H. E. Meidl of the Smoke
House, Well Known Bust
ness Man, in Trouble.
CAUGHT ATLEWISTON
Will be Taken to Lewiston To-
morrow Where He Will En-
ter Plea of Guilty"

On Monday evening of this week
number of the people of the city
were startled by the report that III. 10.
Meidl of the Smoke House had Sc
verely beaten his wife hut the matter
did not become generally known until
on towards midnight. 1t is stated
that the trouble first started while
the family was at dinner mt the I'm
perial hotel and was brought to a eli
max after their return to their place
of business. where they maintained
sleeping quarters.
From all accounts the beating was
administered just before seven o'clock
as at about that time the house be-
gan to fill up with bowlers ara fans
who participated in contest during
the evening and pinochle players who
occupied the tables until 4 late hour.
1t came to light the following morn
ing that very few of those In the house
knew of the circumstances the eve
ming before and most of those who
were informed thought it only fam
| lily quarrel in which the weaker se&
had been worsted as usual. Mrs
Meidl was heard to be crying during
the early part of the evening but no
attention was paid to 1t. The rooms
being located on the news side of the
establishment connected by door with
curtains, customers and lady friends
of Mrs. Meidl on entering noticed chat
the door between the rooms was shut
and the familiar face of the lady alb.
sent, which seemed unusual. Later it
is said Mrs. Meidl attempted to leave
the room and was showed back by the
husband who followed her within. An
employee went to the rear of the build
ing to the bowling alley to call Sher-
iff Yates who was entered In the bowl
ing contest, stating that he wished he
would go in there as they were having
an awful time. The officer was Of the
opinion that he mad no business en-
tering the private quarters of the fam
| lily without being called, and felt that
it was only one more of the family
quarrels being pulled off. However
! it turned out to be otherwise. As
soon as it was known that Mrs. Meidl
was hurt DR.. Stockton was called to
ascertain the damage that had been
done and alleviate the sufferings of
the injured lady. Bruises ON her right
hip and a cash on the nose and both
eyes blackened were found by the ply
sician.
When the house was closed at twelve
o'clock Meidl was seen to leave the
place with suit case and later re-
turned and went to the cash register,
and it is said removed the contents
Mrs. Meidl, realizing that she was
alone, and fearing that the work of
her husband might be considered un-
finished if he should return went to
the telephone and called Sheriff Yates
at his residence. The sheriff went to
the place and with the assistance of
some of the ladies from the Imperial
hotel removed her to that place where
she is now confined to her room. The
following morning, Tuesday, Mrs.

Applications Awaiting Issu
ance Bring Total Above
Million Mark.
COLLECT $545,l5S.4O
Total Amount of Loans in Ar
rears Jan. 1, 1915 Amounts
to $114,345.

On demand of one of the members
OF the state land board, the following
data regarding the state land depart
ment has recently been gathered and
can be depended upon as accurate:
Total acreage now under lease 914.-
Alb acres. Applications for leases
already filed and waiting issuance
when added to the above amount
equal in excess Of 100000 acres Of
land leased.
The interest and rental collected
by the state from all sources amount
for the year 1915, to $545, ,15S.40.
The amount of interest due the state
on loans prior to January l, 1914,
which still remains unpaid, is $12,-
1880.
The total amount Of loans in ar
rears before January 1, 1915, is $114,-
345.
The total acreage of state lands sold
in 1914, was 26995.S7 acres, and in
1915 was 27,46S.25 acres.
Total receipts on grazing leases for
the year 1914, $24, 4,496.59 and for 1915
$22,9 ,905.11. The decrease is accounted
for in the fact that in 1914 a great
number Of leases were renewed and
from the further fact that in 1915 a
reconstruction of the leasing question
has been going on, resulting in the CIV
ing over to agricultural purposes large
areas heretofore held under grazing
leases which are now in the course
of cOnsummatiOn.
The total amount received for agri-
cultural leases in 1914 $17,77469, and
in 1915, $19,540.2S.
The total amount received from
sales of timber in 1914, $1,000, and in
1915, $109, ,102.47.
The total amount received from all
sales and leases during the year 1914,
amounted to $751, ,206.26, and in 1915,
to $685., ,57S.9S. The decrease in 1915
over 1914 is accounted for in the fact
that payments on state land contracts
were not demanded in 1915 on account
of the law providing for the extension
of such under the forty-year plan and
the allowance hE the board under said
law of the dividing Of 1915 principal
payments into the extension contracts.
The total acreage granted to the
state by the government through the
enabling act and special grants,
amounts approximately to 3,31S,OS0
acres.
The exact acreage cannot be def
nitely determined on account of the
school grant embracing sections 16 and
36 in each township, the total acreage
of which it is considered amounts to
about 2,65000 acres, which added to
the special grants for other state in
stitutions, aggregates the total above
given
The total acreage sold up to date
is 430,6S0 acres.
The total acres remaining unsold
and in possession of the state is ap-
proximately 2,867, 400 acres.
The proportionate share that the
state university receives from the spe-
cial grant land is OATS per cent, or
S25, ,907.41 for the year 1915.

