 sible for Accident

The civil action O. Philip Zaltas, who runs store on Elm street, vs. Philias Cloutier, whose place of business is in the rear of the Mullan block, was heard by r.. H. Johnson, justice of the peace, Monday afternoon. Judgment was for the plaintiff.
 Mr. and Mrs. Zaltas and their daughter, Mrs. Speigleman, and hus- band, testified that they were on the way to Providence in small Ford truck Sunday morning, Aug. 9th. When nearing the Harmony hotel they saw two large trucks standing out front. The trucks started of and they soon overlook them. They pas sed the first one, which was owned by Samuel Smith. They came up back of the other one, driven by the defend ant, land blew their horn, Cloutier motloned for them 10 pnss. The plain- tiff went by at the side of the road and as he came back inlo the highway he claimed ClouIier ran towards him and smashed into his machine.
 His machine was damaged by hay. ing htud wheel broken, the fender and running boatd broken, one tire and two tubes damaged. He said 1t cost him S46 55 to have the machine re pnired and he clamed a loss of s25 for horse hire while the machine Was out of commission.
 Zaltas said that there was no at tempt made 10 assist him and that he could not get his machine out of the roed until Joseph Langlois came along and gave him assistance. He sent 10 Joys garage and had man come | down and make the repairs necessary to get his party home.
 Judge J. Harry Mann told of view 1 ing the injured machine and gave il as | his opinion that il had been run into. Among the witnesses for the defense were David Delisle, Joseph Chennetie, l phonse Viens and the defendant They | testified that as the truck was going along plaintiff came up behind. His wheel was down in the gutter and he lost control Of the machine which ran into the pathway of the Gloutier ma chine. They said that the Cloulier machine was on the right hand side of lhe road and continued on that side. The ease was continued until Tues ! day morning when two more witnes- ses were heard. Joseph Langlois told of stopping to help Zaltas out of the road so he could pass and Wilfred Benoit said he saw marks in the gut ter which denoted that the wheel broke there.
 Justice Johnson said that the evi. dence was conflicting. That il appear. ed 10 him from sll of the circumstances that plaintiff was crowded by the Cloutier machine and he thought the fact that there was no assistance given the owner of the damaged car was sig nificant as was the fact that the de- fendant, who was driving the truck, did not testify fully as 10 just what did happen.
 He found for the plaintiff to recover damages of S7l.75 and costs Of sl5 65.
 Plaintiff was represented by Lawyer NJ. II. Geissle, and defendant by Law yer Archie Macdonald. Notice of ap. peal was given.

. County Assist on Bridge

Jack Wills and E. B. Meeker
came up from Kooskia this week
and appeared before the board in
advocacy of a county appropria-
ton to assist the people down
there in the Reconstruction of
the bridge across the Clearwater
which has been condemned and
apt to go out with the high waters
of spring. The bridge will cost
considerable over $4,000 and the
burden Of building the same is
such that the community could
not assume it entirely. After
considering the matter the board
agreed to assume a third of the
cost of construction and thus
tighten the burden some upon
the people down there who are
carrying about all the tax. they
can. Free Press.

Can Leave HomeSteadS

Temporary absence from a
homestead is not abandonment.
This is the ruling laid down by
the supreme court in placing a
construction on sections 1852
1855. The issue came up in the
case of w. R. and Maude E.
Goldensmith vs.. the Snowstorm
Mining company, on appeal from
the First judicial district for Sho-
shone county. The Snowstorm
Mining company was in posses
sion of certain lands the Golden
smiths had occupied as a home
stead. They brought suit against
the mining company to quiet title
to the property in them, claiming
they had but left the property
but temporarily. The Snowstorm
Mining company contended they
had abandoned the homestead
for a period of five years. 1t
seems the Goldensmiths were
poo and had to leave the home
stead for long periods in order to
support themselves. The supreme
court hell that they had the right
to do this and still retain title to
he property. The opinion is
unanimous. 1t was written by
Justice Alfred Bulge. Judgment
given by the lower court for the
plaintiff is affirmed.

Little One Victim
OF Pneumonia

Eta, the little two-year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. E.
Fredericks, died at their home in
this city early Sunday morning
from bronchial pneumonia after
an illness of only a couple of days
and was buried Monday morning,
the funeral being held from the
Nau undertaking parlors. The
death of the little one was quite
sudden, as she and her little sis
ter were taken i'll only a couple
of days before, and at the time
of little Etta's death the other
child lay at deaths door but has
since passed the crucial stage
and is on the road to recovery.
Mrs. Fredericks was not at home
at the time, she having been un-
der the care of a nurse for the
past several weeks, and did not
know of the illness of her little
one until death had claimed it.
The sorrowing parents have the
sympathy of many friends in
their bereavement.

SECURES fine
LYCEUM COURSE
Commercial Club Contracts
With Redpath Bureau and
will Furnish Five Fine En-
tertainment Features.

Through the action taken Mon
day by the Commercial club in
closing contract with Mrs. Day,
of the Redpath Lyceum Bureau,
the citizens of Cottonwood and
vicinity are assured of the oppor-
tunity of enjoying some of the
finest entertainment features
next fall and winter that have
ever been brought to Camas prai-
rie. The course will consist of
five numbers, which will include
Nels Darling, the famous lect-
urer; Scheldkrets' Hungarian or
chestra; the American male quar-
tette; the Fairchild female quar-
tette, and j. Adam Bede. lecturer.
The first number will appear here
sometime in October or Novem-
Der and the others in January,
February and March.
The best talent in the United
States is under contract with the
Redpath bureau for lyceum and
chautauqua work and any num-
bers that are secured from that
bureau are guaranteed to be high
class in every respect. 1t cost
the Commercial club almost $500
to secure the five numbers above
named and to defray these ex-
penses season tickets will be
placed on sale at an early date at
So. SO each, or so cents seat for
each number on the lyceum pro-
gram. Single admissions will be
placed at a higher sum so it will
pay all who enjoy fine music and
lectures to secure their season
tickets and attend every number.
In contracting for the above
attractions the commercial club
did so with a view of providing a
better class of entertainment for
the residents of the west side of
the county than can u'ually lie
had here. Few of our people
have an opportunity of going to
the larger cities each year and,
as a consequence, have to content
themselves with the poor or in.
different amusement features
that visit the smaller towns.
Since it is almost impossible for
our people to go where the better
attractions are, the club decided
to bring some of these attractions
here and the signing of the con.
tract with the Redpath company
was the result. 1t is to be hoped
that the public will appreciate
the efforts of the club in this
matter and will show their ap,
probation in a substantial man
ner and attend every number ir
the course.
If the present attempt proves
a success the club will undoubt
edly contract for another cours'
for the winter of 1918 and will
bring in numbers such as usual!
