A SPLENDID TRAIL.
l. r. Ball Completes Three Mile Trail
To Fisher Placers.

Doc Denny came into Grangeyille
from his homestead up in the South
Fork country this week ret turning home
Wednesday. Doc had a good word to
say for the new trail which extends
from the Elmer Michael's ranch up to
the Fisher placers and which was con-
structed by l. R. Ball, manager of
the Fisher placers to afford a means
of packing supplies into the property.
The trail is about three miles in length
and averages about 4 feet in width.
Considerable rock work had to be done
in places. Fifteen men performed
the work and the trail was completed
in very short time. No bridges had
to be built The old trail was very
dangerous in the winter but now it is
in such condition that man can safely
travel it at any season of the year. Mr..
| Ball stated that with thousand dol
lars expenditure OF er and above what
was spent in building the present trail
he could have made good wagon road
The balance of the way from the old
Michael's ranch to the South Fork
bridge presents no great difficulties to
be overcome In constructing wagon
road only a little grading being nee
| essary in places and very little rock
work. The completion Of the Wagon
road by the forest reserve down to the
trail bridge will practically assure it,

ers. Ranchers in the South Fork sec
ition have been practically isolated from

lack of roads and good trails and tn
building of the three miles of trail b.

700 HEAD GATHERED BY SETH
JONES AND SHIPPED TO MONT
GoMERY, MONT. TO BE FAT
TENED FOR MARKET.

During the past few weeks an i'm
mense amount of livestock in numbers
and in values has come to Grangeville
from the Salmon river section and been
shipped for market On account of the
freight rates being less from Sites, the
stock have geen driven through Grange
vile and down to the river town for
transhipment. Besides the large mum
ber of cattle being shipped from Sites
of late many hogs have been shipped to
market from Grangeville.
Tuesday 30 cars of beef cattle were
loaded out from Sites, being the lar
gest consignment of stock for some
time. Seth Jones gathered something
over 700 head of cattle in the Salmon
river country and the same were shipped
to Montgomery, Montana, in the Ana
conda section. There they will be
ranged and fed for market, feed being
plentiful in that section and later the
stuff will be shipped to Chicago mar
kets.
On account of tn. unsatisfactory con
ditions of the coast market a large
amount of beef has been shipped tc
Omaha and Chicago from this section
of late. Last week the Northern Paci
fic handled a special train shipment OF
hogs to Chicago, II carloads of which
came from the prairie and the balance
being from points in the Palouse coun
try. The shippers from the prairie
were f. S. Sweet, Grangeville; the Cot

RESULT OF WORK OF 80 MEN, AN
OLD MILL BEING USED TO
HANDLE THE ORE.
MINING ACTIVE AT WARRENS
Two Good Properties in the Marshall
Lake District Bonded Spokane Wom-
an Finances Placer Mine at Resort.

Deputy Sheriff B. F. Shaw returned
last week from trip to Warrens where
he attended to business connected with
the duties of his official position. He
returned Wednesday after an absence
of about ten days. While away he
gathered considerable information as to
the mining conditions and prospects in
that district and neighboring sections.
Mr.. Shaw states that Warrens is boom
ing and is fast coming into its own. The
town is lighted by electricity and has a
splendid hotel. He visited the Rescue
mine while in Warrens and states that
during the last thirty days a test run
has been made. Thirty men were work
ing and clean up of $4,000 was made
in month s time. This is the prop
erty formerly owned by J. Czizek and
at the present time Ex-Governor Haw-
ley and A. A Shaw of Boise are the
principal owners.
| The cleanup was made with a small
mill on the property which is an old,
| inefficient affair, and at the present
time a new mill is being constructed
and is just about completed which will
handle large quantity of ore during
the coming year. During the coming
season, with splendid new equipment
the old Warrens camp promises to be
the center of attention.
On his way out Mr.. Shaw came

DEATH FOLLOWED DISLOCATION
OF SPINAL COLUMN-MEDICA
SCIENCE COULD DO NOTHING
TO SAVE LIFE OF BOY.

No greater shock was ever received
by Grangcville and the community than
the news eceived last Saturday after
noon that Flody Gilbert has sustained
fatal injuries in the football game be-
ing played between the Nezpcrce and
Grangeville high school teams. From
the moment that the news arrived and
the mother started for Nezperce to be
at the bedside of her boy, there was
feversh interest for news that Floyd
might have chance to recover. Since
Monday the entire city has been in
mourning for the young man taken In
the early days of manhood. Floyd was
10 years old last August.
No less was the kindly concern and
sympathy expressed on the part OF the
citizens of Nezperce who watched the
condition of the boy and enquired anx-
iously about the condition of the in
jured player from the time he was in
jured until he passed away in the hospi-
tai at Moscow. A telegram of condo
lence and sympathy was sent by the
mayor of Nezperce and every automo-
bile in the city was requisitioned for
use of the young people and the citi-
zens from Nezperce who came over
Wednesday to attend the funeral SER
vices in the high school auditorium.
The fatal accident was brought very
close home to Nezperce, for unfortu-
nately, later in the game, Syron, the
Nezperce player who was carrying the
ball when tackled by Gilbert, was in
iured and had his collar bone broken.
Later the report has come in that blood
poisoning has set in and the case is
more complicated. just as soon as the
fatal nature of the accident was learned
by the citizens of Nezperce, parents of
boys playing on the Nezperce team Or
dered that the game be stopped, but
prior to this time the two coaches of
the schools had made this decision and
at the end of the first half the play
stopped.
Floyd Gilbert was injured during The
first few minutes of play in the game
at Nezperce. A Nezperce player,
syron, was carrying the ball and max
ing run around the right end of the
line. He was going swiftly and Floyd
ran out to stop the play and tackled
the runner. Whether the injury was
caused by Floyd striking his head OF
Syron IS hip when he tackled him, ol
whether he possibly was struck by ont
of the runner Is knees, the force OF thu
impact was sufficient to throw th'
head back and cause the injuries whicl
finally ended in death. At any rat
FLOYD received the force of the bloy
directly in the face and his mouth wa

Immediate efforts were put forth t
give him relief. He was conscious prae
ticallv from the time he was injure
and could speak. He probably realize
the seriousness of his injury more tina
the onlookers for he stated that he ha
no feeling below the neck. A doeto
