Forsmann, Treasurer; B. Luchte-
field, H. J. Nau and John F.
Nuxoll, Directors.
The meeting was a most har-
monious one and all present were
we'll pleased with the progress
made by the company since it's
organization. At present poll
cies to the value of $1OO, 900 have
been issued and it is quite prob
able that $4,000 more insurance
will be written before the pres
ent year closes. This form of
Insurance is the cheapest and
best the farmer can have and
none hesitate about taking it.
The company has a very promis-
ing future and with the large
membership none of the policy
holders are effected to any great
extent by losses sustained. So
far the company has not had a
loss and it is to be hoped it con-
tinues without them for some
time to come.

Ferdinand Gets Defeated.

The Cottonwood ball team or
part of went to Ferdinand
Sunday and wiped up that team
to the tune of 8 to 2. The boys
really did not expect to win as
they were short a catcher and
two fielders but they put Johnnie
Rookie and "Heinie" Nuxoll in
the field to fill the vacancies;
moved George Lange from second
base to the pitchers box, put
Bolieou behind the bat from
short and were ready for bust
ness. AS soon as the game
started is was easy to see the
result. The big crowd of Cot
tonwood "rooters" gave the
boys plenty of courage and they
proceeded to play ball in a way
to astonish even themselves.
The Ferdinand boys also played
good ball at times but they were
out of luck and could not connect
with George Lange's rural"
delivery and succeeded in getting
only two men home.
A return game will be played
here tomorrow and a fast game
will be played here Sunday be-
tween the home aggregation and
the Forest boys Word comes
from that place that the visiting
team is good one and expects
to repeat the drubbing it gave
Cottonwood last Fourth but we
predict it will find a larger chunk
of bad luck awaiting it here than
it will be able to masticate.
The game played Sunday at
Kamiahr between the Indian team
and the first team of Grangeville
resulted in a score of 16 to l for
the Indians.

Trains BE Here 4
Late This Fall
! awiston Drummer Takes Orders
For Delivery on Cars Here Next
necember---GrangeviIle Orders
Among Them.

From facts learned here this
week it is now quite apparent
that the railroad will be hauling
freight into Cottonwood late this
fall. A representative of the
Lewiston Mercantile Co. was
soliciting orders here and took
them with the guarantee of de-
livering the goods f. o. bl cars
in Cottonwood on Decemper 1st,
1907. Several of our merchants
placed large orders for their
years supply of canned fruit and
vegetables, the goods to be de-
livered here this fall, and the
salesman stated he had a num-
Der of orders from Grangeville
merchants calling for delivery at,
this point. He stated his COM
pany had assurance from the
roilroad company that they would
be able to deliver freight here
early in November but they de-
cided to make a thirty day al
lowance and are taking orders
for delivery here on December
1st. This means that the rail
road will be completed into Cot
tonwood late this fall but will
not be built to Grangeville be-
fore next summer.

can supply all your wants in that
line.
About a dozen teams and
scrapers came in last Friday to
do grading at the Egan camp
here but the wet weather this
week has kept them from doing
much in that line.
Ed. Stolz was in today from
Greencreek and advanced his
subscription another year and
also ordered the paper sent to
his brother, Albert, at Ellen
wood, Kansas. Ed. says his
orchard is doing fine this year
and prospects are excellent for a
big fruit crop.
The heavy rains this week
have been blessing to this
country and have put thousands
of dollars into the pockets of the
farmers. Grain was needing
moisture badly but it has suffi-
cient now to last until harvest
and one can almost see the crops
grow. Cool weather up until
the first of August will insure
the largest yield ever seen on
the prairie and the farmers will
simply be rolling in wealth this
fall. We hope so, anyway.

SOCORRO NIGHT AGENT
, CAUGHT ROBB|NG
TRUNKS
Dwight Frazier. Arrested In
Act. Pleads Guilty to
Larceny.
MANY COMPLAINTS OF
THAT NATURE MADE

Socorro, n. NJ, August 2S.-(Spec-
ial.)-With a skeleton key in one
hand and holding the lid of a trunk
in the other Dwight Frazier. night
operator at the local Santa Fe sta
tion, was caught red handed this
morning robbing trunks left at the
station to be checked. Santa Fe de-
tectives made the capture. Frazier
plead guilty to the charge of larceny
this morning before a justice Of the
peace and is confined in the Socorro
county Jail awaiting trial.
For some time past, the Santa Fe
has been receiving complaints from
people checking trunks at Socorro
that their trunks had been opened
and valuables taken from them. Fra
zier, who was the only person around
the station at night, was suspected.
A watch was secreted in the bag
gage room of the depot and shortly
after midnight the thief appeared
armed with a lantern and a bunch
OF keys. Picking out the most pros
porous looking trunk from those in
the baggage room, Frazier unstrapped
il and began trying keys in the lock,
with the result that the lock came
open. He was then arrested.

saying that they were signed under
duress.
'self-confessed perjurors either
way you decide, what faith can you
have in their word?''
Ralph Talbot replied specifically
to this. limiting broadly that Post
office Inspectors Macomic and Riddi-
ford could not help being carried
away by their zeal in investigating 3
the case and their anxiety to secure
a conviction against the promoters.
IF it Is true that Riddiford and
Macomic have so overcome human
nature" he said, 'if they have so
completely disassociated themselves
from any feeling in this case, and If
those three statements signed by old
man Du Bois were true and were
freely and voluntarily made without
duress or threats, then what was the
use OF dogging the old man from
room to room in this building, SNUG
Cling him out through the basement
and dragging him off to a room in
the Shirley hotel where he was
watched all night? What was the use
of all this If he had made those
statements of his own free will?"
The Meetings
As for the minutes Of the COM
pany and the reports of directors
meetings at which Arthur Levan was
the only one present, although all the
directors signed, Mr.. Talbot said that
such procedure was not only general
In Colorado but perfectly legal.
THE evidence shows that the di-
rectors met amongst each other al
though not formally organized as a
meeting" he said. They simply saw
each other and agreed that certain
actions should be taken by the board.
They then communicated this one by
one to the secretary, who extended
their actions on the Books. The di-
rectors then called at the office at
their convenience and signed the
minutes. Such minutes are perfectly
legal and proper and no imputation
OF guilt can be drawn from these
facts, as the court will instruct you. ''
Mr.. Talbot arrayed the list of gov
ernment witnesses who said that the
Lost Bullion property was a cave
against his own who said that it was
mine and declared that the men
who testified for the defense We're
just as numerous and worthy of
credence as those for the prosecu-
ton.
1T isn't necessary for me to speak
for Prof Linderman," he said. his
record speaks for itself Haven't we
lived here as neighbors? Has he not
been amongst us 25 years? And yet
Mr.. knaebel calls him an imbecile."
