MOTHER AND SON MEET TRAGIC
DEATH ON HARPSTER ROAD
Mrs George Myers and Son Charles Carried Over Noun
tain Cliff Saturday Afternoon by Four
Horse Team.

On last Saturday afternoon near the
hour of O'Clock, Mrs. Mary E. Mey-
ers, aged 62 years, and son Charles,
aged "a, met a tragic death on the
road leading in to the main Grange
Vllle-Harpster road from the Frank
tarris place, some eight miles east of
Grangeville, where they had been liv
ing. The fuu particulars of the sad
and fatal accident will never be
known, but SO far as can be learned
the circumstances were about as fol-
lows.
The Meyers family were moving
from the Farris ranch to Harpster
and were using Frank Farris' four
horse team to make the transfer of
goods. Mrs. Myers and son Charles
We're taking the first load, leaving
Mr.. Meyers, who is we'll along in
years at the ranch, until their re-
turn the same evening for the next
load. Frank Farris accompanied the
mother and SON to the gate at the
top of the hill, half or three-quart-
ers of a mile from the house, assist
ing them with one of the horses
which showed a disposition to balk
and cut up some. Mr.. Farris opened
the gate and they passed through
with the load. Everything seemed all
right as they started down the grade
and he returned home. This was the
last seen of the mother and son alive.
Not over two or three hundred
yards from where Mr.. Farris left
them the tragedy occurred. Just how
is largely surmise, but the deadly re-
suits were all too apparent to those
who visited the scene, at later hour
1t is believed by some that the son
had stopped the team on a short lev
el stretch of the road, which winds
around above the cliff, to allow the
mother who had had been walking to
get on the wagon, and that the balky
horse again refused to go, and when
urged backed, and turned the wagon
and its contents over the grade and
down the side of the deep gulch.
Evidently the team, or a part of 1t
1t least, was dragged over with the
load, as one of the horses was found
with his harness fastened in the brusl
and .rees down near the wrecked
wagon and its whinnying and paw
ing ~aS what lead to the discovery

of the accident that night.

OF the accident that night
Nm. Sorweid, who lives on the old
Tom Surridge ranch across the can
yon from the accident, came home
from Harpster at 1880 Saturday night,
and hearing the horse making a
the canyon to investigate, when he
came upon the horse tangled up and
unable to get loose and a few feet
away he discovered the body of Mrs.
Myers lying against a tree cold in
death 1t was later learned that her
neck was broken and she was badly
bruised about the face, death no doub
coming instantly upon her striking
the tree in the downward fall. The
son, a strong young man weighing
something like 150 pounds, was found
lying against another tree with the
wagon, the box OF which was badly
smashed, lying partly across his
body. The right arm and jaw were
broken and the right side of the head
was frightfully bruised.
Mr. SorWeid notified the neighbors
and called the sheriff's office, and
Sheriff Eimers, accompanied by Madi-
son Myers, son OF Mrs. Myers, who
works at Electric Laundry, and Lew
Waggerly as chauffeur, left town for
the scene of the disaster where they
arrived about IL o'clock that night.
Undertaken Graham was later called
and went down and brought the bod
les back to town at 8 o'clock in the
morning.
The family came to this section
some twenty years ago from Arkan-
sas. The deceased lady who is a
sister of l.. M. Costley of this place,
leaves a husband and seven children
to mourn her untimely death as fol-
lows, most of whom were in attend
ance at the funeral Mrs. esse Eos
ter, Weiser; Mrs. Z. l.. PlemOn, Two
Rivers, Wash; VIM. F. Myers, Elk
City; Mrs. Harry Bryant, and Madi-
son, Grangeville; Grover, Lewiston; /;
Mrs. Dora Hipke, Portland.
The funeral took place from the
Christian church in this city Wednes-
day at p. M, Rev. Van Slyke
preaching the discourse, and inter
ment was made in the Fairview GENE
tary, some five miles northeast of
this city.

BOUND THE INDIAN OVER.

