Break Into Whitebird Store
and Take Supplies, Guns,
Ammunition, Etc.
ARE NEAR FERDINAND
Sheriff's Force on Trail and
Early Capture is Antic-
ipated.

James II. Davis and George Smead,
two convicts at the honor camp now
engaged in building road on the state
highway at point ON the Salmon
river above Whitebird, made their es-
cape some time during Sunday night
and before leaving for their new ad
dress visited the town of Whitebird
and entered the Salmon River Stores
Co. establishment and helped them
selves to clothing, supplies and rifles
and ammunition and 5000 I'm cash.
Davis is man OF light complexion
about feet 8 inches IN height, and
Smead is described as half-breed
Indian, small and with two front
teeth missing.
A boat was also missing from its
moorings and 1t Is thought the men
used this means of leaving the dis
trict, although a very dangerous un-
dertaking at any season Of the year
and particularly SO now on account
of the high water. The county officers
were notified and Deputy Sheriff Ell
Ter was dispatched to the scene In an
effort to pick up the trail. From the
fact that nothing was heard of the
convicts from the surrounding country,
IL has been the general belief that
they have been in hiding and today
at noon Sheriff Yates received word
from northwest of the city that two
men carrying rifles had been seen
headed toward Lawyers canyon. I'M
mediately after lunch Sheriff Yates
and Deputy Quinlan left for the north
side in the formers auto and people
returning from Cottonwood late this
evening bring the report that the men
We're located in Il section of the coun-
try out from Cottonwood, and quite
a number of citizens armed themselves
and went out 10 render any possible
assistance and up to the time of going
to press we have been unable TO learn
of result.
The men remaining in the camp ap-
peared before Engineer Hazard and
announced they desired their savings
at Boise and the wages they will be
allowed for the outside work to be
used in the recapture of the escaped
convicts. They sent word to White
bird that they would pay the mer-
chant for the goods stolen.
This action on the part of the con-
victs followed an Indignation meeting
as a result of the escape of Davis and
Smead. They told Mr.. Hazard that
they wanted to remain on the work,
that every man had renewed his
pledge to so conduct himself as to
give the least trouble to the men in
charge of the camp and that they are
very appreciatiye of the opportunities
that have been provided them.
Reward Us Offered
/ a reward of SIOO for each of the
men was offered yesterday by Gov
ernor Moses Alexander. the reward to
be paid upon the return of the pris-
oners to the wardes Of the state pen
4 itentiary.

LEwIsTON's ANNUAL ROSE SHOW

Lewiston, Idaho, June {, 19l6-For
Lewiston's Annual Rose Fair to be
held on Saturday, June 10th. list of
no less than two hundred exhibitors
is assured, thus making the most com
prehensiye display of roses ever seen
in the inland empire. From a modest
beginning of a few years ago, this an
nual event has now grown to a mag
nitude to attract northwest attention.
As indicative of this fact, the Port
land Rose society is to have a repre-
sentation in the Lewiston pageant.
This pageant it is now estimated will
represent from fifty to seyentWtiye
floats. The Annual Rose Fair in Lew
iston now assumes the form of a holi-
day there, all citizens participating
with lawn feteS and elaborate musical
programs and other features at a
beautiful park located on Normal hill.
The annual exhibition is made 30 81
BILE through membership of 1000 citi-
zens. The railroads have allowed spe-
cial rates for the event and delega-
tions are expected from many points.

INSPECT WORK
ON STATES
HIGHWAY
Commissioners Visit Salmon
River Camp-Find Work
Satisfactory.

County Commissioners Nate B. Pet
tibone and John ID. Long went down
to Whitebird early this week to make
an investigation of the rumors that
have been persistently spread to the
effect that work being done on the
state highway was unsatisfactory and
that the money was being wasted.
Commissioner John n. Rice, who was
severely injured some time ago, arriy-
ed at the camp shortly after his col
leagues had finished their investiga-
ton, but in time to 60 over the fig-
ures submitted by the engineer in
charge
The commissioners returned from
their trip yesterday and are emphatic
in their denial as TO there being any
foundation for the rumors, but found
an entirely satisfactory state OF af-
fairs.
The work that is being done is in
the direct charge of Engineer Haz-
zard and is being executed according
to the specifications adopted by the
highway commission, and is Of per.
manent character In the matter of
the amount Of work being performed
by the convicts employed, the investi-
cation proved To the satisfaction of
the commissioners that a better crew
of workers could not be found any
where, and that each man on ,Ee job
was moving 13 and 40 cubic yards
of dirt and loose rock daily, which is
stated by those who are familiar with
that class of work to be considerably
above the average.
! From financial standpoint the
work was found to be progressing In
a pleasing manner. Taking the sal
aries of the engineer the guards, the
/ laborers and the cost of the food sup
ply, it was found that the expense
was approximately $1.05 per day fol
each man on the job.
Relative to the escape of the two
conyicts recently, Mr.. Pettibone stat
ed that the prisoners on the work
drew up paper and sent it to Mr.
Nevins of the Salmon River Stores
Co., stating that they would donate
their meager salaries to reimburse
the company for the goods stolen by
the two men at the time of their de
parture, and that the proffer had beer
turned down by Mr.. Nevins, who fell
that 1t would be unfair to hold the
men responsible for the escapades OF
the two who took French leave.

Thursday afternoon stating that his
personal opinion was that Hughes

ton by the Progressives and that the
name of Hughes had been placed be

HAD BIG TIME AT COTTONWOOD.

That the Farmers Union of Cotton
wood is wide awake organization and
thoroughly alelt to the best interests
of the community was demonstrated
Thursday, when the union pulled off
a program which not only reflected
credit upon the management but elic-
tied much praise from the crowd that
participated.
The exercises. while not intended
to be elaborate. were nevertheless Ell
joyable from every standpoint, remind
ing one distinctly of the old time coun-
ty fairs, where hospitality congenial-
ity and fraternalism abOunded. There
was a large crowd present from all
parts of the county with delegations
from Grangeville, Nezperce, Ferdinand
and Vollmer. The delegation from
Grangeville was made up largely of
members of the Commercial club, who
took advantage of the opportunity to
boost the coming chautauqua and scat
ter some literature.
At IL o'clock sharp a big picnic din
ner was served in the rooms of the To-
cal unions warehouse, and about 250
persons participated in the repast. Aft
er the big feed was over and the rem
nants cleaned up, V Mccall, state
president Farmers Cooperative Union
of America addressed the crowd. The
speakers remarks were along the line
Of cooperative buying, and emphasis
was laid upon this method as the only
panacea for the high cost Of living.
This is the first function of the kind
the Cottonwood union has ever at
tempted, and the results were so graf
flying that the management expects
to make it regular and permanent
affair. Music was furnished for the
occasion by the Denver band, and the
committees in charge were \. Jensen
j. Tacke and George Downer.
Ferdinand VS.. Cottonwood.
The ball game in the afternoon be
tween Ferdinand and Cottonwood was
a fine exhibition, enjoyed a large pa
tronage and resulted in n victory fol
the latter by a score of 3 to 2.
A large number Of people went oyel
from here and while enjoying the fes
tivities did lot of good boosting fol
the chautauqua. If the weather is
favorable the Cottonwood people viii
respond nobly.
