NEW CASTLE TIMES

We had preaching Saturday and Sunday by our beloved preacher, Bro. McKelvey. He certainly made fine talk on temperance and the evils of the whiskey traffic in our county.
 He also organized a Ladies' Aid So- ciety, with Mrs. Jennie Horton as president, Miss Alma Pirtle, vice president; Mrs. Oliver and Miss Annie Allen, secretaries; Mrs. Webb, treas. urer. The intention of the good ladies is to raise money to install gas lights in our church, and to finish painting the building and putting mating on the floor in the els, and to visit the sick and afflicted.
 We have a prayer meeting and Sun day school at Forrest Chapel this winter that all the rain and snow and sleet has so far failed to freeze out.
 It is our sad and painful duty this week to chronicle the death of one of our neighbor boys, MT. Walter Hig- gins, the eldest son .of Mir. and Mrs. T. NJ. Higgins. The chilly hand of death was laid heavily upon him on March 7th, at o'clock am. But grieye not mother and father, broth CTS and sisters. for he left a bright and glowing message that all was we'll, and that he was going to meet his Maker Who doeth all things well. Prepare, dear family, to meet him beyond that shore where parting is no more. Walter professed Christianity on his death bed and was received into the church and baptized few days before God called him to come up higher and live with the ones that | die in the love and admonition of the Lord. We extend our heartfelt sym pathy to the bereaved family and pray that they will submit to the will of Him who makes no mistakes.
 MT. F.. L. Horton has another addition to his family It's a girl this time. Congratulations
 Our New Castle school will close in two more weeks.
 We have neighbor strayed oi stolen. He has not been seen or heard from in three weeks. A liberal re. ward will be paid for his return or in formation leading to any consolation to his family and friends. He is a candidate and hustling one too His name and description is A. T Hamilton, and if some one don't look out he will be there on March 27 when the final roll is called.

Last Saturday morning, the 5:30 passenger train on the Choctaw, east pound, ran over a negro, between Widener and Pound Pond, dragging the body one a-half miles before it was discovered The negro was lying crosswise between the ties, and the engineer supposed it to be a pile of sand. After running about one mile and a-half, the baggage master heard an unusual noise under the car, and stopped the train for investigation, and found part of body tangled in the springs. That portion of the body was carried to Round Pond, and Coroner Todd summoned. The Coro- her proceeded up the track, and suc- ceeeded in picking up about half of the body. There was no clue to his Identity, except that he was a white negro, with red hair, and was last seen in company at Widener with a black negro wearing cap. The Soroner's jury brought in verdict, death from unknown causes, believ.

Kill Many Deer.

j. G. Matthews, of Glenwood,
recently killed a large female
cougar, which means saving the
lives of a large number of deer
and other game, as it is estimat-
ed that cougar kills on an aver
age 81 deer each year or one ev-
cry week. If the animals would
stop at destroying this number
deer would be plenty, "but my
experience has been," said Mr..
Mathews, that a cougar is SIM
liar to a house cat after mice and
small game killing every deer it
can get chance at and l have
found three deer within a dis
tance of a half-mile that an old
male cougar had slain, one had
been partly eaten, the other two
not touched at all. | killed this
cougar a few hours after finding
the deer, it measuring 9 feet and
l inch. .-Kamiah Progress.

ST Wheat Again In Seattle.

A Seattle dispatch dated April
9 says: For the first time in two
years the price of wheat in
Seattle reached the dollar mark
today. Seattle millers were pay
ing 81 a bushel for No. l blue
stem and as high as 81 cents was
asked for No. l club wheat.
Only three times in the last eight
years has wheat passed the dol
lar mark in the Seattle market.
The high price of wheat in the
Pacific northwest is said to be
the result of the record-breaking
demand for -four in the orient.
Although a crop estimated at
65, ,OO0,00 bushels was harvest
ed in the three northwestern
states last year, it is said that
less than 100000 bushels re-
main.
Barley and oats are also soar
ing.

Doctor Makes Quick Trip.

DR.. Shinnick made a hurry up
trip out to the Kelsch farm east
of Greencreek Tuesday morning
in response to a. telephone cali
stating that Joe Kelsch had been
thrown from a horse and serious
ly hurt. The trip of twelve miles
was made in O. D. Simmons
auto over the rough roads in
thirty minutes and on reaching
the Kelsch home the physician
found the young man suffering
from a rather serious conclusion
of the brain. 1t seems he had
mounted a young horse without
a saddle and with only a halter
on it and when the horse started
to buck he was thrown and lit on
the back of his head. The side
of his face was also badly skin
ned and bruised but this is not
serious. At present the young
man is resting easy but it is i'm
possible to tell as yet how serious
his injuries may prove to be.

Planting Dent Corn.

Farmers of the Nez Perce and
Camas prairie sections will this
year experiment with two new
varieties of dent corn supplied by
D. E. Willard, development agent
of the Northern Pacific. The
corn is noted for its quick matu-
rity and Mr.. Willard offers the
opinion that the cultivation of
these varieties in the prairie
country will provide a profitable
crop for the summerfallow land.
Suggestion is made by Mr..
Willard that the first years crop
may not show complete maturity
but the farmers should save the
best seed from the first years
crop for the next seasons plant
ing, and that this policy should
be followed for two or three
years and thereby corn particu-
larly suited to the short seasons
of the prairie country will be de-
veloped. Prior to going to the
Northern Pacific, Mr.. Willard
was in charge of the North Da-
kota agricultural college and ex-
perimental station and devoted
much attention to the develop
ment of corn varieties suitable to
the Dakota communities.
The movement launched by the
railroad company is believed to
offer the solution to the problem
of providing suitable winter feed
for the dairy herds of the prairie
In the event the corn
does not reach maturity suitable
to being stored for dry feed, a
splendid product for the manu-
facture of ensilage will be pro-
vided and from the summerfal-
low lands, the farmer can each
year take a sufficient crop to pro-
vide the most desirable feed for
a large dairy herd. Tribune.

