The Biggest "Spud" Yet.

Other sections of the county may
brag all they please about their fine
vegetables but none Of them can equal
the west side of the prairie when it
comes to raising big spuds. Last
week we thought the record was
reached when Sid Brown reported
having dug out a 6-pound potato
but it wasn't On Wednesday of this
week Nick Adehm, of Greencreek,
brought to this Office for our inspec-
ton potato that weighed exactly q
ponnds and stated that it tipped the
beam at a little better than 8 pounds
when first taken from the ground.
Nick did not want the newspaper
man to be charged with manutactur-
ing big potato yarns so he brought
the pud in to prove his claims for it
and all who saw it weighed around
town will freely admit that it is the
largest potato they have ever seen.
Mr.. Adehm raised about 300 sacks
of potatoes this year and says he has
lots Of them that will weigh four and
five pounds apiece and all are nice
smooth potatoes.-Cottonwood Chro-
nicle.

HAVE NO CONTEST
Republicans Give up Idea of
ConteSting the Election.
PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN"
G. Q p. Prefers to Let Popular
Verdict Stand.

Boise. Ida, Nov 15.-Republicans
OF Fremont county have announced
that they have decided to take no
action whatever relative to the illegal
democratic ticket printed on the off
cial ballot of that county made illegal,
it is alleged, by the use of the words
"Let the people rule" printed in bold
type at the top of the democratic
tickets.
Governor Brady has declared all
along that he would not interfere in
any manner on account Of technicali-
ties, and the republicans of Fremont
county have reached a like conclusion.
"The people have spoken they
declare, sin no uncertain terms, and
we will not attempt to set their ver-
dict aside, even though we believe the
ballots are illegal. A33
They say that it would be next to
impossible, if not entirely so, to show
that any fraud was perpetrated by use
of the ballots, and without this they
are unwilling to proceed =
1t is understood that this course
has been adopted in pursuance with
the advice and consent of the state
headquarters, so that the matter may
be taken as definitely dismissed from
further consideration.

Recognizes scout.
Spokane, WASH, Nov. 1O.-W. H.
Reiter of Helena, Mont, who was a
scout uuder General O. O. Howard
during the Indian uprising in Idaho,
and Yellow Bull, chief of the Nez
Perces in the Clearwater country, met
in Spokane few days ago, the first
time since the memorable battle be-
tween Chief Joseph's warriors and the
United States troops under General
Nelson A. Miles, in 1877. Though
Yellow Bull is stone blind he recog-
nized Reiter and recalled many incl
dents of the battle of the Clearwater,
in which both participated. Reiter
was the first to give any information
Of Chief Joseph's whereabouts and
probable strength during the trouble
Of 1877, also bringing word to camp
that Joseph and his tribesman would
invade Montana by way Of the Lolo
pass. Gen. Howard refused to sta
tion soldiers at the pass and the willy
chieftain, declared by army experts to
be the ablest Indian warrior of his
time, slipped into Montana, where he
and his braves afterward surrendered
to General Miles.

Glenn gets Two Falls out Of
Three.
MATCH AGAIN FRIDAY NIGHT
Two Well Matched Men and
Hard to Guess Winner.

1t takes wrestling match to draw
the crowd and from the size of the
house that greeted johnson and Glenn
when they stepped on the mat last
Friday night it is wrestling the people
of Grangeville are interested in and do
not care a whoop for the spouting politi-
clans.
The match had been widely adver-
tisod and much comment made on the
outcome and as result interest was
very keen with the audience of over
700 people. The game was a good
one and well worth the price of ad-
mission. There was not man pre-
sent who did not get double value for
his money. From the preliminaries
to the big event, frst-class exhi-
bition was given.
A preliminary between Castle and
Keller, showed the excellent training
of the young men and was called a
draw. Young Keller certainly de-
monstrated great knowledge of the
game and while outweighed by Castle
at no time was he in any danger of
losing a fall.
Murphy and Phillips were matched
for another preliminary and the work
of Phillips was most commendable.
Murphy made a fair showing but it
was easy to see which of the two men
was the most scienced. Phillips won
both falls in short order.
Another preliminary between two
juveniles, Murphy and Holsclaw, was
called draw and this was followed
by the big event Of the evening, John
son and Glenn.
johnson has appeared on the mat
before and has always made good;
Glenn, to many was an unknown
quantity in the game, but those who
were in position to know, did not hesi-
tate to back him to finish. He is
the heavier of the two men but other
wise they are pretty well matched.
Promptly at nine forty time was
called by the time keeper and the
game was on. Glenn showed strength
and science from the beginng land it
was soon evident to the crowd that
johnson was up against the real
thing. Glenn got the first fall in
nlne minutes and twelve seconds and
the crowd cheered Justify.
Johnsons ankle was badly injured
but he was on hand when time was
again called. The game livened up
bit and johnson went at his man in
great shape and retrieved lost honors
Dy winning this fall in seven minutes
and forty seconds.
lhe third fall was won by Glenn in
just three minutes and half and at
no time did he show his power as in
the third bout
AT the close of the contest johnson
announced he would wrestle Glenn
again, barring the toe-hold, at any
'llne and Saturday terms were signed
up oy the two gentleman for match
FRIDAY, tomorrow night. the toe-hold
oarred' for purse of 500 and the
gate receipts. Both of the men are
good and it is question hard to de-
elde at this time just who will become
the champion of Idaho.
NO doubt a large crowd will be
present. Perfect order is preserved
Ano the entire affair is manly and
sentlemanly and no one need hesitate
about attending.
