BUSINESS men HAVE
SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED
Leave the City Quietly Owing Many Bills
and Creditors are Uneasy

G. B. Granger and Fred Raines,
two we'll known local business men
who conducted barber shop. near
beer establishment and horse mar
ket, have disappeared from the city.
leaving many creditors to mourn
their sudden departure.
Granger took eight horses away
with him about two weeks ago and
he told one of his employees that he
was going to take them to pasture,
but It has been discovered that he did
not do that and instead he probably
sold them, He returned after being
absent for several days and left again
last Thursday with three horses and
has not been heard from since.
Raines departed to unknown reg
ions yesterday, taking with him the
last horse that the firm owned.
Raines' wife is reported as stating
that her husband had gone to Canada
and Mrs. Granger left the city few
days ago.
The reason advanced for their de-
parture is that they owed 500 on the
barber shop furniture which Is mort
gagged and they were unable to pay II
and in addition to this amount they
owed probably close to a total of
$4,000 in small debts from fifty to
four and five hundred dollars each
and being unable to meet these obli-
cations they decided to seek better
climate.
Many creditors OF the men have
visited the barber shop and near
beer establishment OF the departed
men today and to say that they are
not in the best OF humor would be
putting it lightly.

DEAD
THIS MORNING
Had Gone to Chicken Coop to Close
the Doors For the Night and Did
Not Return to the House.

Mrs. NJ. c. Russell, who resided
with her husband at 1911 Third
street, was found dead in her yard
at five-thirty this morning by Henry
E. Morrison, who lives in the house
next to Mrs. Russell.
Mrs. Russell had been suffering
from rheumatism for some time and
last evening about eight O'Clock a
neighbor had talked with her over
the telephone and she stated that she
was feeling better than she had for
some time. After this conversation
she had evidently started for the
chicken coop to close the door for the
night. as was her custom about that
time in the evening. and before
reaching II she expired in the yard.
never to arise again. 1t is possible
that the rheumatism had affected her
heart and that she died of heart
failure.
Mr. Morrison. who discovered the
body, was in his yard about fiye-thirv
this morning and he noticed that
Mrs. Russell's chickens were loose
and as 1t was very unusual for her to
let them out in the morning so early.
he looked into her yard and there
saw the body OF the deceased.
Mr.. Russell was at Wallace but
will return this evening. The de-
parted lady has no children TO mourn
her loss. and is survived by her hus-
band and many dear friends.

can nomination for governor, arrived
in town at O'Clock last evening. AFT
ter hard automobile trip from
Grangeyille. which place he left early
in the morning. He was accorded a
rousing reception at the Bollinger
hotel in the evening.
Although as "Barney's, car drew
up In front OF the hotel he and those
constituting his party were covered
with dust and CRIME until they were
scarcely recognizable, his characteris-
tic smile was still with him, and he
greeted those who had congregated
at the hotel awaiting his arrival with
the same hearty. jolly good nature
which seems to always mark the man.
Mr.. O'Neit said that he hard spent
"a comparatively quiet Sunday at
Grangeville, where he had gone after
his visit to Nez Perez, Vollmer and
lilo. He was especially delighted
with the heartiness with which he
was received at Grangeville and the
towns between that place and Lewis
ton on his trip. Before he had finish
ed his dinner the lobby of the hotel
was crowded with his old-time friends
and admirers, as well as those who
we're anxious to meet the man, and
express their views of the issues Of
The campaign.
Reception Line Is Formed.
At $3.50 the crowd had become so
large that it was necessary for Mr..
O'Neil to take his position in the re-
ception room, and have those desiring
to meet him pass in order, so that
those who had assembled might have
an opportunity OF shaking hands with
the man whose smile will not shave
off.

stiff or formal in the reception, and
the jolly good humor that seemed to
prevail evidenced that support he
was receiving from the people in this
part of the state was of real whole
souled nature.

Behind these strikes is the cause for
the action-insufficient pay to meet the
high prices of foodstuffs. In other words,
wages have not kept pace with the grow
ing increases noted in the prices of nearly
all the necessities of life.
In striking contrast to these attempts
looking to a peaceful settlement of the
difficulties is the attitude assumed by the
belligerent strikers of Philadelphia and
the headstrong officials of the traction
