BASEBALL FANS
GETTING BUSY
Lay Plans For Coming Season Would
Raise Several Hundred Dollars
For Financial Support
DANCE EASTER MONDAY EVENING
Plan to Sell Fans Baseball Booster
Buttons Soon

Definite plans were laid Wednes-
day evening at the meeting of the
directors of the Boomers Ferry
baseball association for the organi-
cation and financing of a team
this season.
The financial end of the organi-
cation, being the most important,
received first consideration. 1t
was decided to secure about 500
baseball buttons which will be sold
to fans at so cents each and which
will be good for admission to the
opening game which will be proba
bly, be played with Libby, Mont.
Another plan to raise money which
will probably be adopted was the
selling of season tickets at $3.50
each. 1t was also decided to hold
a dance for the benefit of the base
ball organization at Kent hall
on Easter Monday evening.
The manager of the baseball
club for the coming season has not
been selected by the board OF
directors yet. Another meeting
will be held this coming Wednes.
day evening at Kent & Dore':
Offices when the appointment will
be decided upon.
The directors of the association
are determined to play only home
men this year with the possibl,
exception of battery. Some o
the directors advocate the hiring
of pitcher and catcher. A mum
lber of applications have already
been received for these positions
Boomers Ferry has plenty o
material for a first class ball min,
and the fans do not favor thu
importing of new players VIII,
generally do not play as we'll a

and Mrs. R. R. Belcher were their
guests last Friday evening at a
party given in honor of their
friend, Mrs. Zirbel, of Lewiston,
Idaho, who returned home Monday

The guests were a jolly crowd
and entered into the amusements
of the evening-cards and dancing
with a zest that brought many
hours of pleasantness for all. The
Utopia orchestra furnished music
for the dancers. At a late hour
Mrs. Belchef served a delicious
lunch.

AT the meeting of the Farmer 5
Union held last Saturday it was
decided among the farmers to
specialize this season with two
varieties of potatoes. The Essiy
Triumph" was selected for the
spring variety and the Kootenai
Chic" for the late variety. The
Gold Coin" was selected for the
second best late variety.
The selection of these two
varieties will probably be lived up
to by most of the farmers of the
Kootenai Valley and will aid
materially in securing the best
market for the local product.

Constable McGreevy placed Mr..
Aldrich under arrest and took
charge of the weapon with which
the shooting had been done. An
empty shell was found on the front
porch of the house. Mr.. Aldrich
did not deny having done the
shooting.
The Herald representative talked
to Mr.. Aldrlch at the town jail
Monday noon.

DISPUTE OVER FENCE
ENDS IN KILLING
A. S. Waterman Shot and Instantly Killed Early Monday
By Neighbor, Andrew Adrich-Murderer Must
Face Charge in District Court

A dispute, which had been
dragging on for Some years, over
land boundaries, led to the killing
of A. S. Waterman, nearly II years
old, by Andrew Aldrich, 90 years
old, Monday morning about 1880
O'Clock. The tragedy was one
that appalled, the entire neighbor-
hood and the friends and relatives
of both families are grief-stricken
over the affair. Aldrich was given
preliminary hearing Tuesday
morning in Justice of Peace Kent's
court and was bound over to the
district court for trial on the charge
of murder.
The Waterman and Aldrich
farms adjoin on the Northside.
For number of years there was a
dispute between the two men as to
the location of the line dividing
the property. Last fall Mr.
Waterman had a survey made and
the line run at that time gave hrm
a few feet of the Aldrich property.
Aldrich was not satisfied with this
survey and he and Waterman had
several arguments about it. 1t is
claimed that early Monday morn
ing Mr.. Waterman set about to
change the fence dividing the
the property so that it would run
on the lines set by the surveyor
last fall. The rest of the story has
been told by Mr.. Aldrich who has
stated that Mr.. Waterman came to
the corner of his property and
started to boiler at him and that
he went into the house and got his
rifle and shot him.
Both shots took effect. 1t is
claimed that the first shot struck
Waterman in the left shoulder.
The bullet was found by Coroner
Knapp lodged just under the skin
on the right side of the shoulder.
This bullet shattered the left
shoulder and, in the opinion of the
coroner. would have resulted in
death. The second bullet entered
on the left side below the shoulder
blade and passed through the body
coming out on the right side enter
ing the body deep enough to break
the backbone.
Hale Aldrich, the youngest son
of Mr.. Aldrich, was in a barn
nearby when the shooting occurred
He hurried to the house and as he
did so he saw the body of Mr..
Waterman lying by the fence just
outside the Aldrich place and
stretched across part of the dis
puted ground. Hale learned OF
the tragedy and was sent by his
father to town to get the authori-
ties. On the way TO town Hale
stopped at his brothers house and
told him of the shooting and asked
him to go and stay with his father
and mother.
When Hale Aldrich arrived in
town he notified Marshall Worley
and Constable McGreevy. He
also broke the news to Johr
Waterman, son of A. S. Water.
man. The four men then returned
to the scene of the shooting. TIL,
body of Mr.. Waterman was founc
lying face downward about fee
from the fence in front of tn,
Aldrich home and the head almos
touching the line of the fenc,
dividing the Waterman and Aldricl
properties.
