GOVERNOR PRAISES WHITE BIRD

In a personal letter addressed to the
Free Press correspondent Governor
Moses Alexander wakes eloquent in
praise of the Salmon river country and
the reception rendered him few weeks
ago. The governor says: II have
carried away with me the finest i'm
preston of your part of the country

kind courtesies extended to me by the
people of White Bird. There are many
people who have never seen your town

ANOTHER BAD ACCIDENT.

Harry Grant j prominent stockman
of the Deer creek country was knocked
down for the count and nearly for keeps
a few DAYS ago when a mule Mr.. Grant
was riding became obstreperous throw
ing him off and injuring him painfully.
Mr.. Grant who was occupied at his
Snake river ranch had saddled the mule
preparatory to riding after cattle.
The moment Mr. Grant landed astride
the animal it became refractory and
lit in to bucking Grant is said to be
one of the best riders in the country and
the mule not being able to dislodge him
from the saddle dashed off for the tim
Der, catching the riders chin over limb
dragged him to the ground. As Mr..
Grant lay helpless on the terra firma
the irasciable animal turned, jumped
upon his prostrat form, striking and
paving him savagely. The timely ar
rival of companions is all that saved
Mr.. Grant from permanent or fatal in
jury. Mr.. Grant s face is badly
lacerated and bruised and since tht
accident he has been bleeding internal
". He will leave White Bird imme
diately to consult a specialist.

TO LOSE FREIDENRICH.

Leo Freidenrich one of the best
known citizens and leading business
men of this section of country is pre-
pairing to pull up stakes in the very
near future and quit the country per
haps temporarily but possibly for good.
Mr.. Freidenrich who is generally and
popularity known as Lepo came to the
Salmon river in the year 1897 and es-
tablished himself in the mercantile
business His first establishment was
situated ON the corner adjacent to his
splendid residence but this was des-
troyed by fire only a few years ago
Mr.. Freidenrich Immediately erected
another building on the opposite corner
remaining there until March when his
place was again reduced by the flames.
For a time Mr.. Freidenrich rather ex-
pected to build and replace the old
establishment with a new one but
changed his program and decldede to
leave. His going away it is felt will
be a decided loss to the community IN
many ways as he was one of the local
leaders in financial and social circles
He was also an important personality
in the local Odd Fellows lodge and thai
organization is loath to sacrifice the
benefits of his commanding influence
In business Mr.. Freidenrich was cour
teous, considerable and obliging; thest
characteristics being a genuine trait o.
his nature rather than studied artifi
cialities for the sake of custom. More
over, "Lep" could always take jok
and give one in return. A gentleman
customer is said to have once Wake
into his store and inquired the price o
water pail. "Oh it will be enough
was the proprietors characteristic goo
} natured reply.
| The departure of Mrs. Freidenric
