Fire Alarm Monday.

A fire in the house of Louis
Huff caused some excitement, but
no particular damage last Monday
morning. The fire was discovered
about $3.50 o'clock in > the morning
by Silas Austin, who Immediately
turned in the fire alarm, which was
quickly and systematically respon-
ded to by the fire companies, but
the fire was extinguished before
the company got to the scene.
The fire was burning in some
old clothes and rags which were
piled on a beadstead in the rear
room Of the house. Mr.. Huff was
not at the house at the time Of the
fire and there was no fire in the
stove, which was in the front room.
1t was not possible to ascertain the
origin Of the fire, but it may have
started from q lighted match or a
spark from Mr.. Huff's pipe and
burned 30 slowly that he left the
place without discovering it.

CountyMapsFree
Given to Free Press Subscribers
Who Pay In Advance.

The FREE Press, at a
cost of over $500. has had
a beautiful map combina.
ton of three pages made
which will be given to all
subscribers who pay one
year in advance. The
pages are 22X2S inches in
size and on the first one
is an enlarged map of
Idaho county printed in
colors and. showing post
offices, streams, principal
wagon roads, railroad sur.
veys, boundaries of forest
reserves and attitudes of
the highest mountains.
The map was carefully
corrected from the latest
government surveys and
is the most reliable of any
map OF the county now in
existence, besides being
the only one enlarged and
printed in colors.
On the second page is
the latest map of the state
of Idaho, with a list of
cities. of the state and
their population printed
on the margin. On the
third page is a map of
the United States.
The three are fastened
together with a metal
hanger, making it con-
venient for hanging on
wall of Office or library.
The maps of themselves
are worth more than the
81 asked for a years sub
scription to the FREE
Press and both should
be in every home in the
county.
We have only a limited
number of these maps and
to insure getting one or.
ders should be placed

DROWNED IN NURSS' POND.
Willard Coode, II Year Old Son
of Atty. Geo. W. Coode.

Willard Coode, II Year Old Son
of Atty. Geo. W. Coode.
While in swimming in Nurss'
pond, two miles from this city,
Monday afternoon, Willard Goode,
the eleven year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. w. Goode. of this city,
was drowned. There was no one
witnessed the incident but three
small boys, two of whom were
younger brothers of the boy that
was drowned and the other was
Harvey Nurss, boy of thirteen
years Of age. The brothers were
Melvin and Walter Goode whose
ages are nine and eight years re-
spectively.
1t seems that Harvey Nurss was
in swimming and that Willard
Goode, not being able to swim
went in wading, and, not being
familiar with the depth of the pond,
waded into deep water and imme-
diately went under. His compan-
ion, being good swimmer for a
boy OF thirteen, made heroic
struggle to rescue the drowning
boy, and almost succeeded once,
but his strength was not enough
and he was compelled to give up
the attempt, and, mounting horse
the boys had with them, he rode to
the nearest house and summoned
aid, but by the time men reached
the scene and rescued the body it
was too late. The body had been
in the water for nearly half an
hour and all efforts to restore life
were in vain.
The funeral services wele held
from the Episcopal church at. 10
O'Clock this morning, and inter
ment made in the Prairie View
cemetery.

FIRE AT NURss' GROVE.
Carelessness Of Smokers the
Probable Cause,

About three O'Clock Sunday
afternoon q FIRE was discovered at
Nurss' grove on the ridge between
the camp and the swimming pond.
The fire was email when frat dis
covered, but by the time the camp
ers aud the picnic crowd, which
was enjoying the afternoon at the
grove, reached the scene, it had
epread ever quite an area. The
ground was covered with thick
brush and considerable dead limbs
and fallen trees and logs, which
fed the spreading flames like so
much kindling wood. As soon as
the alarm was given at the camp
the campers and visitors made
climb up the hill for the scene OF
the fire and soon about fifty men
we're engaged in fighting fire with
green boughs, wet sacks and any
thing that could be had. Had it
not been for plenty of men present
to check the FIRE it would no doubt
have done much damage. As it
was, the fire fighters had hard
time for about an hour before get
ting the fire under control, and
would not have succeeded then had
it NOS been for wagon road lying
in the path Of the flames.
The fire started near path lead
ing from the grove over the ridge
to the swimming pond and no
doubt was started by a cigar or
eigarette stub or lighted match
carelessly thrown down by some
one smoking. Much excitement
was caused by the fire and the
campers at one time thought they
were going to have to move out.
Last Sunday one of the Nurss'
ice houses caught fire and it is
thought it started by some Of the
boys smoking.