Thomas Lindsey, the Indian from
kamiah, who got obstreperous here
during Border Days, and attempted
to knife Black Eagle, one of his
tribesmen, was ushered into the
presence of Judge DeHaven on Mon
day and was bound over to the dis
trict court under a $500 bond. The
trouble occurred at the Indian camp
on the lot south of the Odd Fellows
hall, Lindsey being just drunk
enough to be mean and when Chief
Lanningham, reached the scene of
trouble Lindsey was in the act of in
serting long knife between the ribs
of Black Eagle. When interfered
with the blood thirsty redman turned
upon the officer and tried 10 do the
carving act, but was promptly "un-
horsed' and dropped in the cooler,
where he howled and pranced like a

BORDER DAYS
A FIXED ASSET
A Meeting of the Citizens
Set for Friday Night to
Enlarge Plans.

There is a disposition on the part
Oh our citizens to begin at once boost
ing Border Days for next year, and
a meeting Is to be held Friday night
between a committee from the COM
mercial club and the officers of the
Border Days company, with a pur-
pose of enlarging the field and scope
of operations of the present show.
The plans are not fully formulated
yet, but the Globe has sufficient con
fidence in the honesty, earnestness
and business sense of our citizens to
assert that it only requires a full and
free discussion of matters to reach a
definite plan of action.
That Border Days Is the best
thing for this community that has
ever been launched, there is no doubt
3, d that claim is freely admitted by
all the business men and citizens i'm
I, general. While some do not take
- the wild west stunts as heartily
d others, that class is not as numer-
Gus as those who do. But to clear
up this matter and furnish all classes
with the kind of entertainment they
~ e, is the purpose of the meeting to
bt held next Friday. The Globe does
e care to anticipate the action of
that meeting by announcing plans
which have not been matured and full
ly agreed upon, but it is safe to say
that the stockmen and agriculturist
will not be left out in he future plans,
but will have large part in the pro-
ceedings if they so desire.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Aug. 19.-The most i'm
portant labor convention ever held
IN Colorado convened yesterday at
trinidad. 1t is important because of
the fact that the coal miners in the
southern part of the state, number
ing 5000 or 10000, are on the verge
OF striking and may do so if the oper-
ators refuse to recognize the miners
right to organize unions.
There are 900 delegates in the con-
yention of the State Federation of
Labor, representing some 225 locals
and 20 local central bodies. There
are 100 delegates from Denver, who
left this city Sunday for Trinidad.
The meeting is the 18th annual gath
ering and probably will be the largest
revolutionary assemblage of labor
people ever assembled within the
state. The convention is being held
IN the very center of district that
may soon become the scene of the
greatest coal miners strike in this
country. The situation is said bv la
Dor leaders to be the most serious in
the history of the west. Practically
every large international labor or
sahization in the country has repre-
sehtation in the big convention.
should the convention deem II ne
cessary to order strike. 1t will be
done, and some 500 leaders of labor
affairs in attendance on the conyen.
tion VIII remain in the district to
cooperate with the officials of the
united Mine Workers of America in
conducting the strike. II is more
than likely that, If trouble comes.
the state Federation of Labor will be
drawn into the strike.
The miners say they want decent
treatment and the right to form un-
ions; that, If this is denied them by
tne operators, they are willing to lay
down their tools and go out The
miners are willing To arbitrate their
troubles, but the operators still re-
tuse this, which may lead to a gen
eral strike OF the thousands of miners
IN the southern district. Commercial
organizations of Denver and Pueblo
are endeavoring to settle the trou-
bles, but thus far have failed.

unscathed. 1t win pass the house as
1t was approved by the caucus, and
II Will be ratified by the senate in

The president has decreed that we

the perspiring, pleading senator's

from his course. He would not lis
ten to the suggestion of recess,
which would permit members to take
a short vacation. OF course, this has
caused some grumbling among the
reactionaries and you hear a little
talk OF executive interference" The
people are not likely to worry over
the situation however for they know
when the president 'interferes' 1t is
in their interest
The new currency bill has teeth in
it. Like everything which is pro-
duced by the hand and brain of the
president it is efficient and will do
the work 1t is designed to accomp-
fish.

opposition to the Underwood bill If
they could be assured that the cur

smilngly rejected this rather tempt
ing proposition and urged the house
to proceed.
Then special privilege took anoth-