0'NE|L MUST
COME BACK
Banker Has Been Ex-
tradited and will be Brought
Back to Face Charges Pre-
ferred Against Him.

A Vancouver, 3. c., dispatch
dated April 9 says: Judge Grant
tonight ordered the extradition
of Bernard F. O'Neil, former
president of the State Bank of
Commerce, Wallace, Idaho,
where he is wanted on charge
of embezzlement and making
false records.
O'Neil was remanded to jail
without bail to await the arrival
of an officer from Idaho to take
him back to Wallace to stand
trial there.
Judge Grants decision, which
covered "a typewriter pages,
reviewed the evidence in detail.
I cannot say" the court said
in conclusion, that I have no
doubt of the innocence of the ac-
cused, but in the face of the
manner in which books of the
bank were kept, strengthened by
the action of the grand jury in
finding true bills and the action
of the judge in issuing criminal
warrants against the prisoner, I
feel there is ground to justify a
committal, which is all that is
needed in this case."
He added he had no doubt that
all the offenses charged came
within the extradition treaty.
O'Neil came to Vancouver in
September last and took posi-
tion with trust company. The
prosecuting attorney of Shoshone
county, Idaho, soon began pro-
ceedings for his extradition and
O'Neil was arrested on charges
OF fraud and embezzlement.
He was brought here before
Judge McInnes, but sufficient
evidence was not forthcoming
and the court held that no case
for extradition had been made
out. O'Neil was released and
took a position with a lumber
company. Several weeks ago he
was arrested again at the in
stance of the Idaho authorities,
who in the meantime had come
armed with new evidence, with
the result that he was ordered to
Wallace for trial.

"Rusty" Makes Good.

Word received recently from
George Rustemeyer, formerly
pitcher for the Cottonwood ball
team, states that he has made
good in the eyes of Bob Brown,
manager of the Vancouver team,
and will be farmed out with one
of the teams in the Twilight
league this season. Owing to the
fact that Brown had all of his
last years pitching staff with
him this spring as we'll as several
major league pitchers, all old,
experienced men, it was impos-
sible for any youngster to win a
place on the regular team, but
RUSTY" looked good enough to
keep and may win a position on
the regular team next season.
Just which team he will join in
the Twilight league is not yet
known but he will leave Van
couver shortly after May 1st for
his new berth.
In speaking of a game played
at Vancouver recently between
the regulars" and the "colts"
he stated that he pitched three
innings for the regulars and did
not allow a hit; got one hit him
self and scored, and assisted in a
double play after walking one
man. His friends hope he con-
tinues the good work and sue
ceeds in making the regular team
next season.

Shipping Much Flour.

The local flour mill loaded out
two cars of flour and feed this
week for shipment to Winchester
and Reubens and has several
cars of -four to ship to China
next month. The reputation of
cottonwood -four is becoming
known all over the country and
the mill could contract several
times it's output for the export
trade alone if it were only able
70 handle the orders in time.
It is to be hoped that the mill
viii eventually incorporate and
Increase its capital and capacity
80 as to be able to handle all the
trade it can command. A mill
of $50 or 300 barrels daily capac-
iky, employing ten or twelve men
and running double shifts would
become a valuable industry here
and would do much to hold grain
prices up to a high level.

viii Organize Fast Ball Team.

Owing to the track meet
being pulled off at the ball park
Sunday the base ball boys did
not do much trying out but a
game between two teams will be
arranged for Sunday. From
present indications and express
sions heard around town it is be-
lieved the team this year will be
composed of many of last years
players, with possibly two or
three new faces in the lineup.
Fred Lange, Cottonwood's old
standby, and the envy and fear
of our neighboring towns, will be
seen in a Cottonwood suit this
year and will amble around third
base and take an occasional turn
in the box. George Lange will.
probably play his old position at
second and Hughes will take care
of the first sack in his own good
style. The other positions are
still open to question but it is be-
lieved that in another week most
of the selections will have been
made. With Nezperce and
Grangeville each putting up a
fast team this season the citizens
of Cottonwood realize that we
will have to play as fast ball as
they did last year and most of
them are anxious to see a win
ming team put in the field.

Track Team Showing Up Well.

At the track meet held Sunday
afternoon at the ball park be-
tween the high school track team
and a team from town, the latter
consisting of several members of
last years team, the school team
won out by about eight points.
The team will go to Nezperce to-
morrow to participate in a tri-
angular meet with the Nezperce
and Grangeville teams and will
later go to Lewiston to take part
in the meet to be held at that
place on the 26th and 9th. The
boys are showing up strong in a
number of the events and hope
to make a good showing against
the other teams. Schroeder will
show up strong in the high jump
and South in the javelin throw
while Schober will be a strong
contestant in the short races,
hurdles, vaulting and broad jump.
Robertson will enter the mile
race and the relay team hopes to
be able to win again this year.
The contest will be a hard one,
however, and the boys will be
to much credit if they
hold their own with the other
teams.
The members of the home
talent troupe who put on the
play, MY Uncle From New
York; at the hall Wednesday
evening, will accompany the
track team to Nezperce tomor-
row night.
