A distressing accident occurred at

three miles east of Meridian. John

did not see the approaching car un-
til too late.
The auto was completely demol-
ished and both men badly hurt. DR..
Dutton, OF Meridian, was summoned
and the men taken TO Boise hospi-
tai. Clayborn received severe cuts
and bruises but not dangerous but
Or. Dutton is fearful that the in
iuries to Mr. Evans are very severe
and from which he may not survive.
Everybody knows big, good natur-

his frequent buying trips In this vic

the people are glad to see him. We
hope the report OF his condition will
prove less serious than first given

DEATH OF MRS. O. p. HENDER-


Meridian people we're shocked We'd
nesday afternoon in hearing of the
death of Mrs. o. P. Henderson, at a
Boise hospital. Three weeks ago an
operation for cancer of the breast
was performed and Il was thought
she was getting better. Arrange
ments had been made to take her
home when pneumonia set in and
for the past week her condition had
been critical.
In speaking of her death the Boise
Statesman OF yesterday said:
Mrs. Henderson, was born in
Iowa, but moved TO Nebraska when
lquite young She married in that
state and lived Their until coming to
Boise five years ago when, with her
family, she occupied Elderwood
ranch near Meridian. This beautiful
country home was the scene OF much
entertaining, Mrs. Hendershot prov
ing a most gracious and popular hos
tess. When three years ago the fam
| lily moved into town their new home
on Hayes street was equally popular.
With the exception of her sister,
Mrs Lynch, who has been visiting
her for some months, not a member
Of the family knew of Mrs. Hender-
shots need for an operation, as In
her unselfishness she wished to keep
them from worrying until the last
minute Even another sister, Mrs.
Strong. who visited her during July
was not told of it. Besides her Wild
over, Mrs. Henderson, leaves three
children. Ralph, who is married and
has one child, Eugene and Estelle.
who are attending the Boise high
school, and three sisters. Mrs. j II.
Lynch, Mrs. G. w. Strong OF Daven-
port, Iowa, and Mrs. Walter Lewis
OF Kenwpod Point, Iowa.
Rev. Joel Brown, of Meridian, has
been asked to take charge of the
funeral, at the Schrieber & Siden-
faden chapel at Boise to-day (Fri-
day.. The funeral will be private. |
The people OF this part OF the
county have very friendly feeling |
for the family. as former neighbors |
We all realize that the loss of a |
mother is a tragedy in home and |
that there is no recompense except |
In the sweet memory OF life of love |
and devotion to the family. No one |
can take the place of mother but IL |
Ia equally true that no one has q |
richer heritage to hand down to those |
who are left behind.
Mr. Hendershot and family came |
out from Hebron, Nebraska, five |
years ago, with the intention OF |
making this state their permanent
home. They were ambitious and |
hopeful. and Mr.. Hendershot has |
been successful In q business way, |
and is the busy secretary of the Gem
State fair.The sudden death OF his
devoted wife who has been his val
liable aid In all his undertakings. is
severe blow and he has the sym
pathy OF his former neighbors In
the Meridian section.

A False Rumor.

Certain individuals interest
ed in the live stock commission
business have been busy the
past week spreading rumors
through the country that the
Equity c. Cooperative Exchange
was not going to handle live
stock, by reason of the fact that
they we're refused a member
ship on the South St. Paul
Stock Exchange. Now, the
Equity Cooperative Exchange
was refused a membership by
the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce, but they are today
a larger commission firm than
any firm doing business in
Minneapolis, and simply be-
cause they were not permitted
to purchase a membership in
the South st. Paul Live Stock
Exchange is no reason why
they should not 90 into the live
stock business. Other rumors
have been circulated to the
effect that this selling agency
was for stockholders of the
Equity Cooperative Exchange
only. This is not true. The
liYe stock department of the
Equity Co.. Operative Exchange
will handle live stock from any
individual or shipping associa-
ton that has live stock to
market. and they are in posi-
ton to give the very best of
service. All live stock should
be consigned direct to the
Equity Cooperative Exchange
at South St. Paul, Minnesota.
