Finds for Defendants in Trespass
Case.

In the case of VIM. Campbell vs.
John and Frank Graham. tried be
fore Probate Judge Hammell last
Monday, a judgement vas T endered
for the defendants and the costs as
sessed against the plaintiff.
The action vas brought to recover
damages for trespassing stock. The
proof of the plaintiff was deemed
not sufficient to show that he had a
lawful fence surrounding his pre-
misses and the court was compelled,
therefore, to fnd against him. The
judgment carried with it an order for
the return Of the stock impounded.
Attorney A. A. Holsclaw rep
resesented the plaintiff and Mitchell
& Parsons conducted the defense for
the Grahams.

Many Enjoy Turkey Shot.

A number Of citizens vent from
Nezperce last Saturday to take ia
the turkey shoot on the Witcher
farm, just south Of John Deans
ranch. They found a goodly bunch
OF shooters gathered in from all
around that neighborhood and they
also found that if they carried home
any birds some pretty fair marks
manship would have to be shown.
Most Of the shooting vas done
With rifles at 90 yards. and one Of
the gentlemen in the country drove
tack in the center Of the bulls
eye at that distance. The second
best shot vas made by a represen-
tative Of the town bunch, however,
when he tipped the head of the
tack, but the turkeys we're all left in
the country, the town boys bringing
home ducks and geese.
Considering the disagreeableness
Of the day, the turnout was good.
Some 90 geese, IS turkeys and IS
ducks we're put up and all taken be-
fore evening.
There is 4 talk Of arranging a
shoot Of this sort for about the mid
die of December and bringing II
closer to town. We believe Il would
be q success.

Al the regular meeting of the city
council Monday night the matter of
street paving was discussed at some
length and II was finally decided to
have this work done in future by con-
tract,and a bid submitted byMessers.
Hesion, Brooke and Butler was ac-
cepted, they to crush and deliver
the rock upon the streets, in the
same manner as on Maple street and
Fifth avenue, at S2.2s per load.
They are now at work macadamizing
Oak street between Fourth and Fifth
avenues. and will later, sc under
stand, cover this street through to
the depot.
The macadamizing thus far done
looks good and We delieve will. at
least for a long time to come, settle
the serious problem which came up
on those streets every time season
Of soft weather struck us.

ment Tuesday Night.


At the entertainment given by the
pupils of ST. Anthony's school at the
opera house in this city last Tues
day evening the young entertainers
certainly did honor to themselves
and the Sisters who drilled them.
Even the smaller childred carried
their parts With a surprising ease
aid self-possession that would have
done credit to their elders. Each
number on the program vas good;
2 fact thoroughly attested by the
generous applause received.
Such entertainments are most
commendabls- They bring the
parent in closer touch with what his
child is doing-what he really can
do. and the training is very bene-
fetal in helping round-out the child's
nature. It makes him more self
reliant and selfpossessed among
strangers.
The program vas as follows:

entire school.
