result Of the shooting affair
near Orogrande last Thursday,
Joe Mitchell is dead and Mike
Sweeny and Andrew Prader are
held to answer for his death.
The affair took place at a tent
being pitched by Sweeny and
Prader on a mining claim, the
possession of which has been under
dispute for some time. Four bull
let wounds were found upon the
body of Mitchell. Any one of the
of three wounds would have caused
nearly instant death. The fourth
was a bad wound in the hip.
Sweeny received a slight wound
in the arm. Sheriff Green and
Coroner Irwin left here late Thurs
day night for the scene of the
shooting and arrived there Satur-
day mornings - and returned here
late Tuesday evening. They found
the body of Mitchell just as it
had fallen and well preserved.
There were three eye-witnesses
to the shooting, two boys and one
man. The man was John Yearsley
and the boys were Geo. Trout and
Stanley Stone. Sweeny used a
3O-3O rifle, Mitchell 25-35 rifle,
and Prader 80 automatic Colts
revolver. Mitchell fred but one
shot. At the coroner's inquest sufli.
cient evidence was produced to
warrant the holding of Sweeny
and Prader.
The coroner's jury brought in a
verdict of death caused by wounds
inflicted by rifle and revolver in
the hands of Sweeny and Prader,
and charges Sweeny and Pradel
with criminal intent.
Joe Mitchell, quite commonly
known as "Dog Joe," because o
his habit of having pack of tn,
canine family following him over
the country, was a man of small
stature, rather dark, with Ions
black hair and piercing eyes. II,
was used to rough mountain life
and was about fifty years of age
He is said to have been born il
Texas.
Sweeny and Prader are men o
about the same age of Mitchell
They both have families in Spo
kane. Sweeny is brother o
Chas. Sweeny, the capitalist o
Spokane. f.5f
Late Tuesday evening Sween.
and Prader were arraigned befor
Justice Hotchkiss and pleaded no
guilty. They were placed unde

PAPERS CONSOLIDATE.
Standard and News Now Under
.One Management.

STANDARD anu IN0WS NOW OIlOSI
.One Management.
The Standard and News, two re-
publican newspapers of this city,
have been consolidated and in the
future will appear as the Standard
News, under the management Of
II. L. Herzinger, proprietor of the
latter. Under the new arrange
ment G. J. Lisle will retire from
the business and School Superin-
tendent E. A. Carpenter will asso.
ciate himself as manager, while
Mr.. Herzinger will occupy the edi-
torial chair. The semi-weekly here
tofore published will be discontin-
ued and the paper will appear on
Thursdays only. After this week
the Standard plant will be moved
from the Bank of Camas Prairie
building to the building now occu.
pied by the News.
The consolidation was no doubt
brought about by the political in
terests of the republican party
which was anxious to eliminate the
two factions in it's ranks.
The change is undoubtedly a
wise one from business stand
point, as Grangeville has never
been large enough to support three
papers and in the past it has beer
one continual struggle for existence

THE CELEBRATION.
Good Weather. Good Crowd
and Good Entertainment.

and Good Entertainment.
The first day of the celebration
passed off with fine weather except
a little warmer than usual, and
with large crowd in attendance.
The program of the day opened
with beautifully arranged parade,
which formed in front of the court
house and moved through Main
street to the celebration ground on
the hill east of town. One Of the
most interesting features OF the
parade was the float of the Frater-
nal Order of Eagles. Liberty was
represented in very appropriate
and unique manner by the "Big
headed man on the 'Libertie
Kar."
The parade was headed by Riggs
band; next in the procession was
quite representation of the G. A.
r., followed by Co. q, National
Guard Of Idaho. Other partici-
pants in the parade were the fire
company, with their chemical en-.
gine and hose cart; the young or
ators who were to take part in
the students oratOrical contest;
last, but by no means least, was
Gillette's band, which appeared
in very neat white uniforms and
rendered selections which did much
credit to the new organization.
The most interesting part of the
morning exercises was the orations
delivered by four of the contestants
in the students oratorical contest.
There are seven participants in this
contest. The other three deliver
their orations today. Those who
delivered orations yesterday and
their subjects are as follows:
Hilda Hohaus, "Woman's part
in History
Essie Z. Davis, "Our Flag"
o. H. McGrew, "The Spirit OF
True Patriotism"
II. II. Harris, "Nathan Hale,
an American martyr"
All of the contestants did exceed
ingly well and held the individual
attention of the hundreds of people
present during their delivery.
The two features of the afternoon
were the concerts by the bands
which rendered some very fine
music, and the base ball game.
The ball game was closely contest
ed by the two local teams, the
High school and town. The town
team won by score of s to A.
The celebrations at the neighbor
ing towns of White Bird, Cotton
wood and Sites are reported al
events Of great success.
Today will see the beginning o
the horse racing, which promises
to be of much interest. I
