and Nez Peree county had been guar
anteed. It was explained the matter
had not been settled until recently be-
cause of the uncertainty of the position
of the board of county commissioners
of Nez Perce county. The report made
by Messrs. Wallace and Jordan was ac-
cepted and the committee at once took
up the work of making the plans for
the 1915 show at Lewiston.
The view expressed by members of
the committee were that the outlook
for the 1915 show is the brightest in
the history of the organization. The
committee has been assured of the most
substantial support of the farmers and
stockmen of the entire northwest and it
is stated the exhibits will be more rep
resentative of the four northwest states
than at any previous show. The preli-
minary premium list will be issued at
once and will suggest an enlargement OF
the show, with new departments and
better organization to serve the inter-
ests of the farmers and stockmen of the
northwest.

he was out of the house and down town
and in the same jovial, goodnatured

prayer. Reverend Gornall of the Fed

ALBERT ALEXANDER
KILLED IN FALL
FROM POLE
ENGAGED IN REPAIRING LINE
WIRE OF LIGHT CO., WHEN ACCT
DENT OCCURRED.
DEATH OCCURRED INSTANTLY
Cause of Unfortunate Accident Un-
known-Work Over Body for Hours
to Resuscitate But without Avail.

Albert Alexander, lineman of the
Grangeville Electric Light & Power Co.,
was Instantly killed Tuesday morning
about $3.50 O'Clock. He fell from an
electric line pole on East Main street
and when persons reached the body
there was no sign of life. Allen, who
was at the light office when the accident
occurred was the first person to reach
the scene and Immediately took steps
to induce respiration and to resuscitate
the body but without avail. Manager
Bayles also arrived soon after and
assisted in the work. DR.. Stockton
arrived few minutes later and direct
ed the work to revive Alexander if pos
sible and although the persons present
worked for four hours there was no
sign of life at any time.
DIR. Stockton stated that there was no
perceptible heart beat when he arrived
and that he was of the opinion that the
case was past hope, but in accordance
with the directions followed in such
cases the work of resuscitation was fol
lowed for the time in hope that some
spark of life might be kindled and
stimulated. just how the accident hap
pended no one knows. The body eviden-
tly struck the ground on the shoulder
lor there was bruise there. There
were also some marks on the chest.
Burns were found on two of the fingers
of the right hand being on the back of
the hand. This would seem to indicate
that he came in contract with live
wire.
The current in the wire ON which
Alexander was directed to work was
turned off and the nearest live wire
from this was about five feet higher
up on the pole so that it would seem
impossible that he was shocked to
death. He fell about 90 feet and he
was in the air, about six feet from the
sidewalk when discovered by passer-
by. There were no broken bones and
no bruises on the head to indicate that
he struck on his head. There were q
few slight abrasions on the right arm.
Albert Alexander is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. A. E. Alexander, two old resi-
dents of Grangeville and Marietta, one
of his four sisters resided here in
Grangeville. The other sisters are ex-
pected in on this evenings train to be
present at the funeral which will be
held Friday. Albert has followed the
work Of lineman for some time and
had gained considerable experience in
the profession in working for telephone
! and light companies.

PASSING OF CYRUS OVFRMAN
PROMINENT IDAHO COUNTY PIONEER

passes another of Idaho County g
sterling pioneers. From the time of his
coming to this country, a boy of 20,
until death closed his eyes in the last
sleep, he watched and took part in the
development Of Idaho, and particularly
the Camas Prairie country, where for
forty-four years, he made his home.
Cyrus Overman was born April 2,
1851, at Ottuwa, Iowa, then cluster
of houses at one of the main crossings
of the Des Moines river. His father,
John Overman, felt the call of the
West, and in 1S49 discovered the Over
man mine at Gold Hill, Nevada. The
son was soon to follow to the West, and
in 1871, came to Idaho on the farm 8
miles west of Grangeville, which he
still owned at the time of his death.
Here, in 1874, he was married to Malin-
da A. Watson, daughter Of A. I. and
M. E. Watson, an early Idaho county
family, who survives him. Together
they began the task of building home
and rearing and educating a family.
Miles from railway, where to have
schools, or churches or even comforts
meant first to create them; and to this
task they together devoted a life time
Of devotion.
Cyrus Overman was always active in
the public life of the state and county,
continually devoting time and money to
the upbuilding of the community. No
worthy cause failed to receive his
generous support and help. He went to
great trouble and expense to improve
the live stock and better the farming
conditions of the prairie. Mr.. Over
man, with his partner, E. s. Sweet, were
instrumental in bringing many head of
registered stock to the county, for
breeding purposes. They were also
among the first to ship in registered
cows for dairy purposes.
Communities are not built in day, or
year, and it is due to the continued and
patient effort of such men as Cyrus
Overman, through the long years, that
advancement and improvement come
Cyrus Overman belonged to that class
of men of staunch character, unalter-
able determination and unfailing en-
ergy, who alone can pave the way for
modern civilization. At the time he
came to Idaho county, it took men OF
his stamp to live and succeed here, and
as one by one they are gathered to the
Fathers, there is closed another chapter
of early history of toll and hardship.
On Saturday, June 5th, Mr.. Overman
passed to the great beyond. He died as

]. E. Zumwaldt and family of Waits
burg, Washington, drove overland in
their car last week to Grangeville and
spent several days with VIM. Zumwalt
and other relatives. On account of the
bad condition of the roads the trip was
not the most pleasant one. However
the pleasure of their visit her CON-
pensated this easily and the time they
had to spend was away to short. Mr..
Zumwalt is engaged in the retail
machinery business in Washington and
on account of the approaching harvest
season and the resulting demand for
machinery, found it necessary to return
home the first of the week.
