POULTRY MEN ELECT.

ty Poultry association, held last
Saturday at the office of County
Treasurer Rice, the following Of
ficers were elected for the ensu-
ing year: Frank S. Rice, presi-
dent; j. A. Bradbury, vice presi-
dent; G. S. Smith, secretary and
treasurer; Kid Smith, manager /;
Herbert Rothwell, director for
three years.
There is a strong undercurrent
of interest being manifested by
the members of the association
and the local poultry breeders,
that bids well to make the Ida
no County Poultry Association
one of the permanent and well
known organizations of the kind
in Central Idaho, and it should
receive the hearty cooperation
and support of all, that its influ-
ence may the better be felt.

LAND $50 PER ACRE.

VIM. Wagner closed a deal the
fore part of the week for the sale
of the Gales farm of 200 acres
southeast of town to Conrad Sey-
Her of Munster, Texas, for $16,-
600, or $50 an acre. This is one
of the choice farms of this Sec
ton and the price paid for it
shows how valuable good farm
land has become in this vicinity.
The price paid by Mr.. Seyller is,
we believe, the highest price paid
for a farm of this size in the his
tory of the county, although there
are farmers of this neighborhood
who would refuse to part with
their places for considerably more
than the above figures. The next
few years, we believe, will see
farm land go to the 800 mark

CASON-HENDRY.

Miss Pearl Cason and George
Hendry were united in marriage
in this city at five o'clock on
Wednesday evening at the home
of the brides parents, the cere-
mony being performed by Rev.
Hitchcock, of the Presbyterian
church. 1t was a quiet home we'd
ding, witnessed only by the i'm
mediate members of the family,
and devoid of ostentation or
show.
The bride is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. w. G. Cason, of this
city, a young lady of many fine
qualities and lady-like attributes,
who during her brief residence
in this city has won many warm
an1. lasting friends. For the past
number of months she has held a
clerkship with Fosters where
she clearly demonstrated her abil
ity as a saleslady. The groom is
chef at the Arlington Hotel,
where he has made good in every
respect. This wedding is the cul-
mination of a courtship which is
said to have begun a number of
years ago in Oregon. The young
couple will at once go to house

tian Sunday school was one of
the cleanest and most interesting
exhibitions seen on the local floor
this season. From the first
whistle it was one continuous
performance of passing, skilful
blocking, clever team work, and
basket shooting The high school
girls had the edge on the boys
in height and weight, but this adj
vantage was counterbalanced by
the superior speed and staying
qualities of the boys. The high
school girls have developed an
article of ball that would enable
them to represent ereditably the
high school of a much larger city
than Grangeville. 1t would be
an injustice to the remainder of
the players to single out the in
dividual stars of either team, as
all were playing in stellar form.
The high school was success
fully represented, the score be-
ing 13 to IL in favor of the girls,
by the Misses Irving, Mcdonald,
Parsons, Parker and Peeblse /;
while George Murphy, Bob Bur-
lingame, Harold Genger, Jesse

WEsTLAKE.

Special meetings wree held at
Westlake commencing on the 1st
of January and ending on the
10Th, resulting in five conversions
besides five renewing their alleg-
lance to Christ and the church j;
all of which gave their names in
to the church at Westlake.
The revival was conducted by
Rev. w. A. McMurray, of the
First Congregational church of
this place, aided by Rev. Ira l..
Crooks of the Methodist church
in Grangeville. A splendid treat
was enjoyed by all in the way of
good sermons, well illustrated
truths and spiritual fervor and
power.
The interest and the crowd in
creased with each succeeding
evening and the eternal results
will never be known in this life.
Church life has been strength
ened and the neighborhood morals
received an impetus that will be
felt for many day. All of which
intensifies life and strengthens
the individual character. All the
neighborhood desires to join in
their thanks to Rev. Crooks for
his loving service.

BOUND OVER TO.
HIGHER COURT.
Tom Davis Held In $75OBo
by Judge Woodward,
Lyons Released.

In the cases of Tom Davis and
Charles Lyons, charged with as
sault with deadly weapons, which
were up before Judge Woodward
the first of the week, Lyons was
released and Davis was held to
appear before the district court
under a bond fixed at $3.50.
Davis and Lyons are the two
men who had difficulty with
Fred and Joe Davis on the 10th
of last month, at the Cape Horn
mine ON the Salmon river near
White Bird, in which 30-30
Winchester was said to have been
freely and recklessly used. Davis
and Lyons came out to Grange
vile the day of the difficulty and
entered complaint against the two
Davis brothers, charging them
with shooting at them. Later
they asked to have the hearing
changed from before Judge Vine
yard to Judge Woodward. This
was agreed to by Prosecutor
Griffith and j. M. Gilmore, at
torney for the defense, but pend
ing the change Davis and Lyons
secured their horses from the liv-
cry barn and struck out for the
Salmon river brakes, refusing to
stay their flight either for phone
messages from the sheriff's Of
flee or harken to the deputies
who undertook to intercept them
on the way.
At this turn of affairs, Fred
and Joe Davis, through their at
torney got busy, and swore out
a warrant for Tom Davis and
Charles Lyons, on a charge of
assault with deadly weapon, an,
they were followed and brought
back by Sheriff Overman, and
on this charge was the hearing
had the first of the week. The
contempt case against the two
seems to have been dropped. In
this case Prosecutor Griffith and
j. M. Gilmore appeared for the
state and A. S. Hardy for the de-
fense.
