BAD CHECK
ARTIST CAUGHT
Man Who Passed a Forged
Check on Cottonwood Mer-
camille Co. Must Face Trial
in District Court.

/ Warren Reed, who passed a
check on the Cottonwood Mer-
camille Co. here last week for
4 $27. .85, was picked up at Lapwai
and brought back to Grangeville
N Mon6ay evening by Deputy Sher-
iff Webb. On Tuesday he was
brought over by Sheriff Eimers
land Attorney Hattabaugh and
given a preliminary hearing be-
fore Justice of the Peace M. F.
Fuchs. Reed waived a hearing
and was bound over to the dis
Etrict court under $3.50 bonds,
(which he was unable to furnish,
and was taken back to the coun-
Hty Jail that evening.
4 The check, over which Reed
got into trouble, was drawn on
the First National Bank and on
the account of J. B. Partain, of
Denver. Reed purchased suit
|of clothes and other articles in
the dry goods line, giving the
check in payment. Later, when
the signature was found to be
forgery, warrant was sworn
out and the officers picked Reed
up at Lapwai.
Reed disclaimed any knowledge
OF issuing the check and said he
must have been drunk when he
signed it. However. he was
wearing the suit purchased from
the local store and had goods in
his suit case which matched the
bolts at the store and there is
little doubt but that he is the
man wanted.

Ralph Buys Cavalry Horses

W. H. Ralph, the we'll known
Nezperce auctioneer, is now buy
ing horses for cavalry and light
artillery purposes in this section
and is in the market for geldings
and mares from 4 to 9 years of
age and ranging in weight from
1000 to 1350..spounds. NThe ami
mails must be smooth and sound,
while nosfancy prices--are being
paid, the offers are sufficient to
tempt many to dispose of their
surplus stock rather than. carry
them over and risk selling at a
lower price next year.
Mr.. Ralph will receive here
about Dec. 10th and hopes to be
able to ship several cars of horses
to Seattle at that time. He will
also receive at Kamiah within a
couple of days after the shipment
is made from this point.
Mr.. Ralph says he is ready to
buy any number that come. pro-
viding they are suitable animals,
and he will no doubt pick up quite
a bunch hereabouts within the
next two weeks.

Stock Show Dates Changed

At a meeting of the board of
directors of the Northwest Live
stock association in Spokane last
week it was decided to postpone
the big show for two weeks in
order to take every precaution to
guard the herds of the northwest
from the dreaded foot and mouth
disease, which is causing so much
trouble in the states of the mid
die west. AS result of this de-
cision the big show, which was
to have been held at Lewiston
from Nov. 80 to Dec. 5 will now
be held from Dec. IA to 10, in
elusive.
There have been no reports of
outbreaks of the foot and mouth
disease in the northwest and it
is believed the exhibits at the
Lewiston show will be practically
as large as if the scare had not
occurred.

X. c. Team Met Defeat

:
The local X. of C. basket bal
team went to Grangeville last
Friday evening and tried their
luck with the town team at that
place, losing out by a score of 81
to IL. It was the second game
played by the locals and, consid-
ering the bunch of old players
they were pitted against, the
boys do not feel at all cast down
over the result. In the first half
the Grangeville team ran up a
score of %, the larger part being
made by two players on that
team. One of these players was
an old, experienced college man
and was guarded by Paul Ter
haar, an undeveloped, inexperi-
enced boy. In the second half
Henry Hussman was substituted
for Terhaar and in this half the
Cottonwood team scored IL points
to Grangeville's 9. When the
return game is played here at
some later date the boys hope to
make a much better..showing and
will make the county seat aggre-
cation travel to get away with
the game.

