The sudden outpouring over the city of mocking birds at Denison, Texas, recently, caused considerable interest for time. Mocking birds futering about the city at this time of the year is unusual. Investigation as to the cause of so many of these birds being seen flying about the streets seeming to be crippled led to the in- formation that two game wardens were in the city, and following their visit man had been arrested for hav- ing mocking bird caged. The bird was given it's liberty even before the man entered a plea of guilty and paid a $10 fine. Many mocking bird own CTS over the city turned their pets oose immediately.

place it second to Great Shoshone
Falls, where the whole of Snake
River plunges over a sheer descent
of 21O feet. At this time of year
when the river is full these falls
are equal to Niagara but later when
the stream runs low they are less
attractive. Then we saw the fa-

American Falls, and the jagged
peaks of the Tetons over in Wyom-

one gets tired of sagebrush and

DIES VOICNE
IS WINNER
Local Fans Delighted are With Exciting
Contest Held Last Night Between
Herbert and Des Voignes
WRESTLERS ARE FAST ATHLETES
Little Emery Brothers Were Hit Of the
Evening in Preliminary Bout

One OF the largest crowds ever
gathered at wrestling match in
this city witnessed the event at
Kent's hall last evening between
Clair Des Voigne and George Her
bert which was won by Des Voigne
after an hour on the mat.
The event was decided success.
Both principals gave their best
efforts. 1t was a clean, exciting
exhibition of strength and skill.
Des Voigne and Herbert were in
great condition and broke even in
aggressiveness. The first fall went
to Herbert in % minutes with a
toe hold. The second fall was won
by Des Voigne in II minutes and
the third in Is minutes, both falls
being secured with scissor and
arm holds. The men were as even
lv matched as could be desired.
Herbert probably had some little
advantage in strength and weight
while Des Voigne was the more
agile. Both men frequently broke
hard holds to the delight of their
supporters.
Before the third fall the winner
was challenged to a finish match
by Mr.. Shadduck.
The match was refereed by R.
c. Van Buren, and Earl Tomlinson
was me-keeper. The referee occu-
pied difficult position to fill but
handled the event most creditably
although there was some dissatis-
faction among the fans over one
decision.
Harry Dunn, of Mozavia, anc
Norman McRae, of Milwaukee
gave a preliminary wrestling mattel
which was declared draw. Theil
exhibition was a good one.
Seven-year-old Ray Emery anC
his brother, Billie, of Priest River
were the hit of the evening in {
four round boxing exhibition. TIL
little fellows showed surprisin,
skill with the gloves and their ex
hibition was alone worth the pric
of admission. The boys will b
brought here for another go at tn
boxing contest next Thursda,

OLD SETTLERS
ASSOCIATION
People Of Round Prairie and Mission
Creek Form New Organization to
Promote General Interest
TAKE In ALL OF NORTH IDAHO
Hold Another Picnic and Meeting on
the Fourth of July

Addie, Idaho, June II. Especial
to the Herald-The settlers of the
Round Prairie Valley in the north
part of the county, organized a
settlers association three weeks
ago and decided to hold a business
session and picnic at the Round
Prairie school house June 13. So
many settlers attended the picnic,
coming from the east side of the
Moyie river and as far west as
Copeland, that it was decided to
change the name of the association
from that of the Round Prairie
Settlers Association to the North
Idaho Settlers Association in order
to give membership to those living
beyond the confines of the Round
Prairie Valley.
Almost every settler living in the
Round Prairie country and Mission
creek valleys was present with his
family. One woman walked eight
miles from east of the Moyie. The
tables were laden with good things
and large quantities of cream and
other ingredients for the making
of good old-fashioned ice cream
were brought to the grounds, and
as fast as the freezers were emptied
a new supply was frozen.
The aim of the association is the
building of good roads, the helping
of settlers in distress, the elimina-
ton of i'll will and the creation of
more neighborly feeling among the
neighbors, the standing together as
one for the upbuilding of North
Idaho, the charging of the old
frontier spirit of friendship and
good will for the new settler and
all those now here. Men and
women are alike eligible to mem
bership and it is hoped the idea
will spread over the county.
A Fourth of July celebration
with another large picnic will be
given on July 4th at which time
, the organization will be further ex-
tended.
The settlers mean business and
, the feeling is will not only work
but vote together for the promotion
of their own interests.
l George c. Campbell is chairman
r and Mrs. Eva Traver is secretary
and treasurer of the association.
i Mrs. Louisa Bradley, an old pio-
= neer 90 years of age, and mother
Mrs. Gudbaur, of Copeland, wa:
t present and became one of the
= charter members.
= Already the organization is
-. having its effect as the county
f authorities have been on the ground
g and many settlers have been EN-
t ployed in building a county roac
f from Addie to Copeland. For /,
i years this so called road has beer
the worst in the Northwest if mo-
: in the United States.
