prince of spenders' in the cities OF
the Southern Atlantic seaboard. This
seeming millionaire endeared himself
to the heart OF hotel mattresses. bell
boys and chauffeurs by passing out
500 bills as though they were cigar
coupons. Nothing was too good for
him; nothing too expensive, and at
every turn of the hand he was ready
with a huge bank roll to reward the
favors he asked of others.
Early in his wanderings he turn
ed UP in Atlanta. where in few short
days he distributed sufficient money
to make him known throughout the
continent. He presented a lady man
ieure with 1900 bank note for the
pleasure Of her company during, a
taxi cab ride. and tipped the chauf-
feur with the comparatively moderate
sum of S1e0. The waiter who served
his table received $50 after each meal,
as an incentive to prompt service. y

becoming acquainted In Washington
with Miss Audrey Kelsey, who later
consented to share the young spend

In March he went 10 Europe, where,
he was easily traiied by the readiness
win whfeh he dispensed his spoits.
on June he sailed for Quebec. where
he spent several days in sightseeing.
A little later Carmichael, with a reck-
lessness that had characterized his
course after the theft. went To Buff
falo. He was arrested In Buffalo on
+ June 81. and few days later was
married to young woman who came
on from Washington for the pur-
pose.
Inasmuch as Lee has confessed his
guilt, 1t Is expected that the trial to-
morrow will reach short duration and

Idaho County Goes Wet Aeain
nov Dy rry Two Years Trial of Local nhon Ia
Brought Back Six Deer.

Quite a few of our citizens
dined on venison Sunday as the
result of the return of Dick Has
kin, Roy Morris and Bob Cone
from a successful deer hunt up
on Slate Creek. The boys were
in there for about a week before
they got back into the deer coun-
try but when they did they got
all the law allowed them in one
day. After moving camp from
the Cone ranch to a point near
the forks of Slate Creek the boys
jumped bunch of nine deer one
morning and got six out Of the
bunch. one being a nice doe that
dressed 235 pounds. Two were
bucks and the boys brought their
heads out for mounting. One
was a four prong head and the
other a five prong but neither
were very large.
The boys cared more for the
glory of the kill than for the
meat and divided literally with
their friends and we can bear
witness that the meat was first
class and almost as good as if we
had killed it ourself.
John Struck also killed fine
buck across Salmon river Satur-
day and brought the head out the
first of the week to send it away
to be mounted. 1t is a beautiful
5-point head, one of the best we
have ever seen. and will make an
elegant trophy when nicely
mounted. Mr.. Struck killed the
deer on the west side of the river
and saw several at the time he
jumped the big buck but was out
for a nice set of horns and GER
tainly got them.

Won First Prize On Barley.

VIM. VonBerge, of Grangeville
who owns a fine farm near Fem,
received word the first of the
week that he had won first prize
on the barley exhibited by him
at the brewing, mailing and bar
ley congress now being held in
Chicago. The prize amounts to
$3.50. The VonBerge barley was
entered in competition with the
best barley from all parts OF the
United States.
In discussing his winnings Mr..
VonBerge stated that the yield
from a sixty acre field averaged
40 bushels to the acre and that
the barley placed on exhibition
was taken from this lot. The
winning of such a prize will at

Select Men For Road Commits
SionerS.

At the meeting held in this
city last Saturday for the pur-
pose of selecting three men to
serve as commissioners of the
Cottonwood Highway District the
following were selected for the
position: Riley Rice, E. d. Lamb
and ]. F. Jenny. After the Sc
lection was made those present
at the meeting signed a petition
asking Governor Hawley to make
the appointments and as soon as
this is done things will be in
shape to begin business in this
district. There will probably be
no work done until spring but
when the roads get dry in the
spring work will be commenced
in earnest and we hope to see
some great changes in our high
ways hereabouts within the next
few years. By expending prac-

We wonder if the high price of
barley this fall had any bearing
on the wet vote Wednesday.
Lon Rhoades, who formerly
lived near this place for a num-
Der of years, was brought to the
home of his brother, Lee, in this
city the first of the week from
Spokane where he has been for
some time taking treatment for
his health. He is thought to be
suffering from Bright's disease
and is in very poor health. His
many friends hereabouts hope
for his speedy and complete re-
covery.
All records for prices paid for
barley or the prairie this season
were broken this week when w.
L. Crawford, local buyer for M.
H. Houser, purchased the Willis
Turner crop, paying $1.75 per
hundred for it. We understand
the crop consisted of about one
thousand sacks. Practically all
of the barley in this section has
been sold except the JOS. Arnzen
crop east of Greencreek. which,
we are told, is being held for
two cents.
