A High Priced Melon.

The following story is told on
one OF the farmers of this vicin-
Ilty and its truthfulness is vouch-
ed for. One day last week the
farmer was coming to town with
a load of barley and met a fruit
peddler on the road. Having
experienced much dry weather
and acquired a large sized thirst
the farmer felt like wetting his
whistle with the juice of a nice
water melon. Having no change
with him he offered to trade a
sack of barley for the melon but
the peddler objected on the
grounds that he had no use for
the grain. The farmer then Of
tered two sacks of barley for the
melon and the trade was made.
The peddler later brought the
barley to the local mill where it
was put on the scales and found
to weigh 200 pounds. AS the
price at that time was ninety
cents the peddler got $1.8O for
his melon.

Young Thomas Held.

Fred Thomas, the sixteen-year
old boy charged with the murder
of Hugh Laverty at Tramway,
had his preliminary last week
and was held to the district court
without bail. The boy was ap-
parently Indifferent to the grav7
ity of the charge under which he
rested, and showed little interest
in the evidence introduced by the
state during the preliminary.
Thomas at no time has denied
the killing of Laverty but has
claimed that he was taken to the
Laverty home by robbers and
when Hugh Laverty returned to
the house he was grasped by the
back of the neck by one of the
men and thrust into the doorway
with instructions to kill Laverty
or have a bullet sent through his
own brain. This story was told
by Thomas a few minutes after
the shooting but was generally
discredited in the community
where the tragedy was enacted.
During the preliminary the
state offered evidence to show
that Thomas was in the act of
robbing the Laverty home when
Hugh Laverty Unexpectedly re-
turned and to prevent being
taken on the robbery charge,
Thomas shot Laverty as he was
approaching the house. The
state also offered evidence to
show that the boy had been in
he habit of pilfering from the |
ranches and mining properties of
he neighborhood. --Grangeville

Owing to the slowness with
which the returns are coming in
from the smaller precincts it is
impossible to give the exact
county vote at this time but be-
low we give the returns as far as
known on the different competi-

On the democratic ticket Cas-
ady has received S55 votes for
state representative; Parker, 488;
Moore, 997; and Stephens, S88.
For commissioner of the first

and Pettibone 389. For auditor
Bradbury has 248 first choice
votes and 67 second choice; Ram
bo, 145 first and 194 second;

which leaves this office still un-
