Feb. 19, at the Ramey home in
west Nezperce.
The spacious home was COM
pletely surrendered to the jolly
group of young people who seem
ed to enjoy every minute Of the
time.
The Colds had the amusements
of the evening well arranged and
there was something doing every
minute. A varied program of mu-
sic, games and contests caused the
evening 10 seem altogether too
short.
After a bounteous lunch all de-
parted for their respective homes
with the vow to meet again in a
few hours for the regular Sunday
school work-and the writer is
pleased to state that most Of them
kept their VOW.

Now, when IL comes 10 prepaf-
ing things IN the dinner line, the
men are expected TO take a back
seat, as a matter of course-but
here is an affair that was differ
ent:
The Mems Adult Bible Class OF
the Methodist church of this city
on Tuesday evening gave their
first Leap Year dinner to the la
dies Of the church at the annex.
Every feature Of the treat-the
ideas and the preperation-was
carried out by the men-brave
fellows. all.
The dinner consisted Of five
courses OF as finely prepared food
as could be had-and one Of the
best lady cooks on the prairie,
who was present, so reported il
to us. II was spread and served
in the most approved style, and
the tables were beautifully deco
rated with carnations and ferns
and ribbon souvenirs were place
markers.
Some fifty ladies enjoyed the
feast as well as the musicfeast,
speeches and other social features
at the church following the dim
ner. The entire program was vot-
ed grand success, and any one
who hereafter claims that c. w.
Booth cannot bake beans or that
Frank Cargill is not an expert po-
fato salad mixer will have 10 an
swer TO this group Of ladies. The
ladies did hold that mere man did
not have it in him to prepare such
a feast. They now hold an en-
tirely different view of il.
r. w. Mitchell was chief chef
and all his force of walters were
costumed in the conventional
white jacket and apron.
The only draw back to the en-
tire function is that it is a Leap
Year event and it's long time
between.

VIM Eastman Hurt BY Rolling
LOGS


Ex-County Commissioners VIM.
Eastman, the well known rancher
residing six miles west Of Nez-
perez, sustained a fracture of two
ribs and his right color bone Sun
day morning when a load of logs
he was hauling 10 the Bartlett
mill north of Yollmer rolled on
him.
His injuries were given medical
attention as quickly as possible,
and though suffering consider
able pain, he is making satisfac-
tory recovery and expects TO be
back IN normal condition in about
a month.
Mr. Eastman was hnrrying TO
get logs 10 the Bartlett mill from
a piece of timber he has over IN
the Craig mountain section be-
fore the soft weather ruined the
roads, therefore the Sunday work.
lie is preparing TO put up bulk
granaries and make other inn
provements on his farm this sea-
son. When nearing the mill with
the load of logs, a team ahead Of
him was stopped and while wait
ing for them to start he sat down
on the ground az the side Of his
load. lie was looking away when
the forward team started, and be-
ing somewhat deaf, did not hear
what was taking place. His team
started TO follow the one ahead,
pulling the wagon into a rut caus-
ing it TO overturn- Before Mr..
Eastman knew it the logs were
on him. But, fortunately, he
says, he was little too close 10
the wagon to get the full weight
of the load. Had he been further
back the result must have been
fatal.
"Bill's" many friends are glad
he got through the mishap as well
as he did and sincerely hope
for his rapid and complete reeov-
cry.

HORACE G. MURCH
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
Pioneer Victim Of Rifle
Mishap in Hands Of son-in-
Law at Coburg. Ore

