Hye Convicted and Sentenced

After being out for eighteen
hours the jury in the Hye case
brought in verdict Saturday
forenoon of murder in the second
degree and on Wednesday Judge
Steele sentenced Hye to serve
from ten years to life imprison-
ment in the state penitentiary at
hard labor. 1t is understood the
case will be appealed. Hye broke
down completely when the jury
returned its verdict but later tried
to assault his father-in-law as he
was leaving the court room and
the efforts of his brother and
several deputies was necessary
to subdue him. Hye overheard
the elder Litchfeld say that he
(Hye) ought to be hung and this
caused the attempted assault.
Allan McKinnon, convicted of
embezzling the funds of the grain
company for which he formerly
worked at this place, was also
given an indeterminate sentence
of from one to fourteen years.
He will probably secure his free
dom within the year.

Change Road Over
Cottonwood Hill

D. B. Denham was down from
the Westlake country the first of
the week talking over with our
business men proposed change
of the present road over Cotton
wood hill, some five miles north
west of town. The proposed
change would run the road west
from the foot of the hill, thence
through the Mcpherson farm and
by an easy grade through various
gulches to a junction with the
present road near the joseph
Ritter farm. The right of way
for the proposed change has all
been secured and it is desired to
begin work on the road while the
ground is still moist and put it
into permanent shape. The en-
tire road can be plowed and grad
ed after the brush and small trees
are cleared away and it is esti-
mated the cost of the change will
not exceed 5000.
If the change is made it will do
away with one of the worst hills
between this place and Lewiston
and will make the road across
Craig mountain a favorite route
for auto travel during the sum-
mer months.

GOldstone Sells His
Store Interests

Sam Goldstone, who spent sew.
eral days in the city this week
from Lewiston, sold his interest
the first of the week in the Gold
stone, Nash, Creelman Co. store
to h partn ers, who will continue
the business at the same location
and under the o!d firm name.
Mr.. Goldstone retired from the
store with regret after 25 years
of continuous business in the
mercantile line at this place but
the fact that he has been resi-
dent of Lewiston for the past
three years, and recently acquir-
ed stock of goods at Orofno,
made it necessary for him to dis
pose of his interest in the local
store. He still retains his prop
erty interests here, however, and
will always have a deep interest
in the welfare of Cottonwood and
her people.
In retiring from business here
Mr.. Goldstone desires to thank
his many friends for patronage
extended him in the past and be-
speaks a continuance of this good
will toward his successors,
Messrs. Nash and Creelman.

Ham Jubilee Singers
Were Fine.

The Ham Jubilee Singers ap-
peared here Tuesday evening to
a house far sms Her than should
have greeted them and put up a
musical entertainment equal to
the best that has ever visited
this place and far superior to
most troupes that make the
s mailer towns. The work of the
members of the troupe was fully
up to the advance announcements
and was so nearly perfect as to
cause one to wonder that such
artists could be secured to appear
in such small towns as Cotton
wood.
The Ham singers are among
the best of their kind in this
country and fully equal, if not
superior, to the Williams and
Carter singers, which have ap-
peared here in the past. Mr..
Ham, as basso, was simply
wonderful and was ably assisted
by the other members of his
troupe. The numbers on their
program ranged from the old
melodies to the best
grand opera and every number
drew hearty applause from all
present. 1t is to be hoped that
the Ham singers may return
again at some later date.

Goldstone Buys Orofno Store

Sam'. Goldstone, for years a
leading merchant Of Cottonwo d
and one of the best known men
in this part of Idaho, last week
closed deal for the purchase of
the stock of goods of the Farm
ers' Cash Store at Orofno and will
contjn e in business at that place
in future. Mr.. Goldstone moved
his family from this place to
Lewiston some three years ago
and will still reside there, max
ing occasional visits to Orofino to
look after the interests of his
store at that place.
When asked this. week about
nls new venture Mr.. Goldstone
stated that he considered Orofno
one of the best towns in the
Clearwater valley, outside of
Lewiston, and place that is des-
tine1 to become a town of con-
siderable size and very substan-
tial. With the immense timber
country back of it and as county
seat of Clearwater county Orofiro
has an exceptionally bright fut-
ure. 1t has beautiful climate
the year around, making it a de-
slrable place in which to live, the
North Idaho Insane Asylum is
located there and the immense
lime deposits within the limits of
the town are bound to develop
into something big in time to
cone, giving the town a nice
payroll. Mr.. Goldstone states
that the residents of the sur
rounding country are going into
dairying and livestock, as well as
the growing of grain and fruit
and are in very good condition
financially.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Gold
stone later in the summer to
move his stock of goods to a bet
ter building and location ard
materially enlarge the same, CIV
ing Orofino one of the best stores
IN Its history. Felix Funke left
asst week for Orofno to take
charge of the new store for its
owner and will be assisted by
clerks formerly with the old firm.
The Chronicle can assure the
citizens of Orofino that in Mr..
Ioldstone they have secured a
citizen who will do much to ad-
1ance the upbuilding of their
community and who will always
'e ready to do more than his
hare in furthering any worthy
public enterprise and bring unity
o the section in which he resides.

WILL HAVE BIG GATHERING
HiIlsboro 20 Entertain State Dairy.

Our neighboring town of HiIlsboro is
fortunate in having secured for three
days session in that village the annual
meeting of the state dairyman's asso-
citation, which will be held December l,
and This is one OF the most inn
portant gatherings held within the
state during any year. Our neighbors
are to be congratulated.
Unsportsmanlike But Effective
Contrary to the general belief, it is
not unlawful to hunt rabbits in Rich
land county with the aid of ferret.
Such used to be the law, but the last
legislature changed it. Hunting rab-
bits with ferrets is now permissible
under certsin restrictions The new
law provides that "In Door, Vernon,
Richland and Crawford counties it shall
be lawful for the owner or occupant OF
any land, or for any person upon the
written permission of such owrer OF
occupant, to hunt, take, kill or pursue
rabbits with ferrets upon such land
This is a sure way of getting the ami
mails, but it does not appeal 10 the real
sportsman, but il does to the farmer
and fruit grower who have suffered
much financial and other loss by the
destruction of fruit trees and shrubs by
these nests

GOOD CITIZEN TAKES HIS LIFE
August Trappe, Stark Farmer, Hangs
Himself in Tobacco Shed

At his home two miles north Of La
Fargo, on Friday morning last, Mr..
August Trappe, one of Stark's reputa-
BILE citizens, while in the state of I'M
balanced mind, committed suicide by
hanging himself in his tobacco shed.
Mr.. Trsppe had assisted his son in do
ing the morning chores and while the
son was absent at the cheese factory
to deliver milk, he took a halter off
from one of his horses, went into the
tobacco shed, buckled one end over the
beam, tied moose and slipped it over
his head, stepped off a box on which
be was standing and was found later
dead. Mr.. TTappe had not been well
for two years and he had brooded over
his condition. He was twice married,
the present wife being now i'll, Chill
dren by both marriages survive.
Mr.. Trappe was an industrious man,
a good citizen and long time resident of
Stark. He was sixty-one years old.
: Coroner Gohde was called to the
Trappe farm, accompanied by Dr. Esch
of LaFarge. The case was so plain of
self-destruction that the holding of an
inquest was thought unnecessary.
