Young Miner Dead from Accident

Rudolph White, a young min
ing man of the Deer Creek sec
ton, died at Winchester late last
week from the result of wounds
received while hunting on Deer
Creek a couple of weeks ago.
White was out hunting grouse
with Frank Lorang, the two. be-
ing short distance apart. On
going to a certain point where
they were to meet, Lorang found
White lying at the bottom of a
cliff of rock, where he had
fallen, and discovered that he
had been shot. White was un-
conscious and it is not known
how he met with his accident.
A physician was soon summoned
from Winchester and White was
later taken to the hospital at that
place, but he never regained con-
sciousness and died a few days
later from his injuries. One of
the shots entered his brain at the
temple and another lodged in his
forehead. White was about 25
years of age and was a German.
His right name is said to be
Yacht. He was connected with
the Deer Creek Mining Co. and
is said to have relatives in Ohio.

hall next Wednesday evening.

Good Yield OF Corn.

days of this week. He states ne
lust completed the husking of
ten acres of corn he had out on
his ranch on the Salmon and the
Weld was easily fifty bushels to
the acre. The ears are first-class,
solid, we'll filled and fully matur-

cessful crop of corn Mr.. Elfers

Herman Stein A Suicide. !.

Herman Stein. a bachelor re-
siding on the south side of Law
Yer canyon north of Winona,
committed suicide one day last
week and was later found hang
ing in a shed joining his house
by a neighbor who went to his
home to see him about some cat
tie. Stein was about fifty years
of age and was very peculiar in
his actions and thought to be
slightly demented at times. He
was taken to Grangeville last
summer and examined as to his
sanity but as his irrational spells
only occurred from time to time
ne happened to be free frcm
them at the time when examine d
and was released.
In committing suicide Stein
tied a rope around a rafter in
the shed and then placed the
loop around his neck with the
knot at the back of his neck.
He then fastened his hands to
his body and kicked the box out
from under his feet and swung
into eternity. He was discover
ed by q man to whom he had
sold some cattle, who notified
the authorities.

mas been an interested visitor al
the livestock show, and through
his representative, H. J. Grossly
purchased about $1,000 worth OF
pure bred stock. Included in
these purchases were a stallion
and five pure bred mares for
which he paid $6575, the figure
paid for the stallion being the
largest price ever brought by a
yearling. The figure was $l7Oo.
In the hog department, the firm
made a number of purchases of
the pest animals shown there.
This fine stock will be shipped

which embraces over. 3, 900 acres.
MIR. Wren stated last evening
that he had enjoyed very much
the livestock exhibition and was
pleased with the opportunity af-
forded him to secure the type of
animals he desired. Mr.. Wren
stated that the work of improv-
ing the big farm along many
lines is now receiving attention
and that it is the purpose to
stock it only with the best grade
OF animals. The stock will be
raised for use on the farm, only
the surplus being marketed, the
plan being to grow about thirty
colts a year. The erection of
new barns and equipment for
properly handling the various
lines of livestock is receiving at
tention and the lands will all be
enclosed by the best type of steel
wire fencing. Another phase of
improving the tract provides for
leveling it through the eliminat-
ing of ravines at points and MAX
ing possible the convenient oper-
alton of farm machinery practic-
ally over any part of the cult
vated areas.
"The purchases made here at
the livestock show" said Mr..
Wren, are simply in line with
our policy to secure the best.
We believe inferior breeds should
have no place on the tract. This
applies as we'll even to chickens.
| do not like scrub stock in any
line.
The past year or so there has
been little activity in railroad
building and Mr.. Wren has spent
a good deal of his time at the big
ranch. He is a lover of fine live
stock and takes pleasure in the
work now receiving attention to
make the Camas prairie ranch a
model one. Saturdays Tribune. v

Mothers Presence at Christmas.

THE merry bells may jingle in the good old fashioned
way;
In merment we mingle, with the music holding sway;
The "Gloria in Excesis" is sounding everywhere
But really 'tsn't Christmas, if mother isn't there.
She hangs newer halo round the mistletoe on high;
spirit of bravado drives away the weary sigh
For sorrow is no mistress and life lets 60 its fear,
Amid the joys of Christmas when mother dear. is here
The fire upon the hearthstone lights up with rdder glow
The laughter is more mrthsome, bubbling forth with
frOic flow;
The Christ.Chid truly comes to us, in all His heavenly
cheer,
tbe advent of old Christmas finds mother, aso here.