OBITUARY.

Died-William l.. Smith in the dist
year or his age, at the home of LLOYD
Spencer near Denver on the Goth dav
of April, 1916.
Funeral services were held in the
M. u. church at Denver Idaho, Sat
urday, the 22nd, Rev. E. A. Cook of
the Grangeville Baptist church con-
Quoting the services.
So far as earthly existence is con-
cerned this marks the end of a noble
but somewhat unusual career.
OF his parents he never had any
definite knowledge.
1t is known that he was placed in
an orphans asylum in Sacramento.
California, at very tender age, and
that he was stolen from that institu-
tion when less than four years old.
He was brought to Camas prairie by
a man and his wife by the name of
Almond, who sold their place to John
p. Hartman and the lad of nine years
fell into the hands of Joshua S. Har-
riman.
Under the kind and humane treat
ment Of his new friends, he soon be-
gan to develop the manly and lovable
traits which have endeared him thru
the years to his wide circle of ac-
quaintances.
In the pioneer conditions of a quar-
ter century ago it was almost inevita-
bic that he should have some of the
experiences of a cowboy but the years
passed in that arduous work failed to
detract from his manly and upright
character. He could ride with the
best, but he could also refuse the un-
manly and unnecessary immoralities
of some of his fellow workers.
Mr.. Harriman's residence was al.
ways his home, and the place of warm
and sincere welcome.
And though in recent years he has
followed his natural bent, in working
IS a machinist, and has consequently
been much away from home, his fire.
quent returns were always gladly an
ticipated. With a naturally sunny
and cheerful disposition, and a life
singularly free from the vicious ten
denotes that are all to common, he
leaves in every acquaintance a sorrow
ing heart.

tertainers are to change daily and
each day will see a completely new

gram. A completely new aggregation

Probably the most interesting single
announcement is the fact that Wltep-

Following the program the pastor
delivered an illustrated Easter SER
mon. At the conclusion of the sermon
Wayne Cecil Wiley, the son of Mr..
and Mrs George Wiley, was dedicat-
ed to God in baptism. During PAS
sion Week" emphasis was placed on
self-denial, which eliminated In East
er mornings offering of $6237 for
church benevolent work.
The evening service was a special
Easter musicale. The choir rendered
four anthems, and the Arion Male
chorus two numbers. For the excel
lently rendered pieces much acxnowl-
edgement is due Mr.. Hilbourne who is
director of both the choir and the
male chorus.
Solos were sung with credit and eff
feet by Mrs. A. NJ. Baker and Mrs M.
Reese Hattabaugh A beautiful duet
by A. Urbahn and A. o. Hess brought
forth much praise.
1t was an ideal Easter, nature was
vitally aglow. 1t was therefore be-
fitting. that the church should be
crowded with people of CHEEKY coun-
tenances worshipfully disseminating
spiritual regeneration.
very pleasing and interesting
Easter program was rendered at the
Christian church last Sunday, and was
thoroughly appreciated by the large
audience in attendance Following is

After grace was said the dinner was
enjoyed by all, at the conclusion of
which Rev. Gornall preached.

DONATIONS FOR REST ROOM.

Camas Social clubs Nos. 1 and 2 do
mated recently to the Civic club the
sums of $500 and $500 towards the

evidence that the comforts and con-
venienee of the Rest Room are appre-
ciated by out of town visitors.

FELL FROM LOFT,
HURT THEN WELL
How a Man Who Landed On
Wood Pile And Was Sore From
Head to Foot Found
Quick Relief.

Once upon a time Edwin Putnam.
who lives in the quiet, pretty hamlet Of
Wendell Depot, Mass, climbed up into
a loft to get some building material,
just as many another man living in the
country must often do. Suddenly he
slipped and fell. Ten feet below was a
pile~of wood, knotted and gnarled. It
was nasty tumble, and Mr.. Putnam
was injured painfully in the back, he
was covered with bruises, and was sore
from head to foot.
The next day he bought a bottle of
Sloan's Liniment which had been re-
commended to him. Within very few
hours the soreness had vanished and
the lameness had disappeared. He was
an active man once more.
Sloan's Liniment can be obtained at
all drug stores, Csc, SOC. and $1.OO.