Eugene, Ore, Feb. 29.-AS his
son-in-law stepped TO the front
porch to shoot at a hawk, Horace
G. Murch, aged SO. native son of
Lane county and wealthy land
owner. was killed when the trig-
ger of the gun caught on the door
casing The tragedy occurred at
the home of G. w. Buckingham.
the son-in-Iaw, near Coburg.
Death was instantaneous.
The foregoing message, which
appeared in yesterdays dailies.
brought the first news-0f the sad
ending of a Nezperce pioneer,
who was well known to most of
the older residents of the prairie
Further details Of the tragedy
were not obtainable up to the
time of the Herald's going to
press.
He came to this city about Is
years ago from Pierce City, where
he had been a prominent figure in
the PALMER days of that mining
camp. He was engaged here in
various lines of business and SER
ved as deputy sheriff and as field
deputy for the assessor s office OF
old Nez Perce county at different
times. He was also census taker
for the Nezperee district in 1910.
On the death Of his mother, which
occurred a little over two years
ago at her home near Portland.
he inherited an estate valued az
several thousand dollars and two
years ago this spring moved over
there to take charge Of the same.
His son-in-law, & W. Bucking-
ham, and daughter later followed
him, and were evidently living
with him on his farm at the time
of the fatal accident.
The deceased has no surviving
relatives in this section. His wife,
who died about the time he came
to Nezperce, was a sister of Thos.
the well-known ranch
or and stock buyer of this and
the Russell section.
Three children survive him
Harold and George Murch and
Mrs. Buckingham-all residents
of Oregon.

The Nezperce Chautauqua.

The advertising matter for the
Nezperce Chantauqua- by far the
greatest summer attraction the
prairie ever had--will be forth
coming ere long. Ia the mean
time q little chantauqua talk will
be interesting:
4 The most successful year OF
ehanfamqua history in the west
has just passed. One hundred per
cent more ehautanquas were held
/ last year than in 1914. Ia 1916
there viii be double the number
OF chanfauquaS held ia 1915. This
is remarkable growth.
Two hundred chautauquas in
l9i0i chantauqua prospects were
never brighter. The chautauqua
is recognized and supported by
eight hundred thousand Of the
best men and women IN the west,
from Ii Paso, Texas, 10 Great
Fails, Montana. That number in
eludes the governors Of nearly all
the states ia the west, congress-
men aud senators. and business
and professional men IN every
walk Of life.
And why should not the chau-
tanqua be successful II has been
brought 10 the west through an
insistcnt demand Of the people for
something better than the street
carnival and the cheap side
show. f" II brings to the people
AZ the lowest possible price, en-
teriainment which neither be-
comes sloppy, foolish nor vicious
in character. 1t brings lecturers
and musicians Of national reputa-
tion that could be secured III no
other way. Il is the people 5
university. f"
Chautauqua week offers an
ideal vacation at a minimum ex-
pense and without the necessity
of leaving your own community.
The "kiddies" have the time of
their young lives and the house
wife spends the happiest week of
the year at the chautauqua, aud
the merchant. farmer and profess
sional man find a pleasant relax
alton after the day Is work.
During the past season the pro-
gram was changed every other
day. At your chautauqua next
summer the program viii change
every day. This innovation, al
though costly, is thought will
meet with the hearty approval of
chautauQua folks. Changing the
program every day means that
your season ticket win permit you
to see just double the number of
within the same period
of time.
Prominent among the attrac-
tions is Victor Murdoch, one of
America 5 best known statesmen.
Victor Murdoch is known as the
sredhcaded, frecklcd faced, Irish
insurgcnt, who scattered corrupt
politics to the winds. Murdoch
is man for men. He viii enthuse

And there are other lecturers.

 No, sir,'' said the boy in his shrill young voice. Everybody knew Dave Pollock at the Republic. He came there lot-him and MT. Slade."
 And he was pretty generous in his tips, wasn't he?" The question was quiet, and the District Attorney, who had made a move to interrupt, sank back without speaking as the boy an- sWered:
 "Oh, so-so! He could afford to be-"
 And so, on the night when he asked you to take that message to Miss Page, he gave you a good big tip, didn't he?"
 "Yes," said the boy, beginning to whimper again. But I didn't do it for that. I didn't think there was any harm in the message. He says to me says he, It's just a joke I'm playin on her, Joe,' he says. want to fool her. And he gimme five dollars-and laughed-and told me to beat it-and I did,"
