The United States is at last in
volved in warfare with Mexico,
or at least, has invaded that coun-
try to avenge the murder of six
teen American citizens. On
March 9th Francisco Villa, the
outlawed Mexican bandit, raided
the town of Columbus, New Mex
leo, with 1900 of his followers
and killed sixteen residents of
the town and wounded many
others, setting the town on fire
and escaping back across the
border, but not until more than
a hundred of his men had paid
the penalty and left their bodies
on American soil. Villa and his
band sneaked into Columbus in
the night and were not discover
ed until seen by one of the soldiers
on guard. He fired on the in
truders and this started the fray,
the outlaws shooting down the
citizens as they came from their
houses. Several of the army Of
ficers' quarters were riddled with
Mexican bullets, having been
pointed out by Mexican residents
of the town, and in the meantime
others poured oil onto buildings
and fired them, shooting the peo=
pie down as they fed from the
flames.
At the first alarm the small
bunch of troops quartered in the
town rushed to arms and within
a few minutes were taking dead
ly toll from the invaders, being
ably assisted by many of the citi-
zens who had barricaded them
selves in their homes and fought
off the enemy to the best of their
ability. The defense put up by

1t is thought that the contract
for the construction of the hard
surface road between Lewiston
and Uniontown will be let by the
last of March or early in April.
All the preliminaries are being
gone over carefully SO that as
soen as the bond issue is sold the
work of construction can be be-

The backing up of water near
the city park in east Lewiston
has made necessary the cutting
of dam constructed there by a
beaver colony in order to keep
the water from destroying the
park. The beavers had felled
trees 18 inches in diameter in con-
structing their dam and had car
ried large quantities of drift wood
for a considerable distance to
work it into the dam.
About $50 farmers and their
wives met at Lapwai Saturday
and took the initial steps for or
ganizing Lapwai local of the
Farmers Union. The same day
fully a hundred Indians met at
that place and organized the Nez
Perce Indian Farmers associa-
ton. Many of the Indians are
taking a deep interest in better
farming and stockraising and the
farming of the association will
assist materially in advancing
these interests.
Frank Zalenka, a prominent
lumberman of Orofno, has taken
the initial steps to save a vast
quantity of burned over timber
in the North Fork country which
was partially destroyed by forest
fires in 1910. Mr.. Zalenka will
buy the timber from the home
steaders and drive it down to his
mill at Ahsahka where it will be
converted into lumber. Most of
the timber is white pine and the
first drive will probably amount
to two and one-half million feet.
w. A. Swarensky, a farmer of
the Kamiah section, was given a
preliminary hearing at Grange

the district court under $500
bonds on a charge of stealing and
killing a neighbor's calf. Pat
Kelly, who had had trouble with
Swarensky, claimed he saw the
latter killing the calf one night
as he was returning home from
a dance and told the owner he
would find the animals hide in
an old well near Swarensky's
barn, which was done.

PIONEER FARMER
DIES SUDDENLY
Joseph Schmidt, the Widely
Known Greencreek Farmer,
Falls Victim to Meningitis
Last Monday.

This community, as we'll as ad-
joining communities, was greatly
shocked Monday afternoon when
the death of Joseph Schmidt, one
of Idaho county's most prominent
and prosperous farmers, was an
nounced. The death came quite
suddenly, the deceased having
eaten supper with his family Sat-
urday evening and was taken i'll
at an early hour Sunday morning.
DR.. Turner was summoned and
DIR. Shinnick was called in con-
sultation. They at once diagnosed
the case as an infection of the
middle ear, which had spread
to the mastoid cells b a C k
of the ear and that an immediate
operation was necessary and that
even this was a last resort. Prep
arations for the operation were
made and the skull was trephined
but it was found that the accum-
ulation ofpus had broken through
into the cerebral cavity and men,
ingitis developed, causing death
Monday afternoon.
Joseph Schmidt was born in
Greencreek. Illinois, and was 81
years of age at the time of his
death. He was married at that
place to Miss Bernadina Nuxoll
and shortly afterward moved to
Idaho. For several years they
resided on farm southeast of
this place, moving from there to
the homestead at Greencreek
ONE eighteen years ago, where
tkey have lived continuously since
that time. To this union ten
children were born, all of whom
are still living. Being first class
farmer and frugal he built up one
of the finest farm homes in the
county and gradually accumula-
ted other land and property until
he became one of the wealthiest
farmers in the county. But
wealth and success in life did not
make Joseph Schmidt proud or
vain and he was always consider
ed one of the substantial men of
his community, the friend of ev-
eryone and the man on whom to
call when in need of advice or
assistance in time of trouble. A
thorough Christian, he lived his
life each day as nearly as possible
according to the teachings of his
faith and was recognized by all
as one in whom absolute depend
ence could be placed at all times.
The deceased had resided in
Idaho % years to a day when he
died and his death is recognized
as a material loss to the entire
section in which he is best known.
He leaves to mourn his loss a
widow, ten children, one brother
in Illinois, half-brother, John
Uhlorn of Ferdinand, many rela-
tives and countless friends.
The funeral was held Wednes-
day morning from the Catholic
church at Greencreek, interment
being made in the cemetery at
that place. Forty teams compos-
ed the procession that followed
the remains to their last resting
place, bearing silent testimonial
to the deep esteem in which the
deceased was held.
The grief of the stricken family
and relatives may be in part as
suaged by the knowledge that a
good man has gone to his just
reward and that earth was bet
ter for his presence here.
