THE KILLARNEY GIRLS HERE
FRIDAY. DECEMBER 8TH.

Speaking of the Killarney Girls, who
will be at the Grangeville opera house
ON Friday night, Dec. s, the Great
Bend, (Kans.) Daily Tribune says:
The Killarney Girls are one of the
hits of the seven day Chautauquas
The program this afternoon was al
most strictly an Irish one, as might be
expected from their name. They sang
songs, THE Wearin of the Green" and
they surely wore it.
Miss Laura Worno, in inimitable
Irish pianolog, Irish Name" and
"Sing, Kate Sing" gave a realistic
touch of Irish humor.
Miss Peggy Andrews, with her mar
velous contralto voice, contributed real
sentiment in ireland, Dear Ireland,'
and Mother Machree." Anyone who
has heard Madame Schumann- Heinch
will readily associate Miss Andrews
with the great contralto.
The star of the organization Is Miss
Rita Rich and as a child impersonatoI
she is unsurpassed. She is good so
prano and is vivacious and versatile
from the moment she appears unit
she leaves the platform.
This is the most professional organ
! ization that has ever been in our city,

SERIOUSLY, IF NOT FATALLY
RTIRNED

Albert Jess, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Jess, living between Green
Greek and Winona, was seriously, If
not fatally burned Wednesday at the
Lee Johnson place, about mile from
the Jess home Young Jess, who is
about % years of age, was doing the
chores for Lee Johnson, who was at
tending the stock show at Lewiston,
and was thawing out the frozen pipes
on the gas engine used on the farm.
He was soaking some burlap sack I'm
gasoline taken from the five gallon can
sitting near by and wrapping them
about the pipes and setting them on
fire. In some way the large can of gas
exploded throwing the ignited gaso-
line all over the young man who was
wrapped in flames in a moment. He
ran around the house in his intense
agony and the folks could not get to
him to render assistance. Finally he
jumped into the horse trough with
water iii it and quenched the flames
but not until his clothing was practic-
ally burned off of him. DR.. Stockton
who was called, says the young mans
body was burned black all over and
his condition is most serious.

CONSTRUCTING SETTLERS INDE-
PENDNT PHONE LINE.

The Nezperce Forest has telephone
line from Grangeville to the Montana
line on the east This line was used
for a time by the settlers inside of the
U. $. forest throughout the Clearwater
section tributary thereto, with a
switch at Castle Creek. over which
Forest Ranger Thomas Crossley, pre-
sided. The use of the line became so
great that the forest department at
last had to cut the homesteaders off
Now the Forest Service; under the
direction of Supervisor Geo. Ring is
'cooIetat atingsawith the settlers in the
construction of a&pew phone line from
Castle OSfeeks to Grangeville, IA dis
taace of fMrten miles, which will be
entirely inslRpendent of the forest line.
Mr.. Ring is iSTbuilding the first four
miles out of Grangeville and the set
tiers are building the other ten miles.
The settlers lines which centered at
Castle Creek under the old arrange
ment are all in good shape, and the
construction of the straight line of ten
miles toward Grangeville will do the
turn on the part of the homesteaders,
thus furnishing them Independent con
nection with the outside world. This
no doubt, will prove far more salts
factory to both parties concerned than
the old arrangement, for much more
ready service can now be secured oveI
both lines.

IS BADLY BURNED

center of the building, and attempt

and in doing so worked his way from
the head of the stairs. The fire got
between him and the exit, and seeing
that his retreat was cut off he threw
heavy comforter over his head and
made an attempt to get through and
down the stairs. In the effort the COM
forter was practically burned up and
and he sustained burns on the
hands and about the face, and
inhaled a great deal of the heated
smoke, from which he has suffered
greatly since.
Mr.. Hockersmith, who runs the Rice

Grangevile, and the citizens here re-

PETE JOHNSON LOST BEYOND

Orogrande, and Mr.. Reaves went on
down to Lewiston for a few days on
business and Lee went to Spokane
where he will take a course at a busi-

tearing a hole through the sole of his
shoe. He has now fully. recovered
from the electrical stroke.
Mr.. Reaves stated to a Globe re-
porter that i'm his opinion there was
no doubt but that Pete Johnson had
lost his life in the SNOW storm of Oct.
% and 20 while out hunting deer in
the Buffalo Hump country. The last
man known to have seen Pete was
Lee Colgrove who was DIT Pete's cabin
at Fish Lake near Calendar. Lee had
gone up fishing and when he met
Pete the latter told him he would be
down to Orogrande on election dav to
vote.
Lee told Pete he was going to make
trip to Whistling Ridge in few
days, and he asked Lee to leave some
supplies for him at the forks os the
road three miles from his cabin. Pete
evidently went after the supplies on
Oct. 2Sth, for note was found near
by at Ash's barn, under date of the
2Sth, which read as follows.

/ Not showing up on election day, as
promised, Pete Klinkhammers went to
Johnson's cabin, where he found every
thing as usual except Pete and his gun
were gone. Some dried fruit was found
on the stove soaking, and there was
every indication that the owner expect
ed to return the same day he had
left the place. A searching party com
posed of ]. p. Reaves, Lee Colgroye,

ed and put in three days looking for
the lost man, but without result, The
day Johnson left on the hunt it begun
showing and continued until 21a feet
had fallen in two days. There is every
reason for believing that the old-timer
has gone on his last hunt; that he
fell over a cliff, accidentally shot him.

Miss Letitia Frizzell, the Grange
vile candidate and Western Union tel
egraph operator at this place, was ell
ected Queen of the Northwest Live
stock Show. Her election was over
whelming, the vote being 46,0S5 for our
candidate to 29,9S0 cast for the next
highest contestant Her success was

active and aggressive campaign con-
Quoted for her by her loyal supporters
at Grangeville, including Harold Har-

Sunday morning the "Grangeville
Cowboy Band" and large delegation
of citizens from this place and other
prairie points, escorted the newly cleo
ted dignitary to Lewiston where she
assumed the queenly role with modest
but graceful dignity. The Daily Tri-
bune in speaking of the closing NOM
ents of the contest, says:
THE contest ended with whirlwind
finish that surpassed all expectations,
the last returns being received only
two minutes before the contest was
closed at IL o'clock.
"Grangeville was in the fight to win,
as evinced by the many inquiries over
the telephone during the early evening.
As the hour of closing approached the
Grangeyille citizens leased the wire,
with the understanding that there
should be no Interruptions of service
or no "cut-ins' at points between
fGrangeville and Lewiston. The last
word from Grangeville at just two
minutes before the closing time came
from Frank McGrane when he gave
instructions to add just $4,000 votes
to Miss Frizzell's credit That was the
report that placed Miss Frizzell in the
safe lead and brought most enthus-
iastic cheer from the 800 citizens who
gathered about the headquarters while
the votes were being canvassed.
THE support given Miss Frizzell by
the Grangeville people and citizens
generally of the prairie country moi
