Trial. Orc hard's Story Is the
Wonder of All.

q. B. Thomas and +. "A. Shaw Of Boise,
Idaho, were in town several days this
week, leaving Wednesday for Spokane
and COeur d d'Alene before returning to

pany near Boise, an irrigation district
that liz attracting considerable attention
The lands around Boise are very valu-
able. Once sage brush plain, irriga-
tion and cultivation have transformed
it into one of the beauty spots in nature,
where flowers bloom, fruit grows to per-
lection and comfortable homes are every
where seen. Boise is said to be one Of
the most beautiful inland cities on the
continent, possessed of every modern
convenience and up-to date in every re-
spect. Sunnyside promises to be an
other such beauty spot. The country in
all south Idaho is settling up very fast,
and lands that were worthless a few
years ago, under the impulse OF irriga-
tiOn are fast becoming the homes of a
thrifty and contented class of people.

There is but one sentiment among the
citizens of Boise and of southern Idaho,
and that is that the accused man shall
have fair and impartial trial The
jury is composed of intelligent and fair
minded men, and no one doubts that
a just verdict will be rendered. Judge

her parents who objected to their
marriage over 75 years ago, and who
was lost sight OF by him until about six
months ago, when she chanced to read
In her home paper an article in regard to

followed and they are to be married az
aforesaid. Mr.. Bundren ia a wealthy
man and intends to pay all expenses of
anyone over 80 years old who will
attend the reunion. The bride will be
100 years old on her wedding dav.
Many men and women over 90 years of
age will attend, which will constitute a
notable gathering. And it is to be
hoped that nothing will prevent Messrs.
Patterson and Ellis attending, who,
though nearing the century mark, are
hale physically and sound mentally.
Their relatives in COlfax may well cherish
this event with feelings of pride.
Mrs. Hale and Mr.. Berry, it should be
stated, were former residents Of Cedar

SERIOUS RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Commissioner Ripley Has Hip
Broken and DisIocated.

County Commissioner J. R. Ruplay met
with serious accident Friday Of last
week which will cOnfine him to his home
for long time. He had hitched up
team of horses preparatory to driving to
the country from his home in Pullman,
when the horses commenced to run, com
ing down the steep grade from the Rup-
ley place at terrific speed. In turning
the corner of Spring street the horses
struck a telephone pole, throwing the
county commissioner out of the vehicle
across both sidewalk and fence, landing
him at least % feet from where they
struck. The fall broke the bone Of the
right leg just below the hip and dislo-
Gated thelhip joint. Mr.. Rupley was at
once taken to bis home and the injured
limb cared for 1t is thought that no
permanent injury will result, but his re
cOvery will be slow and tedious. Mr..
Rupley's many friends will read with re-
gret Of this serious mishap, but will be
glad to know that recovery is only
matter of time.

THE RIDGEWAY RECITAL.

Daughter of the PaIouse.

Daughter of the PaIouse.
The Ridgeway Theater was crowded
last Friday evening with the friends of
Miss katherine Ridgeway when she ap-
peared in recital, her program being a
varied one. The versatility of this gifted
reader is wonderful and she takes her
hearers with her as readily with her bril-
liant humOr as with her deepest pathos
Her genius is of a rare quality, and add
ed to the emotions which her selections
call forth, there is in a Colfax audience
always that of love and pride for this
brilliant daughter of the Palouse coun-
try. The selection christmas On the
Farm" touched a responsive chord in
the hearts OF most of her hearers, and
there were few who could restrain their
tears. Wonderfully true to life were
many other numbers, notably "Hs
Mothers Boy" cat the Supper Table"
and "The Ironing Board" Shouts of
laughter we're called forth by "Rules Is
Rules, Her Speech" and others, and
the evening was one of genuine enjoy
ment. The COlfax Band furnished excel
lent music at intervals. At the close of
the program there was enthusiastic ap-
plause, which continued until Miss Ridge
way appeared and in her usual earnest
and graceful manner thanked her friends
Tor their appreciation.
