Evening.

The first political speech of
the campaign to be delivered in
Cottonwood was made Saturday
evening at the Odd Fellow hall
when Hon. James H. Brady, re-
publican candidate for governor,
addressed one of the largest
gatherings that has ever assem-
bled at an occasion of this kind
in this city. Mr.. Brady is quite
a fluent talker and he held the
close attention of his large audi
ence for nearly two hours. Mr..
Brady announced himself as
being strongly in favor of the
primary election law and stated
that if elected he would do all in
his power to give the state a
clean business administration.
He is in favor of state influence
being used to secure the building
of a north and south railroad and
says he believes in welcoming
capital to our state and giving ii

Another Big Real Estate Deal.

w. L. Brown closed a big real
estate deal Saturday when he
sold $40 acres of his farm land
north of Ferdinand to Lloyd Col
lier for $11, 300, or $35 per acre.
In the deal Mr.. Brown took over
Mr.. Golfers 200-acre farm east
of town for 81, 900, receiving the
balance in cash. This purchase
gives Mr.. Collier an exception
ally fine farm and one he has
long wished to acquire. The
place has an abundance of good
water and pasture and some 260
acres of excellent farm land.
Mr.. Brown still owns 200 acres
of land near Ferdinand which he
will sell when he gets the right
price for it.

He Gave The Band $50.

While Hon. J. H. Brady was
coming to Cottonwood Saturday
from Grangeville with party of
friends he noticed a big bass
drum strapped onto the back end
of the rig. On asking what it
meant he was informed of the
fire here, which destroyed nearly
all the band instruments, and
was told that the drum was
being brought over for the use
of the local band that evening in
providing music for the political
meeting. Mr.. Brady said no
more, but that evening he open
ed his address with a few words
about the incident and then
handed Mr.. Modem $50 to be
used in procuring new instru-
ments and music for the band.
To say that the gift was ac-
ceptable is putting it mild, and
Mr.. Brady will have the heartiest
thanks of the band members for
all time to come because of his
generous gift.

SHOOTS JESSUP
THROUGH EAR
Two Greencreek Farmers Quarrel
Over Hogs and L. A. Reed Gets
Bad Beating From Man He
Tries to Kill.

A quarrel, which arose over
the penning up of some hogs, oc-
Cured Tuesday morning near
Greencreek and resulted in Ed.
Jessup getting shot through the
right ear and in l.. A. Reed get
ting severe beating. It seems
Jessup's hogs have been running
at large lately and got into
Reeds field several times. Reed
promptly penned them them up
and claimed damages from Jes-
sup. Monday the hogs were
shut up again by Reed and word
sent to Jessup. On Tuesday
morning Jessup and his brother
in-law went after the recreant
porkers and trouble ensued.
Jessup claims he asked Reed
for the hogs and was told he
could have them on paying $6
damages. Jessup said alright
and to turn the hogs out, but
Reed refused. Jessup then said
for Reed to turn the hogs out or
he (Jessup) would cut down the
fence and let them out himself.
Picking up an axe from the wood
pile he started toward the pen
when Reed is said to have jump
ed in front of him and fired a re-
volver pointblank in his face, the
bullet passing through his ear
and the powder burning his face.
Jessup dropped the axe, he says,
and clinched Reed, throwing the
latter to the ground, where he
proceeded to give him a good
beating. Reed claims Jessup
knocked him down with the fiat
side OF the axe and that he shot
at Jessup from the ground.
After the fight Jessup went to
Grangeville and had Reed arrest
ed for shooting him, Sheriff
Brown coming over Wednesday
and taking Reed back to the
county seat. Reed came to Cot
tonwood Tuesday afternoon and
swore out warrants for Jessup's
arrest on charges of assaulting
him and Mrs. Reed. Jessup was
released under $500 bonds and
his hearing will occur Monday,
at which time the true facts of
the case will perhaps be made
clear.

Another Big Crop Report.

Speaking of big crop yields, E.
D. Lamb, residing north of town,
reports the largest yield of wheat
yet mentioned on this side of the
prairie this year. Mr.. Lamb had
the old Harris farm, now the
property of Felix Warren, the
veteran Lewiston stage man, in
crop this year and from AZ acres
sown to fall wheat he threshed
2, los bushels, machine measure.
This is five bushels more than so
bushels to the acre and Mr..
Lamb says that had the grain
been threshed before the rain,
so as to permit of thorough
cleaning up of the settings, the
grain would easily have yielded
IS bushels to the acre. This is
an enormous yield and we have
heard of none to equal it this
year.
Quite a record was made in
threshing this crop also as the
entire 21O5 bushels were thresh-
ed by A. B. Clayton, of Denver,
in exactly eight hours and first
class job was done, too.

Band Will Reorganize.

The local brass band is prepar-
ing to reorganize for the winter
and will soon be in shape to dis
pense some excellent music.
The munificent gift of Hon. ].
H. Brady has put them in shape
to secure the necessary instru-
ments destroyed by the fire and
if the business men will only
subscribe enough money each
month to defray the running ex-
penses all will be well. Several
new musicians have located here
since the fire and this assures us
a band that will be credit to
towns many times the size of
Cottonwood. w. F. Peterson
informs us he will instruct the
band if the business men will
subscribe enough to cover the
expense for rent, fuel, light,
etc., and this certainly shoulc
not be hard to do. Dig up what
you can afford when the sub.
scription paper reaches you and
let us have a band again.

A. J. Robinson writes us to for
ward his paper to Livingston, Cal,
where he expects to locate. He
says that is a fine irrigated section
of the San Joaquin valley and gives
promise of an exceptional develop
ment.
Quite a few more railroad labor
ers were brought up this week to
assist with the work on the prairie
line and there are now more than
40 men engaged in laying the
track across the prairie to Grange
vile. The railroad company is
rushing the work so as to get the
road completed before bad weather
sets in.
The city board met in regular
session Monday evening and ap-
pointed N. G. Bartlett as trustee
to succeed J. o. Short, resigned.
The board also ordered all gamb-
ling stopped in the city and notice
to this effect was served at once,
with the result that m ost of the
green cloth gentry departed the
next day for more open pastures.
