NEWS FROM SWEET.

Saturday was busy day indeed
A mill meeting, a ditch meeting and
road meeting being held, The
latter was a spirited event, the com
mittee on the Ola road failing to
agree, and on the minority report
quite lively discussion was entered
into by the committee and others
The committee on the Sweet Emmett
road were unanimous in their report
and steps were taken to advance the
proposition and it is a sure thing
that we will soon have fine road to
Emmett, our railroad point.
Reed & Murray have sold their
barn and business to a Lewiston
man. We are sorry to lose the boys.
The /. o. O. F. here had big time
at their meeting Saturday night.
They have sent for a new organ to
give their meetings more life.
The high water washed out the
head of the ditch so that the mill
cannot run until the ditch is repair
ed, which will be done this week.
The mill has made one good run on
-four, but the roads being too bad,
wheat could not be hauled and the
-four is getting low, but soon there
will be plenty.
Every one is happy; as the wealth
err is better and we can all get to
work.
Mr.. Maybee from Boise is over
our way hunting a location. Brother
Baker is also here looking over his
homestead.
The fish are in fine running order
and any one loving fish can easily
get good fill up.
We have a good prospect for a
great fruit crop. The apricots and
peaches are nearly in bloom.

Cigar Starts Fire.

The Palace Restaurant, owned by
Mrs. L. B. McAdams, had narrow
escape from being destroyed by fire
Saturday morning at o'clock. One
of the roomers had carelessly drop
ped lighted cigar on the carpet in
one Of the rooms and blaze was
started, and when discovered by
May Bradbury, who occupied an adj
joinining room, the bedding was in
flames. Prompt action extinguished
the fire and the damage was slight.
The guests were badly frightened.

Wildcat and Dog Battle.

Tom Shearer, who lives on his
ranch in the hills east of Payette,
tells of a fierce battle he and his
shepherd dog had with a wildcat
last week. Mr.. Shearer, on horse
back. and his dog were jogging along
in the dusk of the evening when the
big cat crossed their path. In an in
slant Curly made leap at the cats
throat and the animals went tumb-
ling over each other in a wild scrim-
mage. When they gained their feet
and tore at each other with their
swapping teeth, Shearer saw that his
dog was engaged in battle, the
outcome of which was doubtful. He
jerked his coat from his back and
threw it over the head of his horse,
which was already becoming badly
frightened, and attempted to help
his dog by riding over the wildcat.
Once, when the horse stepped against
the cat, the animal turned and snap
ped the horse in the flank, making
the blood flow. Curly was not slow
in taking advantage of the cats at
tention being distracted, and he
jumped at the cat with renewed .
force and secured firm hold. The /
two animals went,rolling and tumb- .
ling again, a ball of flying fur and .
fierce growls being all that Shearer
could see or hear. Shearer then
jumped from his horse and went to
his dogs assistance on foot. His
only weapon was his coat, but he
used it effectively. He kept throw
ing his coat over the cats head, each

Nampa Kids Win.

The junior baseball team from
this town was defeated at Nampa
Saturday by the narrow margin of
three scores. During the game the
Nampa boys became frightened at
the way the Emmett boys were roll
ing up the score and ran in several
overgrown playerys, one of them
being old enough to sport a mustache.
Mrs. Thommen chaperoned the
Emmett team. The score was 10 to

time permitting the dog to get the
advantage of his adversary. The cat
made several attempts to attack
Shearer, but each time it only jump
ed into his coat and was smothered
to the ground, finally becoming SO
weak that the dog easily ended its
life.

Injured by Cow.

The 13-year-old daughter of Mr..

on the east slope, was severely in
jured by being trampled upon by
cow. Three bones in one of her
arms were broken.

His ExeeIleney the Turkey.

; As early as 1911 the turkey was
classcd among the dalntles In England.
The wild turkey of North America has
been used mainly as the foundation
from which size and vlgor in Il do
nestle stock have been gained. The
bronze holds the post of honor and
probably originated from n cross be-
tween the wild and the tame turkey.
Its beautiful plumage and size come
from its Wild %progenItor. To maintain
these desirable qualities crosses are
continually made. The standard
weight Is from sixteen to thIrty.sIx
pounds, according TO age and sex.
In point OF production the bronze e1-
ceeds NIL others. The colorlng Is a
ground OF black bfazoned or shaded
with bronze. This shading Is rich and
glowing. and when the suns rays are
reflected from these colors they shine
like polished steel. While the female
has the same color, 1t Is not SO rich
as that Of the male. Much Of this rich.
ness OF color Is lost through inbred.
Ing. On the other hand, it Is improved
by each cross with the wild birds.

After church was over Aunt Kate
went home. but Hester Ann stayed at
Sunday school. AS she slipped shyly
into her place in the class the girls
nodded to her good naturally and went
on with their talk. They liked Hester
Ann in n way, but they could not un-
derstand her. The quiet little figure In
the queer old fashioned dress might
almost have been a visitor from some
other world, SO little had they in CON-
mon with her. Hester Ann was used
to this. She settled back, In her cor.

gIrlish faces. She noticed the way the
sunlight seemed tangled in Flossle Ar.

then went bnck to her paper, but It

many things that she had to write In

she did not dnrc ask for pen and ink.
Once or twice she looked anxIously

Hester Ann walked very soberly

She could not understand It at all; but,
anyway. Aunt Kate was not cross