School Notes

In a very exciting contest Sat-
urday night at Ferdinand the
Cottonwood High School second
basket ball team defeated the
Ferdinand second team by a
score of IL to 10. The winning
basket was thrown just as the
whistle blew for time up. Robert
Davis was the particular star Of
the game, shooting four baskets
in the second half.
The second contest between
the first two teams of the two
schools was not so exciting as
the youngsters game, but ac-
cording to roofing it suited the
Ferdinand crowd to a T. The
score. 21 to IL in favor of the
reservation town, tells the story.
Return games will be played in
a week or two.

says the fighting near Lodz con.
tinues, but that the German
forces sre pressed on every side
and are making supreme effort
to cut their way through to the
north. The Germans also claim
to have brought the Russian ad-
vance to a stop in east Prussia
and before Cracow in Galicia. A
Russian official statement says
that the Russians manifestly have
the upper hand near Cracow.
In the western theatre the
fighting consists to a large extent
to artillery duels and according
to French official statements it is
comparatively quiet in that re-
gion. The statement by the
French war Office that the allies
have been able to lombard Aran-
vile is considered significant by
military experts. Aranvile is on
the Lorraine frontier and is only
II miles southwest of the city of
Metz, one of Germany's greatest
fortresses.
Despite the comparative in
activity in the western field,
there is evidence that the Ger
mans are planning another des-
perate attempt to force their way
through to the French ports.
The reports show that the Ger
mans are bringing up reinforce
ments and guns but there is no
indication as to where they in
tend to deliver the blow. Every
preparation has been made by
the allies to meet this assault.
Along the east and south coasts
of England preparations are be-
ing made to repulse any possible
attempts at invasion by Germany.
Plans have been completed for
the withdrawal of women and
children from the areas which
may be threatened and for the
withdrawal of livestock and any,
thing that may be useful to in
vaders. Rifle clubs have been
organized and are drilling.
Germany also fears an invasion
by the allies and is making ex-
tensive preparations to guard a.
gainst such an eventuality, ac-
cording to Copenhagen dis
patch. 1t is said that the Germans
are strengthening the old for
tresses in the former Danish
territory of Schleswig-Hols
and a line of entertainments along
the northern side of the Kiel
canal. 1t is on the shore of
Schleswig, tie report says, that
an invasion is feared.

! Nov. 24.-The advantage in
the great battle which is being
fought on the Vistula and Warta
rivers in Poland appears, accord
ing to latest advices, to be on
the side of the Russians. A
special dispatch received in Paris
from Petrograd even asserts that
the forces of Grand Duke Nicho-
las have won a decisive victory
over the Germsn troops under
General Won Hindenburg. How
ever this may be, the official re-
ports from both the German and
Russian war offices indicated that
General Won Hindenburg has been
checked in his second advance on
Warsaw.
That this battle is being fought
with great stubbornness is GER
tain. Grand Duke Nicholas, who
for two days in succession has
recorded partial successes, has
received reinforcements and a.

eral Won Hindenburg is hurting
his troops in impetuous assaults.
In the western theatre the Ger
mans have been violently bonn
harding Ypres in Flanders, Sois-
sons in the valley of the Aisne
and Rheims, and have been max
ing attacks in the Argonne re-
gion. The Germans claim that
they have been gaining ground
in the last named district, but
the French assert that the attacks
here have been repulsed. Mill

or all of this activity may be in

the quarter in which the supreme
attack is to be made.

that there has been great Rus

tween the Warta and Vistula
rivers in Poland. This claim is
based on unofficial reports, which
even assert that an entire Ger
man army corps has been broken
and that 48 trains which will ac-
commodate $4,000 wounded and
prisoners, have been ordered out
of Warsaw.

Ferdinand Lads Won Out

j In what was undoubtedly the
fastest and closest basket ball
game ever played in Cottonwood
the Ferdinand team defeated the
local K. of G. team last night by
the narrow margin of one point,
the final score standing 81 to 20
Yin favor Of the visitors. The
*game opened with a rush and the
2visitors threw three goals before
the local boys awoke to the fact
that they would have to play fast
ball or be showed under COM
$pletely. The first half ended
with the score standing II to 8
in Ferdinand's favor. In the
second half the home team took
p squirt and it was anybody's
&game until the referee blew the
whistle and declared the game
over.
Il The playing was rather rough
on both sides but not unduly so
when the teams were so closely
matched and the play so spirited.
Tautfest and Craig were the par
ticularly bright stars for Ferdi-
nand, the former being an old
lewiston normal player and al
most half a team in himself. For
The locals Johann. Funke and

be played in the near future.
