A Sad Case.

Mrs. Virgil Randall, whose home
is twelve miles north of Moscow, was
in Oronfio Tuesday visiting her son,
Grover, who is confined in the state
sanitarium here. The unfortunate
young man, a bright, industrious fell
low, while working on the farm, was
hit on the head by falling timber
and in week went hopelessly insane.
Specialists at Portland, Oregon, pro-
nounced his case hopeless. and DIR.
Givens is reported to have held out no
hope for his recovery. The young
man escaped some months ago and re-
turned home, and at times was appar-
emily alright, but realized that mis-
condition was not normal and asked
to be returned to Orofino where he
said he was kindly treated. He likes
DIR. Givens. He said he was moi
treated right at the private sanitar'
iums in Portland, and begged not t.
be returned there.

Fine Buck Near OrOfinO

The party of Moscow hunters, in
cluding G.. P. Mix, VIM Marsh and
Guy Curtis, returned home Saturday,
bagging a fine buck. Mr.. Mix was
the fortunate hunter, the deer hearing
the other hunters, running up within
a short distance of him and stopping
while he knocked it down with 1920.
Mr.. Mix is the manager of the Idaho
National Harvester company at Mos
cow. He is also graduate of the
Agricultural college at Moscow, in
the early days of that institution,
when the college of agriculture was
mostly myth. That is, there were
appropriations from Uncle Sam, and
some from the state, mostly used to
keep the University going, and young
Mix was about the only student who
stuck to the agricultural course.

very interesting and successful. In

Mrs. E. II. Atherton is the new sec
retary- treasurer. This was considered
the best Sunday school convention ever
held in this county, and the most

The local Sunday schools are organ
izing for the systematic study of the
Bible. All denominations are uniting.
In many places this is being made a
part of public school work, and the
young people, both Prostestant and
Catholic, are acquiring this knowledge
Regular text books on the Bible are
used, and systematic study of the
Bible pursued. More than 25 have
already signified desire to join the
class. The first meeting will be held
Monday evening. Interested parties
wishing to join the class will see

Atherton, or Mrs. Orcutt.

the interest of people who are not

Why not get into action at once on

diate attention is the settling of the

pected, and Mr.. Shea has the happy
faculty of delivering the goods. He
is on the square, and has the respect
of the people of Elk River.
However able or earnest the county
attorney may be he would be power
less unless the sheriff and his dep
uties were competent, and whatever
success County Attorney Smith has
had in enforcing the law in Clear
water county Sheriff Sullivan and his
deputies are entitled to their share.
There is plenty to go round. Working
together the officers have done splen-
did service. People who lived in the
county two years ago would hardly re-
cognize the place.
Over $1,000 in fines have beer
turned in to the county.

Orofino's greatest need is more pop
ulation in this part of the county.
There is need of settlers for the
thousands of acres of idle state land.
The reservation adjoining town should
be settled by white farmers, who
would trade with local merchants.
As it now stands this land is doing
the Indians no good, and stands bar
rier to the prosperity of the commun-
ity. We need every acre of land set
tied and titled, increasing our taxable
wealth, and making the building Of
public roads easier on the rest of the
people. The Commercial Club should
take this matter up at once with Sem
ators Borah and Brady and urge i'm

Leeper's Appeal to District Court
Thrown Out by Judge Steele

Judge Steele sustained the conten-
tion of County Attorney Smith in the
appeal of Roy Leeper, and the case
was dismissed. Leeper, who was
deputy sheriff in Clearwater county
under Sheriff Harper, was tried in the
probate court and fined $50 and costs
for abusing Sheriff Sullivan. Judge
Steele sustained County Attorney
Smith who contended that the Leeper
appeal was irregular and illegal, and
that no appeal had, in fact, been
taken.
Atty. Fitzgerald represented Leeper
and with him is associated Charley
Mcdonald. Mr.. Fitzgerald says they
will appeal to the supreme court of

to prepare tn papers.
The case is the outgrowth of an
automobile trade, in which Peter
Hanson, living on the Gilbert grade,
claimed an interest in Buick car.
Mr.. Leeper bought the owners s
interest, and was attempting to gain
possession from Hanson when the
trouble with the sheriff came up.
Sheriff Sullivan refused to serve
certain papers prepared by Attorney
Fitzgerald, being advised they were
not legally prepared, and that he
would be liable on his bond if he did.
This angered Mr.. Leeper who is
charged with trying to start a rough
house with the officer.
