tions of Oregon where he suspected
Rockwell might appear, and then
learned that he had come to Lewiston.
Alkus arrived here one week ago, and
conferred with the sheriff. Informa-
tion secured in Lewiston led the de-
tective to Charleston, and upon arriv
ing there Alkus found his man had de-
parted for parts unknown the previous
day.
Inquiry was made among train Of
ficials, and man answering Rock
well s description was learned to have
departed for Kamiah. Alkus fastened
there, aud learned that the man sup
posed to be Rockwell had applied for
and received work at the Rawson lum-
ber camp, located at Caribel. When
accosted there by Deputy Quinlan, who
had been called from Grangeville to
make the arrest, and the Burns opera
tive, adams denied being the man
wanted. With a search made of his
belongings, however, lot of papers
the detective claimed were of an in
eliminating nature were uncovered, and
several fictitious names added to that
already assumed.
The swindle carried out on the Ore
gon bank was through friendship dis
played for Rockwell by one of the
officers. Detective Alkus stated that
one of the practices put to work by
Rockwell in carrying on his operations
was that of visiting a town and plac-
ing on deposit at the local bank sum
never exceeding $40, which was always
made subject to check, thus procuring
a deposit book. In order to cash the
checks after his original deposit had
been withdrawn within a few cents,
enough being allowed to remain to hold
the deposit book, Rockwell would add
figures enough to make his deposit APP
pear to run into the hundreds. and upon
seeking to cash check, if doubt was
encountered, he would invariably dis
play his deposit book with the doctored
amount of deposit, resulting in most
attempts to cash checks while without
sufficient funds being successful.
Detective Alkus stated yesterday
that Rockwell up to four years ago had
resided in Lewiston. The detective
further stated that the man had de
serted his 1s-year.old daughter in Sa
lem.

OFF TO SEVEN DEVILS
Hunting Party Leaves for Rough Coun-
try This Week.

Ever since the report of the success
Of the westside hunting party who suc-
ceeded in killing four hundred pound
buck in the Seven Devils country,
there has been a longing on the part
of Grangeville hunters to make an ex-
pedition into that wild country and see
what they might do in the way of lay
ing low the fleet-footed venison. On
Wednesday of this week things came
to close and a party headed by Hem
ry Hesterman left for that section to
enjoy weeks sport and attempt to
bring back buck that will tip the
beam at just a little more than did tho
four hundred pound monarch killed by
the westside party several weeks ago.
The party which includes besides Hes
terman the following young men, Mar
ion Webber, Bert and Albert Schnel,
George Carter, Frank Gillett and Les
lie Tilly, is well supplied for the long
journey and the hardships, for it viii
be necessary to cover forty some miles
to reach the hunting grounds and some

Spoke at Commercial Club Dinner.

Among the guests at the commercial
club dinner this week was Charles
Liftchild, gentleman of Spokane, who
favored those present with some re-
marks that were well worthy of thought
and reflection by citizens of Grange
vile. Mr.. Liftchild, who for a time
was active in the commercial club of
Waterville, Wn., told what had been
accomplished up there under Difficult
ties and obstacles similar to those under
which we labor here and his talk must
have been a message of encouragement
to those who were fortunate enough
to be present.

The report Of November weather, as
submitted by local Observer Norwood

ceptionally fine. The total precipita.

Points ON New School Building

The total number Of votes cast
was 46o; Of this number s6s
we're for it and 81 against better
than four to one for the bonds.
The building will cost in the
neighborhood Of $50, 900; this will
include the gymnasium.
Every effort will be made to
have it ready for occupancy by
next fall.
The location as yet has not
been decided upon. Several fine
sites are already owned by the
district but it will probably go
where the old one now stands.
The school pupils proved to be
a lively bunch Of politicians and
some of the older politicians could
well afford to take lesson.
It will require from five to six
thousand dollars to properly equip
the building but this is provided
for in the bond issue.

the Right Direction.

on the site Of the present building it
will be necessary to provide place for
the holding of the last two months of
the present term for in order to have
the new building ready for occupancy
by the fall of 1913, the old structure
would necessarily have to be disman-
tied and the ground cleared up by the
last OF May. Another suggestion is
to purchase ground near the present To-
cation or arrange for an exchange.
South of the Christian church the dis
trict owns a fine piece of ground as it
does also a quite slightly location on
the hill in the east end of town. How
ever the matter of location has not
been decided upon and will rest with
the people as the board has expressed
desire to satisfy the greatest major
ity and have no pecuniary or selfish in
terest in the matter whatever.
Add Manual Training and Agriculture
With the completion of the new
building, it is intended to strengthen
and improve the school until it will
have a most enviable reputation in
Central Idaho. Manual training will
be added as well as an agricultural and
domestic science course. With the ad-
dition of the last two, we can look for
considerable financial aid from the
state and we believe this will prove a
most popular and practical addition for
with such an immense agricultural Sec
tion tributary to the city it is quite ma
tural to expect hearty response to
education along practical lines as will
thus be afforded.
viii Never Regret the Move.
With reasonable amount of good
luck the good people of Grangeville
Independent School District will by
the fall of 1913 be able to enjoy the
satisfaction of knowing their children IS
health is being properly guarded and
their mental facilities properly devel-
oped in a modern school with most
efficient corps of instructors and will
never live to regret the day they made
so commendable move.

ANNOUNCEMENT


take this method of announcing
myself as a candidate for the office Of
county judge of Marion county, sub
ject to the democratic primaries to be
held on the Goth day of April, 1912. /
trust this venture on my part will not
be deemed as presumptive, nor that |
be considered egotistic when I say that
believe myself to be fully competent
to perform all the duties connected
with the office. I have a knowledge of
bookkeeping and, as to my efficiency
in this line of work, I can refer you
confidently to one of the largest busi-
ness firms in Ocala. During the last
three years, while I worked as book
keeper during the day, l studied law
at night, and in January last, I went
before the supreme court of Florida
and was admitted to the bar to prac-
| tice law. 1 am just a Marion county
boy, claiming the privilege our govern
ment grants to each individual-the
| privilege of seeking and holding office.
Now. my friends and fellow demo-
crats,I ask you to take the trouble to
| inquire as to who and what / am, and,
| if from these inquiries, you are salts
fed that / am competent and merit
your support, 1 will appreciate your
confidence and will, if elected to the
office of county judge, never betray
your trust.
I would be glad to canvass every
precinct in the county and thus meet
each and every voter face to face, but
| this, on account of meager funds,
cannot do, so will have to ask you to
give my candidacy due consideration
| and, if you find that I measure up to
a true and perfect standard, you will
cast your vote in my favor.
Very truly yours,

Occasional attacks of backache, ir-
