REPORTED AS BEING SEEN NEAR

REPORT RESULT OF A FOOL
ISH JOKE.

The convicts, Smead and Davis, are
still at large and have not appeared
since last week although a false report
issued again last Sunday night that
they had been located in an old Log
building on the R. S. Harris ranch mid
way between Winchester and Craig
mountain, as result of which report
Sheriff Paige of Lewis county imme-
diately started for the scene, and an
armed posse surrounding the building
in which the eonvicts were reported to
have taken refuge.
After the matter was investigated by
Sheriff Paige the report was found to
have been based on a foolish joke per-
pertated by three boys of the vicinity,
on the Harris boy who was out looking
for horses about nightfall. Two Ran

DISCOVERED IN NICK OF TIME.

Monday night what might have been
disasterous fire was discovered in the
nick of time when a barrel of clothes
sitting on the rear porch of the Ward
Van Vert residence was discovered on
fire by /. E. Zuver and the blaze put
out before making additional headway.
The origin of the fire was due to the
paper casing of firecrackers, which the
son of Van Vert had been shooting
during the evening falling in the barrel
of clothing. In this connection is might
not be amiss to mention that great care
should be used from now until after the
fourth as the danger from fire is greatly
increased through the use of fireworks
in giving vent to ones patriotism.

OUT OF MEXICO.

George X. Chase, former Idaho
county citizen who has been making his
home in old Mexico for a number of
years, arrived last week from Columbus
lamps, town in the south central por-
tion of the southern republic, after
trip of twelve days. While the feeling
against Americans was not as intense
in the section of the country he is
located in as it is in Northern Mexico,
Mr.. Chase decided it was best to leave
for the present. He says he likes the
country very well and considers it a
great place to live if the government
was only stable. According to Mr..
Chase it will take several years to
straighten out the tangle and until that
time he will remain north His nephew,
who is also located dwon there, has
decided to remain as he feels he will
lose all his property should he leave
at this time and does not anticipate any
great amount of danger from the
natives.

CHAUTAUQUA CLOSES.
Monday Saw Closing of the Entertain
ment Which Proved Popular.

Monday evening chautauqua closed
with the same good attendance enjoyed
throughout the entire six days perfor-
nance, every program being enjoyed
and pleasing those who attended. The
activity of local citizens secured the
sale of $1,000 of season tickets, being
more than was required in the pledge.
The paid administrations ran up into a
nice little figure. Whether chautauqua
will be an annual feaure has not been
determined as yet. Bad weather cut
down attendance from what might have
been expected but under the circum
stances no greater audiences could have
been Accommodated in the opera house
than attended during the entire time
from Wednesday to Monday.

LEFT TUESDAY MORNING AND
WILL BRING COMPANY UP TO
SEVENTY MEN.
q RECRUITS At PENDLETON
Home Town-Getting Recruits Every
Day-Homesteade Going.

Tuesday morning in response to the
efforts put forth to recruit Company u,
up to peace strength so that our boys
who are already in Boise will not be
broken up and distributed among the
other companies of the guard, seven
recruits who offered their services to
the state and the nation left for Boise.
These were:
Fred Erskine.
Hugh Keith.
Jacob Beckwith.
Earnest DeHaven.
Ralph Gregory.
Lloyd Leach.
Oryille d. Kendall
Fred Erskine, who is well known in
this community, goes to join his boy,
Neil who left with Company E. Fred
is of middle age but is not lacking in
enthusiasm and patriotism.
Rapidly Getting Recruits.
AS soon as it was learned that the
companies who went to Boise must be
recruited up to peace strength at once,
recruiting was pushed more vigorously
in Grangeville. kilograms were sent to
every section of the state by Governor
Alexander, to commercial clubs and to
influential men in the different COM
munities to make every effort to recruit
the Idaho guard up to full strength.
Grangeville has been responding
nobly, and A. f. Parker has been work
ing night and day to get recruits, and
with fairly good success. Tuesday he
went over to Winchester and brought
back two recruits. At White Bird, Joe
Davis is acting as recruiting afficer.
Allen o. Hess was named to act as
recruiting officer in Cottonwood and
the surrounding sections. A number
have responded and others are coming
in day by day. Many are assisting in
the work. Services of others will be
appreciated.
From the Governor.
| Grangeville should be proud of its
showing and it is praised for its splen-
did work. The following telegram re-
eeived from the Governor by A. F. Par
ker shows that the work has been ap-
preeiated. 1t is as follows:
