Drunken Indians Cause Trouble,

Chris. Waldmann was placed
under arrest here Tuesday on a
charge of selling liquor to a
couple Indians, members of the
Sites ball team, and was taken
to Grangeville by County Attor-
ney Gilmore and a deputy sheriff
where he was placed under bond
and released until next week
when his preliminary hearing
will be held. Mr.. Waldmann re-
turned home yesterday morning
and states that he anticipates
very little trouble in proving his
innocence when the hearing oc-
ours.
1t seems rather queer that the
officers had to come to Cotton
wood to make the first arrest of
this kind when Grangeville and
Sites were so much nearer home.
We are informed that the Sites
bunch was pretty well loaded
when it reached town last Sun
day, and it is a we'll known fact
that several Indians of the
Kamiah team returned from
Grangeville to Cottonwood on
Sunday morning, April 25th. in
a very embarrassing condition
spiritually, one Indian in partic-
ular having six bottles of "O-be-
joyful" on his person and so
much under his belt that he
could not play his position on his
team that afternoon. They did
not get their booze" in Cotton
wood, either, but perhaps the
specs used by the minions of the
law are the long distance kind
and cannot discover things at
close range.

not think this latter act was
intended for any more than to
enable the assignee to enforce,
and under the law as it now
stands. To have a lien for ad-
yauces the landlord must make

tenant"
From this at will be seen
that, while the new law leaves
the landlord ample protection
it leaves the merchant none
at all. That this will to a con-
siderable degree modify the

LIQUOR BROUGHT FANCY PRICES.
Remnant Of Dlspensary Stock and Office
Fixtures Sold at Auction.

By authority conferred upon them

closed, also the fixtures, furniture,

There seemed to. be lively de-

the day being cold and rainy, and
some of it brought higher price IN
packages of half dozen than it sold
for at retail in the dispensaries. We
! understand that the liquor and the
Office fixtures brought about $500,
which will be added to the profit be-

The new lien Law.
Some Points Discussed That May
Interest Our Readers.

On January l, 1910, the new
lien law enacted by the General
Assembly at its last session goes
INTO eject. There seems to be
some misunderstanding or want
of understanding as to how tar
the new law repeals the old, or
how far liens will lawfully hold
under the new law. 1t remains,
of course, that the rent..for land
constitutes lien on the crop
grown upon it, and also that
the advances made by a farmer
to a tenant for the crop grown
upon his land constitute a lien
upon the crop grown on the
land, but as to whether such a
lien is transferable is a point
on which there is much disa-
greement.
A firm of eminent attorneys,
who for reasons Of their own do
not wish their names to be
known, but whose reputation is
so we'll established that its ad-
vice is unhesitatingly accepted,
has given the following inter
pretation of the law on this
point to an exchange:
"In our opinion the act Of
1909 concerning the lien law on
ly repealed the right Of an ag'
riculturalist to give a lien fol
advances made by person other
than his landlord. We think
the landlord has the right tc

Guarding a Nail.

A gentleman in Jerusalem told me
that he found a Turkish soldier on
guard in some part of the Church of
the Holy Sepulcher, where it was not
usual for a sentry to be, and inquired
of him why he was there.
He pointed to a nail in the wall and
replied, ut is my duty to watch that
nall
Asked why, he explained that the
LatinS or the Greeks-I forget which
had driven the nail with The view of
hanging a picture; that a rival sect
had furiously objected, saying that it
was an interference with their prop
erty and wanted to pull out the nail;
that thereupOn the Turkish govern
ment had INTERVIEWED and set him to
watch the nail and see that no picture
was hung upon it and that it was not
pulled out
To allow the picture to be hung
would have been to admit the claims
of those who drove In the nail. To al
low it to be pulled out would have
been to admit the claims of those who
objected to the driving in of the nail.
Therefore the nail must be preserved
and the picture must not be hung, and
TO see that this was so an armed SEN
try must watch day and night. For
aught l know he may be watching
still.-Rider Haggards "a Winter Pill

Traced by a BIuebottIe FIv.

The great objection to the use of
poison for rats is that they retire to
their homes and die there, to become
a nuisance and a menace to. health.
Friends of the writer were compelled
to have the floor and w6inscOting of
their dining room removed for this
reason. A wiser man, knowing that a
pair Of poisoned rats had got under his
floor, summoned not carpenter, but
naturalist, to his aid. They knew that
the rats were under the floor, but the
difficulty was to fix the spot There
seemed to the owner of the house no
alternative to the removal OF the
whole floor; hence his appeal to the
nature detective. The latter would
not hear of the floor coming up. He
cried out for bluebottle fly. One was
captured unhurt and turned loose In
the room. After a little preliminary
hawking the bluebottle darted to the
floor and remained on one spot, like
a pointer which has found game.
''Your rats are under there" said
the naturalist. They cut down through
that board, and there were the rats

The First Pantomime.

John Rich has the credit of produc-
ing the first pantomime ever seen in
England. This was performed on
Dec. 20, 1717, at the theater in Lin
coins Inn Fields. Rich had found him
self unable to compete with the legiti-
mate drama at Drury Lane, so he be-
thought himself of the comic Mosques
occasionally performed in London and
combined with their scenic and me-
chanical effects the maneuvers of the
pantomime ballet. The result was
Harlequin Executed" which the ad-
vertisement Of that day described as
ga new Italian mimic scene, between
a scaramouch, harlequin, a country
farmer, his wife and Others" There
was all the business with which we
were familiar from childhood, huts
turned into palaces, shops into gar
dens, houses into trees. OF course the
earnest student of the drama" pro-
tested against this innovation, but
Harlequin, Columbine & Co. have
maintained their hold on public favor
until the present year of grace.

The mere announcement that next
Monday evening "The Wolf will be
presented at the Winchester Theatre,
will undoubtedly serve to attract an
audience that will fill our cosy opera
house to overfowing. "The Wolf"
comes to us with the hearty endorse
ment Of the critics of New York and
Chicago where it enjoyed long and
prosperous runs, and will be rendered
here with wonderfully strong cast
and elaborate stage settings, precise
ly the same in every detail which led
to its success in the two great me-
tropohtan cities.
The piece tells a story of life of
the Hudson Bay country, and intro
duces types of characters that any
one familiar with that section will
readily recognize.
Seats will be placed on sale next
Friday morning at Martin and Cooks
