Sold Liquor to Indians.

J. A. Chamberlain, supposed to
be from Oregon and who has been
making his home at Sites for some
time past was up before Justice
Roberts of that place yesterday on
two charges Of selling liquor to
Indians on Sunday. County Atty.
Griffith prosecuted and Col. Lane
of Kamiah defended. He was
found guilty on both counts and
was fined $3.50 and given 80 days
in Jail on the first charge and 500
and 80 days in Jail on second. He
was brought to the county Jail here
last night and will have some time
in which to think it over. Selling
booze to the Red Man is q serious
crime and the punishment is not q
bit too severe.

A Fortune in Fireworks.

A small fortune will be expended
in fireworks at the opening carnival
of the Interstate Fair, when ten
thousand dollars worth of powder
will be burned. The Mystic Order
of Enakops has already purchased
the fireworks from the Pain CON-
pany OF New York. and most OF
the display seen at the opening Of
the jamestown Tercentennial will
will be reproduced at the fair this
year.
One of the chief features of the
display will be the burning of a
cottage, the arrival Of an electric
fire engine and the subduing Of the
flames by stream of fire directed
by an automatic fireman. All will
be produced by the power Of the
powder alone, and this display will
be one Of the finest ever seen in
the country. Another tableau will
show the eruption of Mount Vesn.
vius, and there will be a number
of other set pieces.

He placed . six-shoOter to his head
and in q dramatic manner bade
goodbye to his friends, but as be
was about to pull the trigger a

gun out Of his hand. He was taken

has since decided that life is worth
while and will remain q while
longer with the bunch on earth.

ALL IN READINESS
ENTRIES COMING IN FAST
Idaho County Fair Ready for
Big Opening Next Week.
Four Days of Entertainments
Fair Open Nights.

Things are being placed in readi-
ness for the Idaho County Fair
which is to be held here next week.
The streets have been cleaned and
on every hand you can hear the
ring Of the carpenters hammers
who are busy erecting stalls and
pavilions for the big fair. Entries
are coming in at . rapid rate, evil
dencing the fact Of mighty good
exhibition of cattle, grains, fruit,
minerals, flowers, etc. The big
attraction company will arrive
Monday. There is going to be the
largest crowd ever in this city all
next week and if you don't come
and bring the family you'll be
sorry. Secretary Hattabaugh will
have list of rooms to be had dur
ing the fair and the city will make
every effort to take care of you.
One fact that is perhaps not so
generally known is the big time at
night. The carnival company will
have things lighted up at night,
there will be free attractions,
dances and many forms of amuse-
ment. The night feature will be
well worth staying for. During
the fair a number of our leading
merchants will give big special
sales so this will afford you an op-
portunity to combine business with
pleasure. BY all means arrange
to spend the week at the county
seat and take in every day of the
big fair.

School Notes.

Editor Free Press: Believing
that all your readers are interested
in the children and their education,
l would be glad to have you devote
q short space week ly to school items
and will undertake to furnish the
items If you will the space.
This is the fourth week Of school
and the year is one ninth gone this,
Friday evening.
No school next week because of
the fair and the cleaning and paint
ing to be done at the school house.
We thoroughly believe that
cleanliness is one of the virtues
and that the invention and manu-
facture Of soap and paint is q bless-
ing to humanity, we know of no
better way to teach cleanliness
than to practice it.
We hope that parents will aid US
in our efforts to teach punctuality,
and SO will kindly fill out the ex.
cuse blanks whenever it becomes
necessary to send them. We have
a printed slip prepared to make
this more convenient for the parents
and more uniform throughout the
school.
Five or six workmen began work
in the seventh grade room Tue sday
afternoon. They will keep at work k
until the entire building is kalso-
mined and painted.
Because Of this work and also
the county fair there will be no
school next week, but hope to be-
gin again Monday, October 7th. all
clean and sweet and ready for good
solid work.
Supt. Greenough was q caller
and visited for q short time Tues
day.
There is some question as to
what is the best time for the hold
ing of the literary society. For
some reasons the evening is prefer
able to the afternoon and then cer-
tain evenings are better than others.
On the other hand, there are many
good points in favor of the after
noon meeting. This question is
not entirely settled as yet hut it is
quite probable that the FIRST few
meetings will be given in the high
school room at 2:45 in the after
noon.

Goes RAZOR ROUTE
John Wilson, Colored, Slashes
Himself With Razor.
ON WAY TO BUFFALO HUMP
Becomes Despondent and De-
cides to Beat Them to It,"

John M. Wilson, an aged negro
who drifted into this city last win
ter in a destitute condition and was
taken to the county farm for the
winter, committed suicide at
Moore's Station on the road into
Buffalo Hump, last week.
Deceased came to Grangeville
last winter and was taken to the
county farm until this spring when
he secured a place as cook in the
mining camp on Clearwater in
charge of Charles Thompson. He
worked steady all summer and was
in town but once or twice during
the past several months. He COL
lected his wages the first Of Septem-
Der and informed Mr.. Thompson
he was going on a prospecting trip
in the mountains. 1t seems the
old man had one fault, viz, pour
ing down the corn juice in excessive
quantities. Immediately upon his
arrival here he started in exchang-
ing Clearwater gold for Grangeville
corn juice and before he was in
town many days had a mighty big
load as we'll as himself to take care
OF.
Along about the middle -Of
September he hired out to the
Cracker.Jack people as cook and
left for the Hump country. He
rode in as far as Moore's Station
with Bert Lanniugham and upon
arriving there stated he did not
feel well and believed he would re-
main there and come out with
Lanningham on the return trip.
On the night Of the ninteeth he
slipped out his trusty old "razoor"
end let the keen edge tickle the
left side of his throat.
A party Of fisherman who were
camping at the came point dis
covered him in the morning mot
dead but dying"
1t seems he was laboring under
the impression that "they were
after him" and stated he wanted to
"beat them to it," The body was
brought to this city and given a
respectable burial by the county
last Saturday.
